Great gesture from the club to stick up for their fans in the way they've worded that statement.

They're spot on too, it's all about the intent behind the word. In this case the intent is crystal clear.

I love how the Association of Black Lawyers pretend the notion of black people using the N-word to refer to themselves is unthinkable.

Clearly they haven't listened to any rap for the past 30 years.

It's in no way antisemitism, it's the absolute opposite. The fact they call themselves the Yid Army shows they are not only accepting of their image of having many Jewish fans, but damned proud of it too. What could possibly be wrong with that?

Nail on the head! I wonder if that clown will be going to the police to report members of the music industry?! I somehow doubt it.

This clown Peter Herbert is in danger of undoing a lot of hard work that's been done by various bodies over the last 20/30 years to eradicate racism.

I sense football chants won't exist in 5 years if the do gooders get their way. All this "abuse" crap is going to go overboard to the point that just signing will be deemed to be causing public distress.

Be like rugbty maybe?

There have been all sorts of abusive songs over the years (this isn't one ofcourse)...are those lawyers going to complain about every club?

I contacted him to ask why he had highlighted and made such a big deal of the Clattenberg incident yet had not really got involved in the Chelsea monkey fan or the ballboy Lee Croft incident. The silence of his response has been deafening.

If the ones that I know are any indication, Jews are the most inwardly racist people I've ever met. I'm always avoiding making any offensive statements only for one of em to crack out a holocaust joke. This obviously doesn't mean it's ok for me to do the same, but if they love making fun of their traditions and their historic 'misfortunes' more power to em. Why should this one guy ruin it for them?

Re rappers it's not their use of the n word that annoys me (see above logic), it's the narcissism, misogyny, and the promotion of guns and violence that tends to make up the lyrics that gets me. I still listen to rap (MF Doom, J-5, Luda...) but I remove all the songs that match the previous descriptions whenever shuffle brings them on. Needless to say my rap library has vastly diminished.

If we started chanting 'Paki's Paki's' through pride at our high Asian population at games it wouldn't be acceptable. Don't see the difference between the two.

It's very different to that though isn't it?

I'm pretty sure we did throw back a bit of P*kis nonsense to a set of fans a few years ago though, might have been Leeds. We went 1-0 up and started singing '1-0 to the Pakistan,' shutting them right up in the process.

Kind of a good point. I think the difference is the time it's taken to reappropriate it and the word in this case though. There's a real split between Jewish people about the offensiveness of the term Yid. Some older people still find it deeply offensive because of the past memories tied to it as an insult, whereas some younger people think less of it (possibly due to the reclaiming it in this way). It's a tough one, it's kind of a shame to sanitise that part of a clubs culture completely, like Ajax did with their Jewish connections.

The exact sentiment of every single one of my spurs supporting mates. We live in a weird ****ing country.

Exactly this.

Spurs fans chanting about themselves has got absolutely NOTHING to do with any of the reports/cases of racist behaviour in recent months. Absolutely fuck all.

I'm sure in his head he thinks that banning this chant is one tick towards completing his Anti-Racism Checklist, but in reality all it'll do is piss Spurs fans off, give ammunition to those who think that every anti-racism measure is "PC gone mad" and alienate the people who'd like to support his overall cause. I, for one, am all for doing everything possible to eradicate racism from football, but I can't help but think that he's just being a fucking moron.

I heard to the tune of 'she'll be coming round the mountain' last Saturday....

"I'd rather be a Saville than a Saint"

Which was uncomfortable in non segregated areas lol
