England football fans chant ‘Keir Starmer is a c---'
England supporters called Prime Minister Keir Starmer a 'c---' during the World Cup qualifier against Andorra. Around 7,000 England fans travelled to Barcelona and they turned on Starmer during the clash with the team ranked 173rd in the world rankings. With the match goalless, the foul-mouthed chants about the Prime Minister were clearly heard. To the tune of KC & The Sunshine Band's 1982 song Give It Up, fans sang: 'Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na now, Starmer is a c---, is a c---, Starmer is a c---.' Starmer was also in their sights when they sang: 'Keir Starmer, is a w----r, is a w----r.' Thomas Tuchel's team were playing at a half-empty stadium after the fixture was switched from Andorra to Espanyol's ground 125 miles away. At the time of the chanting towards the Prime Minister, England were struggling to break down their lowly-ranked opponents and supporters went through their repertoire of songs. At half-time, there were boos from the crowd after England failed to score in the first 45 minutes. While it is the first time supporters have taken aim at the Prime Minister, the Football Association was previously been warned about 'political chants' by English fans during the World Cup in Russia in 2018. Fifa looked into the chanting of 'No Surrender' by supporters and other potentially discriminatory songs. Earlier in the season, police urged England fans to 'respect local culture' when attending the Nations League match against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin. England fans also sang God Save The King, and there was controversy over the national anthem earlier this season when Lee Carsley, a former Republic of Ireland international, did not sing it during his time as England's interim manager. Tuchel says he has to 'earn the right' to sing the national anthem. 'I feel that it is not just a given. You cannot just sing it. That's why I decided that I will not sing it in my first matches,' the German said.

James Maddison breaks his silence after Ange Postecoglou's sacking as Tottenham star follows team-mates in sending message to former boss
has become the latest Tottenham Hotspur player to pay tribute to Ange Postecoglou following the manager's sacking, posting a heartfelt message nearly 24 hours after the news was confirmed. Maddison took to social media shortly before 4pm on Saturday to thank Postecoglou for his faith and leadership during their time together at Spurs, describing the Australian as a man with 'great morals' and a winning mentality. The creative midfielder, who was signed by Postecoglou in the summer of 2023 and almost immediately named as one of the club's vice-captains, joined a growing list of team-mates who have publicly thanked the outgoing boss after he was ruthlessly dismissed by the club on Friday. In a post addressed to 'Gaffer', Maddison wrote: 'Firstly, thank you for bringing me to this wonderful club that I now call my home. Your instant belief in me to not only sign me but make me the club's vice captain & part of the leadership group from the get go is something I'll always be thankful for. 'Secondly for the Europa league campaign that started in our stadium on gameweek one and finished perfectly with that special night in Bilbao. You led us to victory and we're European champions and in this club's history books because of you and your winning mentality. 'Lastly and most importantly is how you are as a man and a person. Your unwavering self belief and strong mindset is infectious and a massive reason in why you were the man to end this club's 17 year drought for a trophy. Maddison's tribute followed messages from several Spurs stars, including club captain Son Heung-min, who shared his own post around 8am on Saturday morning. 'Gaffer. You've changed the trajectory of this club,' Son wrote on Instagram. 'You believed in yourself, and us, since day one and never wavered for a second. Even when others did. 'You knew what we were capable of all along. You did it your way. And your way brought this club the best night it's had in decades. We will have those memories for life. 'You trusted me with the captaincy. One of the highest honours of my career. It's been an incredible privilege to learn from your leadership up close, I am a better player and a better person because of you. 'Ange Postecoglou, you are a Tottenham Hotspur legend forever. Thank you, mate.' The flood of tributes had begun soon after Tottenham confirmed Postecoglou's dismissal on Friday afternoon, just 16 days after he led the club to a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final — ending a 17-year wait for major silverware and securing Champions League qualification. Tottenham issued a 368-word statement thanking Postecoglou for his service but claimed the board had 'unanimously' agreed that a change of manager was the best way forward following a dismal domestic campaign that saw Spurs finish 17th in the Premier League. Among the first players to react was Pedro Porro, who posted: 'Thank you for everything, boss… Above everything, you gave us one of the greatest moments in the club's history and for that, you'll always be celebrated.' Gaffer, where to start. Firstly, thank you for bringing me to this wonderful club that I now call my home. Your instant belief in me to not only sign me but make me the clubs vice captain & part of the leadership group from the get go is something I'll always be thankful for.… — James Maddison (@Madders10) June 7, 2025 Richarlison wrote: 'Mister, massive thanks for helping me out and believing in me during one of the trickiest periods of my career and my life… We've made history!' Dominic Solanke said: 'Won't ever forget the convo we had before I signed and we achieved a dream!' Guglielmo Vicario — another member of the leadership group — added: 'You are not only a top manager, you are an incredible person to work for, a real leader, a mentor, and someone I'll always look up to.' Centre-back Micky van de Ven summed up the general feeling as he wrote: 'Many ups and downs in the last two years but you kept believing in us… forever grateful.' Postecoglou himself released a parting statement, reflecting on his two years at the club with pride. The statement read: 'When I reflect on my time as Manager of Tottenham Hotspur my overriding emotion is one of pride. 'The opportunity to lead one of England's historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime. Sharing that experience with all those who truly love this club and seeing the impact it had on them is something I will never forget. 'That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream. There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible. 'We have also laid foundations that mean this club should not have to wait 17 more years for their next success. I have enormous faith in this group of players and know there is much more potential and growth in them. 'I sincerely want to thank those who are the lifeblood of the club, the supporters. I know there were some difficult times but I always felt that they wanted me to succeed and that gave me all the motivation I needed to push on. 'It's important to acknowledge the hard working people at Spurs who gave me encouragement on a daily basis. 'And finally, I want to thank those who were with me every day for the last two years. A fantastic group of young men who are now legends of this football club and the brilliant coaches who never once doubted we could do something special.
