Sitting in the Chelsea section next week...

[spurious1]

As I will be visiting a friend who has the bad taste to be a Chelsea fan next week, I jokingly asked him to grab a couple of the prawn sandwich seats from his posh mates. For better or worse he took me seriously, so now I find that I will be watching the match from deep within a sea of light blue.

I never had this particular experience before, so I was wondering - is it sufficient to just try to appear indifferent and avoid overt displays of enthusiasm for Spurs actions, or does one have to actually pretend to support Chelsea?

I don't know, in concern with your question but all I can say is good luck :lol:

If you don't want to be thrown out, you shouldn't draw attention to yourself.

I've heard of away fans in the home section be thrown out by stewards after other fans 'pointed them out' when they celebrated the away team's goal.

Okay, we can get you out of their safely. There's a few ground rules

1) Never mention anything in football prior to 2003. They will know immediately that you aren't one of them.

2) You may speak as warmly of Mourinho as you like, in vague terms. In fact just stick to how great TSO is and you'll be good.

3) If things get sketchy, just call Anton Ferdinand a lying twat. That will give you time to escape.

I also heard things like that, which is why I asked...I think that any spontaneous and uncontrollable jests of excitement when we score, I can retroactively try to warp into apparent winces of despair at the misfortune of my "beloved Chelsea"

I went and had to sit in with them during our awful run against them. fortunately we drew 1 all so it wasnt too bad. whom I kidding. It was horrible!!!

Get there early, act like you have tourettes for a while before hand in the bar, then you can practically say and do whatever you like.

If not, i'd suggest taking the approach of tutting and rolling your eyes in celebration if we score, perhaps this can be expanded on with a bit of sarcastic hand clapping, but at all costs only blame the Chelsea defenders if we score, give no credit to our strikers whatsoever.

Aside from anything else, they don't deserve it recently

Mate, take the end old style, we'll be right behind you.

I've done it loads of times when I couldn't get a ticket. Scum semi-final at Wembley when we won 3-1, very enjoyable. Chelsea on a mates season ticket, bloke next to him asked him if I was Spurs at the next game:grin: so I didn't hide it well. West Ham a couple of times, and a few times in The Northbank Highbury, mind you there were probably more Spurs than Arsenal in the NB in those days.

I sat with the Reading fans about two years back and celebrated like fuck when Keano blasted in a pen. We lost 3-1, and I got a lot of stick that day...

 

[Wellspurs]

Make out you are against them demolishing Stamford bridge for a new ground...and dont add "How can they bull doze 8 years of history"

I was at that game too in the reading side. I shouted out yid army as i walked out down the stps after getting out of my seat. I also went to the lane and sat in the reading end. I felt like i was cheating on a woman right in front of her. It felt dirty and i hated being stared at with hatred. Great game though. 6-5 or 4 i csnt remember now.

 

[riggi]

Im in the away end upper.

Good luck mate, expect to hear a few nazi'isms and other ****ish behaviour :up:.

 

[onthetwo]

what about "we love you Luka?" Cant go wrong with that one surely.....

 

[yido_number1]

Act like a total prick, wear chavy clothes and tell them you have to leave early cos your on parol and they won't suspect a thing...

 

[harrowspurs]

Do me a favour mate,(as im not going to the game) stand up when its quiet and shout "my mate on SC f*****g hates you c***s with a passion.

Im sure you'll be ok...cheers for that.

( i really do despise them).

As long as they don't score, there will be nothing for you to have to pretend to be happy about. :wink:

 

[class of 62]

if your in the harding upper or lower make a few references to anything anti jewish & they'll take you in as one of their own immediatley.. i dare say they'd ask you to buy a s.t for next year!!.
anywhere else in the ground is full of tarquin & rory types!. if the game is shite you can always talk about boarding school for young harriet & hilary.. if we're losing badly strike up a conversation about rugby & you'll make/have friends for life!

 

[mkkid]

Id never do it again,it was horrible!

This view of the chavs isn't actually right, they are in reality more pikey's than upper clase Rory's.

Most of them live in either a council house or more commonly a caravan. Chav land is not for the guys who have old money, they are down at the Cottage, chav land is for pikey's who like to pretend that they have money for an afternoon before going home to the reality of their very poor standard of living.
