Lambert trying to sue Norwich

Utterly ridiculous and disgraceful move from Lambert. He breached his contract by leaving and now he wants us to pay him.. After all the support he got from the Fans and the Board he thinks this is the best way to repay that support.

I hope he doesn't get a penny, I used to respect him but now he can go **** himself. :mad:
 
I'd say most people that make racist comments are not actual racists with the thought that people of a different origin are lesser or anything, still a **** for calling them whatever though.
 
Well it still makes no sense in comparison to the Suarez case, unless the FA are instinctively assuming Suarez is a racist, based only on the evidence of the actions its still pretty shifty.

In what way does it make no sense, Suarez was done for repeatedly using a racist term, Terry for using it once.

The FA are rarely very clear on these things however if they'd been a bit more vocal of exactly why Suarez got the ban he did, and compared it to Terry's people would basically not be mistaking why they got the bans they did.

Barton got a 12 match ban because he made 3 separate offenses. We expect someone who punches someone to get a ban, and someone who punches two people to get an extra ban... why is it odd that Suarez gets a bigger ban for using racist terms more than Terry did?

Because it contradicts the attitude from the kick racism out of football initiative. The precedent set by Suarez is that being racist = 8 games, but in this situation racism is scaled like Bartons aggressive/moronic behaviour so more incidents in the once case = longer bans.

To me it smacks of belittling the kick racism out of football movement by setting a standard of how you can be more or less racist by action when the whole point of it being an offence is that it is just not acceptable to be racist at all, ever. In no situation should the FA be able to get a graph of comparative racism and then dish out comparative punishments.... (well aware this is a bit silly but it is how I see the FA on this case)

To be fair to the FA's panel, they did also point out that they don't believe (nor did Evra) Suarez was racist. That point didn't get reported by the press as clearly as it is being in the Terry case though.

And Ashley Cole's latest tweet:

Hahahahaa, well done #fa I lied did I, #BUNCHOF****S

Chelsea press officer Steve Atkins says "I would say not" after being asked if left-back Ashley Cole's tweet was appropriate.

Hahaha... bet there are a lot of facepalms happening right now at Chelsea. :D
 
We've got to give Big brave JT some credit - everybody was wanting Hodgson to ditch the old guard and bring in younger players. With one comment Terry has ended his, Rio Ferdinand's and now possibly Ashley Cole's international careers.
 
Ashley Cole has definitely had his phone stolen. Which is weird because he usually keeps it in him at all times ......on...I mean on.
 
Apparently #BUNCHOF***** is a common greeting where Ashley Cole is from, and his grandfather was a #BUNCHOF*****, so it's not insulting.
 
Abu Hamzah is going to appeal to the FA having lost his latest court battle as there is a chance in all probability that they'll let him stay. :p
