More or less sums up race in Italy (and Spain, and other countries which haven't had the postcolonial experience we have had). They have a vague inkling that racism is a problem, but they have absolutely not a scooby what it is or how it works.
Liverpool's Carabao Cup fixture confirmed....

Xhaka no longer captain.
What's Samatta with Liverpool?
Chelsea’s home form is proper shite. Two wins all season I think.
First Tanzanian to score at Anfield I would have thought.
Being shite at home is a small price to pay for being gods of the road.
I thought 'Dave' was just offside.
If we get anything out of this Ajax should be closed down.
The same Ajax that managed to biff a 3 goal advantage in a half against the spuds.
Sounds a mental game.
We should win by at least three now. Should get six, seven eight easily. No one can play with nine.
Dortmund
What a strike by Kondogbia.
The Genk manager looks like Taika Waititi.
Should have pissed this, and would have done if Abraham could head. Oh well, at least we've salvaged the head to head on them.
Reece James should start every game. What a bloke.
That new angle of Kolasanic scaring off them two blokes at knife point is mental. Stands there ice cool whilst being jabbed in the arm with a knife.
Lol man just stands there like "Are you done? now? now? aw fuck it" and goes after them lol
Only turned it on but why are they bringing on Walker? If they have a sub left then why not bring on the sub keeper?
That's some shite luck then.
Cracker in Zagreb:
L. Ivanušec 83' (assist by B. Petković) 2 - 1
A. Ademi 89' (assist by Daniel Olmo) 3 - 1
3 - 2 90'+3 Júnior Moraes (assist by V. Kovalenko)
3 - 3 90'+8 Mateus Martins (PG)
Probably my favourite thing in football is seeing an outfield player in goal. A novelty that has never worn off.
Convincing argument, how are you expected to win in those sort of conditions?
I think he's just showing Xhaka how to dig at your own support.
You know your team is in bad nick when the opposition have beaten you giving a piffling 100%.
The most entertaining Derby in the world tomorrow, troops. Strap in.
I like the latest "We're not racist, mates!" line from Italy, this time from the Verona chairman saying their fans aren't racist but they are sarcastic.
Sarcastic monkey chants.
Apparently the day after the game 4 councillors from Verona sent a letter to the club asking the act strongly to fight this terrible defamation against the club and the city, and giving them their support.
The Verona manager and owner also both denied that it happened when asked after the game.
Then Ballotelli released the video. It all went quiet.
Yeah, the Verona manager didn't even say he hadn't heard anything, just full on IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
What a fucking strike...
Surely Michael O'Neill could have held out for a better job than that.
How does Shane Long get chopped from the provisional squad when Scott Hogan remains?

I didn't even know he was dead.
I knew he was dead but would have said it was much more recently than that. Fucking hell.
Come on you bhoys in Green. What a result
Chris Sutton topped Neville’s orgasm sound at that winner. What a bloke
Martial
Mourinho is such a retard for how he treated him.
We should have about 5 already. Rashford really cannot finish to save his life.
He's played really well, too. Completely ripped them apart. Yet he's missed everything.
They've wisely chosen to drop off him and let him over-think everything.
