Some of those Arse fans getting deranged. Many have come to accept City's money if sites like Onlinegooner is anything to go by.
The last to accept it appear to be Tottenham fans. At the risk if painting them all the same, they were practically alone in not finding the derby entertaining. So many have adopted Manure as their second club. Don't know if that is normal for them because rags aren't a London club or because they're our rival. Even Arse fans have the sense to support us over them.
The one exception is EliteKiller. Proper fan, knowledgeable too. Shame he isn't on Bluemoon, he's top quality. Pinter isn't bad at all, neither is THFC. Let's not single out Jews on here, makes me feel bad after getting upset at racism elsewhere.

Re: Re: Spurs fans...
Our owners are usually described as Arabs. That's not a religion, it's mainly a regional description like Europeans or South Americans. Jews are people who follow the Jewish religion, regardless of nationality and there are actually quite a lot of Arab Jews (and Israeli Arabs, split between Jews, Christians & Muslims). Arabs were around long before Islam.
I certainly agree that there's a great deal of xenophobia (which is hatred of foreigners) that borders on the racist when people talk about "our owners" (when they mean Sheikh Mansour). A lot of references to "City's Arab owners" are just code for anti-Muslim sentiments. The two worst offenders I've heard in that respect are Dave Whelan and the Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood. Their voices drip with barely-disguised contempt when they talk about Sheikh Mansour.
But my point was why, when you're complaining about racism, is it OK to make anti-Jewish remarks?
Well if that's what he and you are trying to say then you're both morons frankly. But his comments were blatantly racist in my view whereas yours are just completely idiotic.supa-dapa-dan said:I think what mike channons trying to say,i agree with him by the way,is that everytime our owner is mentioned be that in the media or on forums his religion is always mentioned.

It's not that big though is it? And a sign of the times. Nobody stays in one area of London any more. It's down to quarters, north/east/south/west, or maybe eighths if you live in BrixtonThe cookie monster said:Was on the radio before that there are only 200 spurs season card holders from the borough of tottenham...........OH DEAR!

You're a fine one to be handing out warnings!THFC6061 said:mike channon´s windmill said:Of course there are no dodgy Jewish financiers, bankers , investors , entrepreneurs ...
Just saying like...
Well yes.
There are also dodgy Muslim financiers, bankers , investors , entrepreneurs ...
Just as there are dodgy Christian financiers, bankers , investors , entrepreneurs ...
Just saying like...
On balance, it's probably better to leave religion out of a football discussion, wouldn't you agree, mike channon´s windmill?
You made an offensive slur against our owner that should have resulted in a permanent ban instead of two weeks rest for us

Pot, kettle, and black of him for sure. Having said that, there's no great love for Spurs on here so it can't be easy refraining from having a pop back every now and then. I don't mind THFC6061 most of the time.
