    Harry Kane

    I agree - by all means make your case internally and do what you feel is right for you - but this public description of who he wants to be his team mates, how much he should be sold for etc. feels far beyond what I've seen other players do in similar circumstances. Pretty disrespectful.

    AFC Tottenham

    We will have to see how this all plays out, but if they continue to go down this route then I don't think I could support Spurs in the same way. Whether that means a new 'local' club is too soon to say. As much as I like the idea of dropping all football and releasing myself from the emotional...

    The Banana incident

    Awful lot of benefit of the doubt here... Claiming there was no racist intent is pretty much exactly what you'd say if you got caught no? I cannot believe there is a single football fan in this country (especially one of his age) who wouldn't understand the significance and maybe think twice...

    Sherwood has gone!

    Let's see how many first-teamers he can take down on his way out! I am genuinely a little concerned.

    We support Everton for 4th thread

    I can't support anyone else for 4th who isn't us! Fucks sake! This is one of the most depressing threads of all time (and that is saying something)

    Sherwood has gone!

    To be fair to Ramos, he only complained in public long after being fired, and even then I'm not sure AVB has at all? Everything else is just rumour and speculation. In case you've forgotten, we have spunked gazillions pretty recently.... Big fan of Tim though, he's getting the results and seems...

    Sherwood has gone!

    Really bizarre treatment of someone who came in and looked a real quality player in his first few games - What is going on?

    Anelka Anti-semitic gesture today

    Without knowing the FA's internal disciplinary processes I'm not sure I'd be able to give you a completely accurate answer to that. But I would imagine a reasonable weight would be given to Anelka's own admission that the salute was a tribute to his friend, the one who has been repeatedly...

    Anelka Anti-semitic gesture today

    I havent seen the Borini incident so I couldnt comment on that. With Anelka, by his own admission, the gesture was in support of his friend, Dieudonne. Dieudonne is, and has been, propagating some quite vile Jew hatred, so the intention was to demonstrate support for racist behaviour. It is...

    Anelka Anti-semitic gesture today

    Completely fucking clueless. If you are more concerned that a Premiership footballer should have to sit on his arse for a few Saturdays in a row than actually attempting to combat the public acceptance and proliferation of disgusting racism then I would suggest your priorities are completely...

    Benoit Assou-Ekotto

    Er I'd hardly call football fans 'educated' as a demographic... Or the 'quenelle' 'French' culture - it's not exactly a national tradition. Le Pen is godfather to this guy's child for fucks sake, how is this even a debate. That poll just seems to suggest to me that people are quite relaxed...

    Anelka Anti-semitic gesture today

    No - Semitic refers to a language group, of which Arabic and Hebrew both belong to. The definition of a people as 'Semitic' comes from the language those people speak. In contemporary usage, anti-Semitic tends to refer to anti-Jewish prejudice. In this instance it seems like good old fashioned...

    Anelka Anti-semitic gesture today

    It is plainly obvious there is a very nasty message to this salute. Especially given the comedians background. Hardly a nuanced debate on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

    Anelka Anti-semitic gesture today

    This just makes the whole thing more worrying, rather than absolving Anelka of anything.

    Anelka Anti-semitic gesture today

    Read into his mate's history - sounds very dodgy to me. Why would you need a salute which is so uncomfortably close to the Nazis to 'represent your views?

    Some of these comments beggar belief. Absolute miserable ****s some of you.

    fans ruining Townsend!

    It is a symptom of this miserable consumerist culture taking hold in the Premiership. Boo every tiny thing about football that you don't like. Ruining the atmosphere.
