Being as his dad is dead it's pretty certain he doesn't actually wash anything but we do seem to have this history for singing songs about the goons don't we?

I can remember the Charlie Nicholas one, there's the Wenger one, this one, stand up if you hate Arsenal and I bet there's plenty more i've missed

That's why we've a repertoire of pretty shit songs really, we're all too busy standing up to show how much we hate Arsenal.

But surely this passion of dislike towards them is a good thing.

Ok the Adebayor is taking it a bit to far, and I wouldn’t mind seeing it being wiped from the stands, along with that Campbell song (for some reason I thought the hanging from a tree bit was a reference to Stan Collymore who admitted he was going to attempt that during one of his breakdowns). I have heard worse songs in my life but both do have undertones of racism, which is why they should be stopped.

In a perfect society the Adebayor song could be seen as just banter but unfortunately while people associate race to highly it will become more then banter, which is why it should be stopped.

But to stop singing about l’arse altogether would take away something out of our rivalry. It would be like supporting Brighton who have no conceivable rivals. So very dull.

BomberH – you have just said what I wanted to say but you managed to actually put it across in a better manner then my mess of words. Well done

Van Persie, when the girl says no, Molester...

I always assumed it was "Molest her"... it makes more sense (not that it sounds any different when sung :lol

Other than that... good post :beer: :up:

If you're going to insult someone, at least insult them for something they've done rather than something they are (black, jewish, from Africa, gay etc). If people want to insult Sol because he betrayed the club, fine, but slagging people off because they are from Africa or whatever is just crap.

worcestersauce · Mar 18, 2008

So are you saying we shouldn't insult a gay peson for being gay only for what he's done or does? could be ambiguous that!

Ok then, instead of Gay boy gay boy, shall we say, poo pusher poo pusher, poo pusher poo pusher? :shrug: :wink:

racist or not, singing it makes you sound fucking thick.

like really, really, dribble-down-the-front-of-your-shirt, knuckles-scraping-the-floor, look-at-my-spastic-song-that's-not-even-funny-about-a-player-we-basically-wish-played-for-us thick. and you sing it when we're not playing arsenal. how shit do you want to make us look? hi, we're tottenham, we prefer arsenal doing badly to us doing well.

i always like to think spurs have a better class of fan than most clubs, but it's the same spread of morons that grace upton park and stamford bridge every saturday.

:clap:

what about eduardo songs ?

How does all this affect singing about fat bastards? I need to know by tomorrow night. I know he`s not even fat so thats another thing to worry about.

Ha ha. I don't want to hear any songs about players being gay. If people want to slate Sol for being a Judas, fair enough, but I can't see what his sexuality has to do with anything.

It's 2007, for fucks sake. People slag off John Terry for allegedly being racist towards Ledley last season, but then think it's fine to shout homophobic chants. It's not banter, it's just lazy, hateful crap.

The pc brigade (usually Caucasians who dont have any black friends) will just continue to ignore this point.

Utterly brainless.. how does stating that a clearly racist song is racist have anything to do with "PC".. especially in the tone that you imply by using the word brigade ie: its a bunch of over protective , overtly do gooding , bleeding heart liberals

Just because the odd black person sings it doesn't make it non racist, it could simply be that those singing it are too fucking thick to know what they're singing, or because they want to be part of the crowd. Either way the song is racist, the club think it's racist , anyone with half a brain think its racist and you wanking on about your mates not thinking so , black or otherwise, isn't going to change that

Thank you.

Seriously though, you are an idiot for thinking that the song is a racist song. Is the 75 in your user-name a reference to your I.Q?:shrug:

Yet more ground breaking evidence there. I've lost count of the amount of times different people on here have pointed out why this song is clearly racist, mainly in the original thread about it. If you don't think it is that's your choice, but continue singing it and with a spot of luck you'll be chucked out on a life ban from the lane. Maybe you could use the time on Saturday afternoons to read up on what racism is.

I have never and will never sing this song as it is pathetic, and makes whoever sings it look like a ****. But the song isn't a racist one, and it doesn't matter what any one says on here, the song is not racist.

The adebayor song is not racist it's just using a stereotype the same as reffering to liverpool fans as drug dealers & saying that northeners beat their wifes. Not saying that these are not offensive stereotypes but its not racism.
