    These days, if you say you're English, you'll be arrested and thrown in jail

    They 1000% contained the words.

    I saw people raising their hands out wide as if to show how big it was. The song was sung for about 20 minutes non stop in the second half and could be heard loud and clear in the ponte. People around me were visibly cringing.

    When Man Utd fans continued to sing the Lukaku song, stewards/police were instructed to identify culprits to be made an example of. Maybe that's what it will take to stop it.

    Having heard the lad speak English, it's more than likely he doesn't fully understand what's being sung.

    I've only watched the game on ifollow so couldn't tell from that. I'd read a few comments from people on here that all they could hear was his name being sung. If the original version of the song was being sung then action needs taking.
    I'm constantly and simultaneously both amazed and not amazed by the level of utter stupidity of a significant percentage of the human race.

    We can only hope - though the fact that the stewards threw out the morons who smashed the seats rather than handing them over to the Police leaves me with little hope.

    Irrelevant if he minds or not, it still serves to perpetuate racial stereotyping.

    The Guardian printing lies as fact.. what a surprise.

    I don't buy or read the Daily Mail or any other rag for that matter... The left rags preach **** to the left believers as does the right to there following fools. All sides owned by the puppeteers.

    Did he understand or was he even aware of what was sung? Given some fans couldn't, it's perhaps doubtful.
