Nobody said we shouldn't boo Andy Gray, or David Platt, or Dwight Yorke. This idea you should be 'classy' or in other words, subservient, is another reason why the Premier League can get bollocksed.
Did anyone else find the atmosphere strangely flat last night?I was looking forward all day to an atmosphere like the Friday night Everton game - but it never really happened For a few minutes after we scored it picked up but then it faded again

Just because someone of colour is disliked its not always about their colour although it seems at times some people cannot accept anything else.Lewis Hamilton - dickhead because of his dress sense (yes i am that shallow) his tax avoidance and he is not the most humble of people.AJ - seemingly nice bloke but just a pretty (in my mind) average boxer that has been elevated way above his ability deserves. Hard to respect a HW boxer when he does so many tacky commercials and game shows.
Just by looking at them.......Isnt that racial stereotyping
And as if Vettel (or lord help us Schumacher) weren't much bigger knobs.
