Surley it's only racist if being basque has negative connotations? Isn't it just an adjective in this sense like lego haired or what ever else names folk on here use at him. Bit like calling xhaka the Swiss turd that many here do.

No idea if any intent for it to be an insult here bit doesnt in my head as I wouldn't mind being basque, fierce attitude, lovely part of the world, passionate,good looking, clever...if he had said oirish on the other hand well....that a different color horse completely...
If someone said they were fed up of that Irish cuunt Augie, would that be acceptable? Doubtful I would say. :lol:
As a fellow Irishman you can call me whatever you like.....think of every horrid paddywhackery slander theres ever been and go for it. Truth is most Irish lads just aint that sensitive.......If you the type that"takes offense" to things..well theres a name for ya.....just too many feelings on this board to put it in print, DB will be out with the banning stick.

The chavs are apparently looking to complete a quick sale

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22747789 ... act-offer/

Of course they are - "lets get this done quickly in case anyone with half a brain at AFC realises that we are screwing them and they are buying a dud for big money" :roll:

This basque c.unt has signed TWENTY FIVE players since he became AFC manager, and I dont think that you can hold even one of them as a major success - seems like him and arteta are learning nothing and are going to continue pissing money away this summer. In 3 years at the club I make it 9 players that he has signed and are already left the club - that is a staggering figure imo. For years now our board and owners have rightfully received loads of stick for insufficient investment in the playing squad, but right now serious questions need to be asked as to why no-one in the board is standing up and stopping this havertz deal - I dont want us to buy rice either but I can at least see why some are blinded to the folly of buying declan rice, but surely there is no-one that watches english football who cannot see what a totally ridiculous and braindead signing havertz would be ?? If we sign havertz then we deserve the serious decline that we will suffer next season
Think I found the casual racism that was previously mentioned by subtleasaheadbut :oops:

Augie have a word with yourself.



I love that in this pc world people can throw around words like racism so effortlessly - I'm not nor have I ever been racist and dont care if our players or staff are white, black, orange or blue, or if they are english, Irish, american or any other nationality as long as they are of the required standard for my club. Fcuk off with that racism shit
I'm inclined to agree with Stuart. This isn't anything PC, it's out of order IMO. Yeah, you don't like Arteta we get that, but when you start to make comments about where he is from, what does that have to do with the conversation?

Are you going to start calling out everyone that says "Scouse" / "Manc" / "Geordie" / "Middx" c.unt or whatever, when talking about rival fans?

If so, you're gonna be very busy on here, because it's no different to what Augie said.

EXC 🚨 Arsenal are on the verge of completing the signing of youngster Pedrinho from Corinthians. Corinthians' president Monteiro A. met with Arsenal's sporting director Edu yesterday to discuss a move involving the 17yo. There is a £43m release clause in his contract. #AFC 🔴


Understand Arsenal are advancing in talks to sign Roméo Lavia. Negotiations ongoing with Southampton and player’s camp, still no official bid ⚪️🔴 #AFC

Southampton hope for their record fee for U21 player.

Man Utd interested but priority is Mount; Chelsea, keeping close eye.

I wonder where we'll stick him out on loan for the next 4 years, so that he feels completely unwanted, gets pissed off and looks for a move?
Like Martinelli you mean ?

We bought martinelli at the same age from Corinthians and developed him into the first team is my point so why cant we do the same with this guy. The work permit rules have changed now meaning it will be easier to bring in South American talent unless I got the gost of your post wrong. My brain is a bit frazzled after the cricket today.

Ah, I see. Fair enough, we didn't do it with Martinelli, so you may be right. I suppose I'm scarred by the seemingly countless number of youngsters we've bought, but hardly ever seen over the years. Currently Saliba is one that we very nearly lost and it seems that he didn't exactly feel wanted by Arteta.

Anyway, hopefully you're right.

Mind you that fee is a lot higher than Gabis but theres a lot of talent out there we should take advantage of with the relaxed rules.

🚨Balogun will be part of Arteta’s plans for the Preseason that is set to start early July. Following this there will be more serious discussions about the players future at the club. Another loan is off the cards as publicly expressed by the player, he wants first team football.

As much as I'd be happy to see Rice arrive, if West Ham are going to fuck around for 100m plus we should walk away and let them get on with an unhappy player. The money doesn't matter to me, but it does to them as will a disillusioned captain

Can't see City spending 100m on him, Liverpool already signed Mac Allister and Chelsea look set on Caceido and have about 100 midfielders anyway

Let them stew

Was there any need to make the Basque reference? It's nothing like calling someone a Scouser or Brummie, they don't even consider themselves Spanish ffs. Somehow I doubt you even know that. As soon as you refer to someone from a foreign country you have to be very careful what you say.

Agree with this and was going to post the same thing earlier. I don't want Rice and certainly not at that price, so easy for me to say, but we should leave the offer where it is and let them stew. If any of the big boys were really after him for that kind of money, they'd already be involved and more importantly, we wouldn't get him anyway, because we never seem to sign players others are genuinely interested in.

Leave the offer on the table, see what happens and make a point of looking at alternatives....personally I'd reignite the Caicedo interest, because I suspect he's a better prospect.

Wtf are you on about? I'm very aware of the Basque Separatist Movement and that they consider themselves Basque and not Spanish....the Catalans have a similar view but "somehow I doubt you even know that". :roll:

Anyway, what's the Basques not considering themselves Spanish got to do with it? Augie called him Basque and not Spanish, so he got it right. Why's it different to calling someone a Manc, or Scouse etc? Will you object to people using the term American or Yank when they're slating Kroenke, or are you only pc sensitive in favour of those you like? You'll probably reasonably often see me refer to Wenger as the old French fucker, because I'm pretty relaxed about him being all those things.

Grow up ffs.

I had to smile tonight because Wet Spam have been saying they can get several players in with the money they'll get for Rice. Their primary target is Palinha of Fulham...... And Fulham have now said they want 90m for him. Can't have it both ways Spammers!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
