Banned for drink driving and on his bike.

[Barry the bird boggler]

Well he'll be in the right place seeing as all he can drive currently is a bicycle.

[Cobi]

Is his contract up at the end of that, or are we stuck with him?

[loyalroyal4life]

Anelka and Manset upfront,

[RFCMod]

In the local press out there they reckon Drogba will sign in the next few weeks,I can't see Anelka staying out there for that long

Don't panic Snowball. I think he was winding you up. I doubt you will get banned from hobnob for life. It would be a disater if you did - no more very long stat threads - apart from the ones I start of course!

Appalling, ignorant, and indeed REPORTED

[Eaststandman]

The word, 'Chink' as applied to somebody of Chinese origin may be deemed 'racist' by some, but is it sufficient evidence to condemn Snowball so completely to being a 'racist'?

Where do words like, paddy, taffy, jock, brit, etc, fit in this level of lexicon?

Yellow card, (if you'll excuse the pun) but surely not worthy of a red?

Xenophobia. They aren't races.

How does a term become pejorative, must it be accompanied by a tone of voice, conventionally accepted slur or what then?
