So who feels good this morning and who feels good about the upcoming matches? I certainly do. Dortmund have had a solid start to the season but drew yesterday so I think we stand a good chance of winning on Wednesday. A win against Swansea and very winnable matches thereafter. Also Real Madrid look vulnerable.
Actually the chants were aimed at us. I get the feeling this will all blow up and be blamed on us and this time we will be banned from calling ourselves YIDS. However, well done on them coming out and condemning it and also to Morata who asked for the song not to be sung. TBH , on this occasion , we can't blame their fans for an anti-semtic song-it is clearly aimed at us Spurs supporters. I didn't know they had it in them to realize they could rhyme Madrid with Yid. But as I said, I think some fans will continue and we'll feel the backlash. For those unaware of what this is about: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41216477
After two weeks of depression, I do feel better thanks.I really need to stop taking this game so seriously but I am addicted....... I was worried after our start that the last two seasons were done with and we were back to the old days but after yesterday's performance , I am hopeful again. That said , let's not get carried away re: CL. ( Does this belong on this thread?)
Yes I'm sure they'll use this as an excuse to wheel out the morosely irrelevant David Baddiel (who by dint of the fact that he happens to be Jewish is apparently a world expert on anti-semitism), who also happens to support Chelsea, and he'll find a predictably humourless explanation for how we've brought this upon ourselves for calling ourselves the 'Yid army'. This explanation will also conveniently ignore the fact that even a 5 year old could spot the difference between "Yid Army" and "he hates the f***ing yids".
Would this be the same Baddiel who once showed a lot of pictures of spurs players holding their arms out (on his Fantasy football show in the 1990s) to make a joke of how Jewish they looked? Or would it be the David Baddiel who show a clip of Ronnie Rosential (Israeli) not passing to Jurgen Klinnsman (German) and said Ronnie should remember the war was over a long time ago?
