He'll learn. Who's ever heard of an 18-year old striker ripping 'em apart in the Premier League?

There must be something installed on it. Try double-pressing the Home button and see what programs are running. Edit: there's quite a lot if it about try Googling: 'iphone making calls on its own'

The season ended weeks ago.

And Swansea this season.

When the fixture list was announced I never in a million years thought that neither team would have anything to play for.

Brilliant goal. He made it look easy.

Indeed. I'm surprised at this result but very pleased.

I watched that game and I thought he was fair to both teams.

Bloody 'ell. Was that both knees?

I've always wanted a groin strain.

I strongly disagree. There's nothing wrong with celebrating differences but to do that entirely on the basis of colour is fundamentally wrong.

I only ask these questions in order to encourage us to examine established viewpoints. My point about these comedians is that they constantly remind that we have different skin colours. If somebody has been born and bred in British culture then why should skin colour matter. People are peopl, fat or thin, good or bad.

Hmm, very interesting.

No you don't, but who is perpetuating racism here? Jeremy Clarkson or the person who thought it right to publish this video to the world?

Yeah, I find this quite racist. He is making a distinction between people based on the colour of their skin. In fact, I don't think I have ever heard a black comedian not refer to the fact that they are black. I'm nearly 65 and I long for the day when we can stop differentiating between different races. The colour of the skin is no more important that the colour of the hair or the colour of the eyes. I fear that I shall have to live a long time so long as people insist on perpetuating the distinction.

You could always make one of these: [video=youtube;oaw-savyK0s]

1. Any recording was never intended for publication. We don't even know if what he mumbled was an untouched recording. 2. A genuine question: Why is the rhyme racist?

You can't compare this 'private' behaviour to the slave trade, surely? Look, there is nothing inherently racist in the use of this word of itself. It's just an easy way for the PC brigade to jump on you. Whilst we're on the subject: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/dec/04/man-cleared-racial-abuse-endearment

And The Bible.

I've just watched the Mirror video. There are two versions, one presumably intended for transmission and one where he mumbles. Knowing what the wording of the rhyme was originally it is possible to fill in your own interpretation of his mumble but this is nowhere near conclusive. Someone has passed this recording to the Mirror, presumably for money but they may have thought they were doing the cause of race relations a good service, but we have no proof that this is the original unexpurgated version, apart from any confession he may feel it necessary to grudge together. It would never stand up in court.

It wasn't racist then, was it?

I know what you mean. A lady friend of mine was at London Zoo and got too close to the gorilla cage. Before she knew it she had been grabbed by a large silverback who dragged her back to his den and proceeded to have his evil way with her. By the time the keepers had managed to sedate him he had ravaged her at least 18 times and she was covered in bites in bruises but thankfully was alive. I went to see her in hospital and asked how she felt. "How do you think I feel?", she said, "It's been three days and he hasn't phoned... hasn't visited me... hasn't sent me any flowers..." So, how is Mrs DP feeling these days?

Well I renewed my two this morning at the Ticket Office. £1474 lighter I am now the proud owner of a bit of paper with two seat numbers scribbled on it. Good news 1 - no charge for cards at the TO, neither debit nor credit. Good news 2 - 1 hour free parking Bad news 1 - There was a queue of one ahead of me and I had to wait 10 seconds whilst another cashier was called over Bad news 2 - The wind was quite fresh and chilly down there, fancy making an old man like me stand there in the cold for 10 minutes. Bad news 3 - No comfy sofa, cup of tea and chocolate biscuit Oh, and last year they printed my tickets on the spot, this year they will be posting them in July, presumably because the season hasn't ended yet.

Losing manager blames the referee - we don't here that very often.
