Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Tottenham played Liverpool in a game which saw Dele Allí turn in a performance that got under the skin of the Northern club's fan base

As a result of this, Dele's social media accounts were hacked and private content made public

Were these actions in isolation, league wide, football wide, part of a new breed of fan culture? Maybe

We're entering Pandora's box here lol

This season has seen this board receive millions of packet data calls on it's IP address, flooding the server on which it resides and rendering it inaccessible. Is that due to thousands of Spurs fans logging in to share thoughts at the same time? Maybe

Are we as a fan base so fickle that we cause a player, a,mere eight weeks into his tenure, to close his social media accounts? Was this caused by foregin bodies? Maybe

After the recent last minute goal conceded against lowly Bournemouth, this was the reaction on England's most prominate platform

Are rival football fans entering a new wave of 'banter' via digital media? Is Cyber space a modern day form of the traditional stadium terraces?

A very small percentage of on-line support actually attend football matches in person. They can't sing 'you're fucking shit, you're fucking shit, you're fucking shit". Their only avenue of 'banter' is via the internet.

Is this the start of cyber fans?
 
Still remember when Saka and Rashford got racist abuse for missing pens.

Then they found that the majority of the accounts abusing them were bots from foreign countries.

Football is great for twitter's algorithm because it creates controversy and dispute. Same for Instagram.

The good thing is that this is old news. Each time this happens, it carries less and less impact and eventually will become decaf.
