Bluenail

I was horrified to hear of "racist chants" from Enzo, but then I watched the video. Will someone please explain to me how this is "racist" rather than just a dis on France's f**ked up colonial history? (same with the UK, Netherlands etc.). Do people not know how Europeans behaved in the 18th, 19th and 20th century? Look up fucking Leopold II. Or a bit closer to today, the Falkland wars. Why Argentinians look at the brits as "pirates". Most of Frances players have African roots, that is just a fact. What exactly is wrong with having roots in the former French colonies of Algeria/Cameroon/Morocco/Tunisia/Benin/Burkina Faso (the list goes on and on and on...)? France should truly be shamed for their history in Africa, as should the rest of colonial Europe. But please, explain to me why it's "racist" like I'm a 5 year old. Because as it stands, I think it's the complete opposite.

just play him

I completely agree with this. Young is a good player, and Jones and De Gea are good prospects, but they've let O'Shea and Brown go, two very reliable squad players, they've lost Scholes, a hugely influential player, and Van der Sar who probably had his best season for them last season. So unless they sign anyone in central midfield, I'd say they're worse off than last season.
