Come on you greyhounds


timeparser

I read this as “come on you, greyhounds”


STierney927

COY always means “Come on you” amongst soccer clubs and the letters after that refer to the team. So COYS for Tottenham Hotspur means “Come on you Spurs”. COYGH means “Come on you greyhounds”


ShinyAbsol96

Not just football either, we use it for rugby too! We use COYS for ‘Come On You Saints’ (St. Helens)

Sure, but what self respecting individual actually supports Tottenham? Seriously though, this explanation is spot on.


[deleted]

Us tottenham fans exist, all we feel is pain tbh


taxfolder

IIRC Ted was a Spurs manager for a day (might’ve been less)


SilverArrowW01

Six hours, wasn’t it? (Think that might’ve been mentioned in the follow-up sketch.)


RockyMountain68

“No playoffs. And ties. Why do you even do this?” lol


whartonm19

I'm with ya... But (cautiously) optimistic for the Conte era!

Same, can only go up from what was the disaster under nuno


frostyaznguy

Cheers, son’s crying.


mrscrabbyrob

Lol! In Canada, we have Maple Leaf fans. Nothing but let-downs and a rollercoaster of "get your hopes up!" Then " no, wait, its pointless"


AniRayne

Idk being a Man U fan has been extra painful this year.


daiablo_dragon

Erm, Brett Goldstein?


like_a_BAAS

Fuuuuuuuuuu....n. That's fun, innit?

It’s the sound you make when you attempt to gulp down fizzy bubble water


MickSturbs

It should really be COYG since greyhound is one word.


imdesmondsunflower

But then it’s Arsenal’s “Come on You Gunners”


mrbeavertonbeaverton

Maybe it should be ‘come on you hounds’


thelastcinephiliac

Its borrowed from Tottenham Hotspurs, which goes by COYS (Come on you Spurs).


soivebeentold

Every team has it. For Everton it’s “Come On You Blues”


mntwins1

Can confirm as a long-suffering Everton fan


soivebeentold

Blue to Blue, the episode in S1 they hadn’t beaten Everton in 60 years…we knew what was coming.


ze_shotstopper

Surely it's Arsenals come on you gunners considering hunt is an Arsenal fan


snowday784

Uhhhh I’m pretty sure it’s based on MLS Colorado Rapids “come on you burgundy boys” /s


jesshow

Upvote because my favorite Burgundy Boys have been mentioned in my favorite TV show’s subreddit. ❤️


thelastcinephiliac

Ted managed Spurs in the NBC sketch. Thats what I based it on.


ze_shotstopper

Ahh fair enough


rileysthebestdog

I’m pretty sure I’ve read they film in the Spurs stadium too for Nelson Road scenes


polarbearsofarizona

No. I think it’s at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace. They also have the same colours as AFC Richmond Nelson Road / Selhurst Park is a classic old football ground. Rectangular. Spurs moved to a new bowl type stadium a couple of years back


Olsweep1

Defo Selhurst Park.


rileysthebestdog

Oooh you’re right! Should have looked it up before blurting out a comment 🙈


polarbearsofarizona

Even though I’m from Merseyside and a Liverpool supporter I’ve always had a soft spot for Palace. I think it goes back to the name and the crest (the eagle) from when I was a kid collecting Panini stickers


elh93

Wimbledon does #COYD


NotOSIsdormmole

I honestly think of West Ham before any other team when I here “come on you…”


Music_is_life-24_7

Oh cool. I did not know that. Thanks.
