Malaysian Muslims appear to be adopting the Spurs approach to chanting when it comes to Jewish players following an official complaint by Chelsea to the Malaysian Football Federation after Jewish and Israeli player Yossi Benayoun was subjected to racist abuse during a match in Kuala Lumpar.
Anyone who knows the history of racist Chelsea as I do being a West Londoner, QPR supporter and hater of Chelsea scum cannot help being amused by the irony of Chelsea complaining about racism.
LM is not entirely sure how Chelsea came to the view that anti semitism was the cause of abuse bearing in mind some pretty stupid tackles by Benayoun and also the language barrier unless of course the abuse was in English.
In contrast to the sad treatment towards a Jewish player the Muslim Chelsea player Nicolas Anelka received a much more positive response from Malaysian fans.
Given the pretty extreme prejudice to be seen in Malaysia at the moment (admittedly against the Chinese, mainly) it wouldn't surprise me at all to see some brainless anti-semitic chanting
