    Football Racism - Yids

    What's all that about? Heard a bit of it in the car on the way home, think it was Ashley Cole saying that fans used to chant about the N word, I assume he meant N*gg*r, cos he is black - and then Frank Lampard came on (I think it was him) and said fans used to chant the P word. WTF is that? 'Poor'? 'Pillock'? 'Piss'? - Cos he's a piss-poor pillock? What was the P word?

    The Y word is of course Yids. Summert about Spurts fans getting upset.

    Dear numbnuts,

    Thanks for your post. I believe the P word is papa alpha kilo india. Yid is an accepted term for a Tottenham fan. In the 80s the Jewish contingent were upset at being called Yids so all of the supporters decided to adopt the name in a show of solidarity. I am proud to be a yid.

    Any further questions please post back here soon.

    All the best

      Yid is a well known term for Spurs fans.

      I have an indian-born mate who calls herself a Yid. She wasn't happy that her cricket team also got their arses kicked in the IPL.

        I assumed it was Frank Lampard saying it for some reason, sure this was football related to the particular player question - maybe not - maybe more generic given the lack of pakistani players in the prem...

        Back in the day we used to sing, in the old Lever End at Bolton..

        "Hark now hear, the Lever End sing
        The Pilot was my Mate
        He was the Man
        Who flew the plane
        in Nineteen Fifty-Eight..."

        Directed at the Munich Disaster, we had lots of them. Feel quite ashamed to be honest, but it's hard to feel the connection between the joke and the actual tragedy after some time. For example, Jack the Ripper is like a joke figure nowadays, he slit up a few worthless whores, but have a google for Mary Jane Kelly and see the Victorian crime scene pics and it seems less of a joke and more of a 'Jesus Christ....'

        I'm building bridges tonight, obviously cos my rep is suffering, so I'm offering a cuddle party at my place later on, I won't be in, but my good friend Tom 'Stanley Slasher' Damage will be in to receive any cuddles due to me.

        I thank you.

        Yes I've had a drink or two, infraction-tastic!

            David Baddiel's behind it. He objects to Spurs fans calling themselves the Yids, because it means opposing fans call them Yids as well.

            They'll have to call themselves something else. Like Hebrews or Canaanites or something.

                Forgive me for being slow, but why would someone from Yorkshire have such a hatred for Spurs fans? Even allowing the fact SY01 is one?

                  Just because I now live in God's Own Republic Of Yorkshire doesn't mean I was born there!

                    I thought everyone hated Sp*rs fans. Even Sp*rs fans themselves.
