......you mean the bits of culture it didn't plunder from other countries? Slightly off topic but it amuses me how it's okay for Scotland to be patriotic, Wales, any other country but if you say I'm proud to be English it's seen that you're probably racist and you have to have everyone else's cultures forced down your neck or risk being racist about that as well. I'm just curious really but I wonder how many English designed, Church of England churches have been built in countries like Pakistan? It's interesting that this country is apparently based on racism but yet some would have you believe others are not.

No wonder this country's lost it's own culture, I don't advocate abusing people but the mountains that are made out of mole hills these days is astounding

Pissy wankflaps, I had a really good response typed out then and the damn thing fouled up! Bah! It's a conspiracy I tell thee!

The point is whether or not the comments were racist. Well IMHO calling someone a Negro out of anger is racist. It is a comment meant to hurt. It's not nigger, though, which has definite negative connotation. It'd be the difference between Pakistani and Paki, I guess. So where is Negro then. I know calling someone a Pakistani is saying where they come from. How does that equate to Negro? Negro essentially means the same as black. It's in no way derogatory. Paki means someone from pakistan so I am assuming you dont think that is racist either? Negro is neither Turkish nor English for black so why use it. It was a stattement based on someones race intended to cause emotional distress. Can you prove that? Besides, calling a Scottish person a Scot isn't racist so how is calling some from Pakistan a Paki? Just an excuse for people to whinge or get sympathy imo. What about calling a Welsh person Taff? Or an Irishman Paddy? I don't see these folks getting a stress on about it. The problem is all the lefty do-gooders that jump on the bandwagon to say "Oh you can't say that about this person it'll offend them" when the actual people involved don't give a sh*t. The leftys just wind people up and cause the conflict.

I know calling someone a Pakistani is saying where they come from. How does that equate to Negro? I think Emre using the word 'Negro' has been taken out of context though. What he's saying is probably true, for example I have a black ink cartridge sat on my desk at work with negro clearly printed on the side - it's not racist it's the colour of the cartridge in a different language. Therefore Emre using the word negro is no worse than saying black. Now, if Emre said Yobo was a "F*ckin Coon" it'd be a different matter. I don't think he's racist and I also think if Everton and Newcastle see fit to leave this be I don't see why the FA has to blow it all out of proportion. It'd be sad to see Emre go over a misunderstanding of translation and the PC brigade jumping in on it.

Seems like a nice bloke, hope he keeps up the good work and stays with us

Quality, wouldn't mind a PM with one myself if there's one knocking around

Jermaine Peanut

Fished in!

From SSN: Ha! I knew we'd leave it til the last minute to look!

I'm amazed Sir Bob has anything to do with Shephard, given the way he was desposed of.

Is that what they're reporting on over at N O?

What's all this I hear about Luque going to PSV being a done deal on a 5 month loan? Is this true?

He looks like a basket ball player

Fix. You're not honestly telling me that 63% of the viewers voted for Shilpa? Nice girl and all but it'd have been more plausible for them to make Jermaine win if they wanted to help out with race relations. Something else, although I don't endorse Danielle's involvement in the whole bullying thing I actually started to feel sorry for her, she didn't get any coaching like Jade did plus Danielle's got cracking wangers!

Anal in rubbishing other newspaper rumours SHOCKER Anal last week... http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/newcast...-name_page.html Wow, Mr Oliver is a good journo, he sure knows his stuff!

From Fans FC When you think back Sir Bobby's achievements for our club are impressive when you compare the money he had to spend and bring in compared to Jose, at least that's how I see it - I'm sure someone will put a different spin on it with some hard figures. I'd still have him as manager.

So you wouldn't take any Brazilians because Kleberson wasn't any good? It's fine to 'risk it' when you're bringing these sort of players in as rotational players but when we need a first team, first choice player to sort out the back four I don't think it's a good idea. Therein lies Roeder's predicament. That's about the size of it

To be fair to him, he has a right to gloat a little on this occasion. I'm not gloating, but I confidently predict that their "plan" to win the premiership doesn't succeed, unless they get the "right" manager.......... I still wish we'd got O'Neill though

It's harder than people think to sign new players... blah blah blah

We could do with a player like him, wonder if he's available...

I thought this was a thread about Martin Jol

Hmmm... argies don't tend to do too well over here of late, would be a waste imo

Ding dong!
