  1. Surely only 'bird' can be objected to, nowadays a sexist expression, 'big' is a little bit iffy for a woman (not a man). Using the word 'black' to identify someone in a team of mostly white players, I don't see a problem.

    No obviously . Tall striker may be , big , white and bird no! 

    Ok, so if an African team happened to field a white player and Turks mentioned the 'white girl', would that be acceptable?

    Batman, the point here is whether calling someone a "big black bird" is acceptable. It isn't. 

    If the rest of the team were black and the tall girl up front was white, would 'big white bird' be acceptable? Just asking for a friend.

    Enjoying Future Islands. The front man is an interesting character. Clearly pours his heart and soul into the performance.

    To be fair, I do like Future Islands.

    They can just pop on here to find all that out. Money saved there not replacing him.

  7. Reports of possible Iranian attack on US airbase in Qatar. I’m supposed to be flying into Doha next week for a connecting flight down to Tanzania FFS 😯

    Israel clearly don’t fuck around and overly care about collateral damage but estimated Palestinian deaths are 57k and of those thought to be 11-13k Hamas fighters.

    Population of Gaza Strip is 2.1million. 

    So as barbaric as some of the IDF tactics seem if they were just wilfully wanting to kill hospital patients and innocents those casualties would be massively higher.

     

    As genocides go, it’s a pretty poor effort

    When was the last time the Southampton owner stated the intention to spend hundreds of millions on capacity and facilities upgrades at the stadium?

    Did he actually say this? Genuine question, I've only seen snippets on X from Blackmore and AlfiHouse and not seen this quoted.

    Dragan Solak confirming in interview this week they are looking to invest "hundreds of millions" on "changes on the capacity of the stadium and facilities around".

     

    You've had about six hours to bump this thread, poor going on your part.

    Stuart Pearce stood in front of me watching the Buzzcocks last night in Guildhall Square.

    Previously Kevin Keegan and the Man City squad at Manchester Airport. Jason Dodd and Chris Nicholl at David Lloyd.

    Buzzcocks are nothing without Pete Shelley

  12. I once nutmegged Rueben Agboola in a five-a-side, didn't bump into him but was past him in a flash.

    Met with Malcolm Waldron a long time ago when he was working as a salesman and then years later discovered I was working with his daughter.

    I was on the same flight to Paris as Robert Pires the day after the 2003 Cup Final, didn't bump into him but should have.
