Indeed but once translated from Spanish doesn't it mean the same? It must do if previous examples of players using it have meant punishment Link to post Share on other sites

The 'n' word which you refer to, that has changed form, originated from a derogatory word. It was flipped on its head and used as a way of showing solidarity or strength. This word literally comes straight from the word for the colour. It doesn't originate from a word which was used for oppression. Make sense? Link to post Share on other sites

I know what the origin is and the "justification" for using it as it has been used as a defense previously. Do you think the FA will buy it this time because I don't think they've bought it in the past Link to post Share on other sites

The only part I disagree with is the last bit as for some reason Silva only got 1 match ban. The 3 match minimum ban is a new FA rule, brought in after the Silva episode. I read it on the BBC Sport website yesterday. BLM, taking a knee etc, etc might have had some impact on the rule. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Now it is OK to say Maguire is a decent player without being lynched, I would make the point that Evans is no better than Maguire! Comon CB... let's have your predicted 11 for tonight... not who you want to play, but who you think Ole will play.... Link to post Share on other sites
RickG16 1,291 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Here's one for you CB... apparently we can go through without a ball being kicked if Istanbul beat Leipzig.... if that happens, do we make as many subs as possible and go easy? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
