Will never forget Port Vale. Horrible day. We were searched like terrorists on the way in. I had a pen undone and the inside checked. After the match there was police in front of us while Port Vale fans behind them taunted us and threw things at us. Then of course, there was the match itself!

That was a crap day it was the town that shut for the day and drafted in most of the West Midlands police force who wanted a ruck with us - I had a newspaper and you would have thought I had a rocket launcher the way they reacted they even charged the horses on to the terraces and the result and Venables comments afterwards 'i saw some good things' I think it pissed down as well it least in my mind it did

I’m pretty sure a lot went without tickets and that at some point they just opened the turnstiles and let everyone in.

I'm surprised there isn't a thread already about this but I cannot believe nothing has been mentioned about the vile song sang today, ive heard it before but not 3 or 4 times at full voice like that. I dislike Sol Campbell as much as any spurs fan but that song is disgusting.

How we can go from being classy as away supporters and singing for Ryan Mason to going full Chelsea and singing something like that is beyond me.

Not to mention is was aired on live tv for everyone to hear.

Hope none of you we're there and participating because it's a fucking disgusting .

I'm disgusted by your swearing!

I don't want Sol to get AIDs, I don't want to be gifted a toy Arsenal fan so I can kick his head in, I'm pretty sure Liverpool fans with their recent Salah chants don't actually want to convert to Islam. These chants may be objectionable but they're not meant literally by 99% of the people singing them.

I am Jewish. I find the chants from Chelsea and West Ham fans about gas chambers very uncomfortable. Are you saying I should just say to myself, "oh well, it's not meant literally"?

Or how about people act with a certain amount of decency?

No, of course not, I didn't comment on whether that made the chant okay or not - I completely understand why people find it objectionable anyway but that doesn't change the facts.

And for the record the day anyone in our support starts targeting opposition fans in anything half as vile as the manner that lot have with us is the day I turn my backs on them.

What does their anti semitism have to do with anything?

Wait, am I actually witnessing a conflation of the scum bag spammers and scum bag chav’s anti semitism and us singing about kicking a toys head in and singing sol campbell’s a ****? Yikes. I’m losing more and more hope in society everyday

I think you should go and read my original comment in this thread before sounding off.

Any song about Campbell dying, about his mental health, or anything with racist connotations is completely unacceptable.

The song about kicking in an arsenal fans head, not good at all, the little boy in that video is learning that violence is funny.

The song asking why he’s such a ****, I take no issue with, I also still take no issue with fans still hating Sol, for most of us it’s the single worst moment we’ve experience supporting Spurs and there’s no forgetting that. Doesn’t make you petty or a bad person, and ultimately it’s all pantomime anyway.

I completely agree with you but ... far too many people take it way beyond pantomime and that's when it gets bad.

I hate the **** and I'll continue to sing it.
Just saying.

Hearing the “hey sol Campbell” song on tv was the best part of being on channel 5 on Thursday nights

Exactly, it's too far.

The arsenal fan on a string, as I said, i'm not too bothered about, don't get me wrong, having a little kid singing the song is fucking disgusting, but we can't tell parents what they should and shouldn't let their children listen to and sing. The parent their is to blame, and it's not okay.

I bleed and sweat Spurs, I use my very limited holidays a year to make sure i'm free for whenever Spurs play, i'm not pro Sol Campbell or trying to preach any bullshit, as the original title suggested, I was embarrassed by how many times that song was sung that day because firstly it was very loud and very clear, and the people that "Didn't hear it" Clearly don't know the song because it wasn't exactly sang quietly. I've heard it sang in the stands before as I said but quickly goes away, it's a horrible song in it's own right but coupled with the fact it was sung so loudly and on live TV is why I was embarrassed eben more.

Not to mention we were playing Rochdale in the FA Cup Away, please tell me why the fuck we have to sing that on 4 or 5 seperate occasions to Rochdale away???

We have so many great songs, whether its songs to our current players, old players (Who we don't wish death on) Or even the FA Cup itself..

A few have already mentioned the "away" fans that just go to grounds and get pissed and not support the team as much so it's not all that surprising these songs still circulate I guess.

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 but we took Rohan Ricketts from them, so who’s really embarrassed?
