21. Tottenham Hotspur

 Whenever anyone mentions Spurs I remember my great uncle Alan Wibble who despite being a bit of a clown and serial loser in every aspect of his existence was friendly and well regarded in his native Edmonton.  He supported Spurs all his life, he used to say if he had no bad luck he would have no luck at all, "So it was destiny that I support Tottenham I suppose."


For that reason alone I hope Spurs smash whatever side they are playing this weekend.

20. Fulham

Whenever someone mentions Fulham I remember my great uncle Wolfie Wibble who was a great influence on my political leanings. He lived in Tooting but considered Fulham to be his team and resented being priced out of the area by bloated plutocrats and the petit-bourgeoise.


Ultimately of course he blamed Margaret Thatcher. "Come that glorious day of revolution young Jah", he would say, "they'll be first up against the wall".


For that reason alone I hope Fulham smash whatever side they are playing this weekend.
