He could have joined United and probably won more and we wouldn’t have gave a fuck other than losing a transfer fee.Those of us who remember Campbell's career at Spurs will never forgive him for what he did to us.
He kicked us while we were down.
What many forget is how utterly shit Campbell was at the start of his career.
He was one of the worst young centre forwards I have ever seen representing the club. He was truly hopeless.
He was a tall, strong athlete with very little footballing ability. Terrible first touch.
Spurs persevered with him, after his initial masquerade as a centre forward, and gave the prick a chance by integrating him into the team as a left back.
Gary Mabbutt babysat him and talked him through each game; step by step.
Campbell eventually began to fill in all across the back line under Mabbutt's guidance.
Campbell did not become a great player overnight. It took several seasons.
He replaced Mabbutt as club captain. He held that role at the time he walked across the NLD divide.
Sol Campbell understood the gravity of what he did.
He needs to own it.
I agree with everything you've said about the chant - it's pathetic - but I reserve the right to carry on enjoying (and commenting on) the buffoon's utter stupidity.Right then, this ain't gonna go down well, I realise, so disagree all you want...
But after today, hearing pre-pubescent boys singing "Jelly and Ice Cream, when Sol Campbell dies" made me sad today...
a) 'cos they probably weren't alive when he did what he did...
and b) it was over TWENTY YEARS AGO.... we sound like bitter, small minded cunts now....
He did what he did, and I hate him.
BUT..... he's DEAD to me....
don't get me wrong, I despise him, and his warped, self obsessed weird little crazy mind.... but he has no influence on my life now, 'cos he managed to ruin it 20+ years ago, and I won't let his smug, sociopath, warped little confused scum cunt face continue to haunt me now....
We need to drop it.... He should be dead to us.... HE IS DEAD TO US!
Singing Sol Campbell Songs for so much of the game today, made us look like shall minded, jilted ex's who just can't let go...
We're the weird one that turns up at an exes funeral, eating Jelly and Ice Cream... It's just not right....
Disagree all you want, I'm sticking to this.
I won't mention his name (same as I won't utter the name of the club he defected to... 'cos neither are worthy of my breath!
There, I said it.
Save your Jelly and Ice cream for a GENUINE occasion worth celebrating!
Getting a bit posh with your typos, aren't you?Time to ĺlet go

I understand that it was United's interest in Campbell, and an offer to Spurs from United that was rejected by the club, without consulting Campbell, which created Campbell's initial resentment and led to him running his contract down.He could have joined United and probably won more and we wouldn’t have gave a fuck other than losing a transfer fee.
He is, was and always will be a cunt.
What?Do you think the red poppy, or the WW2 jets flying at ceremonies need to stop?
