    Interesting interview with Samba about the Zenit fans.

    What a strange thing to say Garry and with no substance whatsoever.

    Seems I can't point out that some people are happy to excuse racist and homephobic abuse much closer to home without you and KentAddick having a personal dig at me.

    As I said if the cap fits

    Usually you're a good poster, but this makes you come accross as barking mad. You're the one that started the digging, I was simply stating that it's not healthy digging out other members. I think an open letter from a supporters group demanding the club get rid of their own players simply because of the colour of their skin is a lot worse than chanting "does your boyfriend know you're here" at opposition supporters.

    Interesting article here guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2012/dec/19/zenit-st-petersburg-open-letter

    The thrust is that while there is problems with the Landscrona statement, at it's core is a desire to see less cheating, more local players and less high paid mercenary footballers.

    Something that we would all want...less cheating, more local players and less high paid mercenary footballers.

    Too right, just who do they think they are? They'll get their comeuppance though, behaving like proper journos means that they will never be able to work for the Beeb.

    I beg to differ - it becomes more like a mirror image of the Daily Mail every day...selective reporting, playing to the gallery. Still, sometimes, just like the DM, it's unintentional comedy gold!

    As for Zenit. Who the f**k would want to go and play there anyway? If you were a footballer, surely the place is that backward that you'd rather play for Millwall?

    Used to read the Guardian and the Times. Don't buy papers anymore. My comment was just a bit of a joke, admittedly not very funny but wasn't meant as serious by any means. Think I need that smiley winky feature the clique have.

    Recently back from Moscow as I was travelling with some disabled colleagues it was interesting the responses of everyday folk on the metro. Generally all the stares and tuts came from older generation moscovites, there was hardly any black or ethnic minority people, and disabled access was completely lacking. Having said that there are people working for change in Moscow but its going to take a long long time. It did make me realise all the great things about London including such a multi ethnic population.
