    Yes, but you can only say I can't remember for so long before people don't believe you anyway.

    Not anti Dr King I am very pro, just angy that his light was put out by the darkest of people, but let's also consider for a moment how we use Dark and Light and Black and White. It's a great irony that he should use those words and is a good example of how religion currupts even the best of people.

    Mark Twain was a man of his time but just because I challenge a saying does not mean I am anti who said it. In Twain's case I am not entirely sure he wasn't racist because as I said he was a man of his time.

    I know, was just a (very weak) joke. And I agree with what you say.

    Huge corruption especially it seems in the Southern States. I'm glad to see more films from Prime and Netflix coming out about and by African Americans and what they have had to endure from racist bastards and sadly, still do. We have our share in the UK of course.

    Some rich people are in football to be popular. Daniel doesn’t need to be popular.

    'He sees it as a business and the idea is to spend less money and still make good results. It’s hard to say he’s wrong when Spurs get to a Champions League final.

    Other clubs have spent a billion and not done it.’

    Benoit Assou-Ekotto on Daniel Levy.

    There was a magazine in England who said I screwed 2,000 women and I didn't, I said 1,000. When you think about it , it isn't that unreasonable
