    Blimey. Toure has effectively accused Pep of being racist.

    Sour grapes, or a genuine whistle-blower ;hmm

    With no evidence it's just opinion, but quite a serious thing to imply nonetheless.

    OCS, based on Toure's previous whinging, I'm going with 'sour grapes'.

    (Of course, it needn't be either-or )
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    That was my first thought Mrs G, but it's a risk to go public with it without any evidence as it could be considered slander.

    Will be interesting to see how this one develops.

    It is a risk. But if Toure believes it's true, then he doesn't see a risk.

    I read the version of the story yesterday, and the quotes/comments there had no mention of 'Africans' or racism. I'll read the BBC one now and see what's different ;ok

    “But when you realise that he has problems with Africans, wherever he goes, I ask myself questions. He will never admit it. But the day he will line up a team in which we find five Africans, not naturalised, I promise I will send him a cake.”

    This made me (first) laugh. What is it about ;cake ;cake ? ;lol

    From watching Yaya play I think he was not picked because he strolls around the pitch.

    Pep ethos is clearly that everyone works with no passengers...

    I remember the CL semi a couple of years ago and Yaya seemed to be asleep...

    Dreaming about cake, probably
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    So we won’t be signing Yaya then ;whistle
  • secrethammersfansecrethammersfan
    If anything, that makes it more likely that we'll sign him. Well, maybe after he does three years at Hull.

    The last two EPL packages of 20 games each have been bought by BT and Amazon respectively. Amazon will stream their games on the Amazon Prime platform.

    If only Hamstew were around - he would have made some “amendments” to that picture

    Do you know what I’ve always been intrigued as to whether “Old Castle Swift” is actually “old”.

    The picture above probably gives a bit of direction in terms of that particular question

    All I now wonder is whether he is swift.

    And whether he owns a castle

    ;hmm

    I think those that I play football with would certainly argue the 'swift' bit.

    No answer about the castle ;hmm
  • alderzalderz
    It’s clear who the journalist here is, not letting him avoid the castle story

    How do people feel about club v country. I used to be fairly equal but now care little about england compared to west ham.
