He just ghosts around in the empty spaces, hoping the ball doesn't come to his way, which is why you don't see him.I swear I haven't seen Dele once since he came on.
I thought we did well to prevent Wet Spam from slinging loads of crosses in from the wings, which has been an important part of their game for a few years now. In my opinion, Conte's tactics were spot on.Winning 2-1 against a very decent West Ham team in a quarter final but we go a little defensive to hold on and the melts are all crying, in between 500 posts about Kane not being Usain Bolt.
So fucking boring.
It's not even Christmas, and the Spam fans are giving it the big one. Once Antonio does a hammy, and their predictable tactics are counteracted, they'll be mid-table, as per usual.It’s not even mid table mediocrity. The dildo peddlers are usually fighting relegation or fucking off back to the Championship.
For the life of me I genuinely cannot fathom how these cunts think they’re a big team.
Someone recently told me they have a rivalry with LiverpoolSaw west ham fans as they normally do antagonising us and people on train. They must be exhausted always feeling inferior to us and behaving like that. Getting a bit embarrassing being better than them all the time.

Saved!For the next time you see a West ham fan mention our trophy drought.
I think the twat in front of me found it. Luckily I could move along a couple of seats to see the rest of the penalty area.No, it's gone, just have to buy a new one
Originally from North India so I’ve been toldI have read in the past that the term Gypsy has origins in Egypt where the travellers were thought to have come from?
True but definitely homophobic abuse was.
Same here.... At the time the song was sung (early 2000's) the speculation about his sexuality was rife...I think the majority of Spurs fans did that. He'll always be a vile piece of shit.
I still think the HIV line was about him being gay. It hasn't aged well at all, but the point was to hurt the Judas fuck.
Even now it still makes my blood boil.Same here.... At the time the song was sung (early 2000's) the speculation about his sexuality was rife...
He seemed to be the eternal batcholer (bit like Cliff Richard, but without the hit records!)
Though when you look back on it, he was probably just such a self obsessed insufferable bore, no WONDER he couldn't hold down a relationship!
The HIV line was SO clearly aimed at that speculation, I dunno why people still defend it.
It was, and still is in truth a vile song, but the pain and hurt he caused thousands of Spurs fans at the time, by doing what he did, and the timing of it, is still unforgivable.... I can see why fans sought to think up as vile an image as they could to express their disgust.
As the now famous banner line goes; "We HATE you because we LOVED you!"
Never a truer word spoken on a painted bedsheet!
The exiled 'Rom' caste.Originally from North India so I’ve been told
That is correct. They are Romanies, the term gypsy came about when they migrated to Europe, where they were thought to be Egyptian because of their dark skin.Originally from North India so I’ve been told
He truly lives rent free in your head doesn't he?As predicted, Airfixx has started nice and early to dampen Jan expectations.
Make that ENIC Christmas bonus work!

A day is never wasted when you learn something new hey?
Since when did the 'P' word mean 'Pikey'... I think the 'P' word has a much worse meaning than that! (ask you Asian friends!!!)For me, the P word is reserved for the ones who chose to be nasty fuckers. It's not about class or race, they're just vicious. The rest are just travellers or gypsies or, as I like to teach my daughter "people"
