Racist remarks now at Rudiger apparantly - Spurs fans gone full Neanderthal.

Just when you thought spurs couldn’t get any lower!

I can see a pattern there. Most of the commentators I know are working for decades. The sad thing is, there's little to no quality control at tv and they seem to put up with so called household names like Tyler or Champion for ages simply because most of the fans are so used to them, instead of making some periodic assesments and giving a chance to some new voices, possibly more professional ones. 

 

What grates my nerves the most is the big club bias most of the English commentators seem to have (not all, to be fair!). It's something unprecedented for me because in Poland and most of the Eastern Europe people in general (and that includes the commentators and pundits across all media) tend to cheer for the underdog and are more restrained in praise for the obvious favourite/big club. So during the same game you can hear the Polish commentators giving Leicester heaps of praise for standing up to the big club and players showing the character, while on the English stream they barely get a mention, and it's all about how beautiful the football ManCity/ Spuds/ Chelski are playing is. Maybe that's a cultural thing or something, I have no idea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's an old boys' network which allows mediocrity to persist. Not only in football.

Pretty good day for us, limiting the damage from yesterday.

Stevie Wonder would have seen more of what’s gone on in this game than Anthony Taylor

The Bottling Plant in full production mode now.

Spuds getting mashed by Chelsea, Jose will be boiling, and will surely give them a roasting.

I’ve never had that thought

Love a Spurs implosion. It's like watching an episode of Jerry Springer

Quite. That’s why players overreact to the slightest touch.  They know it’s advantageous to do so.

Advantageous ...   I still call it cheating.

Racist remarks made......thought that only happened in backwards countries

Martin Tyler on racism "we haven't got the solutions". We have Martin, we don't have the authorities willing to do anything about it

The weekend got a little better this afternoon

Racist abuse if a decent sized group should lead to stand closures

So do I. I hate it but that’s why they do it. Cheats prosper in modern football. Sad but true.

How many black players are in the Tottenham team as well? No doubt shouting racist abuse at one black player and cheering on another which just shows how ridiculous the whole concept of racism really is.

 

Depressing stuff.

Can’t we just get rid of spurs as a club completely?

Stadium ban for three games would be fitting. That and an immediate stop to the current game and it forfeited by the offending team. (Only if it’s a sizeable group though of course)

What a mardy, petulant, spoilt bunch of grown men. Quite disgusting.

Spurs always manage to make my blood boil. Their fans and players are just utter cvnts. Enjoy continuing to win feck all.

Then who would provide comedy gold every season?
