Before I start, it is important to note that the majority of West Ham Utd and Milwall fans are good, non-violent people. I am only referring to the thugs who seemed to enjoy damaging the reputation of English football last night.
Dear West Ham/Milwall supporters involved in last night’s disgusting scenes,
You are a complete disgrace and you have no place in our football community. You are grown men, and yet you act like children. Not only this, but you tarnish the reputation of your clubs, and English football as a whole – so, thanks for that.
We all love the game, and rivalry is part of that enjoyment. As a Spurs fan I would never aim to hurt, or even insult a Arsenal fan. The reason being, I am an adult. I do not hate others for supporting another team, I respect them as another human being. Your behaviour is idiotic and childish.
I enjoy taking the p*ss out of the Arsenal, but I do so with a smile on my face. Friendly rivalry is encouraged, violence has NO PART in the beautiful game.
We are bidding to host the World Cup in 2018. Would you like to see the world’s best players on display throughout our country? Your actions last night can only harm that bid, and I for one do not appreciate that.
It’s time you grew up and sorted yourselves out. I hope your respective clubs find you, and ban you from football for life – as they have said they will. After all, you cannot be considered real fans anyway. You are simply thugs using football as an excuse for violence.
Yours sincerely,
A football fan who knows how to behave……
P.S. I also extend this letter to any football ‘fan’ who uses threats, and personal insults to fans of other clubs. This includes any of my fellow Spurs’ fans who feel it necessary to write offensive messages to Arsenal fans on forums. Be the bigger man and act with some respect for your fellow England fan.
