    I must be the only person in the world who still hasn't heard this 'offensive' joke.

    I don't believe for a second that Woy is a wascist.

    Nasa decided they'd finally send a man up in a capsule after sending only monkeys in the earlier missions. They fire the man and the monkey into space. The intercom crackles: 'Monkey, fire the retros.' A little later: 'Monkey, check the solid fuel supply.' Later still: 'Monkey, check the life support systems for the man.' The astronaut takes umbrage and radios Nasa: 'When do I get to do something?' Nasa replies: 'In 15 minutes – feed the monkey.


    Which basically equates to Woy throwing bananas and making "ooh-ooh" noises towards Andros Townsend. Or so the Sun would have you believe.

    Rumour has it Jim Davidson's been invited as part of the backroom staff for the World Cup. The lads will love to hear about Chalky's latest escapades.

    I kind of want to know what the people who are so offended by this would be like if they caught my latest stand-up routine, the highlight of which is;

    I've seen WHSmith are in hot water over online publications of child sex stories in underage categories, which to me is ridiculous... Where else are middle class children going to learn about sex before their parents leave them on their own in a Portuguese flat to go drink with their buddies?

    Gotta say, for all the idiocy of this rigmarall, my faith has been restored in our society thanks to it. Not one person i have discussed this with or comments on websites have acted as if these comments have offended them. Sometimes it's good to be reminded that the public's opinion isn't dictated by the sensationalism in newspapers and oeople won't cry racism purely because it's mentioned

    If I were Roy Hodgson I would call a press conference and say nothing at all to the assembled ladies and gentlemen of the press - just a reverse Churchillian salute as a resignation gesture.

    I see the Edinburgh panda lost it's baby... Rumour abounds British detectives are working off the assumption a gang broke into the panda and stole the foetus from the uterus without anybody noticing... The Portuguese just say Kate got hungry again...

    I think we should have a days holiday to mourn the loss of the baby Panda.

    Well it was lost on me then, I assumed he must have only been asking them to "feed Townsend"... Either way it doesn't translate well on any of them.

    Here's a crazy suggestion – in future Woy could simply say "Smalling stop trying to get involved in the attack, they can't handle Andros, give him the ball"...

    You've at least got a slightly better a chance of Shrek understanding what you're on about too. Apparently he's still in the Wembley changing room looking for the bloody monkey!

    The joke itself is not very good but no problem with using analogies to get your point across and help players relax. Particularly in such tense circumstances. Woy is really sticking it to his critics, very very pleased for him. The witch hunt has been out from the Sun etc since their boy Harry got overlooked.

    Very flattering to Townsend as I say, which is how the lad took it. I can't see how its complicated? Its pretty obvious what he meant surely? As I say not the most flattering thing for Smalling but he's a grown man, I'm sure he understands the need to see a player like Townsend on the ball in attack instead of himself.

    So pleased the players have stood up for the manager, most of all young Townsend. Puts all the PC do gooders back in their box and everyone should just move on.

    who are these "people" that are offended? The only one I'm aware of is whichever player or whoever it was that leaked it. Other than that, every comment I've seen about it is saying how stupid and trivial it is. I don't think there's any outrage at all, I think the media knows it can get people's attention by irritating them in this sort of way, and job done apparently.

    A point that has been lost in this though has been why it has been allowed to blow over without too much fuss...

    Simply put, it's results.

    If this had been Capello (especially being Italian) in charge on the brink of World Cup non-qualification abyss, the national press would have gone into meltdown trying to practically identify the fella as a Nazi sympathizer.
    It would spiral beyond all levels of sanity and give the spineless FA the perfect excuse to "mutually" relieve him of his contract.

    This thing of political correctness is exactly as it says, it's political. It's usually trotted out when it serves an agenda or purpose.
