It's Quiet - a new dawn

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Totally agree. I've heard more than one person claim we need to get rid of the "Ferns" as if they're similar players. It completely deluded, bordering on racist to put them in the same bracket.

Fernandinho was our best player last season before his first sending off. One of the most underrated players in the league.

really ? you can't actually be serious,.

 

[Shaelumstash]

Bordering racist? What the hell are you on about?

Two black guys with Fern in their name, they must be the same kind of player.

If Fernando was white, ginger, Scottish and called Davey McTavish, no one would compare his ability as a footballer to Fernandinho. As footballers they are absolute chalk and cheese.

For the record, I don't think people are being racist, I just think they're being lazy.

Maicon, but his time never overlapped where we played 4 Brazilians at the same time. Not our best signing.

Silvinho.

Keep digging.

It was a pathetic comment.

I think it's more "look similar-ist" than racist. Their skin tone being the same is only one part of that

What if they both had Fern in their same name? Fernandinho sits at the base of midfield. So does Fernando. That's why.

Not digging anything, lad. It was a joke, lighten up.

Hi Dwight.
How's that lad of yours?

It's deluded yes but it's not racist at all is it for fucks sake.

Did they say the same about Sane or Sterling or Kompany? If the answer is no then maybe said person just didn't fancy the two players with similar fucking names.

Jesus Christ this place is nuts at times.

Kante sits at the base of midfield. So does Danny Drinkwater. They're completely different players. No one ever makes the mistake of bundling them in to the same box because they don't look anything alike and their names aren't even vaguely similar.

If they both had a very similar name such as Drinkwater and Drinksalot and I didn't rate either then I'd say "get rid of the two drinks".

You're a bright lad, so I'm going to assume you've jumped the gun without reading properly.

Calm down, take a breath.

I don't think people are racist who compare Fernando and Fernandinho as footballers. It was a joke, which I've clarified above.

They are completely different players and anyone comparing them is just being lazy because their names are similar and they bare some physical similarities.

Two double-clarify, I don't think that's actually racist. Everybody calm down.

 

[SWP's back]

It does annoy me when commentators say it's a like for like substitution when one is replaced by the other.

 

[Shaelumstash]

But the point is, Kante and Drinkwater are completely different players with different attributes!!!! Same as Fernando and Fernandinho are!!!!

Bundling them in the same box because they have similar names is just lazy and uninformed.

enough now.

Exactly my point.

 

[2001bluesky]

So why have we suddenly fallen out of Fabinho?

 

[andyhinch]

Could call them the two Kante's

Nah they be called Wenger and Ferguson.
