Oh no I can appreciate their presence, some of their threads and posts really do crack me up, especially from our LFC supporting friends

But I just dont understand what theyre getting out of it.

What are you on about?

Spurs have a long tradition of seeking to play open, flowing, attacking football.

Let me give you an example (and as it says in Wikipedia):

"Push-and-run, also known as a one-two, a wall pass or a give-and-go, is a tactic often used in association football. It was devised and developed by Arthur Rowe, who was the manager of English football club Tottenham Hotspur from 1949.

The push-and-run style involved quickly laying the ball off to a teammate and running past the marking tackler to collect the return pass. It proved an effective way to move the ball at pace, with players' positions and responsibility being fluid.

Implementing this new and unique style, Tottenham ran away with their first ever league title. In 1951 they won the First Division Championship and became the first side to win Second and First Divisions in successive seasons."

This style of play - the dominant ideology at White Hart Lane - continued under Bill Nicholson and his predecessor as manager, Jimmy Anderson. It has continued since then and it continues today under Ramos, who is known to want his teams to play fast, fluid, attacking football, and it's a key reason why Ramos was wanted by Spurs and why Ramos wanted to come.

I dont buy this whole "I want a good football forum", there are plenty of decent neutral forums

I've been here for 7 years and have just over 3k posts.Thats not really a lot.
Anyway,I'm honest in saying I like to see manc reactions to our club and its doings. And when you lot take the piss out of Liverpool,I like to give it right back at yers.

Wikipedia here simply states the same facts that are available from many other sources - I suggest you go read them. Your suggestion that Spurs have no history of playing attacking, open football is total bollocks from start to finish.

Why on earth do you come up with such ignorant nonsense? It doesn't do you any favours.
