    that only applies to caribbean and african-americans. efe ambrose is not th descendant of a slave and so does not have the genetic 'advantage' caused by eugenic breeding on slave plantations

    I think this thread's getting off topic a bit...

    Anyone expecting to see Lubos feature for us at all?

    Really pleased with our signings.

    Behave. This is silly on so many levels. African and Caribbean runners are typically better because they focus on running more than white nations. They do this because it is probably the most affordable sport to get into at a young age.

    As regards most popular sports, how about football, rugby, swimming, gymnastics, cycling, rowing, baseball, ice hockey, martial arts, weightlifting? Do you think white people are better at the winter olympics because of genetics, or is it just because you get more white athletes and nations partaking in such sports? Be sensible.

    Anyway, as regards transfer activity I dont feel too excited about our signings to be honest. I was naively hoping for a bit more after ticket prices were increased, selling Ki for 6m, getting rid of a lot of our squad, and getting into the champions league. It just feels like another cheapest possible effort. That said I do appreciate we are unlikely to spend enough to get past the next round of the champions league, and we dont need to spend anything to win the SPL. So I am not overly troubled by it - just a bit underwhelmed.

    I'm pretty * at boxing to be fair:icon_mrgreen:.

    How did this turn into a discussion about races?:97:

    I am really happy about our transfer aqusitions and I like that we got rid of a huge chunk of our fringe men. Selling Ki for 6/7m was good business too considering his squad status.

    im pretty happy with it all except for the loss of ki, he woulda been perfect for champs league or at the very least a replacement for him. but im happy with the rest :50:

    on a side note its not racist to point out that someone is black and nor is it racist to point out the differences between ethnic groups. 100m metre final all black, not because its the only sport they can afford to do ( that statement is more offensive than calling a black person black) but because they were all faster than there white counter parts. money doesnt make you good at a sport, it will help you progress yes but genetics that gives you the ability

    When are people going to learn that spending money doesn't neccessarily equal success? Would you be happy if the club had paid £35m for Andy Carroll and had to loan him out after a season because he was * like Liverpool did or would you rather we conducted ourselves sensibly in the tranfer market and brought in gems like Wanyama?

    I'm aware that we can't afford to spend £35m on a whole squad of players let alone one but I'm making the point that spending big doesn't mean you're neccessarily getting a better quality of player than if you scout well and spend prudently.

    Oh yeah i forgot to mention that black guys have big huge dicks too. Further proving how they tend to be genetically superior. :50:

    Think it was more 5/6 than 6/7.


    Excellent bit of business though:50:

    No, he's not.

    He's a fast, intelligent, mobile, ball-playing centre back, who can also play in midfield.

    And thank *.

    I've had a lifetime's fill of "big strong no-nonsense brick wall" CBs after that useless lump Balde.

    I don't share that opinion. I think we need intelligent, fast CBs who can play football, and I'm delighted that's exactly the sort that Lenny's bringing in. :50:

    You wanna see big aggressive clods in action? I'd say maybe go for WWE wrestling, cos I don't think you'll find yourself satisfied with the kind of guys he'll be signing...

    Either Miku or Lassad will be a big impact sub I reckon, which adds so much to our team. 60, 70 mins into a Champions League match and bringing one of those two on will get the pulse raised.
