Go to the Gilpin - it's a Wetherspoons, then stagger to the ground, picking up a scarf on the way.Have you seen the price of beer in the stadium these days ?

Take him to the game. Tell him if he wants the scarf he can pay for that himself.
I’ll bet he sudddenly doesn’t want it any more.
(P.S treat him to a Nando’s or something nice afterwards).

Fatty you haven't said where he got the idea from
I will admit to owing a few ( England v MALTA),our CL games against Inter, RM, Bayern and Barca, because I went to the away ties.
However, half 'n half scarves with PL clubs are a definite no-no , and he needs to learn that lesson now.
PS - the correct spelling for the plural of scarf is scarves, no apostrophe (sorry, the efficient PA in me can't always ignore such errors).

He's not taking any notice.
He needs to learn about the balance of life.
So get him the half and half scarf and then get him to throw a snooker ball into the away end

I did the same at the Bernabau, got 2 and gave them to my son's on my return, neither wanted the white Spurs butchers hat I came back with though
Who do you think??
...oh, and
Fattynomates
at the next game! 
I absolutely ABHORE the things, and think they are a true sign of the watered down times Football is heading towards...
Like it or not, Football is tribal...
Tribalism isn't always nice, but it's why there's rivalry....
Scarves represent COLOURS...
Colours are TRIBAL!
The only time (in battle) you display the opposition's colours are when you've conquered them and taken them...
...and we're a LONG way off that!
Half and half scarves don't represent FOOTBALL, they represent entitied people going to watch OTHER fans be tribal in order to be entertained themselves...
Maybe they had Half and Half Gladiator scarves in the Colosseum??!
People moan about the lack of atmosphere in today's game, but is that any surprise when half (and half) the crowd are more interested in TELLING people they're at the game to experience the atmosphere, rather than GENERATING the atmosphere itself?
We're already seriously in danger of fans JUST supporting players, REGARDLESS of who they play for (I'm thinking Ronaldo, Messi, M'Bappe levels right now, but it won't be long before fans follow players across clubs, and not the clubs themselves!)
The other danger, is that fans are supporting SPONSORS logos before Clubs now.. .
We're potentially only 2 games away from an Emirates v QATAR Airlines Champions League final...that's the DREAM, right?

I feel your pain... and the bad uncle status you've earned (I converted MY nephew to Spurs .. his Ipswich supporting Dad is livid!!)Maybe get your nephew a Tottenham Men/Women's team half and half scarf... Do they make THOSE??
So he's got himself into a right muddle.He probably doesn't know how to change it.
What, ALL of them?
I'm pretty sure NORTH Koreans aren't allowed to leave their own country!
SOUTH Koreans on the other hand, now have their OWN South Korean Spurs scarves... They don't NEED our poxy half & half scarves..
Day trippers aren't ALWAYS South Korean, in fact, I'd be surprised ANY South Koreans come all this way just for the DAY!
I think the people who pay £17
for a half and half are the type of 'fan' who will also be back next month for Beyonce, and then the NFL, and the F1 Dodgems, and the Bungee Jumping... Basically, they're using us as an amusement park....
Which essentially we WOULD be, if the football was anywhere NEAR entertaining!!!
Some may or may not be South Korean... but plenty won't be!
Just get him a Spurs scarf, walk round to the away end, smack an opposition fan nick their scarf. Sorted, two scarves for the price of one.
That's what we did back in the 70's.

As did the Spurs/Rangers hats, I remember them well...
But the point was you had an English team, and maybe a Scottish team you kept an eye on... (mine was Motherwell for some obscure reason I've long since forgotten!)
Difference is, I don't support TWO English teams, why would I?? When Spurs is all I need in life????!!
I do remember the old saying, I support TWO teams: Spurs, and Spurs reserves...
But that doesn't really apply now... as they're ALL glorified reserves right now!
Quality picture in TBWAH of a chap with a panoply of away scarves.
I didn’t know people felt so strongly about scarves.Who do you think??

He’s not Korean is he?
