Kick 'em all out... granny's first .

[Maquiladora]

I knew it!

Im glad you arent the mayor of my hometown, id get thrown on a train out for being a Tottenham supporter

[Az]

Nah. football clubs are completely different.

[Maquiladora]

Good, 'cause I was joking.

[Az]

Every joke is only partly a joke.

[Maquiladora]

Not my jokes.

You should get thrown out on a train for being a Tottenham supporter no matter what town you are in .

Though, in you defense, I will say I find it amusing how they have so embraced Judaism even though most of the fans and all of the players are not .

[Maquiladora]

Some of em certainly dont embrace it, although theyre not nazis either, its just old being labeled something youre not. Although i imagine its far worse actually being a Jew listening to some of the songs the other fans sing.

Here's a nice one:

Spurs are on their way to Auschwitz,
Hitler's gonna gas 'em again,
We can't stop them,
The yids from Tottenham,
The yids from White Hart Lane

Oh Spurs are on there way to Auschwitz
(repeat)

(sung to tune of "Spurs are on their way to Wembley", by Chas & Dave)

"West Ham will show them Jews up at Spurs a thing or two!!" - Alf Garnett.

I see the Mexicans booed the US anthem and chanted "Osama, Osama" during the match.

I love football.

[Agathon]

I still approve of singing "Who's that burning on the runway" at Old Trafford. Down with Taggart and the scum.

I believe that is how the Spurs adopted Jewishness as something of pride. As a way to show those hateful opposing fans (especially Chelsea ones) by adopting that which others considered an insume.

[Agathon]

People who sing racist football songs aren't really racist, they just want to annoy the opposition.

That's what football is about.

[C0ckney]

back in the day, when john barnes was playing and everton fans used to chant '******pool, ******pool, ******pool', think there may have been some racism behind that...

Perhaps the Spurs fans in and around Tottenham, but they take it too seriously anyway.

If this were proper serious theyd be shooting and stabbing each other every week, but as Agathon says, between the vicious words theres an understanding there. Besides, theyre all stood together, united in hate when England plays.

OMG, those are teh evil.
