Hi.
My name's Alan O'Brien and I'm 25, from age dot I was a Spurs boy
through and through, my dad saw to that. He fought off the
advances of my uncle, who tried repeatedly to turn my head towards Man U
... to be honest I'm starting to wonder why he bothered !
Every year the same old shite, links with players we can't possibly get, embarrassment when we try to sign a half decent player and he turns us down to go to Charlton - CHARLTON - who the f**k are they !!! If there isn't any money why don't the board come out and say so. Not all this thrifty cobblers we keep hearing from second hand newspaper sources. Surely the fans have earned a bit of trust ? If we can sit through Francis and Gross, 7-1 Newcastle (I was there), 6-1 Bolton (I was there) and 1-6 Chelsea (I was bloody there as well), then we can't be accused of being fair weather. Now I want my payback. Quite frankly it's an embarrassment to
support Spurs at the moment, as much as I try to glorify it and tell
myself that ours is the truer path to righteousness (rather than those
red scum dan t'road), I can't believe it any more. Even my boy
keeps winding me up saying he likes Arsenal (that's dabbling with the
black arts as far as I'm concerned) and he's supposed to be a Spurs fan
! I mean it's getting poor when a five year old knows not to
follow his dad - so why am I still wearing lilywhite ? The truth
is I love Spurs, from Gazza's FA Cup semi free kick to Klinsmann's half
volley 20 yard farewell against SCBC I have white and blue pumping
through my veins and I just can't give up - even if the club can. Alan O'Brien |
