7th then. Defo top 10 imo.

 

[London_Calling]

4th or 5th.

 

[Will2403]

4th! LOL! you guys sure are value for money

 

[London_Calling]

tbf, so are you.

 

[Corax]

Oh dear, Will's having another go at 'banter'.

 

[Will2403]

he just said there is a good chance of spurs finishing in the top four, surely that calls for a host of these at the very least...

 

[mattie]

What on earth is the spuds left-back wearing in that photo?

 

[Will2403]

gangsta bling! he's dope as fuck ain't he.

why he is hanging out with fellaini / sideshow bob is anyone's guess

 

[chieftain]

We should soundly beat Liverpool in the first 20 mins of games more often, at least then this child would disappear for longer.

Where you been Will2403, licking your wounds, your arsehole or both?

 

[chieftain]

Oh dear, Will's having another go at 'banter'.

I suspect Aspergers, do you concur?

 

[kained&able]

to be honest and i really really hate to say this but i reckon spurs are in with a very decent shot of 4th. Obviously its a long season and liverpool and arsenal can't remain quite as bad as they are now but baring injuries in defence and upfront i reckon spurs are good for 4th.

The tossers(with the exception of sir scott of parker)

 

[tommers]

Dave. Was that an RD thing?

 

[Will2403]

Tbh the way yous lot started the season I just felt you were too pathetic to rip the piss out of. You're doing ok at the moment and I wanted to get in early before you fuck it all up by losing to newcastle, Blackburn and qpr

I thought you were being honest?

 

[Will2403]

i was!

i haven't been even remotely interested in reminding you not to get carried away with ideas above your station since you got your asses handed to you by conceding five goals at your home ground.

now that you are getting all unrestrained, hysterical and delirious again, i thought you might find it helpful to have someone to help bring you all back to somewhere approaching reality

i'm not even charging for this public service. perhaps a bit more gratitude is the order of the day ey!

the spuddie motto should really be "ignorance is bliss"

what were the chants please people?

 

[chieftain]

They sang about wishing us unwell during the riots in Tottenham and to Ade about bring included in a notorious murder in Africa.

Spurs sang the usual shit about Wengers fondness of Children.

All very sad but not unexpected at a football match

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Do we have to pretend that it's sad? It would be much sadder if ribald chanting was stamped out.

 

[chieftain]

I love funny banter but can take or leave the predictable nasty shit

 

[Corax]

They sang about wishing us unwell during the riots in Tottenham and to Ade about bring included in a notorious murder in Africa.

Do we have to pretend that it's sad? It would be much sadder if ribald chanting was stamped out.

It was the murder of his teammates, machine-gunned whilst alongside him on the coach travelling for an African Cup of Nations game. I think that's taking it too far, losing any humanity.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Oh, I don't know. If fans genuinely upset opposition players, they're doing a good job. I'm not really bothered about the delicate sensibilities of entertainers on £40k per week.

 

[mattie]

It's not always the players' sensibilities we're concerned with.

 

[mattie]

Saying that, the living hell Justin Fashanu experienced should never be repeated.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Fashanu was bullied by other players, by managers and by the press, as well as by fans. At least Wenger's proclivities are only speculated on by the Shelf Side.

 

[mattie]

Did you ever wonder what homosexual fans might be experiencing as he was hounded to suicide?

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Nope. I don't see how it's relevant. Football chanting is a grotesque overamplification of our basest collective prejudices, so no sensible observer would take it seriously.

 

[mattie]

You can't see, or don't think?

I think most sensible observers would take the view that homosexuality is seen by a large body of people as something worthy of ridicule. The sentiment is disgusting, amplified or not.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Is cuckoldry worthy of ridicule, particularly? No. It's only funny when it's Gerrard.

 

[mattie]

Is cuckoldry worthy of ridicule, particularly? No. It's only funny when it's Gerrard.

Cuckoldry refers to an individual, homosexuality to a significant section of society.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

I don't particularly want to defend homophobic chanting, but I'm not sure that you're making a useful distinction.

The mocking of Sol Campbell's nervous debilitation - to the tune of Lord of The Dance, if you recall - wouldn't unduly have distressed any Spurs fans who suffered from mental illness. They'd have known that Sol was being targeted for being Sol.

Not that chanting is at its best when it is aimed at genuine weak spots. The reason that I enjoy the paedophile chant at Wenger is that it's so manifestly unfounded an accusation. Purity of malice is untainted by any coarse fact.
