I thought Jonathan Liew in the Telegraph put it very well


"Let us be clear about this. We are not talking about a few isolated crooners here. A significant proportion of West Ham's travelling support participated. The press box at White Hart Lane is roughly 60 yards from the away end. The songs rang out loudly and clearly.


Tottenham have a significant proportion of Jewish fans. So do West Ham, as if that matters. This is not a question of identity, or racial pride. It is a lack of manners, compounded by a lack of education, compounded by a lack of fundamental human dignity."


Was disappointed both managers chose to be so equivocal as well

Hard to believe this pondlife can't be identified and arrested - there are HD cameras all over the place which could be turned around and focused on any crowd section where there is racist chanting without breaching anyone's human rights etc.


It's not just offensive it's a crime and lip reading has been used in the past to ID offenders. They should be ID'd and dealt with in the same way rioters and looters were - an early morning wake-up call and a picture in the paper.

Especially Allardyce, who, when asked about the chants by jourmos, said "What do you want me to say?", well Mr. Allardyce it would have been nice if you'd said how disgusted he was with a section of his own fans. Perhaps I'm being naive.

West Ham aren't alone here, a couple of year's ago whilst at WHL a considerable amount of Everton fans made hissing noises etc, in the past I have confronted these idiots but mostly to little avail. Puts me off going away, as these fixtures attract the bigots. Scum.

Fair play to you for having a go though, I have to admit I'd want to have a go, but would probably keep my head down and not risk trouble.


You really do wonder whether these morons actually give any thought whatsoever to what they are saying / doing. You almost hope not, because then they are just total morons. If they really do think gas chambers are funny, then that's a lot scarier. Either way they should be banned from all grounds for life.

My personal opinion on this (which will never happen)is that they should shrink the Champions League to include just CHAMPIONS", and make the Europa league a better competition. They should definintely stop adding the knocked out teams of one in to the other, that undervalues the EL more than anything IMO.

Made me check the details but I was at the 1984 semi Man U v Juventus. Was working in Manchester and got a ticket at face value just before k.o. Juve had Rossi, Platini and Boniek. 1-1 draw. Sadly the United scorer was a little known guy called Alan Davies who some years later comitted suicide.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By Angelina · Posted

      It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.

      NIKO THE PLUMBER

      By DAVID CANNON · Posted

      I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!

      Has your child sat 4+ or 7+ assessments?

      By Mr F · Posted

      I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
