Why do Spurs hate Arsenal Part 2?

1929: Justice for the First of the Gooners - Henry Norris – a lifetime ban from Football – too little too late - Sir Henry got his come-uppance. In 1929 the FA banned him from soccer because he constantly flouted their rules and was also suspected of making illegal payments to players. A year after he was banned, Arsenal won the FA Cup for the first time and in 1931 became the first London side to win the Championship. Tottenham, meanwhile, spent most of the 1930s in the second division -- their glory days still in the future

1929: Herbert’s Legacy – Ex Spur Herbert Chapman managed to get some of the Spurs Lilywhite into their kit by making the sleeves white – but his other efforts to weaken Arsenal failed as they won the league a couple of times under his control

1968: Bob Wilson – Oriental spy

1971: George Graham - claimed a goal in some cup final or other that he blatantly did not get anywhere near to touching

1974: Don Howe – Criminally Insane individual

1979: Alan Sunderland - "and you're just a murderer, Sunderland"

1979: Peter Story - jail for running a brothel

1980: Peter Story - jail again, this time for counterfeit gold coins

1981: Kenny Sansom – played for England

1987: Paul Vassen - Drug stuff

1988: Paul Davis - breaking Glenn Cockerill's jaw during a first division game

1989: Paul Merson and Steve Bould are "disciplined by Arsenal" after late night incident at sponsor's function.

1989: Arsenal are fined £20,000 by FA for part in brawl during game against Norwich

1990: Peter Story - jail again - this time for porn smuggling conviction

1990: Merson, Groves , Winterburn & Richardson sent home from club tour of Singapore following another alleged "late night incident".

1990: Arsenal fined £50,000 by FA and docked two points after Old Trafford brawl. The Club in turn fined manager George Graham two weeks wages after holding him responsible for lack of discipline on the field.

1990: Tony Adams - Jailed on drunk-driving charges.

1991: Paul Merson, Ian Wright and David Seaman charged by FA with misconduct after incidents at end of first division match at Oldham.

1982: Lee Dixon – played for England, and even Adams used to sing “if Dixon plays for England so could I” to him in training

1993: Andy Linaghan makes anti Semitic remarks to Jewish Taxi driver

1993: Ian Wright banned for three games after FA commission upheld charge that he had directed a punch at Tottenham's David Howells during game at White Hart Lane. Commission also fine George Graham £500 for improper remarks to referee Alf Bush after same match.

1994: Paul Merson, probably for a bet or when he was pissed, was sent to drug addiction clinic

1994: David Seamen dumped his Mrs and Kids for some floozy

1994: George Graham's £430,000 bungs first reported

1995: Ray Parlour arrested after punch-up with Hong Kong taxi-driver on a club tour

1995: Graham found guilty by FA inquiry and banned from football for 12 months.

1995: David Hillier charged by police for credit card and luggage theft at airport.

1996: Donkey Adams confesses to his teammates that he is an alcoholic (and then puts his arm round them telling them they are his best mate).

1996: Nigel Winterburn under investigation by the FA after the police reported him to match officials for making inflammatory gestures towards rival supporters in the wheelchair section

1996: Ian Wright (again) on an FA Misconduct charge for calling Sheffield Wednesday manager David Pleat a pervert.

1996: Arsenal players involved in half-time scuffle with Coventry players in the tunnel & Ian Wright smashes and badly breaks Coventry goalkeeper Steve Ogrizivic's nose

1996. Unfounded & completely untrue rumours circulated about Arsene Wenger being a paedophile! which he most certainly is not.

1998: From the repulsive JVC, they are now sponsored by the Italian word for ****, Sega. Apparently “Arsenal” means something disgusting in most languages

1998: Dutch winger Glenn Helder attempted suicide after becoming a compulsive gambler whilst at Scumbury

1999: Despite "New" Arsenal, they still have the worst disciplinary record in the league

1999: Ian Wright Chicken tonight advert

1999: Graham Rix - Old Gooner instincts die hard, as he joins the rest of his former team mates inside for a spot of under age sex

1999: Sheffield United in the Cup scandal - Typical example of their cheating ethos. It was the 5th round, it was 1-1. A Sheff United striker had gone down after a Grimandi challenge and the ball was cleared, eventually coming through to the United keeper and, as Bergkamp closed in, the keeper cleared into touch so his team-mate could receive treatment. There followed a break while the United man got treatment, and was substituted. Parlour then took the throw, but rather than give it back to United, as almost all honourable sportsmen will do, he threw it to Kanu who passed it to Overmars who scored the winner. Evil and wicked

2000: Patrick Vie

Update:

We know we are not saints.....I just want people to know that Arsenal started it...we are just responding.......even if you murder someone in self-defence, you get away with it...i'm just defending myself!!

    Typical answer from gooners...they can dish it out, but never take it!!

    All arsenal fans do on here is slate Spurs all the time...you post something which is factual, and also pretty damn funny, and all they can do is complain.

    I hope they enjoy their battle for 6 th place this year.

    Source(s): TO: Cesc, I could name loads of things Spurs are better at....but i'll just stick to the big 2.... 1. In England and Internationally, we are far more popular than arsenal. 2. Winning European trophies....only Liverpool and Man U. (from Britain) have won more than Spurs!!

    A lot of that stuff has nothing to with the Arsenal - Spurs rivalry.

    1998: From the repulsive JVC, they are now sponsored by the Italian word for ****, Sega. Apparently “Arsenal” means something disgusting in most languages

    Random comment that has nothing to do with anything like most of the points

    If you want to know why Arsenal hate Spurs fans....take a look at this question

    At last the Arsenal fans arent wankers...unlike Spurs fans, who abused Campbell so much that he felt the need to stop playing and ask a policeman if he could stop it, taunted Eduardo about his broken leg...

    Repeatedly called Arsene Wenger a paedo...

    YOU AINT SAINTS EITHER!

    reason why spurds hate us soo much is cuz we've always been better than them and always be. not one time have they fifnished ahead of us in the league. NAME ONE THING SPURDS ARE BETTER AT.

    and to the 1999 sheffied game, if you knew had to reseach, you'd know that wenger made us replay that game afterwards cuz he thought it wasn't fair, we still won the game. had it been spurs, they'd never looked back.

    spurs hates us simply cuz they can't beat us. we are and always will be better.
