yids

Looking at the table, if Spurs can draw or even win at home to Inter in the next game they should qualify for the knockout stages.

On a bad note I see Manure won 1-0 tonight. (

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

On the back of the thread title, I have heard David Baddiel talk a lot about Spurs fans use of the word Yid.

Him and his brother have made a film about it that I see is now out, have any one seen it, I think they eventually got support from the board of Tottenham so maybe it has been shown up there on match day.

I see its stars Zesh Rehman.

THE Y WORD

A short film written by David & Ivor Baddiel to raise awareness of Anti-Semitism in Football, directed by Robert Young (Splitting Heirs, Eichmann). Featuring Gary Lineker, Frank Lampard, Ledley King, Kieran Gibbs, Rachel Yankey and Zesh Rehman. Sponsored by Kick It Out, David Baddiel, CST & Maccabi with full support from The FA, Premier League & the Professional Footballer's Association.

Status: Completed and airing in September 2010

Information
The chanting of ‘Yiddo' and the evocation of other anti-semitic chants and behaviour, such as ‘gas chamber' hissing still occurs with alarming regularity at football grounds up and down the country and is largely left undealt with.

In a zero-tolerance for racism in modern football, the argument put forward by some that “Yiddo” is a special case, because Spurs fans, most of whom are not Jewish, like to use the term about themselves, is irrelevant: Yid is a race-hate term, exactly the same as offensive terms for black or Asian people, the use of which, in any context, would lead to immediate exclusion at a football ground.

As a way of combating the ‘Yid' chant, raising awareness of the issue and starting a dialogue about it, David Baddiel has written a short (90 second) film addressing this issue. This film will feature well-known footballers and be shown at football grounds across the country, cinemas and distributed virally to as many websites as possible.

I take my hat off to you mate, your taking the ribbing in good humour and come across as far more of a real football fan than half the tossers on here who go on about plastics and whove probably only been a 'fan' since euro 96

Why couldn't there have been 5 more minutes in that game last night, who knows what would/could have happened.

If we can avoid defeat against Inter at The Lane now, last 16 'ereeeee we come.

I reckon another 5 minutes and we might of got a result...

Proud of our second half performance despite losing.

 

[BensGrandad]

Remarkable comeback so near yet so far now makes the result away to Werder Bremen look a bad one having been leading 2-0 then to only draw.

Here's the match report from the BBC:

BBC Sport - Football - Inter Milan 4-3 Tottenham

The Tottenham boss should shoulder some of the blame for starting with an attacking line-up against the European champions

Yeah. Every chance of that happening.

Be fair Simster, he was down to the barebones. He's only got a 40 man first team squad (according to the BBC website).

As many as 40.

Take out the players on loan and the injuires its not a massive squad, Redknapp did f*** up last night though. Shock

I'd blame the players more for being overwhelmed by the occasion for the first half hr. If you'd had 11 and the match had started from the second half you'd have prob won!

According to their official site, Internazionale have a squad of 28 players, fit or otherwise.

Which one is the more likely to whinge about being down to the bare bones - Rafa or 'arry? Another shock.

You what? Where the hell is the logic in that? Surely the entire point of having a squad is to cover for injuries? You also miss out Keane (who was on the bench) and Galls (which I'll forgive you for as he was invisible for pretty much the entire game!). So poor Harry only had 21 players fit and available to choose from? Poor him.

sorry fat fingers, Didnt mean to remove Keane and Gallas (I wish we would remove them)

A squad yes, but if your squad is made up of 19 year olds who arent good enough I dont think its fair you name them? If Lua Lua got injured would you be happy with Ryan Thompson coming in? who is registerd on the the web as a first team player?

Quite, Im not overly bothered about last night as it was all about learning, plus its good for England the likes of Huddlestone and Lennon get more big matches surely.
