Rivalry, between us and the Goners is DEEP, for whatever reason the team across the way, seem to think ALL Spurs supporters are simply jealous,this is SO far from the truth. Lets NOT hide from the facts, the disaplinary record of the GONERS,is by far the worst in the premiership,time and times again these thugs who call themselves professional footballers ARE ALLOWED to behave in such a disgraceful manner, really bad losers. They need to learn discipline, and respect for their fellow professionals on the field of play. The FA will dish out a slap on the wrist, we all know why the punishment will be light - enter Mr.Dein. What OTHER club in the premiership can so openly get away with this. We DON'T EVNY the Goners, but believe in fair play. please read on - Goners were relegated from Div 1 in 1913, playing at Plumstead, South London in front of 3 to 4,000, so moved to Highbury, North London. The move masterminded by their chairman, Sir HENRY NORRIS who foresaw greater potential for the club in the north London catchment area, where Tottenham Hotspur were drawing in huge crowds, with attendances of 20,000 plus, Goners had finish in 5th place of div 2 in 1915, So with no chance of Promotion back to the 1st division,NORRIS engineered a plan under somewhat contentious circumstances when the Football League resumed in 1919 to get them promoted. Spurs finished bottom of the 1st division in 1915, after the war the league was expanded to an extra 2 teams in div 1, so Tottenham were expected to stay up after the top 2 teams in Division 2 were promoted. However, Norris somehow managed to persuade the FA get Arsenal elected in their place. As TOTTENHAM we WILL alway hold a grievance to this, you stole our land and our 1 div place, NEVER FORGOTTEN. Success is fine,PRIDE is GREATER, North London belongs to THFC 3 sent off VIOLENT CONDUCT. 1 ACCIDENTIAL HANDBALL. Same punishment, How ? FUNNY HOW THINGS HAVEN'T CHANGED,EVEN after all this time !
