Stop being such a load of drama queens. The club are just shutting this whole thing down now. That's all that's happening. I know everyone here feels emotionally exhausted because you've fought so hard and this looks like defeat but there's not really anywhere else to go. The club are killing the story. Yeah mostly this. I have more sympathy with Luis than you do though.

FFS! No one's saying that and you know this.

It's not though. It's about managing the agenda better. We've let others set it.

You're badly wrong on this PR thing smithdown. I get that you want a prinicipled stance and I get that there are parts of the media who hate the club and city and will go after us whatever. However had we had better PR we wouldn't be having it as rough as we are now. I don't see how you don't see that.

We've got to start Kuyt if even Earl wants him started

deffo getting overexcited here. I gave up after Stoke or Bolton. we get into a position where we could get into a position and then f*** up.

Did he never wonder why two of his kids were mixed race and why 3 were black. He was a doctor. He should have noticed.

Yeah I've been subjected but overt racism is by no means a defining characteristic of my life. It's not that regular and i wouldn't want anyone to think of it as such. It's just that this is a huge thread on the subject that's why I keep mentioning it. I'm not a member of any groups. I could pretrend it's because I'm not sure what they actually do and there is a danger of them being self-serving but in reality I'm probably too lazy. No but my mum was obsessed by The Cosby show when I was growing up. I must have seen every episode

Noone wants to get Lucased on the Hederson issue. it's genuinely that simple. Adam was awful for like 7 games or something mind. went to pot when Lucas got that knee bruise or whaterver it takes for modern footballers to cry out. My motto, if it's still at the right angle then you can play with it.

We're gonna Denmark 1992 this muthaf***a

Have we cleared up whether or not he actually said this btw or if it's a fake account or whatever you twitter folk suffer from

see also "Bounty Bar" I really hate it when directed at me. It's always been used at me by white people who reckon I'm not black because I'm not in prison or rapping or fighting or playing basketball or something and because I speak in a relatively middle class fashion. Normally the worrying part of the insult is that the person has in their head a very negative and narrow perception of black people. This results in anyone who doesn't fit that model, quite literally not being classed as black in their minds, hence why they genuinely only see aggressive black people. Black definitionally means stupid and aggressive to these people as you cannot be anything else if you are black. Obviously the idiot Powar is breaking down boundaries as ever in the use of the word. I don't agree with reporting him as t** for tat. Report him if you genuinely give a f*ck about the insult.

That is f*cking boss.

The Mancs win loads. they work harder at that. I do think we should have a better PR machine but we'll be a famous old club if we win nothing.

*cough*

All of the above is true

David Hodgson/Rob Gutmann, that is an outstanding piece of writing. I don't know know if the fat references cheapen it or not buy if they don't then that is brilliant.

Someone handcuffed themselves to a post in Goodison

superb today. Dominated Hunt to a ridiculous degree

What's happened to him btw? He used to be so handsome.

It's ridiculous. He operates in such a way that he consumes everything within a club mking it impossible for him to stay and impossible for it to survive his leaving as it's burnt out. He is ridiculously good at winning things tbf. That has to be stated. There are those of us who don't have the collective pre arsene amnesia that arsenal fans do following mourinho again?

Dirk was Dirk with goals in Holland
