Levy, the board of directors and club staff: Spurs fans are ‘plebs’
Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at 2:00PM Yes. That’s right. Much like the tabloid press inform you of exclusives and cite ‘club insiders’ as the clandestine source of the information when in fact there is no actual evidence to support the alleged facts and therefore can not be proved or disproved either way, I’m going to do the exact same thing here because regardless of how much (or little) truth or exaggeration exists in the rumour, the fact that it’s made it to the internet means where there is smoke, there's fire. It's the journalistic code that our tabloid newspapers have built their cultured reputations on.
Someone, formally, in the employment of Tottenham Hotspur FC has revealed that a running gag between the Great Bald One and his minions is to refer to the White Hart Lane faithful as ‘plebs’. Now this may appear tame to what the rest of the country calls us, but the rest of the country matters as much to me as Danny Dyer finding himself in a norty situation. It's not my problem. What is my problem is when the people representing Tottenham display a lack of respect for the people who are, in essence 'Tottenham'. The fans. What is my problem is when our esteemed chairman (allegedly) has little respect for the common man who lives and breathes Spurs. I’m certain West Stand ticket holders are not singled out for this blatant social abuse. We all know how la de da they are affording £1000+ seats and leaving home games 10 minutes early to avoid the traffic.
Next time you – the common man – purchase a replica kit, or forks out £14 for a dvd of a score-draw or happen to buy a programme or dine on a pre-match bagel – take into consideration that those extra notes of sterling go towards the overly expensive wine served up in the board room and the Caviar consumed during their lunch hour. Because if it’s not enough that we spend hundreds of pounds on season tickets, loyally following the club home and away…we are considered a soft touch…by the ‘men at the top’. A cash cow supporting their lavish life-styles, unquestionable emptying our pockets for all things Lilywhite.
Now do you see why I do what I do? The handcuffed naked to the turnstile protest outside the West Stand entrance. The frozen shit pellets aimed at Levy’s car. Following Chirpy home and throwing eggs at his front door (and Chirpy, if you’re reading this – 1pm, Saturday, The Corner Pin, I’ll end you). The water balloon attack on the Lodge when we sold Robbie Keane. The water balloon attack on the Lodge when we re-signed Robbie Keane. I do what I do because nobody else will. We – not the suited money men – are the ones that make this club tick. Without us, without our commitment, the club would not exist.
Where is the respect? Where is it?
Well, it's probably marked up in the club shop at £99.99. No discount available.
So are we still plebs? Are we? Well I tell you what, you corporate loving SOB's (yes, you...board of directors and club staff) …you just watch what I’m going to do. I’m going to speak up for the common man in the Park Lane and the Shelf Side. I'll even speak up for the Paxton (someone has to).
Daniel - me and you are going to have this out once and for all. No letters. No correspondence of any kind. Just a good old fashion face to face. And when we do, I’m gonna shake my fist so vigorously in your direction from my seat in the Park Lane that you will squirrel with fear in your directors box. And you’ll know, you’ll know that the common man is a prince not a pleb. And you'll understand our worth as the true shareholders of this great club.
You will need almost 58,000 of us to fill up that brand spanking new stadium where no doubt we’ll have to fork out more money for the privilege of doing so.
Plebs? Nah, we're not plebs. More like mugs.

Plebs? I've been called worse.
Haha, plebs, love it! Do I detect a little old skool Spooky? I think I do.
Shit hitting the fan in...3..2..1....
What complete toss. You got nothing better to do than slander Levy and the club?
No surprise here. I expect most big shot board of directors look down on the common man. The irony of necessity completely lost on them.
Pleb Army! Pleb Army! Pleb Army!
I`m Pleb and i know i am, i`m pleb and i know i am.
I make Levy right. I dont think he was actually referring to all Spurs fans, mainly just to you... You truly are a pleb!
You can see it can't you, board room, discussion about the new ground.
"Right, let's make sure the seats are near the pitch otherwise we won't here the end of it from those forum blog dwelling plebs"
"I make Levy right. I dont think he was actually referring to all Spurs fans, mainly just to you... You truly are a pleb!"
Don't make this personal ! If Spooky thinks it's about him, he'll wager a full on war. I for one don't want to see his hairy naked body handcuffed to a turnstile.
I won't even ask how you know he's hairy.
I smell an other club shop boycott on the cards.
Hazard - LOL
Spooky had beard back when we we bottom of the Prem.
Levy is the saviour of Spurs. You are a pleb !!!
Hey, hold up, not all of us leave 10 minutes early to avoid traffic! I leave at the very minimum with 8 minutes to go.
Slow news day, hey Spooks?
I know the weather has gone a bit grey over the last few days but don't you think you are being a tad over sensitive....even if it is true?
PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER MAN!!!!
FIGHT THE POWER
dont know what your problem is with Levy, he's been fantastic for this club.
Hes poured hundreds of millions into the club, plans and part funds a new stadium, and isnt affraid to make the big decisions when they need making, like sacking Ramos.
The fact of the matter is that you need money men in charge of football clubs.
Would you prefer to have a football man in charge of the club? That didn't exactly work out well for Newcastle did it? Ashley is a football man, and he has destroyed Newcastle pretty much single handedly.
I do like this forum, some of the things on it are funny and have good points, but the hatred of levy is just stupid, and undeserved.
Dearest fans in public, plebs in private.
I say go for it Spooky. Shake that fist vigorously! They need to know we won't take this type of character assassination!
why bother posting this?
James, it's not actually......ah, sod it.
Bald headed little sh*t! Lets piss on his door step... ;)
Can you not find anything to post about today ;)
Spooky. You inane irreverent git. Enough with these teases.
We want a letter to the chairman.
"The water balloon attack on the Lodge when we sold Robbie Keane. The water balloon attack on the Lodge when we re-signed Robbie Keane. I do what I do because nobody else will."
Brilliant and just about sums up my emotions on it.
What is the beef exactly between you and Chirpy?
Whatever you say or think about spooky, his love for the club is undeniable and his sense of humour superb cos whether I agree with you or not you always make me giggle with the way its written, and hey this is a democracy, he's allowed his opinion and he's allowed to air it. Unless he airs his opinion at Fratton Park of course lol.
LOL what a complete load of unsubstantiated bollocks.
I heard from my mate who works at White Hart Lane, that as wellas plebs he calls us gaylords, jism monkeys and wolf nipple chip eaters.
Levy has his faults, as do all Chairman. however he is extremely professional, I think it is highly unlikely he would be little the fans, I think someone is pulling your plonker!
I think that's the point of the article.
Doubt Spooky believes it himself. He's taking the piss out of internet gossip and peoples reactions to it.
Hey, don't be Nipplist!
Plebs? He called us plebs??
Burn your season ticket spooky son.
What are you plebs moaning about now?
Inane toss. Do you think it's any different at OT or Anfield or Scumland? Or for that matter the Nou Camp or San Siro. If you have a problem, why don't you start watching Leyton Orient. You can feast on a pie and Bovril for £1.50 and the seat wont cost you more than £4.95. You'll be able to rub shoulders with the chairman . You wont feel a pleb. You'll feel right at home.

We got it the first time.
Amazing how many people fall for Spookys 'inane toss' every single time.
And to think us Spurs fans are meant to have a good sense of humour.
Get a grip, son. There must be better things to write several paragraphs about than garbage rumours like this. I'm a West Stander who never leaves a minute before time and struggles to pay for two season tickets. I'm more insulted by YOUR verifiable, written comments than I am about Levy's ALLEGED comments!
...
Spooky and the long running West Stand joke. It's a joke.
A joke. Nothing more, nothing less.
You stupid idiot. A damaging article based on pure speculation with the intent of destroying morale. Go support someone else, we don't want clown like you associated with Spurs.
Oh do shut up you numpty. Anybody would think none of you fools have never picked up a fanzine or watched any satire. Not everything that gets posted on the internet has to be a black and white safe article that either has an opinion that sides to the left or to the right or sits on the fence.
Obviously you don't hang around forums and understand the culture of ITK rumours and how ridiculous people are when taking something - that is probably untrue and running with it like its gospel.
Damaging to morale?? Yes, because the millionaire players really really worry about what you think.
Amazing how easy people fall for this every single time.
Keep up the good work Spooks, I like your serious work and the more Spooky Persona stuff. Its a good mix and its what makes this blog great.
This site is just pants. Get a life you pleb ...
God forbid he posts a letter to Levy.
We love you Spooky.
worst web log....EVER
you sir are a cunt. please stop talking about my club.
Some of you lot must be as thick as pig shit not to be able to read between the lines.
