With Spurs fans being arrested for referring to themselves as 'Yids', will the next step be Albion fans being accused of heterophobia with our riposte to the jibes from other fans

Think we'd be on thin ground legally. Speaking for the North Stand... Pot. Kettle. Ugly.

On the grounds of provocation, we'll be fine.

It just doesn't sound right, does it?

Certainly chants like "1-0 to the Nancy boys" and "We're gay and we're beating you!" will have to go as they are homophobic. Both refer to homosexuality in a pejorative manner as they clearly imply that homosexual men are too effete to play football and thus losing to such a team exposes you to ridicule.

I disagree btw, but then that's the way football's going. We had this discussion last year when people tied themselves up in knots about what level of homophobic 'banter' was acceptable.

I don't know. With so much focus on being politically correct it might be quite funny to have some well "over the top" chants ridiculing it.
