It was good to hear Alan Pardew apologise for and condemn the racist abuse that some West Ham fans directed towards the Spurs striker Mido at last Sunday's game. Just as I was hoping that the addition of Israeli Yossi Benayoun to West Ham's squad might help us to shake off the horribly anti-semitic element of our support, up jumps a bunch of idiots with a line in anti-Muslim bigotry. I can only hope that West Ham and Spurs will co-operate to get these people banned from football grounds across the country.
