Yes me! Thanks for the heads up Art as I missed it!

I used to use the underground a lot and never saw anyone pushed off a train. What makes this act racist is the chanting. They might not boo their own players but it didn't stop Terry saying something stupid did it?

I find it very sad that these thugs are being defended by some on here. It has nothing to do with levels of offence. It is out of order. The guy was clearly prevented from getting on the train and there was clear racist chanting.

Under the banner of racial intolerance plenty of people have been killed, beaten and raped. That is why we make a stand against it. Because it is abhorrent and should not be tolerated. It what is know as the slippery slope. Once you say it is okay for casual incidents of racist behaviour before you know it you have parties like UKIP and their policies becoming more and more mainstream. If history teaches us something it is not to let this crap grow again and to call it wherever we see it for what it is.

He just fell off??? I guess he sang those racists chants himself too? And good to see all of those lovely gents saying to their mates make room and help him into the carriage.

My point is that UKIPs solution to the immigration issue is no more the only right one than the Nazis idea of how to deal with non Aryans. Not hard to grasp surely?

I think you are deliberately trying to be obtuse. But at least you are showing your true colours. I hope that you and Nigel will be very happy together.

So you think that UKIPs solution to immigration is the only solution?

It is a social problem but then so is violence and as we know, there used to be a great deal of violence at football matches. The sort of thing you don't get at rugby or cricket matches. There is a certain type of dangerous and unpleasant tribalism within football crowds. You would like to think that in 2015 and with so many "foreign" players plying their trade in clubs across the world, that racism in football would be no more. Sadly many clubs still have racist supporters in their ranks.

Hmmm really. There is nothing that would make me want to vote for UKIP. Also you say that they are the only party who are correct about immigration. Really? I suppose the Nazis were the only ones who got it right about ethnic cleansing too?

Perhaps he is just being pragmatic? Afterall, Coretses wanted to offload him to West Ham so you can hardly blame him for taking the Liverpool offer. Sadly it hasn't worked out for him but he must have known he was going to be a bench player for us this season so why not sit on a bench of the club you grew up supporting? He will be off in the summer I expect.

Read yesterday that a guy walked free after shooting dead a pregnant woman after twisting a handgun on his finger gunslinger style and the gun went off. The court determined that he had not displayed negligence. WTF?

Fair play Noodles. I can see that you don't have much faith in the current owner or Board and that is your choice. I don't know why you preferred to believe in Cortese who clearly had "issues" rather than people who have demonstrated that they are solid so far. I would also argue that the current lot are showing better business acumen and have achieved a better standing in the Premiership than the Don did so far. You may well be a Saints fan but I do find it odd that you want people who have done a good job to either fail or jump ship.

Indeed but it was no where near as bad as some of the things Ms Leibherr was called during the summer.

So you agree that you are waiting for the Board to fail? I was happy when Cortese went but didn't lose any sleep when he was here. As much as I disliked his methods I did not want him to fail because that would have meant that the club failed. Hardly the same difference pal.

My daughter works on the wet fish counter at Waitrose. I hope you are not accusing her of supporting the Blue Few?

To be fair it took him a while to develop at Premiership level and I still don't think he is of International quality yet. Perhaps if he hadn't picked up the injury he would have improved further by this stage, who knows.

I see you have added the word "slightly" to your quote from #15. You have said far worse things about him. "Wreck It Ralph" can "grate" and use the word "product" as much as he likes in my book as long as he and his colleagues continue to deliver. We have a club we can be proud again and he plays his part in that. This thread is churlish to say the least and it demonstrates that there are those who are just waiting for someone to trip up so that they can jump on them - just as happens in our blip before Christmas when the bedwetters rose once more from their coffins to peddle their doom and gloom until the sun came up and we started winning matches again.

So you haven't slagged off Ralph then? I don't expect that he would care for a long car journey with you either mush.

Or not. You forget the players we have been linked with us or clubs linked with our players that Koeman has said there is nothing in it.
