Good morning.
Presumably the Daily Mail are busy padding this one out into 250 words that at an absolute bare minimum will all be spelled correctly. Benoit Assou-Ekotto aka A&E Tweeted earlier this morning:
Clearly he was deluged with, ‘Oh Benny, has it all gone wrong? Please tell us it has!’ type responses and felt compelled to issue a second Tweet to clarify. It just goes to show the mindset of our ‘support’ in these dark autumnal days.
We’ve too many of our first choice picks missing, did you hear about that? Speaking of which I note from the usually reliable PhysioRoom.com that Sandro is down as TBC which doesn’t bode well at all. Not at all. Scotty Parker is two weeks away which points to him missing City and realistically, Arsenal too. Benny and Moussa are also both TBC so it wouldn’t be too previous to add them to the list. Raging Kaboul is supposedly 7 weeks away. What joy.
But of course, all this is completely irrelevant. It’s down to the manager. Jake Livermore is back in 5 days so there is no need to fuss or flap. Arry had injuries and you never heard him complain. We should have brought in Rodgers. Ah, scratch that. Liverpool in 12th. Martinez wouldn’t have crashed our plane so early on in the season. Mmmn scratch that, they’re in 13th.
The important thing to do at this stage is remain determined and focused upon apportioning blame. And those who never wanted Villas-Boas appointed must ensure they are lightening quick in self aggrandize themselves. 5th and a speeding like a freight train into a relegation scrap.
If AVB was established (meaning, at least 1 season under his belt) with a fully-fit squad (containing signings he actually wanted)and we were flirting with relegation or even back to the not-so-long-ago days of mid-table mediocrity, then I could understand the kind of criticism I’ve seen lately. As none of the above criteria applies, I am baffled by it.
Same.
The Eyeballer don’t like the sound of this Society for Black Lawyers – are they an underground movement like the People’s Front of Judea?
Tottenham fans singing about ‘Yids’ is part of our identity. Enough said.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch: The Eyeballer just saw the provisional squad for the Maribor game on Thursday on London 24….no mention of Adebayor.
The Eyeballer thinks that this game would be the perfect opportunity to pair adebayor with defoe and hopefully get some goals at home…

Yiddish(yid) is a Language not a Peoples,so no race intent :daumen: For nearly a thousand years, Yiddish was the primary, and sometimes only, language that Ashkenazi Jews spoke.

Unlike most languages, which are spoken by the residents of a particular area or by members of a particular nationality, Yiddish – at the height of its usage – was spoken by millions of Jews of different nationalities all over the globe. The decimation of European Jewry during the Holocaust in the mid-twentieth century marked the end of Yiddish as a widely spoken language and of the unique culture the language generated. Today, select groups of ultra-Orthodox Jews continue to use Yiddish as their primary language. Yiddish language is now widely studied in the non-Jewish and academic worlds
Yep, not quite the point, Phil, but good try…
Bitch
Bee-atch?
???
I hate the way this site won’t allow Hebrew or Yiddish.
Please expand,as I do not follow your gist,mine is factual.
Ok dont expand see if I care,did I ask you?
maybe you owe ME 50 dollars
Your account is absolutely factually correct. What is also true is that many, many Jewish people find the term Yid highly offensive, despite its long historical significance.
Mainly, this stems from the misappropriation of the work by racists throughout the 20th Century, when it was almost exclusively used by non-Jews to describe Jews in a wholly perjorative way (“dirty, f*cking Yid…”, etc).
This use became engrained. It entirely overwhelmed the historical meaning: in fact, the historical context became irrelevant.
I understand that Spurs fans have reclaimed the word and I fully support that (and shoving it down the racists’ throats).
However, it would be incorrect to say that a large number of Jewish people don’t find the term highly offensive, despite its historical meaning, as they do…
It’s a bit like saying – “Paki” can’t be offensive, it’s just short for “Pakistani” … and, anyway, Pakistani is a nationality, so what could be less offensive than that?
We all know that the term “Paki” is rarely, if ever, used in a positive context. The same is/was true of Yid.
And the Paki in Pakistan actually means beautiful I think?
Yeah, and that’s why your average bargain basement racist low life scum uses it as a term of abuse and belittlement is it?………it’s a term of endearment isn’t it?
FFS!
Tell you what, this black lawyers society is enough to turn you racist. When will these idiots give up. We are not racially abusing our own fans ffs. Like the statement form spurs says, its the scum like chelsea who actually come to us and use “yid” as abuse. We have adopted it as tribal and it deflects and nullifys the abusive element. I think it was a jewish group of spurs fans that started it anyhow? So Baddiel, bls or whoever. TURN IT IN YOU F-ING MORONS.
Also its disgusting that racism is being used slyly in a psy op sense to undermine freedom of speech. If any reacts to that statement with outrage it just proves that point. Try not to misinterpret.
