What they're chanting at Chelsea

Monday, 1st October 2007

I suppose the moral of the story is that you can take the supporter out of the Shed, but you can't take the Shed out of the supporter... This is the second time in a week that I've read about this happening at Stamford Bridge. Is it just moronic football "banter"?

Chelsea are concerned there may have been a "racist and anti-Semitic" element to some of the fans' protests about [new manager Avram] Grant, whose Polish father, Meir, 80, is a holocaust survivor. Reiterating that the Israeli had the club's "support and confidence", Buck said: "We welcome all constructive points of view, but there have been a few which could be viewed as racist and anti-Semitic and that must stop immediately. It unfairly smears the reputation of the vast majority of Chelsea fans."
