Baddiel is the kind of cunt to do black face on public TV and make "jokes" about having sex with 14 year olds and then has the audacity to speak up about racism like he's some kind of gandhi figure.

Such a monumental prick.

The idea that somebody who did this then passes judgement on others is laughable.

He's one of most snidey 2 faced hypocrites i've ever seen.

season ticket not getting renewed next season

The atmosphere with the day trippers and the way football is going has made me feel like this for a while but this is the final nail in the coffin for me

Not being able to say a word that is part of my heritage, that isn’t offensive in its original meaning, because Chelsea fans moaned about it, is just so ironic it’s untrue

They’re the ones that took that word and made it negative in the first place

Being a Jew I loved the fact that my race and football team had a link, that I was welcomed in and protected from genuine racists since I went to my first game aged 7, that fellow fans would stand up for me wether they were Jewish or not, and we could all share something.

I’ll continue to use the word at the ground for the rest of the season, if I get banned or fined or whatever for it, I’ll take legal action against the club, who are they to tell me, as a Jew, what I can and can’t say

Then I’m done, let the day trippers spend their money there, I’ll watch on tv and remember the good times I had growing up, standing in the park lane, of what was a true football stadium, no light shows needed, no retractable pitches, just 30 odd thousand people sharing something every week

RIP Spurs and RIP Football

Put this in a letter to the club and THST (wherever they are in all this) and keep using the word Yid. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Don't forget the kneeling bit, despite it doing fuck all about racism.

That's a bit more divisive but I get what you mean.

And the selfie-sticks. And tourists.

I won't complain too much about people filming on their phones as we have all seen some great fan vids.

Shakespeare had a negative character called Shylock and we were also named after his character of Harry Hotspur. Do we need to change the club name next?
 
Let's not kid ourselves, even if everyone Spurs stopped singing it, those cunts from East and West will still hiss and use it in their solely racist context. And as usual, fuck all will be done about it!

Skid army though, surely we can get behind this? It then becomes about cockney heritage and cannot be deemed racist. Then again, fuck knows any more
 
I like how the club deliberately uses the question asked on the survey - could yid be racist - to justify this. 94% said yes. You would have to be stupid to say no.
Hipster bloggers, podcasters who love Ndombele and the club turning on the fanbase. Maybe it is time for me to walk away after 25 years. Not enjoying the atmosphere in the ground - we must have near enough the worst home support in the country.
