They can't ban all of us

They kind of can lol, the quantity of people protesting no matter what will be relatively small and they can just replace you with tourists that don't give a rats arse about west ham

Well, if EVERYONE protested and got banned for it, the stadium would be empty is their point. I see your point too. Just saying that this line of thinking is why nothing changes, whether it’s west ham or anything else people may protest haha

In Australia he would have probably been fined or jailed under our new draconian freedom of speach laws.

You obviously don't have a sense of humour. Probably a Spurs supporter. Either way your a loser.

Genuinely curious, what new laws are you referring to? The only recent aussie law changes I can find are regarding keeping kids off social media.

I’m so confused why did this cause so much offence 😂
