the psyche of the spurs fan

Some SMS texts exchanged during Wednesday's win against Fulham:

Pre-match

".... I am not happy with our team. We are going to lose 1-0."

"tell A to wear her lucky socks"

"Already done."

"I got my scarf on"

Fulham go 1-0 up

"told you"

"shite"

From West ham fan: " when the moon something eye, something pizza pie that's Zamora!"

"we're losing it in midfield"

"Come on Harry shake it up"

"they need to close it down like Fulham are."

"don't worry, it's a game of two halves"

"I hope that Fulham tire"

"If they do we've got a chance"

"can't see us scoring"

"wasted free kick"

"can't sit back against this shower. COYS!"

During half time

"It's time to turn up and play some football Spurs!"

1-1: Bentley

"always rated him"

"awesome"

2-1: Pav

"Oh yes!"

"Get in there"

"Harry's done the business"

"super pav"

"s u u u u u p e r"

"we want 9"

"knew we'd beat this lot easy"

3-1 Gudjohnson

"lucky."

"own goal"

":0"

"it's dreamland man. city losing, Villa dropped points. rematch against Chelsea at Wembley"

"I'm getting sick and tired of Spurs letting us down. Where's the disappointment? Where's the moaning? it looked good for 45 mins but they ruined it all. If they're not careful they'll win something"

crowing caught in the home fans' throats

The line above is from the Guardian match report on last night's game. Beyond that, words can't really describe so let's have some pictures. Bentley lobs Almunia from 40 yards

Hutton and Corluka chase Bentley. Don't know why Hutton is smiling- he gifted les Arses 2 of their goals
Another mistake by Almunia lets in Bent to make it 3-2. Almunia's woeful performance is eclipsed only by our own keeper's ineptitude.

Jenas celebrates the fact that he's rubbish unless we're playing Ar**nal. Below is proof of this odd characteristic.

Celebrations after Lennon's last second equaliser to make it 4-4 with a fan that had run on to the pitch. What's disturbing is the fan is a dead ringer for Steed Malbranque. Sunderland may be doing OK but once a Spur, always a Spur it seems.

It's not so much Lennon wheeling away here that I like but the shell shocked looks on the faces of Les Arses in the background.
