I thought you were just hungover Mick.

Is everyone doing a Maxxi this week, or just waiting until someone 'goes first'?

Anyway, here's the fixture list, don't forget the Everton game is this week's Coupon Buster...(s)he who dares


Arsenal v Fulham

Everton v Sunderland

Reading v Norwich

Southampton v Swansea

Stoke v QPR

Wigan v West Brom

Aston Villa v Man Utd


Man City v Tottenham

Newcastle v West Ham

Chelsea v Liverpool

What are peoples thoughts on Peter Herbert and the Society of Black Lawyers deciding to turn attentions to Spurs and the Yid Army chants?


For me, I think this particular case is very different, it's historic, and it was said in defiance at abuse from other fans. I know that not everyone who chants it is Jewish, but it's part of the club's unique identity.


Peter Herbert is quite rightly using recent news stories to highlight certain things and make sure that things are dealt with by the law, but I think he's overreaching here to be honest.

He's got a point I have to say, if people were chanting the N word, would we be equally blas??

Spurs have turned the use of Yids as an insult on its head - is that a bad thing ? I see also Ajax adopted the same approach some years ago.


Surely it is down to the fans of the club what they want to call themselves?


I have no idea who Peter Herbert is ( apart from the ref. above) but he seems to be cropping up a great deal at the minute

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
