Very well put.

Just when it looked like Micah Richards thought he'd be getting that England RB slot he so deserves..what a slap in the face! More seriously: as opposed to Terry, I'm more inclined to believe Pearce is innocent as he doesn't seem like an idiot in the way Terry does. Stuart Pearce like the Sex...

Yes, they take into account attitude & off-the-field factors as well. I think the bloke who won it 2 or 3 seasons ago got released by Exeter without ever playing a league game, but he'd studied hard and did well in his exams!

Interestingly, someone at the club a few years back said to me that Turner was "rubbish, they only like him 'cos he's built like a brick outhouse".

Do you live next door to Michael McIndoe?

This sounds like the words of someone who has lost an argument. I think it does make their opinion less valid, because if someone can't get their point over coherently, it implies that their argument lacks coherence. This is the principle upon which Democracy as a political system & The...

I was just as judgemental about Marlon King. I was the one banging on about how I saw his red coming in the "Match Events You Forecast" thread just the other day. I thought he was a lout: him being black had nothing to do with it. I thought Stern John was lazy, but so are Freddy Eastwood and...

Anyhoo, it's a good thing: 1) We've got rid of Fabio! He was crap-and not because he was foreign, just because he was outmoded and not up to the job. Should have gone after the WC: we might actually get out of the group stage now! 2) Terry is out of the team: good riddance! It was painful...

I don't remember saying it was a one way street. Just because I'm not interested in the cases which you seem slightly disturbingly obsessed with (IMO). I see you didn't deny my BNP label I attached to you? I can remember people saying "Enoch had the right idea" not that long ago, and people...

Also, I thought any racist offence was classed as a "hate crime" now? I think Wyken is getting hung up on semantics.

Maybe we should wait until he's found guilty or innocent, then we can do this all over again. Someone said "ah, all sorts gets said in the heat of a match, it's harmless"?-that sounds like the sort of excuse I expect from Terry, and that is racist and unacceptable. Just because they're playing...

Snow in Leam too. Although I'm still angry with you for your "Where's the snow? They said there'd be snow!" thread on Saturday at lunchtime..talk about tempting fate!

Good edit there, fella. 'Cos it sounded like they were angry with me! :p

You really just don't get it do you? Christ on a bike...I give up!

I'm sorry but you've just put yourself in the BNP box to my eyes. PC happened for a reason: to try and prevent prejudice. It used to be OK to call someone a "nigger". I'm sure we can all remember being at school, and if you picked up a penny, everyone shouted "Jew!" at you. It wasn't long ago...

Agreed Rob and I only raised it as someone used the "ginger" argument in a way I find very inappropriate: thousands of ginger people have not at any point been carried over an ocean away from their homeland to serve as slaves. When someone claims that "anti-black is just as bad as anti-ginger"...

No, quite old, and felling fucking patronised now! I just really hate racism, I'm passionate about it. Very. As the song by Coventrys finest says, "If you know a racist who says he is your friend, Now is the time, now is the time, For that friendship to end". I've lived those lyrics out a...

This is one of the most ignorant things I have ever read. There are not equal opportunities for black managers, and that is due to racism in the game. The reason there should be more is to redress the balance. It is not as equal at the moment as it should be. To compare having ginger hair to...

To be honest, saying John Terry is probably racist because IMO he's an utter cock is not, by any means, "like saying all black young men in London are knife merchants because there dressed in there hoodies." The latter relies on a racist pre-conception. The other is my opinion (and not racist)...

She's not Captain of Labour MP's and expected to lead a dressing room full of people she's insulted, though. Plus MP's are generally less of an icon to the youth than the England captain. Apart from William Hague in his baseball cap "phase", obviously!
