London police have said that more than 30 football fans were arrested after a fight involving knives, hockey sticks and baseball bats broke out between fans of English clubs Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
Thirty-four men were arrested, including five of the seven who were taken to hospital after sustaining head, facial and stab injuries in the violence that erupted following Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final.
Police believe the clash outside a west London pub was pre-arranged and said they had recovered knives, hockey sticks, baseballs bats and wood studded with nails from the scene.
The five men arrested while being treated in hospital were a 52-year old from Kentish Town, a 22-year old from Kentish Town, a 41-year old from Chigwell, a 55-year old from Bermondsey and a 31-year old from Bedfordshire.
PMSL!.. Old boy's arranging punch up's.. and we slate the "kids of today" LOL!
why cant men go to a footie match and be civilised instead of being like big kids!! they so pathetic!
Plenty of drink and anything can happen sadley. One day there will be a match of this size and scope without a raised fist. Though I wouldnt mind the odds to put a new 20 brick note on.

Sounds pre-arranged to me or do you always watch footy with your hockey stick!
10 years ago an Old Firm would have started run and finished like this. Seen a few and done a runner from one which made me glad to see a canal thanks to knowing were I was going.

Difference between hockey - oops ICE hockey - and football is that in hockey all the mayhem is on the ice (I do believe that manslaughter draws a 2 minute penalty) while the fans are relatively peaceful. In football, well, you get the picture.
