I think we should actually win a prize for having three nicknames, and Liverpool should be relegated for having one crap one. I mean, "Reds". Really.

I just think its lucky he said black and not Negre (as in the word for the colour black) Now that would be dicey?

I think Nigels Tackle should run his posts by Evra or Anton first in future.

This. It's a name others - especially the media way back when - use for us but we never use it. Hate it.

I seem to remember someone else making a few disparaging remarks about a "black, French" member of this board.

McLaren once called me an asylum seeker and told me to fuck off back from whence I came (not so eloquently, obviously). Luckily for him, the thread in question was deleted - but I and a few others remember it.

I don't know whether he was confused by my username or the photo in my sig. Embarassing for him either way.

Haha. Man I hate those fucking 'decorative' stars.

Still, if we win the league this season they're suddenly relevant. Or if we win another FA Cup. Each could stand for two.

I dont remember McLaren?

In fairness I cant understand racist football fans, banter is one thing but abuse is another, they are happy to cheer on rainbow nations on the pitch but should a polishman who works twice as hard for half the pay move in next door they go mad?

To be fair mate there are many on here who arent die hard but the phrase...

"Citizens "crap" "

Is probably not the best way to phrase a question when you dont know the answer.

Something along the lines of

"where did this Citizens name spring up from"

Pretty sure all on here are happy to help, but a sweeping statement like yours is bound to rile a few.
