Eh? I never said it had anything specifically to do with the club. But Spurs fans as a whole get a bad rep.

We've seen it on here before, Liverpool fans being called X, Chelsea fans called Y for things a minority have done.

As a Spurs fan, I'm ashamed to be affiliated with the same club.
Get a grip mate, youll be searching for a long time to find a club without moron fans

That doesnt absolve ours for doing that.
No, but being ashamed with being affiliated with a club that has fans that do the same as any other in the world is pretty strange. If anything the only shame is that there are people like that associated with any club

Is there any actual evidence of this? Or is Josif Joseph Josip Jose just saying it?

Don't forget his family are the ones who've been courting the news and media non-stop telling them they'd not received anything like a fair offer, when the CPO itself will actually give them a market-defined fair offer which is reputed to be orders of magnitude less than Spurs offered them.

I don't trust this family one bit. Especially since he's admitted in public on Twitter that the only thing they're trying to do is delay it as long as possible.

Are you embarrassed to be a human when you hear on the news that a human has done something horrific?

Yes, because that's the same.

We grow up identifying ourself with a certain group of people and I don't think it's strange to be disappointed when fellow members of that group do something negative or shed a negative light on the group.

I think it's a similar situation to when religious extremists carry out negative things, you expect moderates to be disappointed/ashamed/condemn it.

To be honest, some of the things British people have done throughout history make me ashamed to be British.

Simply making a point that condemning Spurs/Spurs fans without a shred of evidence at the moment is premature, and there are other options that are as logical.

Such as;

Accidental factory fire

Insurance job by the company or someone they have got to do it.

Basically no-one knows, and in my opinion it is just as likely to be a Spurs fan as it is a random arson attack or a insurance fraud.


The flaw in your argument is that Archway have been receiving threatening tweets, facebook messages and according to that article this morning even bloody phonecalls - all from Spurs fans.

Who or whatever caused the fire, Dibble will be looking for someone with a motive.

An employee of Archway has told the Haringey Independent that firefighters said two empty petrol cans were found inside the building.

Unconfirmed at the moment.

First reaction on reading this was that Archway needed better security

Second reaction is that there must be a cheaper way of burning a place down than using two cans of petrol, even with the recent drop in oil prices, petrol still isn't cheap

Fucking hell your house must be a fun place to be - a paradise of shame, hand-wringing and self-flagellation.

Where's Lammy, he normally pipes up when somethings going down on his manor.....

Currently furiously washing his hands then shouting 'FUCK' when he realises he should have two empty petrol cans in his garage right now...

I am not condoning threatening tweets, or aggressive behaviour at all.

But they were as recently as September not reported by Archway and were ignoring them, if they genuinely felt a threat or were worried about the legitimacy of claims that were more than idiotic distance tweets surely they would have reported them?

In the words of Theadora Josif on FB '..We are ignoring it for now..'.

The for now just seems to have met an almost too convenient lapse in regards to whats happened.

Just playing devils advocate for all those willing to blame a Spurs fan straightaway.
