Exactly hence I'm open to the feelings of actual Jewish Spurs fans.

Chelsea lite.
Even some of their boys ran with Chelsea at times as well.
They were just trying to be like their heroes
Only a matter of time before it outlawed at the ground and fans banned for it I reckon. RIP.
It's getting beyond a joke and worse week by week.
Working class mans sport my arse.
Soon we will only be allowed to shout "Bravo" when we score as too much cheering might put a strain on the opposition fans mental health.
Yep, agreed.
Key findings have shown:
• Members of our fanbase feel uncomfortable with the Y-word’s continued use at matches
• Supporters who were prepared to defend their position on why they use the term expressed an openness to its use being reduced if it caused offence to fellow fans
• Supporters, especially those of a younger generation, are often unaware of the term’s meaning and its historical context when chanting it
• That now, more than ever, is the time to re-assess and re-consider its ongoing use
We recognise how these members of our fanbase feel and we also believe it is time to move on from associating this term with our Club.
The adoption of the Y-word by our supporters from the late 1970s was a positive response to the lack of action taken by others around this issue. An increasing number of our fans now wish to see positive change again with the reduction of its use, something we welcome and shall look to support.
We acknowledge that any reassessment of the use of this term needs to be a collaborative effort between the Club and its fans. We shall be working to further outline the historical context of the term, to explain the offence it can cause and to embrace the times in which we now live to show why it can be considered inappropriate, regardless of context.
As such, we are today launching our WhY Word online hub, with dedicated content appearing in home matchday programmes from this weekend’s match onwards, asking fans to re-assess their use of the term and provide the historical context as to why it can cause offence, particularly for the benefit of younger members of our fanbase who, our research suggests, are less aware of the word’s origins.
The Club already refrains from engaging with any social media handle or bio that contains the Y-word and we do not permit it being printed on shirts in any official retail outlets or used in any official Club context.

I'd not seen this. What an absolute peice of garbage this bloke is....
Fuck'em
This is sad, but inevitable.
Final nail in the coffin for me. I won't renew my ST next season. I will buy a membership and do 8-10 games a season on that.
Spurs really don't was old dinosaurs like me any more.
Shame.

Baddiel can go fuck himself, the obnoxious hypocrite cunt. Hope someone smashes his nose off.
Will he now commit to focusing on driving the (actual) racism out of stamford bridge?
I'll be wearing my 'being a yid' t shirt Sunday now.
I enjoy meeting fellow TFCers pre-match (very good turnout yesterday) and spending time with my Bother in Law and friends.
I basically dislike everything else about the match day experience.
Stupid match days, ridiculous kick off times, political correctness gone way too far, people eating lemon Drizzle cake in their seats, spending the whole match on What's App and others talking incessantly about climate change, their mortgage or house prices. VAR and biased media and pundits.
Games gone.
At least under Poch we had good players and some great football to watch. We don't even have that any longer.

Which is why I think the time has arrived for me to duck out of doing the 20-25 games a season I have been attending.
So that was the game, then.
I fully expect the actual anti-semitism to continue in full flow, while only getting cursory-to-no media attention.
And certainly none whatsoever by public "personalities" like Baddiel.
Next step will be franchising clubs like a mobile NFL circus. Because attachment to locals and cities is "tribal" and "divisive".
