That video link won't work for me however, might it be this, from a Frankie Boyle election special from 2015?
Blimey he’s/that’s good eh.
Interestingly I’ve not had any interest to even look up the Monchi thing but obviously do have the motivation to chime in on the subtleties of a racism debate.
I guess it’s limited how much one can judge from a distance, but for me it’s was notable how much it hurt when we necessarily potted Deano as I loved him and the human qualities he seemed to show. (I was swooning at a Potter article and would have gone got him over Gerrard at that point).
I’ve also had a sense of satisfaction of the at least apparent sense of politeness I get from Emery. Do we know much about his (Emery’s) character/ethics/politics, him as a man I guess? I naively probably project some ‘goodnes’/wholesome qualities onto him and therefore probably rely on his judgement of characters the club hires, not much idea of how valid that is.
I’m someone who seems to have morally been ‘convenient’ around Emi’s dark arts and perhaps through attrition taken on the idea of our having not been nasty enough/been too nice, but I’d still ideally win/succeed with good folk up front and central and ‘playing fair’.
That brief dip into the Mings thread when he beautifully handled racism in an England shirt (along with the tweet calling out Priti Patel & the Tory’s hypocrisy in not backing the players gesture on race but being willing to be publicly at the consequences of their actions) was a lovely reminder of what a great ambassador he is. Makes me wonder what he’ll do post playing days, if he’d be sensible enough to skip the craziness of the management game and put his qualities to use somewhere.
Anyway Monchi, trust in Unai, trust in his men etc.
