Fulham's decision to increase ticket prices for the Tottenham clash has sparked outrage among fans, who have labeled the move as 'absolutely disgusting' and 'criminal'. In response to the backlash, Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou has come out in defense of the club's international fans, whom critics have pejoratively termed 'plastic fans'. Postecoglou, addressing the accusations of pricing out local fans in favor of foreign supporters, stated, 'I'm probably plastic and touristy because I was coming from the other side of the world really passionate about football', emphasizing that it is wrong to blame tourists for the ticket price rise.

Responded excellently to be fair. But of all the clubs in the world, Spurs do not and CANNOT have plastic fans. Plastic fan of pain? Shame? Nothing? You need a modicum of success for that to even be a problem for you. https://t.co/8d2sNx8SFV
