Police have arrested a 17 year old male for a racially aggravated public order offence at tonight's @SpursOfficial v @ChelseaFC The male is currently being dealt with at a North London police station.— MPS Football Unit (@MPSFootballUnit) January 8, 2019Tottenham and Chelsea cautioned supporters to behave prior to the match, after recent incidents of discriminatory behaviour.Last January Chelsea launched the ‘Say No to Anti-Semitism’ campaign and in 2010 joined with anti-discrimination group Kick It Out to “try and rid the game of the Y-word”.However, the waters are muddied by the fact Tottenham supporters use the Y-word in large numbers at matches. Last week the World Jewish Congress and the Board of Deputies of British Jews urged Spurs to take a stand against its use.Yet the club maintain the term is not meant to cause offence.A chant of ‘Yids’ was heard in the second minute, but it appeared muted, with more Spurs fans opting to join in further singing of a song incorporating the word in the West Stand after 16 minutes.
