At WHL yesterday afternoon.
Singing "Hitler is coming for you"
Also songs about Lazio and expressing love for Di Canio via Lazio stabbings.
It's past the point where it is extremely sad.
A massive difference between that and us singing about Eric Cantona when we play Palace.

The "can we stab you every week?" was a new one though...

He's like a fart in a lift.
At first I thought the Paolo Di Canio chants were similar to the Man Utd Cantona chants then I twigged once the Lazio love in started.
I was not sitting that far from Sam Allardyce and cannot believe that he claims not to have heard it.
I started the day as broadly neutral but the way that West Ham's fans acted pushed me in wanting a Spurs victory and I even ended up celebrating their goals.
On the pitch the Hammers looked like a relegation team,but their current points tally should see them safe.Spurs on the other hand were superb and I was very impressed with Hugo Lloris after all of the hype about Friedal.
On a lighter note it was amusing to hear the Hammers nick all of our anti Defoe songs,when after all it was them who stole him off us.What comes round

If you start singing about us being pikies, scum, thick, simple, animals, burning us in a bonfire etc, could you be accussed on abuse & inciting violence?
If we sing about shooting robins when they bob along, will the RSPCA be on our case?
Sparrows, sometimes you make decent valid points other times you really do come across as a knuckle dragger. Unfortunately the latter occurs a lot more than the former.
it was as if he thought he was being accused of bungs or something and wanted to take the no comment approach ... well bizarre
Regardless, vocal 'minority' or not, the FA need to clamp down on this sort of abuse and I hope they do so. It has no place in the 21st century. Football is so popular that it will always be under the spotlight and these instances demonise the majority of those who go and watch the match, and demonise even more those who go and sing to support their team or humour the opposition with songs that don't mock genocide and attempted murder.
SLL, are you sure no body in the end actually believes any of it? Nick Griffin got almost 15% of the vote in Barking in the last general election.
It can and hopefully will change anytime soon.
It just needs the Clubs to carry on giving life time bans as West Ham did today (well done them) and for other fans to stop shrugging their shoulders or making pathetic excuses like above and shout down the idiots.
We no longer hear the monkey noises and other racist chants anything like we used to and that was in part due to people saying "no, this isn't right, it's not acceptable, it's not banter, it's vile, racist and nasty and we don't want to hear it at our Club from our fans".
