Fake quote mate.
The TV station where he supposedly said this have come out and said he wasn't even on their show.

if i was standing on the sideline of one of my son's matches and a dad said to his son "Son, you let an Asian kid score against you" i'd probably kick the living shit out of him right then and there....
care to explain yourself?
cheers

Hart should be dropped because he has been making too many costly mistakes for too long. We will comeback and we will be challenging for the title. We have a fantastic squad. I'm gutted but I'm not getting carried away, I've been watching football too long to get carried away over 1 defeat.

What if the kids' Dad was built like a brick shit house?
I think he said the Asian comment as normally compared to other races Asian's are usually smaller and have a slighter build. it is a stereotype for sure but I don't think it was meant as a racist jibe?
Black people are generally bigger built than white people, for example.
In before 'thread locked due to thread derailed for racism'.

However I am a bit more realistic than some and realize that this season was always going to be a bit off a transitional season, totally changing our style off football. I believe we might struggle to finish top 4 this season and top 6 might end up being a more realistic expectation with a Cup win.
You have to look at things objectively, the problems that got Mancini sacked did not just go away, they are still there. Today’s performance was a typical City away performance; we just turn up at lower clubs expecting to win, arrogance, lack of worth ethic through out the side. This performance today would have had Mancini ripping his hair out and ranting on the touch line. I honestly believe Pellegrini was shell shocked at the Jekyl and Hyde performance off the players, to us it was typical City away, to him after last week it was wtf ?.I think he learned a lot today, Ya Ya does not travel well, Joe Hart is better at strutting his stuff on a catwalk lately than he is in his 6 yard box., Playing a high pressing game is suicide when you have defenders who run as if running in treacle and would struggle to trap a bag of cement. I also don’t think Dzeko will suite the new system long term because off his inability to control the ball when it is passed to him. I can see us eventually reverting back to Mancini style to cover for our defensive deficiencies after we ship 3 – 4 goals for a few games. I just don’t think we have the technically gifted players for this style to work yet.
I hope Pellegrini gets the time to deal with the egos in our side and either makes them perform consistently or ship them out of the club. I appreciate it is going to take time, but I am worried time might not be on his side with the 2 Spaniards. I think the job is going to be much bigger than they and some off our fans appreciate.I am not as optimistic about this season as some are, bar Newcastle we have been shipping goals for fun in the last few matches,for me we now look terrible defensively with the Champions League looming.
David Platt said on Al Jazzera Sport today if Mancini had stayed Joe Hart was to be replaced this season., I thought that was very insightful .

Because I didn't know he name. Is saying Chilean midget OK because i'm not sure of his name either. Was it Mede?
uncalled for slurs aside, neither of those fellas are decent enough to be well known to the general EPL public. Embarrassing that our two world class players were cast aside by such poor opposition.

Thank Christ he's gone then.
Relacing Hart at that point would have caused fucking chaos.
If he continues to drop bollocks this season, then the manager replaces him, people will accept it. But if he had gone at the start, the bad feeling would have been beyond estimation. Then imagine the new keeper makes a mistake ?
Hart kept us in the game twice first half, due to the Count's choice of picking Garcia, in spite of his criminally inept pre season showing.
Hart dropped one large bollock, Zabba two & the Count, a whole bunch of them.
What do you think about the rumours off him going over Mancini head to the board and demanding to be selected for the FA Cup Final ahead off Pants ?Ted Hughes wrote:zabbadabbado wrote:I have to be honest I did not expect us to lose this game today.
