Sour Mash

They're a bunch of absolute morons that go out onto the streets like that, but comparing them to people that chop others heads off or blow up tube trains full of innocent people is a bit nuts don't you think?

I don't think Boateng was out of contract. And you don't think there would be demand for a player of Amorebieta's quality available on a free transfer? Fair enough.

So you have no idea which players are and aren't in demand? Fair enough.

But they'd be in demand, so it doesn't apply.

Well that doesn't really apply to Fulham's signings.

Just out of interest, where is the cup going to be kept in the future?

Plenty of complaints about that over the years as you well know. No-one had any complaints about Bo Selecta and his Southern Fried Chicken.

So how come the 'Bo Selecta' TV series was allowed to run for so long?

Those Twitter accounts are all a load of sh*te.

No Delgado?

What about all those that refer to the French as "Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys"? A horrible reference to a very dark time in french history and a phrase that must bring suffering to french people daily.

So suggesting people eat a certain type of chicken is the same as chucking missiles at footballers? Very strange logic.

We'll obviously never know, but I doubt they'd have done this to a black soldier.

Terrible attempt at trolling. You didn't get one bite.

Derek Boateng and Fernando Amorebieta. Two good signings, plus think they're close to getting Stekelenburg from Roma. They need a big shake up as had a poor finish to last season, look a tired squad, have a fair few players out of contract and there was a bit of doubt over Jol's head as stated above.

Probably worth claiming that one then really.

But no-one is able to explain why it's racist? Fried chicken is very popular with black people in the US is it not? Lots of aspects of current black american culture can trace its roots back to slavery, language, accent, music - does referring to any of these being popular also constitute highly offensive racism?

Give me examples? I've seen tons of American tv and films, studied American Civil Rights History, never once seen a derogatory reference in this regard. Suggesting someone would like to eat a certain type of food or shouting at them in an aggressive way "Paki" are completely different things.

Dennis Wise? Can't be classed as coming through the ranks though, as he only made it half way through them so to speak.

You think he'd be happy knowing he'd be writing off his place in his national squad which he's only recently won? The idea that the whole Forren signing is some ingenious plan, part of the "Southampton Way" is nuts.

It's racist to throw a banana at a black player because it is suggesting they are similar to a monkey - no-one wants to me compared to a monkey, so it is offensive. The term "Paki" is offensive because it has often been used in strong and aggressive abuse of people of South Asian origin. What are the Fried chicken jokes that have been told for years that everyone knows are highly offensive which are comparable to the above?

In all seriousness Fulham have already been very busy (although they needed to be), they've clearly been targeting a few signings for a while.

Centre forward for Roma, third highest scorer in Serie A this season, was at Espanyol under MP. Looks good. Bit of a slow/mixed start to his career. 27 years old. Not sure why he'd come to us apart from money and/or the MP connection.

Why is eating lots of fried chicken a slur? How do you make an offensive joke about eating fried chicken?

Chelsea aren't particularly known for paying silly wages for young players are they?
