Footie grannies?

Yes tigger, but I would have traded the recent league loss for the FA cup win though .

Ooo'er Brunswick that does not sound good re RH. Stressful job!!!

Hi all. I and all my family are all mad, bad diehard Spurs fans. I have been supporting them since 1961 when we did the double and I was 12. I was born and bred in Tottenham and was in the same year of Tottenham County with Bill Nicholson's daughter Jean. I have 3 DS's who are also Spurs fans and one of them lives in Auckland and regularly gets up at all hours to watch the match. My 18 yr old DGS lives in Perth, WA and still follows Spurs. My sister lives in Connecticut and manages to watch most games. Even my 97yr old Mum loves Spurs she comes round to ours to watch the televised games and gets quite carried away. She only moved away from Northumberland Park 3 yrs ago to be nearer to me. I met my DH when I was 12 arguing over a Spurs game and we have been very happy together ever since. This year is our year. C'mon you Spurs!!

Yes, after all the pain of the last couple od decades, I feel that too Mrsdof! (I was just being polite about Leicester )

Whilst my father was a life-long Spur supporter, my mother supported Man U - I have 5 siblings, 4 of us support Spurs and the unmentionable one supports Man U. History has sort-of repeated as now DS1 supports Spurs and DS2 Man U!!! Daughter isn't really bothered, but when pressed would opt for Spurs like her beloved granddad - just as well as the baby grows are blue an white!!! COYS indeedy xx

No Imperfect 27 I think it was just because he didnt have make up on and just looked "normal" whatever that is, unlike when he is on tv.

Ah, that's a relief. And you never know, England just might not embarrass themselves at the Euros - we have a lot of young talent coming through...

This reminds me of my favourite film quote: It's not the despair I can't stand, it's the hope!

I've been a BWFC supporter since the late 40s.Had my 1st season ticket in 1952 and still have one.I don't get to many away games these days but I never miss a home match.Births Marriages and Deaths just have to fit in with the fixture list.

Imperfect 27, I'm certainly watching the current football season but being a Derby County fan for more years than I care to remember, I'm not sure if enjoy is the right word to apply to it! I have to agree with Alima, that supporting the Rams is certainly character building! I'm finding this year's premiership so refreshing. It's good to see Tottenham doing so well (most Derby fans have a soft spot for Tottenham because of Dave Mackay) but I have to say, much as I've never much cared for our East-Midlands rivals, Leicester City, I do hope they go on and win the Premiership. It just proves money can't always buy success. They seem to have a lot of hungry players and I'm just hoping they can keep up their momentum.

Born & brought up in Edmonton, about half an hour's walk to the ground, I used to go to White Hart Lane with my dad and I'm so lucky to have seen Jimmy Greaves in his heyday - no finer player in my opinion. I started watching Spurs when I was about 14 and have never lost my love of the game.

I now support my local team (Wycombe Wanderers) and only gave up my season ticket a few years ago when I met and subsequently married DH, who isn't at all interested in football!

Yes gulligranny Greavsie really was one of the best! Although we have had lot of great players over the years, including Dave Mackay, and others too numerous to mention although David Ginola deserves a special mention phwoarr

I am a Liverpool fan, have been from the 70's, and also a Brighton and Hove Albion supporter. Partner is a Derby fan so obviously some tension in our house about the Championship. Son and two grandsons are Man U and Brighton supporters and daughter sometimes supports Arsenal and granddaughter is Man City fan. The team supported is sometimes because of geography sometimes for no reason. It makes for lively conversations at the weekends.
Sorry I haven't used abbreviations for son, daughter etc but I hate using them

Yes indeed Mrsdof - David Ginola!!! Many's the fantasy I had about him!

And Dave Mackay, used to have that iconic pic of him & Billy Bremner on my office wall.

I remember getting up at 5 am to queue for hours to get two 5 shilling tickets to the Benfica match; we wuz robbed, Greavesie was not offside!

Been a Glasgow Rangers season ticket holder since 1980. Used to go with the family but, as they have all moved away, I still go on my own as I know everyone around me. Sometimes the ex is there but it's not a problem.
Also enjoy watching the Premiership and all European games on TV. So you could say I'm s bit obsessed.

So many Derby links!

Apparently I saw Jimmy Greaves score a wonder goal at the first match I went to when I was six - don't remember it though!

Looking forward to an FA cup weekend - I think the beeb has done well to work on revitalising interest in this - it used to be a huge event and take over the day in our household, no matter who was in the final.

Shame on you Imperfect27

I've been a Coventry City fan and remember the Jimmy Hill glory days well. We beat Spurs in the Cup Final in 1987!

Been a Motherwell Season ticket holder since I was 12,went home and away every week for many,many years,now go to all home games and pick and choose away games,go with a few friends who have also been going for years,my grandson has decided this year that he wants to go to games too,have warned him it's not an easy ride lol .

Great to see so many other grandmas supporting Spurs, my team since I was a teenager in the 60's and everybody else in the family supported Arsenal. Did go to some matches in the days of Jimmy Greaves and John White. Maybe I'll go again one of these days!

Oh Alexandra - John White! I sobbed for hours when he was killed by lightning; he was a fabulous player and a great loss. And then we got Alan Gilzean .... and the G-Men partnership was born. Great days, unlike the sorry lot who got knocked out of the FA Cup today by Crystal Palace!

Oh Spurs! Against Crystal Palace too! Ah well, frees up the fixture list a bit I guess...

It's called Karma......Karma........Karma

Spurs supporters in this house too and hopefully yesterday was just a blip in an otherwise fantastic season. We are really enjoying the football this season as it's so open and not the 'usual four' dominating - it makes it more exciting.

DS2 has loved football since he was a toddler and we have spent many weekends through his youth watching him play and believe it or not despite getting very wet and very cold I do miss it. I was hoping that DGS would take up the mantle but he is a rugby boy.

tigger I will remember that ...

Yes, a great season this time - so good that the dominance of the usual four has been disturbed. My DS2 is an ardent Man U fan so he is 'hurting' - such an unusual experience for him - so often the case for us Spurs fans!!!

We manage to love footie AND rugby in our household, though footie would win out for me, rugby for my DH.

We are off to MIL for a meal this evening - anxious clock watching for DH so that he can get back for the Arse** game - Sorry, I know it is petty of me, buy I do like to abbreviate .

Yes, yes, yes. Most of my friends say I should have been a man as I love football and hate shopping. My DH is glad I'm not, a man that is, and it is role reversal in our house as my DH can't stand football. Come on you Spurs - but if Spurs don't win the title hope it is Leicester.

Spurs, Man U. and Liverpool all through to the final 16 tonight ... yay!!!! Shame about the Spurs V Fiorentina referee though.

Well now, I am happy as my beloved team won today ... COYS!!!! I am beginning to think we might actually have a chance at the titile ... DH not so happy as he supports Arsenal ... ah the perils of a mixed marriage!
