Oh well, first game of the season, not the end of the world, confident we'll finish top five again. So chin up guys, we got Tuesday to look forward to.
Allyboy said:The biggest problem at Sp**s is their fans. They truely think because they won the double in 1961, they should be title contenders every year. So any minor sign of improvement gets embellished to s***e like "the glory days are coming back" and "the sleeping giant has woken" but if you look at what they actually achieve, its not really much.
If they actually gave their managers time to improve, they might just get there. But they expect them to get Sp**s to be better than Arsenal ASAP, because they think they have a devine right to be better than us. Given that if you take out the 1960s, at best they have been level than us and at worst a long way behind, its thoroughly bizarre that they think this should be the case.
For years Sp**s always tried to better Arsenal. Their recent board FINALLY sussed they had to make Sp**s as good as they could be, and then worry about Arsenal later. But their fans won't accept this, for your average Sp**s fans goes by the motto "hate Arsenal first, love Sp**s second".
Its true. Just hang around some of their fans for a bit and the topic of conversation will turn to being anti Arsenal. Any dropped point by us is played up as a huge crisis which shows we are imploding and any win by them proves they are soon to be back up with Real Madrid, where they truely belong. (Or so most of them think).
There are some rational Sp**s fans, but most of them think Sp**s are a true bastion of sporting greatness and no other sporting entity comes close to them. Quite what makes them think this im not sure but they seem to think so.
I never worry about Sp**s, because their is something inbred into their history and that is this. When the chips are down, and everything is to play for, they ALWAYS f**k it all up!

So true.
Also, although that's just the first game for them, the pressure on them to actually finish higher than us is immense... they really have delusions of "glory" and they have spent money with the ultimate aim of finishing above us...not the title, just above us.
They know that we own them and I really don't see that changing this season, and I think deep down they know if it doesn't happen for them this season it probably never will.
Always good for a laugh, though.
