Do people find that they are embarrased or uncomfortably with admitting they are white and proud of it, in the same way that someone would say that they black and proud of it, or is it too outrageous of me to even ask such a question? I hope not because I do see why there should be a problem.

Anybody brave enough to predict scores or outcomes for the games this weekend? I'm not going to tempt fate just in case I put the kiss of death on them.

Is it me, or do David Bentleys comments on Theo Walcott having to leave the Arsenal if he wants to get 1st team football smack of sour grapes???? Bentley was shown the door because he became a Billy Big Bollocks who believed his own hype. Unlike Mr. Bentley, Theo has enough courage to stay and fight for his place and turned in a good perforamance against AC. Still at least Bentley has bettered himself. >:D

FA have insisted that the club pay the guy ?14,000 on the basis that Grays have, in their opinion, breached FA regulations in terminating the players contract. If Grays fail to cough up, the club could be suspended from all football. Nice one FA!!! Let's help grass roots football by kicking it in to touch.

The has actually been given an 8 stretch Jah, so I guess he's got what he deserves. I admire the directors stand and, not for the first time, am saddened by the FA's decision. Yet again they lead me to wonder what planet they live on.

I've just seen this on the BBC Website regarding a player jailed for 8 years for his part in an armed robbery. When they found out that he had not told his club, Grays Atletic,the truth about his involvement they issued him with a 14 day notice of termination. Is the Director right or wrong? From what I've read, I think the director is spot on. Discuss forumites. "We are being forced to pay approximately ?14,000 to a player who only had three training sessions and 20 minutes in a pre-season friendly due to his involvement in a heinous crime which saw a young father shot in cold-blood. "Unfortunately my principles will not allow me to pay this money from either my own pocket, or from the club's, and the directors are of the same opinion"

Sean, sure I have a home but I had to work to get it and I don't have wealthy parents who helped out. They came here in 1955 with ?5 so I kind of understand the blokes plight, but I was nonetheless angry because I felt betrayed and let down.

I'm not sure the middle class would know what a chav is even if one spat their chewing on the pavement in front of them.

I will relate an incident which made me feel I'd been treated less favourably than a recent arrivee (if such a word exists) from the african continent. I'd been made redundant and went along to the local job centre like a responsible citizen to sign on. I was told that I wasn't entitled to anything other Job Seekers allowance, becuase I own my own home and my wife works part time. So I couldn't claim housing benefit or income support even though I've got two kids to support and a mortgage to pay. While I was having this one way conversation with a monosylabic advisor a guy sat down at the next desk, who had apparently just arrived from eithee Somalia or Ethiopia, I can't remember which. He was told, via an interpretor that he could have all of these things and more. Now call me picky but he hasn't contributed to the economy, may do in the future, and was being given everything I was not entitled to. I was born here, and I've been working since 1973, so I though that my National Insurance Cons, and the tax I'd paid would be a plus point in this respect. WRONG. So yeah, I felt discriminated against. Not because he was black and I'm white, but because of the injustice of the system. I agree it wasn't the other guys fault, but I felt discriminated against nonetheless and very, very angry. But you can see how some may see that as people black people gaining better treatment than a white person.

I have to say that a lot of white people are beginning to feel more and more marginalised for various reasons. They feel that they get less favourable treatment in respect of benefits, housing, and education. They feel that the people who have recently arrived from places such as eastern europe and africa are given priority over them. They also feel that are strangers in their own land. I know this will not sit comfortably with many forumites but I hear people saying these things when I'm out and about, I'm not saying I agree but understand their ire. It's interesting to note that a lot Turkish Cypriots who have been here since the 50's believe that white English people are discriminated against in respect of the above. Again, I don't agree 100% but I hear this discussed a lot in the Turkish Cypriot community and they believe it to be true.

People chewing gum at any time is disgusting, male or female, it's disgusting. An alarming number of people seem to do it on trains first thing in the morning. WHY!!!!!!! You only have to look at footabll managers standing on the touchline to see just how revolting it looks, take Allardyce and Fergusmoan as perfect examples of the nauseous art of gum chewing at its' worst. Or alterantively chav girls of say 15 or 16 with blank almost bovine expressions on their faces. Yeeeeuch. Just the tought of it makes me heave.

8 goals against in 2 games, things are not looking rosy on the good ship West Ham at moment, and I have to say I wanted them to do well against Lokomotiv Fulham. Curbs seems to have the Midas touch in reverse!!

I'm not saying Noble is a bad player, just that he isn't as good as Matty at the moment. He may become a great player who knows, but I don't think he's at good as Matty right now.

I've heard that too, but unless Le Boss knows something or sees something in him that I've failed to see, I'd rather hang onto Flamini. No disrespect to Noble but he ain't in the same league as Matty.

I can understand why like minded people want to hang out together but how are we "hetties" meant to gain a greater under of the issues/problems faced by the gay community if they isolate and segregate themselves from "hetties". I'm just curious.
