    THE Merc G Wagon has become a must-have car for celebs and footballers since its launch in the US in 2002.

    Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, TV star Kim Kardashian and boxer Floyd Mayweather all have one.

    In Britain it’s been seen driven by Myleene Klass, Holly Willoughby, Abbey Clancy, Louise Redknapp, Jess Wright, Rochelle Humes, Michelle Keegan, Nick Grimshaw and Louis Walsh.

    Chelsea star David Luiz, 31, has been pictured driving his into the training ground. Teammate, Tiemoue Bakayoko, 24, had a crash in his G-Wagon.

    Other footballers who have one include Granit Xhaka, Alexander Lacazette,
    Virgil Van Dijik, Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart and Etienne Capoue.

    There is no suggestion they were involved in the M25 incident.
    Capoue is 30 years old. But he lives in the opposite direction. The offence was Junction 22 going west. Junction 22 is Arsenal's and Watford's training ground.

    For additional evidence, here's the story about him getting a parking ticket with the same car back in 2016: https://www.90min.com/posts/3837921...-receiving-parking-ticket-on-160-000-mercedes

    Problem is he lives in Hampstead- I'm not saying it's not him , just that he doesn't live in that direction. Nor does Capoue.
    Maybe he was in a hurry to the airport????????????????

    Also the footballer was supposedly wearing Flip Flops

    He does have to be in that neck of the woods though, as junctions 20 to 22 (where the incident took place) puts it right next to Colney, which is where Arsenal and Watford have their training grounds. Couple that with him being left out of yesterday's matchday squad, and plenty of evidence of him owning a G Wagon, he's certainly looking like a prime suspect

    Not to be confused with a prime numpty, which is what their most famous supporter looks like after getting owned on Twitter by a sausage roll seller

    Now it's The Sun's turn to muckrake with their story of an England international snorting cocaine at a club Christmas bash

    The odds are it's either a one-cap wonder but Murdoch's Hate Comic wishes to see how long they can get their readers assuming it's Raheem Sterling, or we have an explanation for why Kyle Walker's defending was so **** against Palace...

    The club have, for once, responded on this issue...

    “The Y-word was originally adopted in order to deflect such abuse. We have always been clear that our fans (both Jewish and gentile) have never used the term with any deliberate intent to cause offence. A re-assessment of its use can only occur effectively within the context of a total clampdown on unacceptable anti-Semitism.”

    Seems about right to me.

    Chelsea have no desire to deal with this at all. As with racism and sexual abuse involving their youth team, the incident in Paris, etc,they'd very much like it to go away and for someone else to be the centre of this unwanted attention. Basically, anything that limits the rocking of Roman's despicable ship, especially as he's trying to convince some mad yanks to take the whole vile thing off his hands.

    Actually an article where the WJC and BOD have bought totally
    into the 'Baddiel defence' of Chelsky supporter antics.

    WJC chief executive Robert Singer said...

    ‘We hope that the actions being taken by Chelsea will establish the groundwork for more tolerance. We would also ask Tottenham to take a stand against the use of “Y** Army”, Y** and “Y****s” by their fans. Such a long overdue action is important to kick anti-semitism off the pitch.’

    Somehow, he seems to have the idea that Spurs fans are the problem, when supporters of all denominations join together to sing "We are the Yids" in response to songs about Hitler, Auschwitz and the Holocaust. I wonder who might have done that?

    Someone's obviously got in his ear that Chelsea are driving a solution and that Spurs are the problem in allowing anti-semitic chanting with no response. Nothing could be further from the truth. Chelsea continue to resist banning fans and have never asked for footage of fans involved, which is definitely available. They don't ban those caught in racist chanting, they go on a free holiday. The bloke who threw the banana skin at Arsenal was immediately banned for life by Spurs.

    I'm of the generation that started the 'Yids' chant and think that it should be put aside when the provocation ends but not before. We sing it to indicate that there's no division between us in the face of hatred. If the hatred stops....

    Does anyone want to forward this story to the Board of Deputies, as it seems they haven't read it?
    https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/...enham-wembley-carabao-cup-semi-final-1.477905
    https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.co...game-in-attempt-to-curb-antisemitic-chanting/

    Of course, the following passage from the second link indicates what's really going on here...

    The issue of Chelsea fans’ antisemitic chanting was repeatedly raised last year, with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn even wading in to warn travelling supporters against singing offensive songs.

    So here's how the BoD seem to view the situation
    i.) Jeremy Corbyn rightly believes criticising Israel ≠ antisemitism
    ii.) The BoD spend a lot of time and effort trying to paint Corbyn as an antisemite
    iii.) When not bowing to their obvious politicising to get their way, Corbyn rightly calls out Chelsea fans for decades of knuckle dragging
    iv.) Because Corbyn has criticised Chelsea fans, that means they're pillars of virtue and that means Spurs are to blame

    As I said in the match thread, they've gone Full Baddiel

    I was told that we have more Jewish fans than anywhere else(?) . Excluding Israel!. A very large contingment settled the Stamford Hill/South Tottenham areas...and some in the Tottenham area itself.I had a Jewish mate when I attended Down Lane Junior School.
    So the name the fans use is used very good humourly.

    The association is because of the Frumers in Stamford Hill.

    In terms of support, my lifetime encounters suggest that tis the Goons
    who have a greater proportion of Jewish supporters than Spurs. < YMMV >

    This is the thing I find perplexing: because Spurs and Arsenal share a catchment area for fans, the Goons have a fair share of Jewish support - but the morons in their fanbase are oblivious to this given it's becoming a regular thing in recent seasons to hear about them borrowing a few chants from the Chav songbook, most recently last month

    You'd think the BoD would be jumping on this, frankly, given Corbyn's not only an Arsenal fan but the Emirates is in his constituency...

    Going back to the 50's and before, an awful lot of fans went to watch both clubs. My dad's brothers did and I have cousins who support both teams as a result.

    I recall the away game at The Library in '78/79 being notably really bad for anti-semitic chants directed at us. I never really got this as Arsenal's support was at least as Jewish as ours and they were at home, so had far more people to whom the discriminatory chanting applied. I guess you shouldn't try to rationalise rank stupidity and hatred?
