I can't understand why they despise each other, they are based close together, I would have thought they would be fairly friendly with each other?
Have been round my partners house, where they all support Tottenham. I support Arsenal, and was told I was not allowed to celebrate at all if Arsenal got a goal, or make a noise if there was a near miss etc. I thought they were joking! We were losing 2-0, and they cheered at their goals and were all happy etc. Then Arsenal got a goal and I cheered. I got some really filthy looks and a proper mouthing off later on. I really thought they were going to throw me out the door. I was told I was lucky not to get a beating, and they meant much of what they said to me, which was really offensive. To me, football is just a game and should be enjoyed, a bit of banter if half the fun of it. These people I've known for three years, I work day by day with two of them, and have been dating another for over two years. Is what I did so wrong? Finished 2-2

I have banter at work with a Mackem but it never gets out of hand
If they were true Spurs supporters shouldn't they have been at the match???
Part time supporters who think they know it all
IGNORE THEM - they are the ones who are the fools

Hate is the next nearest thing to LOVE.
In all probability the supporters of both sides Love each other!Perhaps they do not wish for others to know of this silent envy and admiration of that is just beneath the surface.

Because everyone knows the Gooners are far superior to the Speerz, even the speerz supporters. Jealously and rivalry.

They both want the territory, and they are too close by wouldn't you say? Its quite nice for local house prices according to my friends, whom I have no idea hold loyalties for proporting to be ice hockey or dragon boat racing, anything that gets the adrenalin rushing.

no mate, u got it right, they got it wrong.
u sound like me here!
at the end of the day, we all share a passion for the one beautiful game. i wish more people would accept and respect that.
when youngsters see that kind of behaviour, it perpetuates it.
mind u if u is a gunners fan, i expect they might be a bit
on the sensitive side!!!
all the best.

I agree with others, you did nothing wrong. I also agree with you--it is only a game. Sad, but it is better to cheer for team at all.
