Good evening.
You know, I was trying to work it out. I mean, I’m Tottenham yet I don’t really feel that much animosity toward Arsenal. Now look, I’m 44 years of age so it’s not like I should be able to rustle up too many Aunty Wengeresque excuses. They are our supposedly immediate idiot neighbours. And that whole Sol thing.
But I think I’ve nailed it.
My ‘irrational’ contempt comes from my very first Spurs game. Bill Nicholson’s Testimonial at The Lane and bless the old man, he bought us a pair of seats in the West Stand Lower. We were living at the time in a place Bruxie knows well, Rhinedahlen, BFPO 4o if you please!
This wasn’t my first time at a football match, or indeed my first time at a large public event. But the West Ham fans were fierce. I mean proper fierce. Every moment of the bloke announcing various elements of the day’s celebration were marred by West Ham booing and screaming. Jumping up and down like the unwashed mentalists they still are today.
‘Good job they can’t get out’ I remember nervously saying to dad. He replied, ‘Oh don’t worry about them. Most of the stewards normally work full time at London Zoo, we’ll be fine!”
Warren Mitchell was the master of ceremonies that day. On TV, Alf Garnett was a bigoted, racist West Ham fan. But that was acting. Mitchell was in real life, Tottenham of course. As he tried to speak, the Upton Park animals barked in earnest.
‘Shhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadup!’
There was about 2 or 3 seconds of wonderful silence, then we – us – the Yids – the Tottenham laughed. The whole stadium laughed. Oh how I loved that moment. My tribe had scented it’s territory. I nearly cried with a mixture of pride and relief. How things never change, eh?
So I am writing in the morning to Peter Herbert asking him what he plans to do about today. Or does the plight of whitey not count?
We know what Westaaam are are and have been for years. Far Right-Wing affiliations with the good old NF, Combat 18 and BNP/EDL goose-stepping fascist filth.
Fuck Herbert and the authorities in general- this lot of scum have been doing this for decades without hardly any condemnation from the mainstream media, FA, Met Twat Police or those heroic murderers in Parliament (well, they can hardly take the moral high ground can they?).
Only one answer to this scum- stand and fight.
Wasn’t there one year where The Anti-Nazi League made a concerted effort to mass leaflet their ground because the “West Ham SS” were the worst in the country?
yes you are right. Spurs Against the Nazis were there.
Racist scum.
er Billy the EDL is NOT the BNP.
Get your facts right sonny
BNP neonazis
EDL defend western culture and are multiracial
HH forgive my comment but he has no right to smear the EDL with the BNP stain and he SHOULD know the difference, that is IF he cares.
Could this EDL who “defend western culture and multiracial” be the same EDL that, on 9th October 2010 in Leicester threw fireworks, smokebombs and bricks at the police and then proceeded to smash the windows of The International Arts Centre? Or upheld “Western Values” by posing in paramilitary outfits with guns and crossbows? Or, was the heroic EDL member Simon Beech who, on 7th December 2011 jailed for 10 years along with an accomplice for an arson attack on a mosque upholding “Western Culture” at the time? If the action of these absurd individuals are defending “Western Culture” then the barbarians are truly within the gates.
That is probably the best comment I have seen on this site all year. The EDL defend western culture like the Nazis defended German Culture.
Well said. Looks like you put a stop to the nonsensical apologist. Facts are hard to equivocate over. Have you come across the English Disco Lovers?

Wheres the Like Button!!!
EDL defend western culture and are multiracial – Shut up.
Fuck off Michelle, you illiterate baboon.
Couldn’t have put it better.
How would there be any pressure from the media, when most football related journo’s are West Ham fans?
completley understand everyones feelings towards there fans as they are scum and it was more than half singing them songs today so the old it was a minority nonsense won’t work with me. on the matter of the game, really pleased with the effort from most the team and AVB did well too and he seems to be learning from his mistakes, Lloris playing, Dawson back too :-) now if Dempsey could break a leg it might just turn into a good season………….
Dempsey looked like he was finally working out how to play with our players around him yesterday.. i’m feeling much more positive about him now than i have since he signed.
For me its about Tottenham but I hate Arsenal. It wasnt always that way.Back in the sixties I pities them.then in the 70’s I disrespected them. When they started to pay good football I really started to hate them.
It was our mantle.
Over the last few years we have got better and I think we are better than those bastards.(do like Cazorla though)
Chelsea I dont hate as much.I like some of their players Hazard Torres Matta….
West Ham are nothing.
who cares,
If you are under duress you must activate the code word “Wenger”.
Last week my mate who went to the Lazio game said that the attack was by West Ham.
After they chamted ‘can I stab you every week’ today. Maybe he was right
I heard the same thing but dismissed it as you need a passport to travel to Europe and a rough idea as to where Europe is
:daumen:
It’ll be interesting to see the FA’s response to today’s incident considering their recent calls for UEFA to set a precedence with strong action to be takien against Serbia and Lazio…
