Spuds fans' chant for Kanu vs. Pompey

Post by Cesc is God »

A tad harsh, don't you think. Although with scumbag supporters like them, I'm really not surprised:
He's big, he' black.
He had a heart attack.
Kanu... Kanu
Sorry if this offends anyone although it shouldn't. But still, a quite OTT chant and I really hope that they get punished. :?

no offence but people really need to stop moaning about football chants.

This is what happens at football and has for ages.

I'm sure Kanu really cares sitting in his mansion playing premiership football that some Chelsea fans said he was black and had a heart attack.

Heard worse, and about one of our own players. And yeah it happens, it's football. If we take all chants out of the game, we may aswel let club level sit everywhere.

A football chant is like a joke, not to everyone's taste but me personally, i dont care what gets sung at games. It's part of the day/game.

There's nothing to punish in that chant! :? :roll:

It's surely not racist to say a man is big and black, if he is in fact... big and black! :oops: :lol: :lol:

or am I missing the point??

I was gonna say that the chant originated here at Highbury.

It's not actually racist - Kanu is big (at 6ft 5ins you can't call him much else).

Kanu is black - he's of African ethnic origin and they like to be referred to as black - as opposed to coloureds, darkies, spades or worse.

Is it offensive to point out that he's had a heart attack? I suppose it was different as we were singing that in order to praise Kanu, Spurs probably sang it as if to say 'he's had a heart attack, ha ha!'

Too much to bother analysing whether this is offensive - probably easier to ignore it.
