Maybe because, unlike the dimwitted FA, the CPS know that they cannot prosecute someone in an English court for using a term in Spanish that isn't, per se, racist? Maybe, unlike 5live, they realise that pretending it was used and pronounced like an English word would only lead to a successful prosecution in an FA committe a Kangaroo court.

The table may not say so, but are Villa relegation candidates? They are absolutely dire. They'd even have trouble in the Chumpionship.

As for City, this looks to be a team running out of steam, yet they can still grind out results.

On the face of it yes, however they will probaly be saved by the total ineptability of other clubs below them

Although I would love for QPR to go down, but again Wigan, Wolves and Bolton are excellent candidates.

---

I wouldn't be so sure. Villa 2 points from a possible 21 in the most recent 7 games at Villa Park. That is beyond shite.

Yes Villa were awful, except at the end when Citeh got nervy, but that isn't the way to approach a game. Citeh will be alright as Yaya Toure comes back next week, and that is a massive boost to them.

Probably why they are now looking at Tevez back, he has had a long rest and will be like a new signing..................very clever

---

Not too sure about that , in this politically correct world we live in and promote fair play and want to get Racism out of sport and while the shaking of hands is part of the pre match protocol then players have to shake hands.

---

QPR have only 4, that includes a win against the bottom club Wigan

---

Yes, but my argument has been that we should get rid of 'shaking hands'. I can't remember whether Bridge and Terry shook hands after the latter played 'hide the salami' with the former's missus.

I'm assuming the opportunity came up, although I can't remember because Bridge doesn't exactly register on my radar.

I may be wrong here, but wasn't that the episode which led to Terry losing the England captaincy prior to the last World Cup?

---

It was. I can't remember whether they met on the field of play though.

Ok fair enough

John Terry tried to shake Wayne Bridges hand but Bridge wasn't interested

---

Seems like the mods listened to the puritannical, 'outraged of Tonbridge Wells' types who didn't appreciate a bit of on-the-edge jokery.

---

I did wonder where half the thread was, pity becuase in it were quite frank statements from Gooner and I that may have led to a risky but enlightening discussion.

---

I didn't see anything Jas, I wasn't there

---

You'll probably find that some buttock clenching numpty complained.

How Mick Mccarthy can not be sacked is beyond me - he can have any number of bad results - and say things wil improve - but dont

Anyway - its odds on favourite that Wolves will be in the championship next year - cannot see them escaping the drop

---

along with Wigan, Bolton,Blackburn,QPR  3 from the 5 I would say

---

Someone did complain. You guys know me, I'm hardly a prude and can be more than a little controversial, but in the context of this site as a whole, it would have just led to problems.

Saint, behave or I'll slap your ass you bad boy 😛

LOL, the 'Queen' Kenny apology meltdown thread on RAWK.

Warning - bad language and pi$$poor grammar

http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=286632.0

Just out of curiosity, would he/she be regarded as a football fan? Or simply someone who popped in and had palpitations because their idea of irony is a device one presses clothes with??

Man up and complain on here, if you're up to it. Don't sneakily complain to mods.

Define football fan? Ironically there aren't that many that post regularly in this thread.

Obviously I can't disclose, but I will say that he/she wasn't on their own.

---

Bugger!! I've missed something.

Saint, repost it.............I dares ya

My take is that Suarez is a horrible sort of chap right up there with Craig Bellamy, but then Evra is not blameless in all this. The group of individuals that are most at fault however are the Premier league, they made too much of the original incident (there I have said it, I'm far from being a racist and don't want it in football or society, but a conversation between 2 people on a football pitch should remain between the two) and they have allowed this to happen by not being proactive in preventing it.

I do agree with Nick as well, a load of fuss about very little.

---

I also put in a post yesterday that the comments should be removed from TWO as someone would find them offensive.

I am no prude and can have a laugh all day long but in this politically correct world it wasn't right that such an excellent site like this with great people on it should have left the comments on for all to see.

I have a black friend ( more than one actually ) who commented last weekend " if it snows any harder I won't see you" it is all humour , some can take it some can't............................it aint worth the risk
