He was wrong to profile only black lads as there are plenty of examples of white lads born on the "wrong side of the tracks". He was wrong to mention the individuals names without their permission. He was wrong to suggest the individuals he named were saved from a life of crime by football when clearly that was not the case. He was wrong to besmirch the families of the individuals he named. Everything about that interview was plain wrong, there are absolutely no positives to be found...........

Within all that awfulness I would like to highlight Spain 1982 as being not that bad. Played 5, won three, drew 2 lost 0 It was the year there were two group stages, in the second group stage we had West Germany and Spain and we drew both games 0-0. I am not saying we would have won the World Cup that year but we had a couple of injuries (Coppell and Keegan) and if memory serves me (which I would not rely on), we came close to beating Spain. Despite all of the above I agree that Southgate gets unfair criticism........... -
*Cough*, young people have problems in society, no need to profile just one section of those young people. I am not saying he is a racist but there was no need to single out young black men and there was absolutely no need to name people individually if you are trying to make a general point, particularly if you have not sought permission from those individuals, we now have two ex NCFC players and at least one current NCFC player who are unhappy with his comments.............

I really do not know, he has been a registered racehorse owner in the past so the assumption I have made from all of this is that he had some involvement with the horse otherwise he would not be under investigation.. As Midlands Canary has posted the race looks like it was thrown, the jockey that day has previous and had been banned earlier in the season for "not trying". I am not making any judgement on Ashley Barnes or his father in law, if they were part owners of the horse it does not necessarily follow that they knew anything or had anything to do with instructing the jockey, we will have to wait to see what the results of the BHA investigation are..........

I do not disagree with the sentiment, however we now have players losing the strength in their legs when their shirt gets a very light tug and players feigning injury to get a fellow professional sent off, that is not right either. I do not want players going around kicking sevens shades of **** out of each other but I am equally sick of the rolling around in fake agony and players throwing themselves to the floor at the slightest touch. 11 a-side football is and has always has been a contact sport and a balance needs to be struck between the old days and how it is now........... -

Is that a season ticket at Portaloo Rd?................. -
How about this one - A bloke is in a hot air balloon totally lost, he decides to drop the balloon as low as he dares to ask a walker he has spotted for help, "Excuse me can you tell me where I am?", "You are about 75 feet in the air, standing in a whicker basket suspended from an envelope filled with propane" replied the walker, "You are an accountant aren't you" replied the balloonist, "Yes, how on earth did you know that?" replied the walker, "Because whilst what you told me is 100% factually correct it is absolutely **** all use to me"...............

Thanks for the heads up Kathy. I hoped we might get to host a game, fantastic news to find out that we will......... -
I think there is really only one solution to this. You need to have a word with Mr Attanasio and see if there is any way you and your money can join him on the board. This is the only way I can see of keeping you happy, harnessing your corporate knowledge and experience and sorting the clubs finances out for the better.............
