......on Spurs' shirts.

As far as I can see from my stream.

Assume it's not compulsory.

Disgusting from Spurs. Why do they hate our fallen heroes so much?

They're home game next week is nearer to remembrance Sunday than yesterday. Let's wait to see what they do then before making wild accusations eh?

As we are at home this weekend I’m surprised that we had the poppies on our shirts last Saturday tbh.

I’m assuming we will also have them on for this Saturdays game

Based on how ridiculous it would be if someone, who i don't believe has a history of ridiculousness, actually believed that.

I was surprised we had them on at Bramall Lane because this Saturday is our designated game. I'm not sure why the leagues feel the need to do it over two weekends to be honest, it doesn't matter whether a team is home or away. But this insistence that all players wear them is very, very wrong. It's a choice that everyone has whether or not to wear a poppy.

Don't the club auction the shirts off? Maybe they are trying to help raise more money by having twice as many to option - and home and away choice.

It's just as ridiculous to post that if you don't believe it, very strange behaviour either way

Not if he's mocking those who might have those kinds of feelings.

I might be wrong and you might be right, but he's not someone i'd expect that kind of post from which makes me think he's mocking the kinds of people who might have made that post.

He's just having a bit of fun. Stop being so gru... oh.

He is posting tongue in cheek.

Unless you are being extra ironic. :lol:

As far as I'm aware, the red represents the blood of those who gave their lives, the black represents the mourning of those who didn't have their loved ones return home, and the green leaf represents the grass and crops growing and future prosperity.

I don’t think anyone seriously criticised Spurs though did they. Which is probably why they’ve been quiet.

Nothing was tongue in cheek from what I read, but backtracking is a great thing when you're caught out

Ok bud, you got me. I genuinely thought that Spurs hated soldiers who have lost their lives fighting for this country.

Why you would think that is beyond me, but people do like to think they are controversial
