The caller should’ve been reprimanded straight away and cut off, the presenters were an embarrassment

There has long been an undercurrent of antisemitism in the criticism of Levy. I'm not saying he hasn't deserved criticism, he has, but I'm talking about the way he is often talked about. It needs to stop.

Perry Grove has always been anti-Tottenham.

The fuck do you think?

Tbf yes but this is a separate issue to what happened. It's not like Arsenal don't have a history of Jewish directors.

Interesting it is a Sky article. Sky continually racially stereotype Levy as the ‘rich Jew’ who won’t spend money.

Yet Abramovich is a rich Jew who does spend money. It's almost like the stereotype is a load of bollocks. Who would have thought it!

Calm down mate, I don't live my life infatuated by people's colour and race unlike some people.

 

[Dougal]

They’ve apologised but secretly they’re seething at being called out. There will be a backlash with some negative coverage coming our way. It may feel like they have an agenda against us. I hope you’re all prepared.


Now, if you’ll excuse me I’m off to find McBain.

Sorry not sure what you're expecting if you ask stupid questions.

You don't have to be 'infatuated with people' s colour and race' to use basic common sense.

How it is basic common sense? Because he runs a club that has historical Jewish links does that mean it's common sense? I'm confused can you explain that to me please?

I understand a lot of people are bred to think about people's race/colour I try to look at the person as an individual maybe that's right maybe that's wrong but that's me but yes explain the basic common sense please
