"Spuds" - really? Isn't it time to grow up ffs?

Discussion in 'The Premier League' started by Hoddle is a god, Jun 12, 2017.

  1. I have never heard anyone outside of this forum refer to Spurs or its supporters as "spuds."

    I once mentioned this term to a Chelsea-supporting mate of mine, and he looked at me as though I had just slipped my cock into his hand.

    What the Hell does the humble potato have to do with the mighty Spurs? The answer, of course, is "absolutely nothing!" It came about because some juvenile thought to himself, "Spurs sounds a bit like spuds! and spuds are little, like Spurs! Let's call Spurs spuds!" and off he chortled before, no doubt, having another **** in his mother's bathroom.

    Some of the more pathetic among you have even made reference to "spuds" in your tags or signatures. I believe one particular twat has "roasted spuds" underneath his avatar! <doh>

    My point is, that it was a very juvenile and extremely poor "joke" that has long-since passed its sell-by date. Isn't is about time that some of you got a grip and matured a little?

    Please, no wumming on this issue. Serious debate only, please. Thank you.

    Did HIAG seriously just write the words, "Isn't it time to grow up ffs!" ??

    FFS HIAG <doh>

    From anyone else I might have taken this request seriously.......

    It's just one of those stupid ****ing things you will have to live with.
    Most nicknames make no sense

    Manure <doh>
    Spammers <doh>

    Though i did quite like "L'Arse", when the Gooners were full of Frenchmen <laugh>

    Case in point, Chelsea.....
    Our nicknames are either the Chavs, or Chelski.

    Neither of which make any sense since "Ski" is a polish suffix, and our owner is not Polish.
    And Chavs are from East London, where as Chelsea is in South West London.

    But you don't hear us complaining about it.....much :p

    There is no logical 'why' just stick to calling them by that name anyway.

    and contains the stealthy wumness of having replaced the letter 'r' with a 'd'. I can see how it made an impression on Not606

    Genius

    Chavs are everywhere Bod. It just appeared that many of your new 'lifelong fans' that made themselves known when Chelsea won the lottery 10 weeks running actually were. Lots of bragging and no class

  11. Well, as I expected, my OP has stirred up a hornets' nest of debate, which is what this forum is all about.

    Well done, lads!

    Maybe your mate looked at you funny because you'd just slipped your cock into his hand.

    The official name Spuds probably comes from the fact most Spurs fans can't count to potato. Other suggestions which I prefer is they're always getting mashed or roasted hence Spuds. All teams have nicknames so the author, 'Bell' needs to grow a pair and man up.

    HIAG must know what a mans face looks like when unexpectedly faced with a cock in his hand, in order to make the analogy lol

  16. Not at all.

    I just imagined what it would be like for me to slip my knob into another bloke's hand and what his face would look like.

    I don't see what's so perverse about that, Tobias.
