“Can’t stand him” – A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans are not happy that Sadiq Khan was introduced to Harry Kane and Ledley King.
The Mayor of London was at Duke Aldridge Academy to celebrate Tottenham’s Premier League Kicks campaign – which encourages young people to choose football over anti-social behaviour.
Representing Tottenham was Kane and King – and Mr Khan looked rather pleased to meet them.
Mr Khan also announced that City Hall and the Premier League would be signing a three-year partnership – that will spread Tottenham’s campaign around London.
However, Khan’s appearance has not gone down well with a lot of Tottenham fans because of what they see as weak attempts to tackle antisemitism.
See the best of the reaction below.

Can’t stand him! He’s ruining London. Why was the peasant allowed near His Majesty @LedleyKing and Prince @HKane?

Many Spurs fans are furious at Mr Khan for associating himself with Tottenham – and they want the club to dissociate themselves immediately.
Please can this tweet be deleted. Not our finest moment letting him in to our club. He does know we’re Yids right!? Horrid excuse of a man.

He completely dismisses Jews. Nice work welcoming him. ????

Other Tottenham fans are annoyed at the Mayor of London for his stance on antisemitism -and that because Tottenham have a large Jewish fanbase, they should not be dealing with Mr Khan.
