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!!

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
