Yes their season is falling apart quiet nicely 😁
Re the Y*d army chants, if any other club chanted that word at them the FA and the old bill would come down on them like a ton of bricks... but because spurs are “special” they get away with it. Anyone else surprised they have not been docked points for their stadium fiasco? 🤔

Why would they get points docked ?

And Spurs don’t get fined for the chants because it’s deemed to not be derogatory towards anyone as they “own” the chant and they won’t get fined for it

Nimrod ?

Just saying why Spurs don’t get fined - don’t recall saying I agree with it but that’s why they don’t get fined because they deem its being “historically owned by Spurs” and they aren’t using it in a derogatory manner

Have they ?

“Each club shall register its stadium with the board and must play all matches in the competitions listed in Rule L.9 for which it is the home club at the stadium. No club shall remove to another stadium (either on a permanent or temporary basis) without first obtaining the written consent of the board, in accordance with Rule K.6.”

See......special case, it’s the same with the media and the ob.
And how exactly can a bunch of gentiles “own” the chant yid army?

Has any team been refused to play somewhere else due to issues building a new stadium ? They asked permission and where given it - what’s the problem ?

They will end up playing all their Prem games in one stadium - so why would they get a points reduction ? The Carabau Cup is run by the EFL so cant get a point reduction for that

As a West Ham Fan im sure you’re not posting from a negative bias :rolleyes:

And don’t Spurs have some Jewish History hence where the Chant came from in the first place ( when other fans where aiming derogatory comments at them )

Sorry but they don’t get any other special treatment than any club

We don’t even own our stadium ffs we are allowed to lease a stadium at a reduced rate allowing us to spend more cash on players. I’d say that was special treatment I think we need to count ourselves lucky not have a pop at Spurs

If Jewish bodies object to it and see the term as "derogatory" then that would apply to everyone regardless of colour, creed or religion.
I'm not Jewish or have any abiding love of them, but using that word is no different to describing a person of colour by any of the rascist words that people use regardless of their own colour.
A derogatory word is just that, and there can be no excuse for the colour, creed or religion that person is.
The FA should clamp down on Spurs if their fans don't stop chanting it.

Got a real bee in your bonnet don't ya.

The chant is not viewed as anti Semitic because when we sing it, it's a term of endearment 👍

Tottenham is just up the road from a very Jewish area Stamford Hill so there probably is a bit higher percentage of Jewish people that support them but the majority of the people chanting are not Jewish. They have been repeatedly warned by the FA about it and The World Jewish Congress (WJC), Board of Deputies, Community Security Trust (CST) and the Jewish Leadership Council (JLC) have all called on the club to clamp down on fans using the word to describe themselves in match chants, however the response is an increase in the chant and also the chant “we sing what we want”... surprised you are trying to defend this tbh!
If Chelsea, Arsenal or West Ham chanted the Y word the establishment would condemn us.

And yes I am biased. I’m a football fan for Christ sake! 😁
