I'd actually be interested to hear what Elphenor thinks of Jezza's antisemitism. It's quite surprising he is a Corbyn fan really, given these accusations.

or is this another name for Corbyn

it read like Jezza was a Corbyn fan

Jezza = Jeremy Corbyn

Was just wondering what you made of the antisemitism accusations directed at Corbs.

Merit is anti-Zionist though.

I already gave you examples if you could be bothered to look.
And, again if you read my posts, I never said it wasn't racist. I just said that isn't the only possible reason he's getting stick. If someone posts quotes where fans are calling him racist names and linking that to his performance, sure, no problem. It's racist. But you can't just assume it's racist without proof because, as I already said, it's quite likely some or even a lot of his detractors are in fact black. Brothers don't band together when one of them loses the match for them because he couldn't hit the broadside of a goal net.

Why we are pretending his Liverpool carry on has nothing to do with this I do not know.

If you browse the World Cup thread, TopLads of the forum have been saying his finishing is appalling for quite some time now. And I do rate Sterling, but his shooting is unquestionably terrible. Not even his biggest fan would be able to deny it.

Because these two know about as much about football as I do about free jazz but continue to debate it as if they know what's going on.

I've not implied that I know what's going on or who we're talking about or even implicated it. That's on you.

We're not discussing soccer. We're discussing you being ethno-superiorists.
