This is a North London Derby special clip from the On the Edge with Andrew Gold podcast, which you can find on all pod platforms (Spotify, Apple, Google etc). Also, this link: https://podfollow.com/on-the-edge-wit…
On the eve of the big game – Spurs vs Arsenal, AFTV’s Robbie Lyle tells me – a Tottenham fan – about the racist abuse he got from Spurs fans and how the club got in touch to apologise.
Listen to the whole thing on the above link to hear us chat about when I met Sol Campbell and he met Harry Kane.
Henry was a great player I agree, but you don’t suddenly support a football club because of one player do you? Maybe some people do, weird…
I hate Arsenal too. I’m just saying that some of their players over recent years bigging it up seems a bit plastic to me.
Plastic rivalry? Nothing fake or plastic about the yid army verses the gooners mate. Whether on the pitch, or amongst the fans or firms…. We hate arsenal… Players from overseas also understand derbies and rivals, they are in every country and league worldwide… As for Thierry Henry, and I hate to say this, I get his fan boys, he was one hell of a player.. Prime Henry would be the perfect strike partner for Kane, imagine those two linking up.
Nothing racist there my man.. “Bunch of knuckle dragging cavemen” meant any spurs fans who think north london is white, actually has a neanderthal mentality… That video won’t get taken down… Wish I never watched 2mins of it now though.. I do my best never to click on these guys videos it just gives them views and attention… Robbie is ok… But his mug gooner friends are just disrespectful, abusive and dumb. Most interviews are with lads like that. Degenerates.
Their players, particularly over the last 20 years or whatever really like to try and get into this plastic rivalry. Perhaps some of the more recent players, particularly from overseas want to pretend they ‘get it’ or something. That Polish goalie, who now plays in Italy for example, what a plonker…
As for their fans, the ones who go back a bit via family or having roots up the Seven Sisters Road are fine with me. It’s the ones that came in a few years after Wenger arrived and decided to support them when the rugby isn’t on that seem to be the biggest idiots… or those that think the club began when Henry arrived. Henry fan boys, pathetic…
I don’t like Arsenal as they are major rivals and have inflicted pain on me , I won’t watch them unless they are stuffed but I have nothing against their fans. I recognise their history and contribution to the game. What I really dislike is the part some of their players have played in goading and taunting Spurs fans online and on the pitch and in videos. Like any Spurs fan I draw the line at any racist abuse or any other demeaning of people.
I’ve just watch Arsenal TV’s latest broadcast, wanting to watch them suffer lol. The big bearded clown with the guy above, a white guy, lost it in a rant and accused Spurs fans of “dragging their knuckles along the ground”. If that’s not a racist comment to black Spurs fans then I don’t know what is. I made a complaint to youtube as I was so shocked by what he said. It was well beyond banter, and was vitriolic abuse some of which was racist. I hope youtube investigates the channel and removes that episode.
