banana Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Time to look on the bright side of life. New manager, keen, will play exciting football. Richards to spurs or wherever, money into the club. Germany aint gonna win the world cup. Its been a nice summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banana Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 BBC 2004 ???????, bit old now. I try to ignore the BBC anyway, totally biased. Think they know whats best for everyone just because they've all been to university. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they know whats best for everyone just because they've all been to university. hahahaha Who do you turn to then? Sky? The Daily Mail? The Onion? The fella down the pub? The BBC, for all it's flaws, is painfully unbiased. So much so they put 'balance' where it shouldn't be, in articles and documentaries about things like homoeopathy and chiropractic 'medicine'.

NIKI1234 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) Irrelevant. How is it irrelevant? I was pointing out that i have heard it at games of the team we all support. Doesnt mean that the rest of the crowd are racists as it doesnt mean the rest of spain are racists otherwise you could reply to that post also with the comment "irrelevant" Edited July 8, 2010 by NIKI1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt mean that the rest of the crowd are racists as it doesnt mean the rest of spain are racists otherwise you could reply to that post also with the comment "irrelevant" Because we're discussing the racists in Spain and not Oldham. I don't doubt for a second Oldham is full of racist nutbags, but it detracts from the debate about the Spanish by diluting the point.

garcon Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Somewhat more relevant would be that anyone who bothered could quite easily dig up at least as many stories of racist behaviour by Germans and Dutch than Spanish... And I try not to mix politics and sport. I want Spain to win because they play by far the best football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok, As you will see the original post was nothing to do with racism either.... So to clarify its ok for one person to then bring Racism into the thread but then nobody else can argue against it. We must all agree that Spain is a racist country and should not try to dilute this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorrro Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I want Spain to win because they play by far the best football. Really? I think you're exaggerating a touch. Someone told me they were mesmerising in the first half yesterday; that'll be the first time this tournament, then. Germany have had three games where they looked incredible.

garcon Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Ok, by far the best style of football, IMO. I just love the way they play, second only to Brazil. Germany have been almost as good, but in a different way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
