Of course it would Dave but some supporters or footballers only mirror the the same attitudes amongst certain parts of the public.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
I have to say, when I've gone to watch Chelsea play, I do look around me and think that sometimes the only reason I'm not racially abused by the home fans is because of the Chelsea shirt I am wearing at the time. Footballs fans are so tribal. They could be abusing an opposing fan because of the nature of his or her colour, totally oblivious that they themselves are surround by black/asian/non white fans!

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
And Chelsea have the nerve to complain about a referee racially abusing one of their players? Disgusting. Hopefully they will take action against this fan, but they will probably say it was a United fan in the Chelsea end. Chelsea, like Liverpool, are always the victims never the perpetrators.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
On rolls the bandwagon.
I remember that time when a black player pulled them level in a champions league final and scored the winning penalty.

Wenger hits out at Chelsea for Clattenburg allegations and asks... where's your proof?
Arsene Wenger has criticised Chelsea for making a public complaint about referee Mark Clattenburg and said the allegations have ālittle proofā.
Wenger said: āI believe one of the best things in sport is itās a battle when it is on. You can sort out the problems you had, especially in England, internally. If it comes to making the lawyers rich Iām not a fan of it. One of the great things in sports as well is tolerance, forgiveness and explanation internally and I think it should stay like that. It can happen that a referee doesn't behave well, I do not say they are angels, but it is always better to sort it out in the room. I didnāt follow the whole (Chelsea) story completely (but) my opinion is just when I didnāt behave well I have an explanation with the referee at the end of the game or another day, rather than going public with little proof. Iām not in favour of making these things public.ā

Sir Alex Ferguson doubts Chelsea's Mark Clattenburg claims
Sir Alex Ferguson does not believe referee Mark Clattenburg used "inappropriate language" towards Chelsea player John Mikel Obi.
"I don't believe he would make comments like that," said Ferguson. "I refuse to believe it. It's unthinkable."
Clattenburg maintains his innocence and neither of his assistants, nor the fourth official, support Chelsea's allegations. Ferguson, speaking ahead of United's Premier League home game against Arsenal, added: "There is not a referee who would stoop to that. I'm convinced by that. I've never had a player come to me in the last 15 years and say a referee swore in a game - ever. The way we see the game today rather than how it was 25 years ago, it has completely changed. I played myself and I know that the banter which went on between referees and players 25 years ago is different to today."

Di Matteo hits back at Ferguson and Wenger for commenting on Clattenburg race case
Roberto Di Matteo has said criticism from Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger over the Mark Clattenburg case will be taken on board to by his Chelsea players but only used as a 'motivational tool'. The Blues boss refused to be drawn on the issue in any depth, citing the matter was in the hands of the police and FA. But responding to the Manchester United manager's comments questioning the credibility of the claims he said: 'He likes to talk about other clubs. We tend not to. I'll leave it up to him. It's a free country where everybody has the freedom of speech. We'll take into consideration what other people say and use it as a motivational tool for ourselves.'
Di Matteo added of Ferguson's scepticism: 'The investigation will qualify this. We don't want to prejudice any trial.' Asked if he feared referees might treat the club differently after making the accusations against Clattenburg, the Italian said: 'I really hope not. I believe that they won't. We have faith in the referees. They are people that are under a lot of pressure. They are human beings like everyone else. You have to try your best and sometimes mistakes can happen.'
Di Matteo maintained his stance of silence when asked about the Chelsea fan caught making a 'monkey' gesture during Wednesday's Capital One Cup tie but did suggest the manner in which racist incidents have been highlighted proved there was still work to be done. 'I always said that we are against any form of discrimination,' he said. 'We will support anyone who is fighting that. That's our position and my personal belief as well. The fact that these incidents are happening give a lot of media exposure and makes people aware that we have to fight maybe a little more strongly than perhaps we thought. Everyone has to be involved in this process to eradicate it from the sport and life in general.'

Theo Walcott: Arsenal want talks 'resolved by Christmas'
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has set a Christmas deadline for the club to agree a new deal with Theo Walcott. The 23-year-old forward's current deal ends next summer and he would be free to talk to other clubs from January. Wenger said: "There is urgency. We want to sort it out before Christmas, one way or the other." Asked if Arsenal would have to sell Walcott if no agreement was reached by 2013, Wenger said: "I would not like to."
Walcott rejected a five-year, £75,000-a-week offer in August, saying he wanted to switch from the wing to centre-forward.

Ā£100k a week to Kop Walcott
LIVERPOOL want to sign Arsenalās Theo Walcott in January. Kop boss Brendan Rodgers is willing to pay the England star Ā£100,000-a-week AND play him in the central striking role he prefers. Liverpool reckon they could land Walcott for just Ā£8million as the unsettled 23-year-old is out of contract next summer.
But Rodgers needs Walcott to resist growing Arsenal pressure to sign a new deal before Christmas. An Anfield source said: āTheo Walcott and Liverpool would be a perfect fit. Itās no secret we are looking for a striker to play with Luis Suarez and Fabio Borini. Theo ticks all the right boxes. He is young, he is fast and he has great skills.ā
Arsene Wenger yesterday slapped a Christmas deadline on talks with Walcott.
The Arsenal boss said: āThere is urgency. We want to sort it out before Christmas, one way or the other.ā
So far, though, Arsenal have offered Walcott Ā£75,000-a- week ā significantly less than Liverpool have on the table. Rodgers is also desperate to get Joe Coleās Ā£120,000-a- week wages off the payroll and will look to sell Jose Enrique and Stewart Downing.

Exclusive - Nicol: Liverpool don't need Walcott
Steve Nicol believes Liverpool should turn their attentions away from Theo Walcott and onto a proven goalscorer. The Reds are set to make a move for the England winger when the January transfer window opens, in a bid to strengthen their attacking department, where Luis Suarez remains their only fit recognisable striker. But former Anfield favourite Nicol claims Brendan Rodgers needs someone more consistent in front of goal. āLiverpool need players who are proven and Theo Walcottās not proven,ā he told the Sports Bar. āHeās too inconsistent. What they donāt need now is another inconsistent player. They need someone who every match you know exactly what youāre going to get. They need someone whoās going to get you goals and be consistent every game and thatās not something you can say about Theo, as great as he is.ā
