 Three months after 7 Spurs fans were injured in Lazio, Italy prior to a Europa match, a similar attack happened to another group of Tottenham fans last night in Lyon, France.

LONDON -- Three Tottenham fans were injured after being attacked at a pub in Lyon by about 50 masked thugs ahead of a Europa League match against the French club.

Tottenham said Thursday that arrests were made relating to the incident that occurred late Wednesday at the Smoking Dog, a pub popular among British people in the French city.

"Three fans sustained minor injuries and received prompt medical assistance," Tottenham said.

...Like French club Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon has a far-right contingent among its fans, some of whom form part of a group called "Bad Gones."

Damn!!! Listen if your a Spurs fan and you want to travel abroad to support your team.....don't. The saddest part is that these attacks seem to be related to anti-Semetism. For those who don't know Spurs has a large Jewish fan base and the team and fan's often take abuse from opposing teams (especially in European tournaments) based on this fact.

I would say FIFA should do something to curb this but.........c'mon. Let's be real here.
