Away Day - Spurs at Man United 2012
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 жов 2012
- Tim's got better things to do than watch Spurs lose at Old Trafford for the nineteenth time, so Dan and Nick head to the North West for their annual humiliating defeat. They fail to find a mystical Chinese buffet, learn the truth about Gervinho and watch Tottenham rip one of the beat teams in Europe a new one. After a nervous second half they discover they just because you saw it, it doesn't mean you believed it...
"Don't you know anything about football" - Up pops Mark Lawrenson.
Priceless.
There's so much about this video that brings up good memories and good vibes. I am not a Spurs fan but one of my best friends is, and so I know about them more than I know about most teams in the EPL (I'm a Barca fan). And though I know more about the team than your average non-supporter might, I never watch their games. This game, however, I remember well. And there's a story behind that. I hope you will indulge me in this story of mine and how it resonates with Spurs themselves.
My Yid friend and I had had a big fight (due to my ginormous ego and is the only one in our friendship so far). We were not on speaking terms for a few weeks. This game happens. I am angry at my bud, I am hating everything about him, he is the only Spurs fan that I know, so of course in my pettiness, I want Spurs to lose. I don't watch the EPL ever but I'm tuning into this game because I want to watch the Spuds get their asses kicked. It's United, it's Old Trafford, "Lads, it's Tottenham", this is gonna be cathartic and masochistic.
It doesn't go like that of course. Spurs score, then they score again, and then United make you think they're gonna come back and they don't. And Tottenham Hotspur have beaten Manchester United at Old Trafford for the first time in a long time! And I felt shit, and I was still angry, but I also felt a little shame at my pettiness and how I treated my friend. And I thought I'd give it a few days for my ego to further subside before apologizing. And you know what the saintly bastard does? He apologizes *to me*!!!!
So I remember this game because of the story associated with it. But I also remember it because I think it represents something in the history of Spurs. For the longest time, Spurs were the laughing stock of the EPL. They were respectable mid-table squad but not anything more. And then they get Top 4 and get to the Champions League and surprise everyone, and then the next season they seem to be high flying and then Capello gets fired and Redknapp is under the spotlights as the possible successor, throwing the dressing room into disarray. And a team that seemed guaranteed to make the Champions League again (hell, maybe even compete for the title), suddenly is going to the Europa. That was a dark season and a dark time for Spurs fans.
Then AVB gets hired. Spurs get new sponsors and new jerseys. The team looks like it wants to turn a page. They start playing beautiful football, they look *different*. And then this game happens. And I genuinely believe that this game is a turning point in the history of the club. What I know is that the seasons before they had the "typical Spurs" aura, and after this game, they did not. They weren't lasagna Tottenham, they weren't "Lads, it's Tottenham", they weren't a joke anymore. They became the elite Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, and don't you ever fucking forget that.
They've had some collapses since, but nothing as heart-wrenching, imo and understanding, as 2012. Spurs have become different, and this game epitomizes that transformation. So when I feel crap, when I feel shit, when I want to feel like my troubles can one day go away and I can get to turn a page on them, I tune to a few Barca vids, but I also tune to this one. It's hilarious. It's poignant. It has a bittersweet memory that I get to use to laugh at my ego and stupidity and appreciate the good friend I have. And it has an underlying meaning for me that gets me through the tough times. After all, even while some c*** was asking Jesus for fried chicken, disbelieving in the supernatural in front of him, adopting the "I'm a cynic because I'm not an IDIOT", Jesus was feeding a multitude. And miracles, however unlikely and however unimpressive they may be to the cynics in us, do happen.
