Can we finally end the poverty chanting please? Every fucking year it happens around Christmas, a time when supporters of EVERY club are battling against the tide who rely on food banks, family support with many children going without.
You may think it's hilarious because it was a shit chant in the 80's after Thatcher destroyed the social fabric of society once, but 40 years on everyone reading this will more than likely know someone where food and economic poverty are real things that cause misery.
If you hear it, call it out, it never was funny and even less so today.
14.1m people in the UK are “food insecure”, according to the Trussell Trust. Nationwide problem. Football fans do much-needed work with food-banks. Manchester United fans donated 20kg of food and £261 to their food-bank on Sir Matt Busby Way before Monday’s game v Bournemouth. Food and funds that will help support the hungry in Manchester. Before every game at the Emirates, Arsenal fans donate money and food, household essentials and toiletries at their collection point by the Tony Adams statue. Hugely important contribution to the Islington food-bank which helps so many people locally. Something for United and Arsenal fans singing “feed the Scousers” to reflect on. Hunger doesn’t wear club colours.
Arsenal fans sing “feed the Scousers” and Everton put Fans Supporting Foodbanks’ logo on the screen straight away. Quality from Everton. Absolutely embarrassing from the Arsenal fans singing it.
Solidarity with @SFoodbanks. Hunger doesn’t wear club colours 💙❤️
@ArsenalVPodcast@YankeeGunner @PoznanInMyPants @clivepafc@Stillmanator Lucky Arsenal win that Saliba non penalty is outrageous if that had been the other way round Arteta & Arsenal fans would’ve been screaming corruption and all sorts for the next 5 months!
