Shak

How has it been half arsed? We have signed NOBODY!! If we can't sign the players we want we should be signing other players, just for the sheer sake of it. We clearly have the money, may as well just spend it for the laugh if nothing else.

Is it cynical to suggest that part of the reason the proposal was rejected is precisely this. Chance to paint your biggest rivals in a bad light. I'm sure they know full well that the minutes silence won't be observed by some City fans, so why actually try and go through with it?

Take a fucking hike you prick. Again, any reasonable person can see what I meant and never meant anything derogatory by it. Again, sorry if I've offended anyone as it genuinely was never my intention.

No, I said that it's been pretty much shown that they haven't been as succesful in specialised positions in sport that are more cerebral than others, which nobody has offered anything in response to other than "Ooh, you're such a big racist". I'm not saying i disagree, infact - i really don't have an opinion on such matters, but i don't understand why you're so surprised, Shak. Your post was always going to ignite an argument. What was the point man? You're right like. Just a bit annoyed that people are taking it so badly and I'm such a big racist scum all of a sudden when I didn't mean anything bad by it, just stating something which I saw to be pretty obvious.

Black people are simply better athletes than white people. Faster, more agile and generally just more explosive on the whole. No real point deluding ourselves and trying to be PC about it, it's a stonewall fact. Conversely, white folks are, by and large, better equiped at the cerebral side of sports (i.e reading what is going on around them and making decisions) You need only look at american football to see this. In the positions where speed and athleticism are crucial, like running-back, reciever or cornerback, you will do well to find a white person in the entire league. You get some wide-recievers, admittedly, but most of these are "slot recievers" who generally are expected to work the middle of the field and spot open space in zone coverages (which further illustrates my point) rather than be big playmakers. On the other hand pretty much all the elite QB's, for my money the most mentally challenging position is sport, are white guys. There are exceptions to the rule of course, but this is the way it generally goes. What utter bollocks. Well, you've certainly disproven the arguement there. What argument? Do you really consider your sort of infantile reasoning an argument? It's racism dressed up in a spurious series of statements designed never to be able to be gainsaid and therefore not (in your world) disproven; any contrary statements serve only to confirm you in your prejudices. Your racist patter has no intellectual credibility whatsoever. Whatever. If acknowledging very obvious differences between people of different races makes me a racist then I guess I'm a racist. Good guess. Strange, I'd always assumed there was some element of discrimination involved. You generally attribute qualities' or lack of them' to people on the basis of their race (black people run faster, whites are more cerebral). This is racism. As I said, there are exceptions. But yes. Generally, in sports, this is the case. Are you telling me its just a big coincidence that the 10 greatest NFL quarterbacks of all time are white, while the 10 greatest running backs are all black? Again, apologies if you're offended, but I really don't see the point in blindly pretending that there aren't differences between different races of people that make some of them more suitable for certain things than others.

Yeah, lots of sprinting involved in weightlifting alright.

Just a joke mate.

What horribly un-intelligent football this is...

Who said anything about IQ's? If I've offended anyone with my comments I do apologise, as much as I believe them to be pretty accurate. I would back Shak up. I always thought the Amercian Football comparison was a good example. Cheers. I really don't see what's racist about acknowledging the obvious differences between different races of people, whatever makes some of you feel high and mighty though. JOKE. Not you mate

I'm sure much of it is to do with the standard overall being lower so the good players look immense when really they're not.

See Rooney, Wayne. We won't be signing Richards in my opinion either, but really who in the "BIG 4~!" is likely to go for Richards? Can't see either Man U or Liverpool going for him, Chelsea maybe but I doubt it as well. Only really Arsenal as far as I can see.

'All' being a City fan and someone with a bet on? I meant Indi mostly tbf, didn't want to seem confrontational though.

Why are we all cheering for City exactly? Not bothered who wins really, great game though.

Bet Dave shat himself as that corner floated out towards Rooney.

Dawson really coming into his own alright.

Eight fingers on each hand and all. He "flipped me off" once, as the Americans say. Most confusing experience of my life.

Eh, the general consensus is that most of our players are shite, tbh.
