File this in the "Whatever you say" category:
Edward Ashwell, Chelsea's head of security: "The problem of antisemitic chanting at Stamford Bridge is not as clear cut as it might be. Tottenham Hotspur supporters call themselves 'the Yids' and when some Chelsea supporters chant 'We hate Yids' they do not mean 'We hate Jewish people', they actually mean 'We hate Tottenham supporters' much in the same way as they chant 'We hate Leeds'."
