If you call a black a monkey you tend not to be doing so metaphorically.

not really, some blacks look like monkeys, as do some whites.

always thought Paul Scholes looked like a baboon...


Latest on this in the Express is that "sources close to Terry" say that while he did say "black ****" it was taken out of context and he actually said to Ferdinand "i never called you a fucking black ****"

and from the video it actually seems to fit! (with a brief interuption from some monkey walking by :eek:mg: sorry old habits die hard :grin: :oops: :shrug:)

still makes the people who swear "blind" he didn't say it :wink: look foolish.

So may I gather from this thread that John Terry, is infact, a monkey? If not I am getting confused.

that's pretty clear...


But if the above is true and he did say it in a different context then that brings up a whole new raft of questions...

What did he say in the first place to Anton Ferdinand to get him to respond in that way?

Is there any video evidence of the prior statements?

If there is no evidence of the first comments then couldn't this just be a 'clever' way of Terry saying something bad/racist without any comeback?

guessing they will want to get Ferdinand's side of the story before deciding what action to take.

blatantly called him it - clear as day from the pictures and from his statement. i find it bordering on impossible to believe that someone would reply "i never called you a black ****" to a comment - surely they d just say "i didnt say that" or something similar? the fact anton has not come out and cleared Terry also speaks volumes.

is it also relevant that anton has not posted a thing on twitter since the incident? previously, he was posting regular updates (more often than Rio!)

what i don't like is that any other kind of prejudice is pretty much accepted, but if skin colour comes into it and it suddenly becomes massive. evra accused suarez of racial abuse, but what if suarez had called him a french twat or something? would we have heard anything from that?

Is it just me or did the FA site remind you of Spurs' Official Site in the way it came across? :think:

Like the way Terry isn't mentioned but his name appears in the web address at the top.
