Alright Gents.

Lots of talk about scum/bluscum reactions to Saturday’s tragedy. Gooner mates have been fine, actually. Sympathetic even, an acknowledgment of the sheer cruelty and injustice of it all.

Cheer for City and you might as well cheer the scarcity of oil that’s driving us towards geopolitical meltdown, unjust wars and keeps the boot on the throat of hardworking, decent people.

Cheer for bluescum and you might as well cheer the impoverishment of the Siberian peoples and continuing corruption of a major international country.

Cheering the playthings, whims and corporate vehicles of billionaires. The decaying, rotten heart of modern football.

I never want to cheer for a club owned by a reminder for why this world is so f**ked up. F**k that. I’m proud that my cheers don’t stick in my throat and prouder still that that in my quieter moments I don’t have have attempt to reconcile moral cowardice with the support of my team.

I know who we are. We know who we are. COYS, ever.

Thanks for your efforts. See you next year.

    Joe Lewis is a tax exile. They to me are no better than the forces you decry. If people like that paid what they should having made their fortunes here it would be far better for the common man. Stick to talking about football instead of making social commentary that simply doesn’t stand up.

    This was an email that was sent in. Not our comment. Plus it’s a dig at Chelsea and City. Lighten up!

    And what do you think Joe Lewis is? An impoverished barrowboy. Spurs, despite being a mediocre mid-table club are one of the richest in a very rich league. As far as the cruelty and injustice is concerned. Teams as low as fourth in the PL should not be near the “Champions” league.
    Despite all the evidence, your manager walking free. That is injustice!
    Injustice is that slimey Levy blackmailing the Mayor into ploughing money into infrastructure to benefit his grubby club.
    Justice? Don’t make me laugh. Tottenham not getting into the CL is one of the best laughs I’ve had this year.
