Chelsea getting lamped in their own backyard LOL

Worst I saw was in the 90's v Boro....was pretty much little groups all the way from the ground up to Seven Sisters. Horrible atmosphere.

Most old bill Ive seen a WHL was v Birmingham about ten years ago. I swear there must have been 10 meat wagons lined up with dogs and everything. Never saw any fighting tho

Most coppers i've ever seen was when we played West Ham at home and Mido scored just as the second half kicked off. I was having a slash at the time. I was fuming i missed it tbh.
Outside the atmosphere was horrid never witnessed the atmosphere as tense as that day. Wall to wall coppers and west ham wankers trying to get at us. I was still in my teens. I was a little bit worried :levyeyes:
 
On a personal note, the most tense an atmosphere I've been in at Spurs was the Pompey game a few years back...the one the media built up as it had Campbell returning to the lane and redknapp facing Portsmouth. There was some needle in the air that day.
Also been in the old ninian park to see a Cardiff game...was sat in the nutters end and there were lots of Soul Crew chants. That was pretty intimidating

Was that the game we drew 0-0 in the cup? Cardiff that is.
My mate drove us there. Shit game, shit weather and shit fans. Old men making cut throat gestures at us. People lobbing stones at us across the old car park on the way out. I was so hungover that day i just wanted to go home and get into bed with a bucket of KFC
 
Against West Ham few seasons back when Kane grabbed a late equaliser, some Hammers fan broke the police line on the way out and probably wish he didn't because he got kicked in before the police intervened. Wasn't he nicest atmosphere on the way out, bumped into a guy from school who was a fellow Spurs fan although he is a bit nuts and loves a fight, just watched him trying to find a fight at the end of the match when it was all kicking off.

Odd game.

No it was Cardiff vs Bristol City! Wasn't nice at all
 
Cardiff vs spurs in the league or FA cup a few years back. The atmosphere was nuts their seemed to be running battles all over the place.

Firm violence around grounds seldom happens nowadays. It tends to be well away from grounds so the police aren't able to get near it easily.

You are more likely to see groups of this kind nowadays. 18 year olds that come unstuck when an older head who has seen it all before lamps em one. :dembelelol:

Never mess with the YLF

Begbie is one of them

The 'Radge'!!
 
Anybody here remember when the inter city firm stormed the southern end of the shelf?
I was a youngster at the Paxton end so I was well away from it, but it was a big scrap that's for sure.
 
Hooliganism in the UK has moved on knowadays from its 70/80s peak . Still there is posturing , bravado
but has developed into a loutish , yobbish culture of the mainstream . The English fans behaviour in France was a perfect example . Heavy drinking , safety comradeship in numbers and aggression thankfully with little bite . More unpleasant than dangerous .
A sea of overweight , ageing , bald , overweight dickheads is the legacy of once England being top of the pack . In 5 mins they were obliterated by a handful of Russian nuters . They were far younger , pumped up , determined and very organised . This is the new order and has taken this once English disease to another level .

Really absurd.

Shows how much of a peacocking competition it is. Almost more dancing than violence.

Indeed. Just odd because it's crystal clear police video footage. I understand some got jail terms from it. Maybe they didn't know/care.

Let's face it any hint of trouble today and you'd instantly have 20 teenagers or mongs holding their mobile phones up to capture the moment of everyone else holding up their mobile phones.
 
In England, maybe the occasional tosser getting a smack on the mouth. The only real firm fighting I saw was in Germany and Poland.
When I lived in Bremen, Hamburg came to play and despite there being insane amount of very armed police it kicked off quite badly on the riverbank (I think some Hamburg fan died later when he was chased to the rails...)
 
Cardiff in the league cup in the 2004( I think) was lively,to say the least. High rd busy from about 2 o'clock onwards.
Chelsea in the FA Cup ,maybe in the same year. It was like a war zone after the game. Too many to mention in the 70s,it was almost a weekly occurance,even though I was only a kid still saw loads Ray Clemence testimonial,in 1990. It was a Friday night. I was in the Milford when west ham attacked it. Only about 15 in there. To be fair to them,I honestly believe they only attacked coz a few blokes gobbed off. I think they knew it was empty and would of walked past. They took liberties that night.
Sunderland or Middlesboro on the high rd,out side Greggs. Loved it... Was at the back of the queue in Greggs,but after it kicked off everyone piled outside and I was at the front,result!5 Sausage rolls for £2 I think it was then. I also remember scousers getting gobby at the junction of Worcester ave and park lane late 80s and regretting it.
Character building,I think they call it.
