Amazing how outraged people are that we actually want something other than a bargain for Kane. That's the root of this.

I do think there's very casual antisemitic things that are referenced with the club, just because we happen to be financially competent and have soft-of Jewish ownership
Without a doubt, this was mentioned earlier in other threads...whats concerning is that it doesn't just come from fans of other clubs though.
@Shadydan mentioned earlier and I agree that there's definitely an undercurrent of it within our own fanbase.

Not sure if its been mentioned but was the moron on Talksport a Spurs fan?

In fairness to the presenters, they would have been used to being directed that the call was being knocked, and they'd likely be trained to carry on without acknowledging it for the easier radio edit - just so happens they forgot to edit it on youtube, or else we'd not know.

They knock Spurs so much on that station people feel they have the right to talk like this. Boycott it.

On the move so can't elaborate at this point but just been an utterly genius (comical) call from an Arsenal fan from around 17.55.

Didn't realise using the word "Jew" was racist. I mean it's not a race, is it? At worst it was cruel stereotyping, and could actually be considered to be flattering. The caller obviously equals being Jewish and being an astute and remorseless businessman.
Is Levy Jewish? Yes.
Is he a tough negotiator? Yes.
Are Jews historically (not stereotypically) associated with finances? Yes.
What's the problem then?

I see nothing remotely offensive/anti-semitic with what was said.

I would love some clarification from someone.

Oh dear... I'm not sure where to start.

This is the caller I was talking about but that clip cuts out the best bit were he goes on to talk about sending letters to addressed to Wenger and the club (100s of letters over the years) recommending players such as Van Nistelrooy before United signed him and various others.

First time I've listened to Talksport in a long time but hearing Martin Keown getting the interlectual shit kicked out of him by SImon Jordan is a thing of beauty.

The disdain he shows for these thick ex-players is brilliant.

His weekly dismantling of whatever rubbish Trevor Sinclair is talking about is a particular highlight for me

I think Gabby Agbonlahor could intellectually smash Keown. The guy takes himself far too seriously and when you're as thick as shit. you're open to ridicule
