Otta Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 I hope for Spurs fans that they don't end up another Liverpool. Always the bridesmaid, several second or third places, but choke (or literally slip) at the key moments.

red devil Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Next season is key, especially with the stadium transition. If they have another trophyless season with Wembleyitus, then the Kane's and Alli's will start looking elsewehere, regardless of contracts. I still think they need an experienced leader/talisman in the middle of the park to get them 'over the line'...

malumbu Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I've sat in the shed a few times as an away supporter. Had a nice chat with the Chels fans, who essentially said no problems mate, but just don't celebrate if you score - "We've been in the same position as you". Had a similar experience at Old Trafford where a bloke warned me at half time that the stewards would throw me out if they realised I wasn't a home supporter, and the prawn sandwich eating brigade wouldn't punch me but inform the stewards. I spent the second half having some good banter with this guy, particularly as he was from Bolton so I could rib him about about being a glory hunter.Intersting to see what happended last night. Pay a grand to sit wit the home supporters, than get punched for the privilage of it. Not wishing to start a war, just hearing your views and experiences.

maxxi Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I did similar 4 years ago - sat with a Gooner friend at Emirates on opposite side of ground to the visiting WH fans and was just warned not to celebrate which seemed like common sense*. After an early temptation when we went ahead the tension eased as we lost 5-1. My friend(s) ribbed me as things unfolded and it became apparent to some around us that I wasn't a home fan but, as they were winning easily, they just found it funny. *Though I reckon I could have tiptoed out in one of the silent periods!

Alan Medic Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I remember in the mid 80's going to see United play at Stamford Bridge. We were in a Chelsea occupied stand. A good reason to keep quiet became doubly so when Frank Stapleton approached the touchline underneath us to take a throw. Not far from us were a few guys whose origins/politics became clear when they shouted at Stapleton, *uck off you Fenian *astard.

malumbu Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I meant to say a little more. In the good old days (!) you were generally OK sitting with the home fans, but less so standing on the terrace. Now with all seaters the rough end, and the posh seats (OK there are now some very posh seats now) difference has generally gone. Although when I first sat in the shed I asked if this was wise - it's OK mate all the nutters are now in the Matthew Harding stand. Saying that there were clearly some old school in the shed.In times gone by you'd sit in the 'posh seats' being able to be a little less discrete, and if you lost (which was the safer option) you'd get banter that went into ribbing.Always a fun time at Fulham in recent years where there is no proper segregation in the away end and they even advertise some seats as being neutral. No bother although there was a chant at one time "Can you hear the neutrals sing". I was in thd old stand when Liverpool got a very late winnner a few years ago and there was a bit of an altercation. "Mate we have no problem with you being here, but don't stand up and cheer when you score". It was all very polite. As you'd expect at Craven Cottage.

Otta Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Remember going to a Merseyside Derby at Anfield (weekday evening, 0-1 with 3 red cards). When Everton scored these 2 lads in Blue shirts jumped for joy in the Kop. I remember thinking they'd get kicked in, but it was all surprisingly friendly.
