It’s a funny thing isn’t it, coincidence?

Just as the club has been embroiled in world headlines about supposed anti-semitism, today we face the UK’s club most known for it’s Jewish support. I’ll have to say Spurs, because I daren’t print the word that the club’s fans actually call themselves, for fear of being accused of anti-semitism myself. You know what it is and just in case you don’t, it begins with a “Y”.

For the record, I view all religions with equal disdain, but do have the opinion that some come across as more peaceful than others. Extreme wings of Islam AND Judaism are amongst the worst in my book. I’ve seen much said that the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv has been based on anti-semetic grounds. That stupid councillor apart, I’m not entirely convinced that’s true. I personally think that the Israeli club’s fans have a really bad reputation and while it’s probably true they don’t get banned at other grounds, I do think there is a serious risk of serious trouble for this game because of our demographic in the area. Now, I totally agree that the demographic of the area should have nothing...
