Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

There are an estimated 6.5m Jews in the world

There are an estimated 30m people who identify as Tottenham fans (and if you count China where it's an unknown that could be as many as 100m)

Respectfully could the Jewish state please refrain from using the term Yids as clearly Tottenham have a far larger claim to the word than you do

Many thanks ... YID ARMY

FYI - To the Jewish Council - You really should know your own history, and UK law

The word Yiddish is not offensive, so neither is Yid. The word Yid is used to differentiate between an Eastern European, Yiddish-speaking Jew and an Israeli, Hebrew-speaking Jew.

Using the word ‘Yid’ at White Hart Lane will no longer be an arrestable offence, the The Metropolitan Police has announced. They were told anti-semitic holocaust songs directed at Spurs fans, which are an offence, are different from chants sung by Spurs fans including the Y-word, which are not.

 
Here’s a thought. If we have weaker depth than Liverpool, according to the pundits, how come we are in the semi of the league cup, having fought off Premier League teams along the way? Including two that beat us in the league?

There are 6.5m Jews in Israel actually. 15m globally

YID ARMAYYYYYYYYY!

BTW, the "short skirt/asking for it" analogy is SPOT ON!
That's EXACTLY what this is!
It's missing the point (And allowing the problem to fester on SO many levels!)
The problem is the anti-Semitic Neanderthals who hiss gas chambers at us, and have done for decades!
NOT a group of fans who have decided enough is enough!

Mind you, some can't take the moral high ground on being 'right minded, decent fans' whilst making Party Plans for Sol Campbell's demise!!!

F365 has become everything it used to mock. Clickbait, fluff pieces. Makes Mediawatch redundant when they engage in the same tactics.

When Daniel Storey left I have no reason to look out for their pieces.
 
Just add my two pence worth to Jewish / Yid / Attitude discussion

I think it's important we differentiate that when opposing fans declare to 'hating you fuckin yids' it's in a football fanbase context and isn't anti Semitic.

To adopt it as a fanbase collective title and cry foul when it's used against us with animosity is more than a bit rich

This is completely different of course to references to actual atrocities suffered by the Jewish populace
 
You ever hear the old saying “He who pays the piper picks the tune”
Well Sky and their faithful lieutenants in the media world pay the piper, and they damn well pick the tunes.
But there’s one problem, Spurs don’t dance to that tune.
We used to get applauded from the media back in the days when we finished 5th or 6th under Jol, Redknapp, Boas etc etc, and in turn the media would turn a blind eye to the occasional 4th spot finish from Harry, I say a blind eye, however they did try everything in their power possible to sell all our top players for us during that time, the British media’s coverage of Bale to Madrid was a disgrace to journalism.
Now that we finish top 4 (top 3 actually lol) on a regular basis the media in this country hate us, simply because we are doing this for almost free, we are certainly not reliant on their money to the extent of others, so in a nutshell we are the worst advertisement for their controlling money machine there possibly could be, with the exception of that Leicester City season.
But when it did come down to Leicester and Spurs in the end, they had no shame in tying their colors to the Leicester mast, in fact most in the media were quite publicly open about it, why? because they knew Leicester City would go away as quickly as they appeared. But Spurs on the other hand have stayed strong, and didn’t go away, infact we are still there, mixing it up with the £200m a season membership club, and by god the powers that be can’t stand that, and that makes me so happy...They can not handle the fact that if their money left the game tomorrow, many clubs would die a slow painful death, but Tottenham fcuking Hotspur FC would grow stronger and stronger...
So finally media controlling bitches, we are happy to play every 3 days over Christmas, we don’t even mind playing cup games at Tranmere on a Friday night 3 days after our last league game even with our very small, lacking quality squad (their words not mine) while the super strong “quality laden” squads of other clubs get as much rest as possible, not even after our grueling schedule at your request by the way, we still managed to put on a 7-0 exhibition for the British public, yet you still won’t acknowledge us, no no no, you now drag up the Y word argument yet again and you still try and whore our top players out to cream of European football (it’s so strange that you actually want some of the best players to leave this league).....So media, Sky, BT and the rest, sorry to keep crashing your top 4 club and daring to be in a title race, and sincere apologies for continuing to punch above our weight, and deepest apologies for not needing your money like others do.....so could you please go fuck yourselves with bells on, because this club is going nowhere, get used to it....#COYS

At the bottom of your post you say, with regards to the media, sky and bt etc ".....deepest apologies for not needing your money like the others do...."

Only, we're more than happy to take that money like the others do.

We more than happy to extort the transfer market when selling players like the others do.

We extract higher ticket prices from our fans than all the others do

We pay our chairman / ceo a higher a higher packet than all the others do.

So I'm not quite getting what the moral of your story is, tbh.

We 100% do all of the above that you clearly state....But the moral of the story is we don’t relay on their money like others do, and we do all of the above with a touch of fucking class....not a coincidence Liverpool went from a top 7 team to league leaders after spending excess of 250m of Sky’s money in 2018 alone, they are the product of TV money or Sky’s £2bn investment, they are Sky’s bitches.
Where has our share of that money gone? Who really knows, some on improved contracts for sure, and no doubt some has went into the stadium, at least for the short term..and that kills the media money men to no end, we are using their money to build arguably the best football infrastructure worldwide in the modern game, while still fighting on 4 fronts and still gatcrashing that top 4 party every year......When the Mo Salahs, Vergil Van Dykes and such have long parted Merseyside that piece of real-estate in N17 will still be standing strong as a becon of how to build and not buy #COYS

I see you’ve found another poster you can run away from when you can’t answer him
