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 βfood insecureβ, according to the Trussell Trust. Nationwide problem. Football fans do much-needed work with food-banks. Manchester United fans donated 20kg of food and Β£261 to their food-bank on Sir Matt Busby Way before Mondayβs game v Bournemouth. Food and funds that will help support the hungry in Manchester. Before every game at the Emirates, Arsenal fans donateΒ money and food, household essentials and toiletries at their collection pointΒ 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 βfeed the Scousersβ to reflect on. Hunger doesnβt wear club colours.
Arsenal fans sing βfeed the Scousersβ and Everton put Fans Supporting Foodbanksβ logo on the screen straight away. Quality from Everton. Absolutely embarrassing from the Arsenal fans singing it.
Solidarity with @SFoodbanks. Hunger doesnβt wear club colours πβ€οΈ
@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 wouldβve been screaming corruption and all sorts for the next 5 months!
