Spurs chant?

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I'm a Belgian supporter of Spurs and every Christmas period I try to attend a home game. There is one chant and I really can't figure out what the supporters are shouting. Most of the time they sing it after we scored a goal. The only thing I here is "libero libero" or something like that but I don't think that those are the correct words. Can anyone help me out? #COYS
 
Hi it's probably YID-I-O! YID-I-O!Based on calling ourselves Yids.

Do you mean the old "De Niro De Niro" Chant? It goes all the way back to the 70's. We all thought Bobby D should have won the Oscar for Taxi Driver so we like to get behind him every time we score.
 
Reminds me of when I went with some mates to see Brighton play at Millwall and was surprised to hear a report afterwards claiming that the Millwall hardcore has been chanting "Sieg Heil!" throughout the match. The stupid cunt had only been hearing Brighton fans chanting "Seagulls!".
 
Another example of this was in the Australian league recently, my local team have a song that goes 'Shalalala AUFC' (initials of Adelaide United Football Club) and the local newspaper reported it as 'Shalalalala Hey UFC'
