No offence, but that's bollocks.

I like hearing "no offence", because it's always followed by something certain to offend. It's a bit like "I'm not racist but...", which invariably precedes a sentence that proves beyond doubt that the person is indeed a massive racist.

One reason for people using the phrase "I'm not racist but" is a defence mechanism. It is often used by people who are not racist but know that others see racism everywhere - I even had someone object to my calling Edward IIIs eldest son "The Black Prince". What a pity that BM who is usually one of the most thoughtful posters seems to have proved my point with the use of the words "invariably" and "beyond doubt".
 
As someone whose understanding of football is stuck in the days of Stanley Matthews I am frequently confused by 21st Century football terminology.
Now Sven keeps refering to "winning the second ball". What is the second ball? Presumably there are first balls but are there third balls or is it all a load of balls.

I've only ever heard people say it in front of proclamations like "(situation x) is because of all the Pakis", or "the black lads don't like working", or "I don't like coloureds" (all real ones by the way). What I'm saying is, DG, I've never heard it used ahead of a sentence free of racial prejudice or nonsensical skin colour-based stereotype.

As for people who see racism everywhere, I have to agree. Your example is patently ludicrous and whoever that person was needs to have a word with themselves. It's not just racism either. Recently, I had a conversation with a young lady, and she all but accused me of being homophobic, deliberately and massively misquoting me in the process. Needless to say, she was quickly and firmly corrected.

Radio Five Live has just told we listeners that Manchester United will be playing a team with more legs this afternoon: do you think that emulating this would help us? :icon_bigg

Ah yes - because Tuesday's defeat was all down to Ricardo.

Obviously. The whole bad run is.


I wouldn't actually be suprised to see Sven put Weale back in today though, although Ricardo hasn't really done much/anything wrong.
 
Poor.
