Chelsea And Tottenham Hooligans Clash
After an exciting FA Cup match between Chelsea and Tottenham, it was equally exciting on the streets of LondonSeven hooligans ended up in hospital whilst 34 were arrested after the clash between Chelsea and Tottenham fans after the match. The clash happened in front of the White Horse pub in western London, a popular gathering place for Chelsea which they call Sloaney Pony.
The police suspect that the clash was organized before the match by mobile phone or the internet, or more likely that a group of Tottenham fans jumped their rivals in their own yard. In the fight all possible weapons were used, baseball bats, hockey sticks and whatever could be found around the pub. Amongst the injured fans were a 52 year old, a 41 and 40 year old, and a “younger” 31 year old which obviously shows that fans from the English “golden age” of hooliganism participated in the brawl as well.
This is one of the many incidents which happen on the streets of English cities and clearly contradict the stories placed by the media that there is no hooliganism in England. Chelsea’s fans have been named the strongest hooligans in the past, whilst this year many are saying it is the Tottenham fans, which are derogatorily called “yids”.
The police are trying to figure out if this is an organized fight and are questioning a large number of the arrested trying to find out if any famous hooligans participated. The police which arrived at the scene after five minutes continued to monitor the wider area with helicopters for the rest of the day.
