The Spoiler

Isn’t the lack of Wi-Fi inside Stamford Bridge irritating?


Can Chelsea fans get any more middle class?

Where’s me wi-fi

We all love a stereotype when it comes to football fans - The Kop love a minute’s silence, West Ham’s support are particularly fickle and the Arsenal faithful all bring their imacs to matches. Yet it doesn’t help to dissolve these unfair generalisations, when supporters play up to them, as friend former friend of thespoiler Tim Lovejoy, did last night.

Disappointed that he was unable to fully use his iphone at the Bridge during the Atletico match, Lovejoy went outside the ground to tweet:

iphone internet stuff doesn’t work at the home of football. How annoying is that?

Post-match, he further commented:

You would have thought Roman would have put free wi fi at the Home of football for all us Kings Road ponces to tweet when we’re winning!

Crap toilets? Awful food? Overpriced tickets? No, the real issue bothering football supporters is a dearth of wi-fi. It’s good to know the BBC hire football phone-in hosts so in touch with the average fan.

Andrei Arshavin doesn’t want to email Nicklas Bendtner


Well, would you?

Thanks to his upbringing in the oasis of enlightenment known as Russia, Andrei Arshavin is a very traditional man. The Arsenal forward likes his women smoke free and without driving licences, his hair untouched by nasty foreign barbers and his mobile phone basic and incapable of sending email. If you can’t decipher the video above, here’s what Arshavin says:

Arshavin: Everybody has Blackberry in England, except me, Pavlyuchenko. What reason to have Blackberry now?

Inteviewer: …to send email.

Arshavin: Yes, but who? Just Bendtner! [Laughs] “How are you?”

While we strongly encourage needless digs at Nicklas Bendtner, we fail to understand Arshavin’s bizarre logic. As Dirty Tackle correctly point out, the reason to have a Blackberry is because everyone else has one!

Perhaps the Russian would be better suited to an iPhone - that way he could listen to his favourite karaoke tunes on the move.
