I met a few of our boys in Prague few years back. The Slavia Prague fellas didn't turn up according to the chap I was talking to. Fella I was talking to went by the name of Bob and was nice as pie.
I still remember Seville at home as to how good our fans are. I have a pic - after getting knocked out by them - of Spurs fans congratulating the Seville fans in the away end after they put us out. Great moment.
AIK fans got knifed by Napoli fans last night ahead of the game. I absolutely loath AIK, both in hockey and football, but I wouldn't wish them to get stabbed. 900 AIK fans are currently in Napoli to see the game. No one died though. Couple of them in hospital.
AIKs fans are traditionally the most "hardcore" in Sweden and had some nazi-affiliation during the 90's (ironically since the club was founded by Isidor Behrens, a jew).
Rough place, Napoli?
Did they do it to their own black players?
Did I hear correctly both fans chanting for Gazza (who wasn't there) at one point and applauding each other?

Don't hold your breath. Maybe they do put on a serious face for a minute and fine them to the tune of 3 stale bread roles whilst tussling the cheeky scamps' hair.On a more serious note, I really hope UEFA reacts in some way against Lazio for this.
The Guardian said:The monkey chants at White Hart Lane were first audible when Defoe crashed into the advertising hoarding below the visiting supporters early in the second half. The striker had lost the ball and, before he got to his feet, he kicked the hoardings hard. The anti-racism group FARE posted a link on its Twitter feed giving Spurs fans the chance to report any chants they heard.
André Villas-Boas, the Tottenham manager, said he did not hear the chants but added he would expect Uefa to act if his club saw fit to complain formally.
"I think so," Villas-Boas said. "Uefa is very active on this kind of situation. Our overall objective is to kick racism out of football but I can't point the finger in any way or form because I didn't hear anything. I wasn't aware of anything as I was focused on the game. I haven't heard anything from the players, too."
