Perspective there makes them look like giants.

I think you misunderstand. This is another extension of Alan being overly sensitive to anything said about black sportspeople's physical abilities over their mental or technical abilities.

I understand that perfectly well, just amused me

Your new forum title if there is any justice in the world

Now settle down lads, kenny's remarks for 9 ish on a monday morning, were extremely reasonable regarding the wolves transfer dealings, as were many of the responses.
So before anyone gets out of their pram, the "pissed the bed" comment was a humouros look at the time of day, and a tongue in cheek response to the lack of the normal mayhem regarding fosun, hobbs et al.
Say what you like though, kenny is my new TWF hero.

Call it overly sensitive if you like, but to default to that description for a Black player the poster has never seen play before fits the pattern.

I’ll always call that shit out, haven’t been afraid to before and won’t be now.

More importantly.....

Deega?
Jigger?
Der-jiya?

How the eff do you pronounce this new bloke's name.

What if he has watched him play? I would guess perhaps watched a highlights reel this morning at best which wouldn't really give you much to go on for a defender but would be enough to prove those attributes.

So as you're not keen on us being positive or negative about potential signings, can you let us know your narrow window of acceptable comment?

Not really expecting that me getting on a high horse is going to change any posting habits (and nor should it, really).

Exactly how it's spelled.

Then I would expect a description more eloquent than three words.

You are aware of Mr Spanish Keyboard?

Get them expectations and lower them....by a lot

That “Dji” could go a few ways couldn’t it?

I just thought it was funny that you'd only earlier taken issue with people slagging off a potential signing, and then someone using pretty generic and complimentary descriptors for a sportsman got both barrels too

I get your sensitivity about the latter (although it's still subjective of course), it was just an amusing bit of 180° forum policing

That's a lovely looking hot-tub.

I think there would be an apostrophe between the D and J if it was anything other than the obvious.

Did anyone see this coming??!

FWIW I'd love to see Coady back here - leadership we've badly missed and a better option than Dawson

 

[prawnking]

I'd be up for that

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Dawson would be like when we sent them Benno.

I'm happy enough with it, of course Coady would never have left if we hadn't employed a planet of cunt as manager.

 

[Kenny]

Getting the band back together (Hobbs had another round of golf?)

Boly next and Nuno in the summer please. Cheers Jeff
