Sol: Dock points for racist chants
Portsmouth captain Sol Campbell has called on the English Premier League to dock points from clubs whose fans are found guilty of indecent and racist chanting.
"The only way you can stop it happening is by taking points from clubs," the former England and Tottenham Hotspur defender told the Guardian newspaper.
Campbell has been the target of verbal abuse from Spurs fans since leaving to join arch-rivals Arsenal in 2001. In January 11 supporters were charged with indecent chanting towards him during a league match between Portsmouth and Spurs last year.
