Yeah but we took Rohan Ricketts from them, so who’s really embarrassed?
I love you Rohan

Still going huh?
Either you are very young, very naive, or never go to away games?
Football supporting is an escapism for many people, that is just how it is. Some people have brought up education or class in this thread. Education and class have NOTHING to do with this.
You can be certain well educated doctors and lawyers and the like have chanted things in football grounds, or behaved like fucking idiots generally during a game - or outside a ground. In fact, I am certain, because I have been guilty of this myself.
I had a row with a few Palace fans last year when I was travelling back home to South London. They dug me out for heading back South. I said things to them out of pure emotion at the time. I probably regretted it afterwards.
But hey, football to me is purely and UTTERLY about emotion. I love football because of the emotion it drives in me.
I am 32 and have generally suffered ‘banter’ and abuse from my mates over football when we have been shit, or ‘Spursy’. It fucking pains me. Chelsea nicking our CL spot made me not want to work for a week.
When we play Chelsea or Arsenal, they are all ****s to me. But it’s just football. It’s not actually real. My best man was a Chelsea fan, but we hate each other when football is involved.
Supporting a football team is not like anything else I can think of. It is tribal and almost ganglike - all driven by the pain, emotion and joy you have all experienced together over many years.
Sol Campbell is a total ****. He deserves abuse because he acted disgustingly towards OUR club. I say OUR club in a loose way, because I probably don’t see anyone who thinks ‘we’ should be over it as a fan.
You can just stand at an away game singing lovely little songs to ‘support’ our players. I will go to the game and for 90 odd minutes forget about anything else in my life and just live and breathe the emotion of football.
Yeah people are still outraged that we hurt the feelings of some people they don't know and will never meet.Still going huh?
Outrageous that we treat one of the greatest minds in football so badly...

So much wrong with his quotes.
It is more that he thinks he should just be gifted things.His shoulder has more chips than McDonald’s
If you can’t find any others you’re more than welcome over ours, jelly and ice cream a givenHas anyone actually established where this party is going to take place?
Asking for a friend.

Im trying to work out exactly when being a football fan became some sort of popularity contest between the clubs.
Anyone know where we are in the table in regards to this?
I've mentioned in this thread that I don't sing the Sol Campbell songs, I hate him, but he's not relevant, so I won't be wasting my breath on him.Everyone keeps mentioning "Being a football fan" and "emotions" and "banter" Sorry but as a HUMAN I wouldn't be able to sing that song as it's just not right.
But all of you that think it's okay (Ironically the same people that are totally against homophobic or racists chants) Then keep doing what you're doing Again, it's you lot that find it okay who will start up threads in the future about how classless other clubs and fans are for the shit they do.
It's all banter and emotions until others do the same then we slam the for it.
I guess throwing a cup of piss at opposing supporters is banter aswell. Or not letting a black man on a train, it's just banter lol.
