Arsenal Football Club has released a statement slamming "grossly offensive antisemitic comments" made by Arsenal fans during the North London derby on Sunday.
The club said in a statement on Wednesday that it was "appalled" to hear that a fan overheard antisemitic statements made by a fellow supporter, and that antisemitic chants were also sung at an Islington pub.
It added that it will "not stand for this kind of behaviour" and said that anyone identified as being involved in antisemitism will receive a "lengthy club ban" and that their details would be given to the police.
It comes after 26-year-old Jewish comedian and lifelong Arsenal fan Katie Price wrote for the JC about how she felt unwelcome at a North London derby for the first time after fans at a pub popular with supporters started chanting ‘Yiddo, Yiddo, Yiddo’.
