Not sure than the position in the table is a reflection of his talent, I think Sanchez is a steal at the price we paid for him. Great talent, and our best signing since Henry and Bergkamp.

Basically a perfect microcosm of all that is wrong with the modern world


a) twitter 'storm' as news (or 'miss miss, barry called you a slag')

in fact b) twitter

c) the democratisation of stupidity

d) people sharing the stupidest stuff without thinking

but most of all

e) people getting so fecking offended by everything the whole time, usually hypothetically on other people's behalf.


Pikeys the lot of them!!!!

He didn't really understand that a minorly crass attempt at anti-racism had clearly been edited in order to make it racist.

That makes him a bit of an idiot, albeit in this case a vaguely well meaning idiot.


None of which is really the point.


To reiterate AM's point, given his background any attempt at a racism smear should be laughable, but never underestimate people's ability to be offended on the off chance that someone somewhere may theoretically be!!

I have never agreed with the defence of - I can say that 'cos I'm half black/jewish/irish / my mums a muslim etc


all the more reason for not joining in with racist rubbish


I'm not making this point on the balotelli issue (on which I agree with El Pibe) - just a general thought cos it annoys me when people defend themselves in this way - its not a justification.

Today at work this colleague was horrified that the most popular boys name in 2014 was Muhammad or so she read. She didn't want to discuss it with me without my having said anything meaningful anyway. Anyway I had to leave early to go to the dentist but found this article and sent it to her:

I didn't get any reply. By the way my appointment was with the beautiful Dr.Islam.


The question is, is it safe for me to go to work tomorrow?


* When I say she didn't want to discuss it, it appeared to me that it was because she didn't want anyone to disagree with her that this was happening in her beloved country.

good article AM, not entirely sure why its in here.

But yes, all its revealing of is a tremendous lack of imagination among muslims when naming their kids ;)


Jes?s has massively fallen out of favour in Spain, though Mar?a still dominates...spaniards do tend to obsess about their mothers so no surprise the holy mother still wins!!

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying. 
    • Hello, Does this lovely little panther have a name? & Is he neutered & microchipped?
