Because there are other people on here who feel the same does not make it a normal thing.It pleases me to see there are others in the world who share the same foible. I'll have to make sure the missus reads this thread, she seems to think I'm a bit weird because of my disliking of WBA when really, it's quite a normal thing.
Good point.Conversely, i love Gillingham but i have absolutely no idea why.
I dislike Spurs, the reason being is that pretty much every Spurs fan I’ve ever met has an air of entitlement where football is concerned.
They had a winning side about 60 years ago but still bang on about the glory days.
Tossers one and all.
You might just be right there however, if we suffer from it then I think it's fair to say other teams supporters will have it as well...... I wonder how many of them would say "Gillingham" if they were asked the same question! A good few, I think.Because there are other people on here who feel the same does not make it a normal thing.
Probably the reverse actually.
I understand shotshy's reasons but that's half the league!

I have actually never met a spurs fan that has any sort of air of entitlement like that. Maybe it's a generational thing, but pretty much every spurs fan i know (around 30-40), has never seen any sort of success in their lifetime.
What winds me up about spurs, is that their fans seem to have more hatred of Arsenal and Liverpool than they do actually like spurs. They take more glee in Arsenal's demise than they do in their own progression.
I suppose it's borne from being the lesser of the two rivals for so many years and finally they are just about ahead of them and they seem to be enjoying it so much.... but it's incredibly sad because they are only very marginally better than them to be honest. They spent years slating Arsenal in the former years of Wenger's reign, laughing at them celebrating 2/3/4th places, yet do exactly that now. There's nothing I dislike more than hypocrites - hence I don't have a lot of time for spurs. They are very quick to laugh at other clubs they deem to be in decline, seemingly ignoring the fact they've achieved fuck all for many many years other than a league cup back in 2008 or something.
My favourite wind up to them is that they have spent so long slating arsenal, but they dont even realise they are Arsenal 10 years behind, and without the actual success Arsenal had. Selling off their best players to pay for stadium debts, forced to let their best players to leave because they run out of contract, and they have just not replaced the good defence they had 2-3 years ago that is now either aging/leaving - just like arsenal have struggled in defence for pretty much the last 10 years. It really gets to them, particularly when you point out that the only 'success' they had was a dismal CL final that they were awful in, and coming 3rd place in a two horse race.
Ive never forgiven them for beating us at their place i think in our first season in the championship. I think they beat us 3-1 but it was due to some very dubious ref decisions, particularly Ruel Fox (i think?) running the ball out right in front of us that wasn't picked up by the ref.For some unknown reason I have always disliked West Bromwich Albion and I really love it when they lose a game (they are 0-1 down at the moment to Everton and secretly I am loving it). I have no idea why I dislike them so much, I have never been to their ground, never seen them play live - just got no time for them. Are there more on here with a similar dislike of a certain team for no apparent reason?
Work with a Spurs fan who goes on about how great they are/were! My response is always ''The last time you won the league my mum and dad hadnt even met'' Im nearly 57!
You are right. I think we are one of the most disliked teams in the EFL and I put forward these reasons:You might just be right there however, if we suffer from it then I think it's fair to say other teams supporters will have it as well...... I wonder how many of them would say "Gillingham" if they were asked the same question! A good few, I think.
ooooh Mozzer - any more comments like that and you might have to consider changing your name to GILLETTE!!! Lovely put down........Work with a Spurs fan who goes on about how great they are/were! My response is always ''The last time you won the league my mum and dad hadnt even met'' Im nearly 57!
None what so ever except, we all know the reason which somehow mutes the question a wee bit.....What's the problem with disliking Man. City. & a certain referee!
