Yeah, let's right this one off.

If Spurs somehow miss out on 5th then I'd love for us to sign Son. Seems a very Klopp player.
He'd cost more than Mbappe with Levi doing the negotiating.
I don't think I've seen a more talented Asian player, to be fair.
I was reading earlier about some record Cronaldo was in danger of breaking for consecutive goals in Serie A, then I see he didn't feature at all today. Did Sarri just leave him out?
Think it was Batistuta's record so glad it still stands. Bet there's some seethe going on there if he was left out.
Ashley Young terrorising Serie A.
So, Marega of Porto was racially abused in a game tonight. He decided to walk off the pitch. The rest of his teammates instead of showing support, shouted at him and tried dragging him back when he was trying to leave the pitch.
Took him a couple of minutes to get off as he was obviously emotional. Soon as he left the game continued as if nothing had happened.
Apparently he asked to be rested anyway, boo.
Got a lot of time for Lazio after watching that game. What a bunch of misfits on a mission, manager included. I'm quite enjoying these Serie A Sunday evenings, having probably not watched a game from Italy for about 10 years.
Cursory lol at Real Madrid, City really ought to absolutely spanner them whenever the play.
Celtic done them home and away with a virtually full strength team. Scotland’s back.

In footballing terms, Australia is not Asia. They just play against Asians.

I’m hoping he did that deliberately and isn’t that thick.
This is Sincere. He'll think about it, decide he wasn't being thick and then call me a pussy.
The opposite, surely.
In the footballing terms, Australia definitely is Asia (the link you posted even has an Australian winner).
The question is whether Australians should be considered when generally discussing 'Asian footballers'. I think they should be now, but can understand the reluctance when discussing historical figures.
Interested to hear @Queenslander thoughts.
He’s Australian so he’s not Asian. Where he plays doesn’t come into it.
Yup - awful behaviour. Excuses already coming out. "They were trying to calm him down so he didn't get a second yellow card". "They didn't want the racists to win".
Imagine being racially abused in a bar, and when attempting to leave, your "mates" start screaming at you and dragging back into the bar to finish your pint.
The twat with the man bun especially needs a good slap. Absolute madness though, he clearly wanted off and all of them pulling and dragging out of him, even one of them making the ’loopy’ sign.
Like you say, how they try paint this should be laughable.
That Son goal was just sickening. No one to blame but ourselves, but still, absolutely gut-wrenching after such a brilliant game.
We are definitely asian when it comes to football. I would consider the current under 23s to be Asian footballers.
It is hard to get across how big the Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai communities are down here especially during the world cup and asian cup years. The sub continent blokes dont like football.
Since when is a nationality "when it comes to football" a thing?
And more importantly does United being European "when it comes to football" mean I can ignore a lot of the Brexit bollocks? Because if the made-up hogwash isn't going to work in my favour then I'm not interested.
I guess when a country like Australia changes Confederation halfway through their existence.
It may be different for Queenslander, but for me, Australia is basically Asia anyway - it doesn't feel like a seperate continent - and feels more contected to East Asia than countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia.
I see what I have done.
We are an Asian country if I was to attempt to explain my opinion to an American or European.
You're not, on any level.
As a European I can tell you that shit does not need explaining. Australasia is its own continent, not Asia.
They've got one of those pick a combined side things on the BBC website for United and Chelsea. Really highlights how few decent players both have got. Think I ended up with some weird 3-3-3-1 formation as otherwise you're essentially having to commit to one of their leftbacks, all of whom are dreadful.
He should be doing this season, but...
As if to prove my point the final analysis has an ageing centre-half turned rightback there. Williams would have been a better shout. Also lol at Abraham getting in.
Barcelona have been given permission from La Liga to sign a striker, despite the league being outside of the transfer window, due to the injury to Dembele. What a joke league.
Never noticed how much Tim Cahill and Alexis Sanchez lookalike.
I don't see it at all. That's just racist.
I've missed something here because I'm not sure why you've posted either of them.
Pedro-Batshuayi-Willian is as good as it gets.
I’ll leave that to you to decide. Not sure scoring goals would be the appropriate answer though
I've just noticed that we have the same amount of points as Man Utd and Chelsea combined.
I’d missed this. He must have been out the day they were handing out brain cells.

“Speaking on BBC Radio Derby's Sportscene Podcast, Ramage said:"When I look over and I look at certain players, their body language, their stance, the way they act, you just feel, 'whoa, hold on a minute - he needs pulling down a peg or two'. So I'd probably say that about all the young black lads.
Lol
