The image of someone being 'outraged' by this is one of the funniest things I've heard in the while. The article is fucking hilarious. I feel sorry for you.

Completely agree, I really liked The Indy and also thought their sister paper, The I was great at targeting young readers. Shame how it all ended up.

Ridiculous to get righteously outraged about that article. It's a bit of fun.

The Independent is a misnomer, it is anything but. However, the article is just a bit of fun - not particularly amusing, I admit. You need to have a Valium sandwich and a lie down in a darkened room.

Like most of this jounalist's writing, the article is complete eccentric weirdness, consistent to his other stuff. It's not meant to be offensive, rather it's just him having fun and hoping to take the readers on a fun ride along with him. It's a thousand times more interesting than the vast majority of boring sports journalism out there that could be written by an fan or so-called pundit
Always find it quite amusing how he is able to write at article stating “each Korean looked identical to Heung Min Son, so they couldn’t tell who the real Son was.”
He can write this because he is Asian, right?
I didn’t find the article particularly funny. I can see what he is attempting to do - basically going overboard on us being ‘Spursy’.
I don’t get offended by this, or anything else. It’s fine with me.
Anyone with a brain would give our club immense credit for our progress in the last decade. It’s certainly just bitterness in some form.
You rarely find articles slating clubs like Leeds, Sunderland or Villa - who have been a total shambles at various times in the same period.

Presumably you missed the following sentence describing how he was in a room with 30 deliberate lookalikes, some better than others?
Congrats on making a racist inference from an explicitly non-racist sentence. Everyone’s a victim.

I got all the way to the final then for some ungodly reason took Trippier's advice instead of Alli's.
Gutted.

The independent is a load of shite anyway, in print or digital. Ignore it. Someone else will soon step up with something similar, we're an easy target as it stands. So there is little point being outraged by this kind of thing as another will be along soon.

It’s like some fans go out of their way to look for something to be offended by. Bloody hell...

The end of option 13 is exactly how I picture things happening should we ever be in that position or us winning the league. Although it happens just before Lloris gets handed the trophy!
