I'm not in to lazy stereotyping.

Oh, I put a lot of effort into my stereotyping.

I wonder what's the worst word he'd be allowed to say to describe Nancy's 33 days in charge.

Pardew's "absolutely rapes him" comment is probably the worst thing I've heard someone say in a footballing context.

And not into facing up to the reality of the situation.


It would be as lazy as suggesting we on here are all as sporting as the Arsenal 1st team squad

Some are blessed with Sporting Skills, some with artistic skills , some with intellectual skills, some with medical skills, some with oratory skills etc etc. It is more common that people are usually blessed with one or another type of skill

WTAF? Initially I said that Given isn't an idiot, which I know having done some charity work with the fella.

Jeezo.

Someone saw the opportunity for an argument.

So that makes you an expert on all footballers and their intelligence, because you met 1 ex footballer. Incidentally an ex footballer who claimed not to know what the holocaust was. Not exactly a recommendation of his intelligence

None of that is even close to what I said...

There's a difference between knowledge and intelligence.

If you can point out where I claimed to be an "expert on all footballers and their intelligence" based on having worked with Shay Given a few years ago that'd be a starting point for the debate you seem keen on.

FIFA won't do anything, but it's a good thing that this has been raised:

I don't think that the same happened for Russia or Qatar.

Rugby Park was the venue for Talbot v Celtic yesterday.

The Green Brigade were out in full force, who have been banned from matches this season, and others.

Is that an anti Catholic thing, or is it just that they have a known element of Ultras amongst their support?

I've never managed to quite get to grips with Scottish sectarianism (probably through lack of interest).

But on a more serious note, I'm pleased to see that Preston NE are equal first in the Championship drawn matches competition. They won it last year.

To be fair, if you've never experienced it you'll never understand. And that's not a criticism of you in any way.
