Jah, das ist richtig !!!!!!!!! :blink:

We did, yesterday.

Bobby has well and truly lost the plot; he can’t figure out that not all teams / Managers want to play pretty, tippy, tappy football. He just can’t change his game plan to accommodate the variety of styles and tactics that football serves up. If the bottom three in the Prem weren’t so shite, Everton may well have been bottom four by now.

Its a 40 mile trip to Blackpool FFS.

You make it sound like a pilgrimage to Mecca. [/quote]

It is you Dork. The Mecca was adjacent to Bloomfield road !!!!!
Blackpool Mecca / The Highland Room !!!!!!

A little distraction from our own predicament.

What did Mr Shearer say about Bobby on MOTD last night. No plan B & too late with substitutions. Well spotted Mr Shearer, we could have told you that a few seasons ago !

Bang on Roy, I’ve always said you can only be a racist if you are white. A Pakistani can call me a Btit or someone from Stockholm a Swede but you use the forbidden word and your history. I once worked in a Coventry club which was owned and run by an Indian family so obviously the clientele was predominantly Indian. I know I was a victim of racism but who would fight my corner?, no one gave a flier not even myself as it is not the British way to moan. You are not allowed to make jokes at someone else’s expense anymore. I blame the Yanks. Oh sh.t I’m for the high jump now. :)[/quote]

I doubt any British person has ever been offended by being called a “Brit” or a Swede being called a “Swede”.

The issue here is that the terms “Paki” & “Chink”, for example, have been and still are used in derogatory terms and that is why people of those ethnic backgrounds find it so offensive.

I should also add that I find it quite astounding that you need that explaining to you.[/quote]

Sammy, you have completely missed my point. Of course I’m not offended being called a Brit and if somebody calls me white trash or any other names relating to my creed I’m not going to start screaming racism. Like Papa said we tolerate things more and brush it off. The problem today is that you will always find some PC nut or Radical will always jump on any chance to manipulate situations like Mr Whelan’s comments and use them to their own gains. Most right minded Jewish folk will not be offended by his comments yet one guy is likening him to the modern day Hitler. Take the “P” word you used, now surely it is just a shortened version of “Pakistani” yet as you say somewhere down the line someone has got on his soapbox and screamed “that’s offensive to me” so it is seen as derogatory to the Pakistani people. Certain groups are using the race card to fuel propaganda and I imagine that most people living in Pakistan have never even heard the “P” word. Take the problem at Spurs with their Jewish fans, some attention seeking individual or group have protested about the supporters taking the rip out of themselves.

The way I see it is it is not Race that is the problem anymore as we are now a multi cultural society it is the usage of Racism by some Ethnic factions that is. How we cure it is another thing. As a British National we are probably most discriminated against by our own leaders who let the Eurocrats in Brusselles make the laws that govern how we live today. Do we scream blue murder? No we come on here and discuss it. And most times end up having a slanging match :P :P[/quote]

Well said Nuneaton Fella.
Do you really travel from Nuneaton for every game ?

Let’s get behind the entire club and get on with the football. Climbing back up the league and winning another major honour will really piss off the anti Wigan brigade who are quick to “do us down” and are nowhere to be heard when we have had our high points. It’s never boring supporting Wigan.

Contrary to Standish, I see your point; which just goes to show that we all have views and opinions that differ to a degree. It’s called freedom of speech; but invariably that freedom is being taken away from us.
