Every Monday I have to both endure and enjoy the weekly squabble between my Spurs and Arsenal colleagues. Regardless of anyone’s interest in the sport, and the fact that Arsenal are in fact the stronger, better, faster team(no surprise for who I support then), the debates are quite funny, and show that the rivalry is still strong…
Jim:
What’s up with Spurs then Bob?
It’s like a revolving door.
No sooner have they sold “their best” players then they are buying them back. Defoe, Chimbonda? Huh? Why Bob? Why?
…Then they buy dad’s army Cudiccini.
I wonder if they will put in a sneaky bid for Sol brutha No.1 Campbell seeing as Ledley King has arthritis in his knees…
Bob:
We should never have sold Defoe in the first place, his signing in my eyes is a victory for common sense. Chimbonda though……….(you can’t see it but I am shrugging my shoulders)……..at least it is a good bit of business, we sold him for £6m and bought him back for £3m and persuaded him to take a pay cut. Also, Cudiccini is 35, which is ok for a keeper, especially when they are cover. I think you should have gone for him, he is class.
Good luck against the mighty Cardiff.
Jim:
Thanks for the swift response but you never commented about the Sol Campbell link which makes me think that ‘Arry has got his eye on him.
He’s turning you into an even bigger laughing stock first Bentley, then Defoe and now potentially Sol Campbell…
Spurs are going backwards and downwards…
Bob:
With the Sol Campbell there is nothing to respond to.
Defoe is a good buy, we all know it, we just wont all admit it.
As for Bentley he is starting to find his form again, this is the same as the last time you tried to talk football, you are about 3 months out of date. Fingers crossed Obama beats McCain eh Jim! I know it’s a couple of months off but what are you doing for Christmas this year?
Jim:
I apologise but the situation at Sperz gets me down.
If only they got relegated to the Championship, that way they would be out of sight and out of mind and we wouldn’t have to be continually bombarded by their dreary exploits.
Bob:
That’s weird, I feel exactly the same about Arsenal…………..though your track record of beating championship teams isn’t great. Maybe we could take out the middle man and send you straight to league 1.
Matt:
Spu*s will NEVER be able to match the class, guile and prestige of Arsenal!!
Bob:
Except when we are beating you 5-1 or coming from 2 goals down with 30 seconds on the clock to draw at your ground of course. Dear oh dear……………..I think for that comment alone you should turn it off in shame.
Matt:
The fact that it infuriates you so much is also very pleasing, especially you being a Tott*nh*m fan.
The fact you guys even exist at all is a constant source of irritation for me, however, I just have to live with it (although generally smug in the knowledge that we are light years ahead of that miserable team and old dumpy stadium at White Parp Lane).
You, boy, can live with my read receipt…
How could I deprive myself of the weekly joys of highlighting the failures of Tott*nh*m to yet another deluded and bitter Spuds fan! Haha!
PS, find your own stadium design and stop trying to copy everything we do ok.
Bob:
Your stadium is a pile of concrete sh!te festering about the council tip. Ours is a shining beacon of illuminated aluminium outer casing with a floating roof. When will you realise Arsenal don’t possess the style and finesse of your far superior and richer neighbours. You are Richard Briers to our Margot Ledbetter.
Jim:
This is getting ugly.
…and now you are bringing class into this!
Everyone knows that Arsenal is the classiest club in the land.
Marble halls and all that…
Bob:
You live on a dump, that says all I need to know about your club…
Until domani mi amici. Arrivaderci.
