text: And down at Tottenham Hotspur - where the fans were once largely of Jewish origin and the thickheads have labelled Spurs as the “yiddos” - the term has been accepted by football fans who are appearing on the terraces with all the NF [National Front] and swastika drag plus the Jewish skullcap (to keep it on they have to tape it to their shaven skulls) and chant away: “We are the yiddos”.

God, football’s awful.
