Quote from: Rico on July 05, 2017, 02:31:09 PMWhilst eavesdropping on a conversation at my chippy in Manchester, I overheard two chaps talking about John Terry. One said that he had heard that Terry had signed for some club that play in claret and blue. The other said Burnley! Hopefully the signing of Terry will help raise our profile.Our profile is fine. We can't be held responsible if the Mancs in your local chippy are a bit thick!

Unfortunately, the writers overestimated the intelligence of a large proportion of their audience.For all those that nodded knowingly at the racist terminology, having understood that it was an attempt at the mockery of such prejudice, there were probably at least as many people who laughed at Garnett's bigoted outbursts because they agreed with them.Yep - a bit similar to the veneration of Michael Douglas' character in Wall Street

Although it also says 34%. God knows whatg it looks like when she goes 100% all in.

Where was Steve when our young Jack was behaving like a twat, commiting offences that would have got him sacked in any real job. And what about the fact Villa, like most clubs back in the 60s and 70s, were institutionally rascist - was it ok then, just not now? Signing JT does not make Villa, Bruce, Wyness, Xia, or our fans rascist - but perhaps if he is on H&V, he can explain his boundaries for what is acceptable and what is not acceptable from any Villa employee to cause one to boycott the entire club?Silly nonsense.
