Gypsies are a protected race - using Pikey as a derogative you are opening yourself up to legal issues. From a larger perspective I am sure in the 70's West ham fans were saying the same about Jews for us. History caught up with them on that topic as it will on us with Pikey. It also allows them to claim whataboutery to justify the anti-semitic stuff.

Yeah, they're "protected" and they know it, as they attempt to destroy every community they move into, stealing from businesses, damaging property and they're personal favorite, leaving their rubbish all over the place.

The way you're defending them tells me you've never had to live in a place where they decide to stick their caravans down.

can you show me where I have made any comment on gypsies protecting them or otherwise? My comment was on calling west ham fans Pikeys - unless you are calling me out on standing up for West Ham fans in which case they are a blight on our society.

I apologize for misconstruing your comment then, just as someone who lives in Northern Ireland I get extremely triggered when I see something I think might be defending "travellers" considering they have zero respect for any community they move into.

This in a nutshell. Even the far left hipsters in Brighton can't stand them. Anyone that has had the misfortune of living in the vicinity of one of their sites for more than a day would feel the same.

Either way in the same way they can get in legal trouble for the Jewish stuff we could for the Gypsy stuff so probably best to steer clear.

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.

What I want to know is, if we beat them will we be releasing any commemorative mugs, coins, t-shirts, DVDs and framed pictures? It will be 3 wins in one season after all. Or have I got it the wrong way round? ...hmmmm

Poor old Crystal Palace, they really don't count, do they...?
Or, as I suspect, was that night all just a dreeeeeam?

Fav game of the season. Love the atmosphere. Going to be really interesting to see what happens with the away fans getting moved to the Paxton.

Also intrigued by this. I am definitely going to miss it when Woolwich come to town because I used to LOVE that pinch-point by the old ticket office where the police are ushering them in.
