On the contrary the world is seeing how a nation is treating someone who kicked a cat and people who have done racist things against people. Both are wrong yet the angst seems to be greater for the cat crime. Suarez did stuff to Evra - I don't recall people shouting for Suarez to be fired or jailed. That is what Antonio is calling out. It is the matter of seeing what this society holds dearer and to people like Antonio and a growing number of people - the difference is clear.

A lot has changed in the last 10 years or so since the Suarez situation. Nobody can change the past, not everyone thought what Suarez did was acceptable.
Zouma is a horrible fudge and deserves all the brick he gets. If it was Jack Wheelchair that did it I’d want to kick both his eyes out, rather than just Zouma’s left eye.

I don't think he's on about something that happened ten years ago.
So I do wonder which players he had in mind, contemporary ones, that have been convicted of racism.

Really? You don't?

You must have been on a sabbatical from here when it happened then. Same with John Terry.
 
I don't really understand the comparison with race and racism at all. It is really poor to conflate the 2.

FWIW I tend to believe cruelty is cruelty whether it is against animals or human. Those who possess the mentally to mistreat animals would do the same to humans if they could get away with it.
 
West Ham going down like a bag of kittens in a creek to Sevilla. Down 1-0 and bringing in defenders.

The Sevilla goal is a gorgeously executed set piece.

Not going to be a popular opinion but it’s more small time attempting to mock the achievements of other clubs, everyone on here would rather we forget about our efforts in the Europa Conference this season for good reason, befitting the achievement of others only re-opens the wound imo.

Ok fair enough if last 8 of the Europa league is an achievement.

I honestly don’t remember so correct me if I’m if wrong but it feels like further than we’ve got in that competition (and to repeat, we did worse in the “worse” competition this season).

Don’t get me wrong If they go ahead and win it I won’t be celebrating, more just banging my head against the wall closest to me at that stage.
