It nearly kicked off in the South, after the daft bint behind me repeatedly put her pointytoed boots on the back of my seat. When she wasn't leaving dirt marks on the back of my sweatshirt, she was kicking my seat. Ignorant arse.

Hugo Boss Didn't see this but I did witness some irate Reading fans having a go at fellow supporters in the concourse during the 2nd half, apparently for being drunk and enjoying themselves.

What is the world coming to when supported have a go at their own?? :roll:


Remember I bumped into you and Scrooge after the game and showed you that Asian spurs fan lying on the grass bank with puke everywhere? or were you too pissed to remember!?!


I was too p*ssed to remember before m8 although now it's been mentioned I do vaguely recollect something!! :lol:

Huntley & Palmer I can guarantee it was not the two yids throwing their guts up on the bank next to the programme sellers on the way up towards the North Stand. They were still lay there in their own puke after the game. LOLightweights

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that "yid" was a racist term or at least derogatory term for Jewish. You're a moderator for fussake?

That's what spurs fans called themselves, i.e. The Yid Army. Therefore, acceptable to refer to spurs fans as 'yids'.

Strange logic.

I don't know what proportion of Spurs fans who sing these songs are Jewish, but I doubt it's many. Therefore, just because they have "reclaimed" a term of abuse doesn't mean it's ok for others to use.

I think it's a term that's in the same category as nigger and paki, and I certainly wouldn't use it.

It's certainly a contensious issue, but I know a lot of spurs fans, both jewish and non jewish, and they all refer to themselves as the 'yid army', 'yiddos' etc etc. None of them seem bothered in the slightest about others calling them by such names, as it what they do themselves.

However tenuous it may be, I think it's different to calling a Jewish person in the street a 'yid', and certainly a long way from the racial slang you highlighted above.

However, each to their own and I understand if some people would find it offensive, I can only go by the behaviour of spurs fans...and they appear to be ok with. I personally don't call Spurs fans 'yids', but based on the 'logic' above I don't really have a problem with others doing it.

Many Spurs fans have YID ARMY printed on the back of their shirts.

Well seeing as two 'yids' in Spurs shirts went over to them, stood in front of them, laughed at the one sat in a Spurs shirt who was only slightly less of a mess than his mate lying prostate next to him and sung 'Yiddos, yiddos, yiddos' I would coin the phrase. Still, don't let that get in the way of your little vendetta against me
