Viva_Marc_Libbra 0 Posted December 30, 2011 We are only commenting on his physical appearance- as said before. Same as ripping Crouch for his height, Holt for his weight, Gunn for having no hair. There is no denying he looks like a chimp, it''s either that or giving him stick about being Welsh- which probably would have ended even more racist. He knows he looks like a chimp but on 40k+ a week I really don''t think he cares. However I do agree with some of what has been said about the snakepit- there is an element that sometimes arises which are quite nasty- either racist/homophobic. Because I definitely heard a quiet rendition of ''Your dad washes elephants...'' Which has no place in modern society. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BarclayCanary (Former HDDH) 0 Posted December 30, 2011 Cant believe there is still debate over this, the song was sung and its over with now.It wasnt racist or anything, just a bit of banter.I guess none of you heard what the Gooner fans were singing about Ade when he went back there?Not that was disgusting and too far.

Viva_Marc_Libbra 0 Posted December 30, 2011 Barclay A-Block. Right on the wall- as far as I could tell it was snakepit- but I do apologies if it was Barclay A Block. I just heard what I thought was noise above me, but thinking about it, it could have been behind. It was only 3 or 4 voices, it was very faint. But still, it doesn''t take much for a song to be picked up. Whoever it was Barclay or Snakepit, I was just a bit disillusioned with it because generally I''d say our following has a very clean cut image- (which some will disagree with) but is a very positive thing. I''d rather that then be Leeds or Manchester United.I went to see Bradford- Sheff United JPT and I was with the Bradford fans in the away end, and I was intimidated standing with them- and I was supposed to be a Bradford fan- it was horrible. I''ve never felt that way with Norwich fans, it''s always a good atmosphere. Just disappointed that a handful could spoil a good reputation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viva_Marc_Libbra 0 Posted December 30, 2011 If you''re disagreeing with my anger at the Adebayor chant being sung?! Then you''re condoning racism. I''m sticking by what I said, we have a family club image that some fans despise. I don''t, if you want to take kids- sit in the N&P there will always be swearing etc but racism? That''s completely different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cappsy 0 Posted December 30, 2011 the adebayor song was sung by a few men a few rows behind me. I sit in the front row in line with between the goaline and 6 yard box next to the snakepit. not quite the snakepit but the atmosphere picks up in the block next to it.
