Ostrich meat is pretty tasty and very low fat.

When it comes to the combination of great taste and healthiness, ostrich is truly one of the most superior meats in existence. It may be unusual for some to think about the planet's largest bird in this manner, but the taste of ostrich is incredibly similar to prime beef.

Ostrich, a red meat, is even lower in calories, cholesterol and fat than skinless chicken and turkey, while remaining high in iron and protein. It has an ideal balance of nutrients and is also the leading recommended source of protein from a wide variety of health organizations, including the American Heart Association, American Cancer Association and American Diabetic Association.

What's more, due to the ostrich's ideal pH balance, the meat does not attract harmful bacteria like E.coli or salmonella, unlike chicken and other meats.

This combination of great taste and nutrition, and its incredible ease and versatility in cooking, is why ostrich has so rapidly found its way onto the menu of many of the nation's finest restaurants.

Ostrich Nutrition Comparison


Serving (3 oz.) Calories, Protein (g) Fat (g) Cholesterol (mg)
Ostrich 97 22 2 58
Chicken (skinless) 140 27 3 73
Turkey (skinless) 135 25 3 59
Beef (lean, steak) 240 23 15 77
Pork (lean, loin) 275 24 19 84

"Oooooh, look at me, I'm the real fan, I know the regulaaars."

Didn't you start this thread going on about uber fan snobbery?

Yeah, got to agree with the others now. Either very grumpy old man or trollster. So.....

Judging from that pitch, I'm guessing you must be a lobbyist for an Ostrich Farmer's association.

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for three points every game, I can tell you we don't have a preferred starting XI or used to the high line yet. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career of supporting Spurs. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you, I support Spurs no matter what in a world full of Uniteds, Citys and Rovers, there is only one Hotspur. If you let my Spurs play how they play and let it go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will BOO YOU!!!!

I've not got the time read the whole thread but I would say that this team has hardly deserved a murmur of discontent this season, let alone full blown booing.

If you were there when Nethercott, Calderwood, Edinburgh and Austin were our defence and you saw Vinny Samways operate just in front of that defence with Kevin Scott able to replace one the defenders, and feel this team is deserving of the same abuse they took, then you are beyond delusional and probably not a very happy person. Both these things are fine, I suppose but booing at half time in only the third game of the season when not losing is pathetic and telling other people to essentially fuck off is curious...

I think this fella is either a child or just monumentally unhappy.

Bingo, the fact we have so much of a better team than in say FREUND's days makes it almost worse. When you see a team with supposedly so much ability not being able to string a few passes together or be out hussled by QPR then something is wrong.

I never actually said I boo but I support peoples right to boo if they want or sing if they want...I couldnt care either way to be honest.

What I have the hump with is those on here who keep banging on about how bad we are. The uber fans....Who even are they this 1882 lot?

I know pretty much all those who are at every game. Rosie and his stinky little mate who caries his pack lunch everywhere, Fat Darren Alexander and his gay chum and that guy who never smiles; the haverford lot....all of a sudden a load of geezers no oness ever heard of start telling us how sh!t we are? Im calling you out.

I dont know who any of these people are.
 
It's obvious for all to see, that the atmosphere at the Lane is awful. People that boo damage the atmosphere further.

If you don't like the 1882 movement don't attend. The articles on the front page are written by anyone who wants to submit them.

Actually, Carlito Brigande, if you want to pen something on why booing should be accepted we'd publish it... You're right about a lot of things anyway, the state of modern football lends to bad atmosphere, the gap between player wages and that of the fan, the sky sports ideology of win now now now now! It's inevitable that this would have an affect on the fans. All we're trying to do is something about it. We remove lots of the problems by going to the youth games.

There's no conspiracy, it's just how this group of fans feel about the state of the support.
 
"Rosie and his stinky little mate who caries his pack lunch everywhere, Fat Darren Alexander and his gay chum and that guy who never smiles; the haverford lot."

The more I see these names the more I think they should make a Podcast and possibly a fly on the wall documentary to go with it.
I can almost hear that Big Brother Geordie narrating it.

"Fat Darren is on his way to the Lane.........."
