I literally can't stand it when people literally use the word 'literally' when they literally have no idea what they are talking about.
It’s not being used in a derogatory way it’s a form of tribute! I’d have thought in the world we live in with the negativity surrounding the Jewish community and the ant-Semitic propaganda I’d have thought anything positive would be a good thing? Besides why has taken so long for Jewish leaders to make a voice.
I certainly wouldn't use it outside of a football setting and can't understand why anyone would find it upsetting in the way we use it. Having said that, I'm not Jewish so I can't really put myself in a Jewish person's shoes.
As mentioned, context is everything and if anyone actually attended a game when we sung "the thing I like most is", they would see what a great atmosphere it creates.

This argument always angers me.
Supporting this club for years I have come across full on racism and casual racism from young kids even.
If anybody thinks our support is causing this issue they are absolutely clueless.
Let’s see how trying to ban us saying Yid works out again.
The police do absolutely fuck all while Chelsea and West Ham sing about auschwitz and running around the lane having foreskins.
They think that will stop if we stop? Not in my lifetime I’m guessing.

If women would stop wearing mini skirts and low cut tops on nights out then rape would stop.
Victim blaming is dumb. It's other fans problem, not ours.

We always get dragged into the argument, ALWAYS! It's almost as if they are using their own shambolic goings on to get one over on us, stop a bit of our uniqueness and turn us plastic. There's an opportunity in their derogatory goings on that seems them not only have an opportunity to deflect blame and say how can we not act this way when Tottenham do etc as well as repress a large part of our energy from the stands.
Sadly, eventually I can see the word Yid being banned from supporters of the club using it. Diabolical really that others use it as guttersnipe, draw negative attention towards the word and then can point a finger at us when it's clearly not used in a Nast or spiteful way. I honestly can't stand how the other London clubs constantly point fingers in our direction, they seem to join forces at the expense of Tottenham. People need to ask why as the only reason I see is them doing so in a discriminatory way.
We're London's most hated club within the local area. What has ever happened to justify that going on apart from the obvious Elephant in the room? I'm not Jewish but I'm proud of the heritage that surrounds our club in its fullest. I see a lot of people that look down their noses because of certain aspects of our club yet all it takes is a finger pointed in our direction and the heat automatically comes off of them. Pathetic journalism doesn't help this cos there should be a lot more made on the subject of tribal hate

The club will keep doing these surveys until the majority to responses are against the use of the word Yid and then claim they have the mandate to ban it.
I would seriously consider jacking it in on a point of principle if it gets banned officially. Another nail in the coffin of the matchday atmosphere which has been getting noticeably worse over the last 10 years.
Sit down, shut up and eat your popcorn.

YID ARMY!!!
Personally I think banning the word from Spurs fans would smack of victim blaming, it would be bowing to the anti semitics and giving them what they want.
It would be like dressing our kids in long trousers and duffle coats to stop Paedophillia!
The problem doesn't go away by covering up the abused... that's just papering over the cracks...
If you wanna stop racism and anti-Semitism... GO FOR THE FUCKING RACISTS & ANTI-SEMITES.... not the ethnic minorities and people trying to stand alongside them in solidarity...
We're not the fucking criminals here!!
We may as well convict all rape victims for being raped, whilst letting their abusers go free...
it's So fucking warped it's ALMOST become funny!
I'll always shout YIIIIIID ARRRRRRMY and give it YIDS YIDS YIDS YIDS.
'Oh we're the Yids Oh we're the Yids oh we', and 'Oh when the Yids going steaming in'.
'Who who who let the Yids out'.
Anyway fuck this thread, it's going on ignore.

Case reviewed the facts of the case and came to the conclusion that the public service I provide the forum by taking the puppy down shouldn't be punished.
''Now you do not punish anyone, Dutch or otherwise, for having big boobs. If anything they should be rewarded''.

You're a cunt 'mate' and probably a Gooner cunt at that.
Fuck off and don't come back.
Well, he famously ripped Jason Lee by blacking up and putting a pineapple on his head, so there's that.
Lee said: "I'd ask them if they realised the significance of what they were doing. It was, looking back, a form of bullying. I work in equalities now, and it can affect different people in different ways. I don't think people appreciate the possible harm it can cause. Not everyone has the make-up to deal with that, and they shouldn't have to."
