But the 'n' word is used by black people, is it not racist that they can use it but not others?

Just so we are clear - do you think homophobic chanting should be allowed?

I am not sure all those japanese tourists are into homophobic chanting
My wife and her brother are Arsenal STH and they didn't receive texts....
....but the sentiment is right and as you'll have now noticed having been there that it's the least hostile ground in the country. Not even pockets of partisan support.

Arsenal lost the atmosphere when they moved to the Emirates, I went to Highbury and the place was buzzing! Proper fans priced out

Being overweight isn't a choice either. It may be a medical issue. You just made yourself look very silly with that statement. Well done.

I can see you holding hands, does your boyfriend know you're here? Is NOT homophobic.
If however you think it is then get up to WSU and film, report all the chants about Northern scum, paying benefits, Jimmy savill etc.
Pathetic

Why is anyone arguing still? Arsenal CANNOT be accused of singing today let alone any homophobic songs. FACT. Their support was truly the worst I've ever witnessed of any 'big club'. They should seriously think about reorganising stands to group regulars together and tourists likewise. Those that would like to sing literally don't have people that can speak English next to them, let alone Arsenal fans beyond they've randomly picked a club to visit on their trip of a lifetime from Okinawa. Dreadful atmosphere and isn't just because playing us. Same v everyone else except Spurs and Chelsea. I came away full of pity rather than in awe. What a miserable life Gooners lead!
Without any question it is homophobic because it is taunting the opposition with the implied criticism that they might be gay. I'm not personally offended by it but by any definition it is homophobic.
Ok. But they do/have in the past. *shrug*
Still, you know, I agreed with the sentiments.

Criticism you may be gay?
Bloody hell, you say that like being gay is a bad thing.
You are no better than they are.
Hence the word "implied".

its ironic isnt it?
It really isn't. Why do you think they are taunting opposition fans with the chant? In their eyes do they intend it as a slight or a compliment?
