    I appreciate this is a sensitive issue but is 'racism' not going too far. I wouldn't of thought old Woy meant anything by what he said yet people are going mental. Kick it out want an investigation launched. Why not just grow up and realise you will get offended at some point in your life even if the person didn't mean to cause offence.
    To constantly worry about saying certain things is a bigger problem surely? That's then making an issue of the colour of someone's skin. I for example think both Bale and Samba look ape like, Difference being that I wouldn't be crucified for saying it about Bale.

    If people keep crying over every little comment then we run the risk of diluting the issue when something genuinely racist takes place.

    It's all a farce.

    As an Emperor Tamarin I find the whole affair greatly offensive.

    Exactly what I thought and, to be fair, what most have said. Stan Collymore pretty much said what you said in a "tweet".

    However, it's jobsworth fckwits like this Piara Powar, executive director of Football Against Racism in Europe (Fare), who told the BBC that Hodgson had got it wrong.

    "This was a silly phrase to use in a diverse workforce," said Powar.

    What is ironic is this guy has always had controversy around him. He's Asian and once called another Asian guy a "coconut" (brown outside, white inside) via Twitter. So the tw@t couldn't deny it. He also was 'too' involved in the Rangers race case not so long ago...when it turned out he was a Celtic fan and used FARE to bring a case to UEFA. He is to anti-racism campaigns what Bin Laden was to Muslims. I cannot abide or stand people like that.

    It's all bullshit.

    Monkeys are funny and should be used in more jokes.

    Agree totally mate. It sickens me that, just after a vital win, the press are jumping all over an innocent comment trying to **** stir.

    Makes you wonder just how idiotic society is. Did you buy the S*n? Did I? Did anyone I work with? Nope. The irony being, of course, that those who DO buy the Sun tend to be knuckle-dragging Neanderthals. Apologies if that's racist.

    It boggles the mind how that "paper" continues to survive. I hope they do ban page 3 - not for prudish reasons, purely because it might discourage a good few, erm, "readers". I cracked a smile when the NOTW collapsed. Lasted 3 seconds until I realised they'd just push the Sun on Sunday. I don't even blame Murdoch - he's no more responsible than Colonel Sanders is responsible for Worldwide obesity. I just still cannot fathom who would bother to have to physically go into a shop, with actual cash, and purposefully exchange this cash whilst picking up this rag of your own accord. I could understand if it was some kind of Hitler-esque propaganda and we either read it or were shipped off to Auschwitz. That said, I'd still think twice about buying it.

    Exactly.

    I honestly laughed my socks off at this. Talk about overplaying the racecard. How did this get out of the dressing room is a far more interesting angle.

    I know one thing I reckon we should have live feed of Roys dressing half time talks during Brazil 2014. They sound hugely entertaining.

    You can cluck off. This sort of mentality has no place in modern society.

    Woy and JK having a half time talk together would make good listening.

    Then again, maybe not.

    Absolute rubbish. Good to see all the players wading in to support woy. On the bright side I think that shows the team are with the manager. I dont think they would of been so quick to jump to Capello's defence.

    I think the whole PC thing has gone way too far in recent years, but this is a pretty strange one.

    If the reports are accurate, it's a very odd, elaborate joke/metaphor in order to ask the players pass the ball more to Townsend.

    He's clearly made the mental link that the "feed the monkey" punchline somehow applies and on any level it's not particularly flattering for the lad is it?

    Unless Woy's either being 'wacist' in a post-modern 'iwonic' sense or making an implication about his intelligence/ability, the thing doesn't actually work.

    Who leaked it too, the player he 'dwopped' for Townsend??

    (No offense meant to those with speech impediments you understand)

    On the contrary, I think the player in question should be commended for speaking out. Have any of you tried talking whilst trying to peel a banana with you teeth, trying to scratch your bollocks at the time as p*ssing on the assembled crowd and also having the dexterity not fall of the creeper your swinging on with your feet.

    I really don't care.

    What I do care about is the innocent vaginas repeatedly being linked to attrociousness. A Mackem is about as far removed from a wonderful c*** as I can imagine. A tw@t should be a sign of endearment, not a derogatory remark.

    Arse-sores is an insult. Vulva is not.

    And on that note, I bid all you pussies a good night!

    I agree it is an elaborate joke (hence I want more because Woy seems a right character despite his public profile). There is simply no racial connotation or offence there. It is actually very flattering to Townsend. Its not particularly flattering to Smalling, but I'm sure he understands that Townsend is better to placed to do the attacking work than a centre half playing right back. All he has meant is "Smalling stop trying to get involved in the attack, they can't handle Andros, give him the ball"

    I do think there is a traitor in the camp though and they should outed. I think the rest of the squad should decide his punishment. Maybe a Full Metal Jacket type affair where they all put their soap in their socks and beat the **** out of the treacherous bastard.

    Pardew out, Woy in (he'll be available post World Cup once the media have done their work)

    The idea of Woy doing stand up is in itself quite amusing.
