Don’t want them getting anything. Not even a goal. They’ll be so up for this one though. Hope they don’t sit deep and it’ll give Son and Lucas more space

Ha I assumed it from the context. Although he could have been spelling picky incorrectly.
My friend's mother grew up as an Irish Traveller. I said it in passing once and he nearly gave me a smack. He said they really hate it."Pikey" always used to be an insult for Arsen*l, who crossed the river from Plumstead Common in their their brightly-painted tinkerwagons to flog their lucky heather and bake hedgehogs near Finsbury Park.
People who use it to refer to West Ham are Johnny-come-lately plastic new fan cunts
I am not telling people what they can or cannot say. It is however pretty rich to spend pages talking about racism while referring to the other team as a 'pikey'.
They particularly hate it because its what some Romany s call them(Irish Travellers).
I think I'll add some fuel to the 'is the word racist' fire.
Definition from Urban Dictionary:
Pikey (or Pikie)
From the English "turnpike", the place where itinerent travellers and thieves would camp near a settlement.
Pikey is not a racial group, the term is used to describe anyone who lives in a caravan or shares the same values and "culture" of "the travelling community", and whose main sources of income are as follows:
Stealing cars,
Flogging heather and roses in pubs for "childrens' charities",
Nicking lead off roofs,
Burgling garden sheds,
Blagging entry to old peoples houses to rob them,
Doing dodgy tarmac jobs ("we've got some Black stuff left over from a job up the road"), sometimes with mint imperials used as a substitute for white chippings,
Using snow to lay slabs on when the sand ran out,
Stealing your bollocks if they weren't in a bag and anything else that's not nailed down and anything that is nailed down but will fit in the back of an untaxed Transit when nobody's looking.
Characterised by lurchers on a string, a unintelligible language that "isn't English, it isn't Irish, it's just Pikey" (source: Film: Snatch), a penchant for
harecoursing
ketamine,
lighter fuel,
fighting in pubs
shopping at Lidl.
Best avoided.
I thought it was serious until about half way down!

I heard it was because they were always using turnpikes(tollgates) as they were always on the road.The old version is Turnpike Pirate, i believe
If they get a goal we'll never hear the end of it. Even if we win 5-1. They'll say "We won the World Cup...first team to score at the new White Hart Lane...Ronnie Kray's my uncle...all our season ticket holders were born within earshot of Bow Bells..." etc etc.
They where never going to show tommorrow.. even after 30 years undeafeated
..to many gents on our side will be on show. Will have a wave at the old boys bg,the birdman and alike as they pass by.
Chavel no? "Venga Chavel, porque te haces tantos tontarias? "
It's been around in English since the mid 1800s though some people believe that it stands for "Council Housed And Violent".
It appears that this is a "backronym".
Strongest team, has to be.
Nerves kicking in. Contrary to most on here,this game means loads to me.
SINGING TOMORROW
Please please please to all my fellow Spurs fans who are at the ground tomorrow can you sing your hearts out and drown out that woeful bubble song (it's gotta be the worst football song ever) and I would love to have a rendition of CHIM,CHIMANEY to shut those pikey cunts up COYS

yes but replace 'bastards' with 'wankers' then they can't chant it back. Mind you.....................
Poch is taking no risks, Serge Aurier (hamstring), Erik Lamela (hamstring), Moussa Sissoko (groin) and Harry Winks (groin) – continuing on-field rehabilitation and remain unavailable. Harry Kane (ankle) – undergoing rehabilitation.
Well this has made me more confident, knowing the Spammers may be playing with 10 men:

Fucking typical that that wheelchair bound cunt returns for us. Hope he breaks both his legs in the warm up.
