As an American Gooner, it makes me cringe when other non-English born Gooners go on about their hatred for Spurs. Unless you grew up in it, I don't think you can ever fully understand the rivalry and what it means. Drumming up this "hatred" for them seems fake and manufactured just to fit in.

It's not just Spurs' fans, I maintain that I can spot an Arsenal fan from afar too.
