xenophobic is too general. it really refers to all foreigners rather than just one nationality as in the above rather eloquent example. I think in this case they would be not be racist or xenophobic .... grossly stereotyping for sure but mainly just stupid!

I despise racism but some perspective is needed. If people try to take away my right to insult the French I will fight them.

Bloody hell it changes every week, I thought mixed race was the correct term, can't believe I've been left behind in the racial terminology of the moment. To be fair i'm rather tired, and can't sleep and when I first read it I thought it said mixed-spice! I need to get some sleep!

£8m not for me. Dedryk must be worth £10m now then.

I thought it was only half-caste that is a no-no nowadays?


If you're part Irish and part English you're mixed race. Nothing to do with your colour.


are you fuck mate. It's do with race. Racial differences that appear in features not skin colour. take an albino black guy for example, he still looks like a black guy. Has nothing to do with colour it's inherited features.

I'm half Italian and half english and i'm not mixed race.

Unfortunately, this is what I was thinking.

This feller has flewn under my radar and I don't think I've seen him ever play. At 20 and in club like Fulham (no offence), you'd think he'd be regular by now. But, two of the games big hitters battling it out for this kid, kind of tells me that he might be the real deal.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

I'm sure it'll all be dependent on appearances and England caps and trophies won so they'll have paid fuck all right now.
Hodgson didn't look like he had fought very hard to keep him in the interview I just saw. Anyone see his post match SSN interview? He just bent over and let Bacon do what he wanted by the sounds of things.

Maybe that's because Hodgson doesn't think he's worth 8million pounds. ;-)

Hold on guys.
Make the comparison with Sturridge and if you think what we got was fair outcome to the tribunal, then Taggart has paniced.
But I guess time will tell.
