The ICF

I was on the Holte on all of those occasions I can categoricaly tell you that West Ham, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham have all had a go at the Holte at some point. But as for taking it, come on, please! A few hundred dickheads at best against thousands. Who do they think they are? Spartans from the 300. No they were sent packing with a flea in their ears. I have generally found Chelsea to be the most loathsome of all the cockneys culminating in Wembley way before the FA Cup final where some burberry clad dickhead decided to pick a fight on the guy in the claret and blue jester hat, i.e yours truly. After calling me a Brummy cnut several times and being covered in spittle I promptly floored him with a nice one two combo followed by his mate too.!

I cannot possibly condone hooligan behaviour Rico but this sounds like self-defence and therefore perfectly permissable ;-)

In the days I stood on the Witton they were always a nasty, snidey little bunch. Remember us beating them 2-0 and they only started fighting as everyone was leaving the ground punching innocents and lobbing bottles about. They also smashed up a lot of local shops owned by people from the Asian communities as a warm-up for their NF meetings in Digbeth (but they may remember they didn't get home in one piece that day).

I went to the Copa America in Ecuador many years ago, and suprisingly there were quite a few Brits over there following the tournament. Most were cockneys, and most were ok. But the couple of Chelsea fans were right tossers. Giving the Nazi salute all the time, winding up the argies about the Falklands, and one in particular always thought it was funny to try and provoke a fight with me. Always giving it large, " come on Villa, lets have it!" was his typical style. Typical bully behaviour. He stopped though! After I dragged him out of his seat. And gave him a slap. So for me Chelsea are the most obnoxious of the cockneys. Apologies to the johny come lately Chelsea fans though. The old school Chelsea were a right bunch of dickheads. But no fans I've ever come across are quite as bad a small heath at the sty.  Pure hatred. P.s. Don't condone any violence, but self defence is definitely allowed

I was at the Chelsea game in '84 when we beat them 4-2. They had just come up the previous season and it was about the 4th/5th game of the season. They had a few thousand that day, and towards the end, a few left early and had a go at the right side of the Holte and got ran out, next min they have a go at the left with the same result.. After the game, it seemed as if the whole Holte went looking en masse for them!
