Yossi speaks out against Hammers’ sick Spurs chants

YOSSI BENAYOUN has revealed his anger at some West Ham fans for their anti-Semitic chants.

The Israeli said on Twitter: “I’ve a great relationship with the supporters. This is why I was very disappointed to hear some of the songs yesterday and it was embarrassing.”

Benayoun, who initially played for the Hammers from 2005-2007, is back at the club on loan.

The FA says it is ‘highly likely’ to launch a probe into chants by West Ham fans during their team’s 3-1 defeat at Tottenham on Sunday.

They taunted Spurs — who have a tradition of Jewish support — with: “He’s coming for you, Adolf Hitler, he’s coming for you.”

The travelling supporters also sang about the stabbing of Tottenham fans in Rome last week.

West Ham yesterday banned one season ticket holder who was arrested at the game for racist behaviour — FOR LIFE.

And they have vowed to dish out the same punishment to any more of their followers found guilty of bad behaviour.

A club statement said: “Any other individuals identified can expect a similar robust response.

“We are in contact with Tottenham to assist them with their investigation into the conduct of a small number of supporters and alleged inappropriate chanting.”

A Spurs spokesman said: “We are compiling a report for the FA and shall be submitting this with all our evidence including CCTV footage.”

Graeme Howlett, who edits the Knees Up Mother Brown website, said: “The majority of West Ham fans went there and supported their team in the proper fashion. They were let down by a tiny minority.”

New QPR boss Harry Redknapp — who managed both Spurs and West Ham — said: “It’s happening more and more, we all hear it. It’s disgusting.”
