Hi. I noticed you reverted me here. The term is not offensive as it features on official merchandise sold in the club shop such as on scarves, badges and supporter tops. --] (]) 08:51, 2 August 2020 (UTC) |

:{{reply|The Peacocks Are Back}} Nothing to do with being offensive, nicknames for fans is not a nickname for a club. ] (]) 08:54, 2 August 2020 (UTC) |

::<s>I know it's been a few years but in just a matter of days it wil be a reality again that Leeds play Premiership football. When we ourselves chant "Yiddos! Yiddos!", we do so at the Tottenham team and not the fans, although to all intents and purposes we sing at them as well, songs like "He's only a poor little Yiddo, his face is all tattered and torn, he makes me feel sick, so I hit him with a brick, and now he can't sing any more, he's only a poor little Yiddo Yiddo Yiddo". We do it to the tune of "Only a poor little sparrow". You should see it, it has the whole of Elland Road in stitches and the Spurs fans chanting "We hate Leeds We hate Leeds" back at us. --] (]) 09:09, 2 August 2020 (UTC)</s> |

:::{{reply|The Peacocks Are Back}} That's interesting and sad at the same time. I have some idea that when ] (as he is Jewish) owned the club, might be when Leeds had some Jewish identity and there could be some relationship between chanting and the relationship with the then chairman. There are some more deeper roots with the club and the Jewish culture in Leeds, but I bet hardly few Leeds fans will know about it. ] (]) 10:21, 2 August 2020 (UTC) |

:::::Thanks for the reply, although when I struck out my comment that was meant to retract the actual remark. No point deleting it after it is already there and visible in history so I opted for strike-out. IMHO there is nothing more Jewish about Tottenham than any club as Judaism is merely a way of life and identification. What you need to realise is that it is a reputation which sticks to teams and football supporter mentality is characterised by banter. I sure don't hate the Spurs and will happily support them in Europe and against the '''actual''' teams we at the Leeds hate. I love the fact that Liverpool won the league because I hate both the Manchester teams, United goes without saying but City too because they "bought" their newfound success since the start of the new millennium. But you know the drill. When Liverpool and to a lesser extent Everton are the opponents, we sing "Does the Social know you're here?" and so so and so forth! :) I mean I remember the days of aggro when Leeds boys would chant, "You're going home in a Yorkshire ambulance! *clap clap clap*" and one day the lines to "You'll never walk alone" were amended by the Leeds boys to "You'll never walk AGAIN" but apart from the Scousers being locked in the gorund for about 10 mins after the match, there wasn't one bit of trouble. So for the record, I may verbalise those stereotypes but I swear I am not anti-Tottenham and not anti-Jewish and none of the boys I know are any of this! :))))))) --] (]) 07:04, 6 August 2020 (UTC) |
