Not all presents are well received
Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 7:17PM Tweets of the Day from Twitter.
A day or so ago I read a Gooner's tweet that stated something along the lines of 'Spurs can't say anything to us until they finish above us for 16 years running'. The point being, they've achieved over a decades work of finishing in a Champions League spot therefore, the logic at play here is that we are not in the position to be critical of them until we match this. Such a feat might be unlikely for most now that the dominance of the Sky Sports Top Four has completely collapsed from the untouchable position it attained.
Personally, I couldn't care less for their consistency (they still haven't won as many European trophies as us). Talking about the past is fine, but it's just that (the past, been and gone) and it can not always define your future even though it can inspire. All summed up perfectly in response by @NorthernWrites:
But if you are only as good as your last game, what difference does the last 16 years make? We need one year at a time.
reviewing our performance on a generational basis if for mugs. People putting up 19 banners at United who were barely alive...
when LFC were taking the piss in Europe is the stuff of small time c****. How many United fans were loling in the aisles at Henry
and had to backtrack very quickly over Scholes. Football is about the present. Not all presents are well received.
difficult situation being a Spurs fan. Given the supposed woes of Arsenal, it's easy to want to smash "St Totteringhams" day...
down the throat of most gooners we know - politely of course. But then the scales are precariously balanced. On one had there is..
fear that everything could go tits up and we slip below them. On the other, well... can we really catch the Manc sides? Maybe?
Everybody has to fight for their right (whistles Beastie Boys) to be successful and you can only be judged on what is happening right this moment and not what happened last year, three years ago, five years ago, ten years ago...and so on. Same rules apply for Utd and Chelsea.
Everyone has work to do, everyone has to work for it.

FIRST, and WTF was that all about. COYS!
We're above them and will be end of season, good start
Anyone know a site I can stream the footy from tom night? Tried some before and didn't work......
Those Goons they just can't handle the fact that as i am typing this... yes now the present day we are a better team than them.
Yes they have been better than us for a long long time and yes they have been in the CL for the last dozen or so years. But we have been sneaking up on the rails for some time now, this has not just happened this season its been over the last 4/5 years everyone remembers us being one win away from claiming 4th spot on the last game of the season, we had consecutive 5th place finishes followed by a 4th place followed by reaching the quarter finals of the CL... look where we are right now a win tomorrow night and we are joint second with a nice cushion between us and Chelski in fourth.
We have indeed come a long long way from those dark days of the past, we are once again SUPER TOTTENHAM FROM THE LANE.... and those sad gooners just can't handle it COYS !!
Rupert try Live football .net, i have been using them this season,only £7.95 for the year... very good quality streams well worth it.
The goalposts will always move with those twats.
That's part of what makes them twats.
Pay no mind to twats.
Spooky, what's happened to GG?
They are all praying that Harry gets a bad time in Court. The're vile.

Can you ban totnam please for the ashattery that is "first"
Secondly I agree totally, however trying to have that argument with any goon will just bring out the "well you would say that" argument.
Bottom line is less games played and more points. Come the end of May we will see but I would rather be where we are than relying on a dinosaur and trying to play catch up.
Rupert try Wiziwig, remnants of P2P.
@ park lane phil,
if you want to ban someone for harmless fun like posting 'first' comments, then I'd like you banned for poor grammar. It is 'fewer' games not 'less' games, for your information. Lighten up my good man. COYS!!
@northernspur.
lol whatever.
Do one
