Tottenham and West Ham fans were the targets of racially-charged chants from a section of Chelsea's travelling support at Reading on Sunday
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard says he doesn’t want to hear offensive songs sung by the club’s fanbase after their pre-season friendly with Reading was marred by insulting and racially-charged chants from the stands.
“The support for the fans was incredible,” said the ex-England man. “I didn’t hear the song in question, and of course if there’s a song in the modern day or any day that has offensive words I don’t want to hear that.
“That’s me saying that as a big Chelsea man who really appreciates the support and had it over the years.
“We don’t want songs with offensive words. If the fans could sing other songs then I’ll back that.
“We don’t want to hear that. The club are very clear with the work we do off the pitch about anything that’s offensive or prejudiced and we’ve made a big mark on that in modern years. We don’t want that [song].”

Theres also a good chance the media put in se sort of moles to go under the pretense of chelsea fans and give us a bad reputation due to the headhunters association back in the 80s who were racists. The media love to hate our club... it helps them sell papers so it wouldnt be farfetched for them to pay some racist bums to pose as Chelsea fans for a headline that sells...

Those are the Ultras who are a poorer bunch of fans who only go to smaller games to sabotage the club. You'll never hear them at big games cos they cant afford it. Being uneducated leads to being racist. I can vouch that at all the home games I've been to at the bridge, I've never once heard any racist chants though I've been to the more popular fixtures...
