    Russians aren't backwards. I know several and they're very well educated and articulate, in my experience.
    It's an enormous country though, so I wouldn't judge everyone by that small group.

    The Russian political landscape is completely backwards, but that's a very different statement.
    Anyone calling Russians backwards would be seen as equally xenophobic, though not racist, admittedly.

    I'm not Ugandan, but if a Ugandan did come across this thread, they'd be wondering what's going on.

    Well, you can laugh at Arsenal, but nobody likes a xenophobic person like you, ;-).

    Xenophobic? Stop doing the word a disservice much like the PC bellends have all but diluted the word racism.

    If someone days everyone is an idiots, does it mean they think everyone is an idiot? Or do the PC morons that plague this world as much as any far right group only jump in to 'protect' those they deem weak, thus discriminating against them...

    I made a joke about the Spurs scorer yesterday also bring on the specials menu at my local Chinese restaurant. Does this make me evil?

    Most definitely in some peoples eyes.

    Racebigophobic.

    The new South Park sums these kinds of morons up perfectly. Sad that a cartoon has a better grip of reality than a large number of people.

    I don't think I thought about it to that degree it was a bit of the cuff and not very funny.

    "I don’t know why they can’t win it, but that’s my feeling — I like every player,’ added Mourinho.
    ‘If one of their players is a free agent and Arsenal don’t want him there, I would take every one. I like all of their players.’

    Add in his comments about wanting to stay managing in London after he leaves Chelsea and the way he shook the hands of every player at the community shield and you might almost think he was angling for a move to Arsenal <whistle>

    He does seem to be obsessed with Arsenal. Not like he's ever had the opportunity to manage a club with history in England. It may be a new experience for him. <whistle>

    I think he enjoys sticking it to Wenger, which this comment was clearly doing.

    Think we might of hit a nerve, what with Jose being in his meltdown third season, the fear from Chelsea fans that he will jump ship must be setting in and that his preferred destination seems to be Arsenal must be hurting <whistle>

    No chance of that, Wenger will have a good cup run and finish 4th and it'll tie him over to next season. Then with a decent pre season and the emirates cup 2016 in the bag, there may even be a few noises about winning the title....<whistle>

    Groundhog day?

    After missing out on replacing Fergie at Utd I suppose Mourinho sees it as his only chance at running a proper club in England now to take over from wenger when he retires. Despite his desperate "come and get me" pleas I can't see Arsenal going for a manager with such a lack of class, so you should be ok for now ;)
