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:


http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/ampp3d/muhammad-isnt-uks-most-popular-4726470


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!!

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
