Cops probe more racist Blues fans
Group of Chelsea fans kicked off train late Sunday night

CHELSEA became embroiled in another racism scandal involving their fans yesterday, this time on a train from London to Manchester on Sunday night.

The British Transport Police said they were investigating reports of racist and abusive behaviour by Blues fans celebrating their League Cup final victory over Tottenham.

Four men were forced off the train, with witnesses claiming that fans asked two young Asian girls where their burkas were and sang songs about Spurs and Auschwitz.
