Iain Dowie is about as handsome as a melted welly. Doesn't say much for me then mate; )

I remember screaming ugly cunnt at him at Southampton one time, unfortunately he just smiled at me and looked even worse

“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."

No one is going to remember this in a week. Except of course if you start a completely unnecessary and drawn out legal fight about it.

You think the media will forget? You don't think they will ever mention it again even though it feeds the city hating narrative?

Or Peter Reid alongside a chimpanzee that clearly looks like Reid....

The chimpanzee would be mortified if it seen a photo of Peter Reid.

I honestly dont get it.

If my boss put a picture of me next to the milkybar kid is he racist? No, hes having a giggle because someone once said I looked like the milkybar kid.
IF my friend put a picture of my face next to Barney Rubble because in the pub someone said I looked like Barney Rubble, is that racist? No, its having a bit of fun because someone said I looked like a chartoon character.

I cannot for the life of me fathom why that doesnt work both way.

If someone put a picture of Mendy next to Fred flintstone is that racist? No.

Then how on earth can putting a photo of Mendy next to a black cartoon any different to any of the above! Ive never seen anything so pathetic in all my life.

People saying 'its not PC, and people MAY be offended' its bollocks. Absolutely bollocks. White people being offended on behalf of black people is all I see! ffs!

Absolutely nothing. Doesn't Rooney get compared to Shrek? What is the difference??

You can say what you want to green skinned ogres they have no feelings.

Beautifully put.

Sky been pushing a six match ban ever since the story broke

In some perverse way, they probably think by being the shit stirrers in chief of this, they are countering Les Ferdinand calling them out over racism earlier this year. What Sky responded with, the next day - ignoring allegations against themselves, was a remedial programme on race headed by Mike Wedderburn. Glib work by sky and disappointed in Mike for being used like that.

I think we all know deep down that culturally it can be interpreted as quite a bit different. Bernardo needs to take it on the chin, learn from it and move on.

I'm sorry but I don't. Please enlighten how that can be interpreted.

this is a joke and a target simple

manchester city have to come out and stop this crap NOW ?? never in a million years is it racist, also skysports hatchet job in the everton after match was outrageous and a witch hunt and somebody from the club needs to take them to court and stop them, some of the stuff i was listening to by so called football pundits was below the belt, and one was from a former manchester city player that clearly has issue with the club (andy hinchcliffe)

City never fight back , they take any shit that’s thrown at them
