Noodles34 Posted 20 March, 2023 Share Posted 20 March, 2023 Bit of bother after the Spurs game down Oxford Street. The video looks like handbags to be honest, a lot of posturing and 'stand your ground' (before running off). Didn't look proper nawty to be honest but the OB have nicked a fair few. So, how did it start? Who won? And did VAR get used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkoksaint Posted 20 March, 2023 Share Posted 20 March, 2023 Unfortunately, like pretty much all other clubs, we have a moronic element to our fan base. I’ve witnessed it on a number of occasions away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 20 March, 2023 Share Posted 20 March, 2023 An isolated and largely peaceful incident with a tiny minority of over excited youths just letting off a bit of steam. Nothing to see here. No 85 year old men and pregnant women running for their lives and it most definitely did not resemble a scene from Braveheart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint1977 Posted 20 March, 2023 Share Posted 20 March, 2023 When I’ve seen England fans doing it overseas, I’ve always thought it was knob ends throwing a few chairs ‘for the camera’. The Sun called it a ‘brutal street battle’. The kids they use as hacks these days should have been around in the 1980s and early 1990s. Not glorifying it though as it was a bit hairy as a kid when it kicked off but this is a footnote by comparison to that era. That’s probably Itchen Block 2 closed now. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/23396776.ten-arrested-saints-spurs-fans-clash-southampton-street/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 20 March, 2023 Share Posted 20 March, 2023 (edited) There's some funny moments in the video, I especially liked the waitress who carried on serving people sat outside watching. Bit of a weird place for a fight. It's hardly like Spurs tried anything like storming the Kingsland Tavern. Instead they decided to stomp around the bottom of Oxford Street with their flat caps on, lobbing a few chairs while a bunch of people either waiting for their cruise ship or having a bite to eat after looking around the Uni open day sat there looking bemused.

saintwbu Posted 21 March, 2023 Share Posted 21 March, 2023 The only time I heard the Spurs fans on Saturday was a middle aged bloke shouting ‘come here and say that’ to 3 young teenagers who shouted ‘Arsenal, Arsenal’ when walking through the Spurs fans walking down the road after the game. Then when a police officer went to calm him down he started whining about the kids. Embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miserableoldgit Posted 21 March, 2023 Share Posted 21 March, 2023 It was quite funny where we were in Kingsland Stand. Someone about two rows behind us got annoyed with Che, who was reasonably close to us, and stood up and screamed that he was F..ing Sh1t and to F.... Off! A mature chap in our row then stood up and had a go at him telling to support the team etc. It developed into a real schoolboy playground "F Off! No, you F Off No you F Off" jobby. When Che scored it started again with the guy in our row turning around and giving the other bloke the the old "You couldn't make it up" face......they weren't kids....🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought “shirters” and “Green Street” wannabes were two separate entities? And little different from years past. Back in the 70s there was the “We’re the Barmy Archers Army” types led by Mr Redpath, who’d march down to the station singing their songs before going home, and then there was an entirely different mob further back up the road.
