Anyone easily offended and wandering into this thread will note that lazy Brummie racists who copy their xenophobic ancestors are incapable of distinguishing between Chinese & Japanese people. Nor of appreciating half decent Villa player Jap punning.

I'll never forget standing at the back of the Holte for the Villa - Blackburn replay in 90. The faithful started singing,'We hate Yorkshire and we hate Yorkshire'. I just shook my head in embarrassment. Thick twats.

Yeah, the 'and' is completely unnecessary.

Peter W is quite a harsh man.

He's got a point, though, anyone who thinks Blackburn is in Yorkshire truly is beyond salvation.

Maybe they didn't, maybe they just really hated Yorkshire.

I for example think that Bedfordshire is shit.

Perhaps they were Blackburn fans who had "taken the Holte"? I'd imagine they hate Yorkshire. And I think calling Mackems "Geordies" is acceptable, though inaccurate, as it winds them up.

Whether or not he knows much, Kendrick does have a relatively good record on the occasions he does make more definitive statements. I'm jut pleased we're apparently interested in highly-rated Japanese playmakers, and willing to pay around £8m for them. That's not bad at all.

Quite right.

Think back to the MON years. His idea of "Japanese playmaker" was probably a character from Mario Kart.

Also, I know the press sometimes know nothing, and sometimes invent stuff, but I'd trust Kendrick's opinion over that of some screaming Twitter mentalist in the Lake District every day of the week.

Yorkshire is a fine place. But it does have a lot of holes.

I thought Lancashire had the holes? Blackburn specifically? They were all counted and coincidentally, that same number of holes could fill the Albert hall.
