EPL 2012/13 General Discussion and Banter Thread

[CrowsFan]

What's sleeping with someones wife and racial abuse got to do with each other LE? Why should Ferdinand be punished for being abused by Terry?? ???

Seriously he should be receiving the same punishment, there is no way you can dispute that. Both found as racially vilifying another player so both should receive the same punishment. As should any player who does the same thing. Don't really know why you are bringing United fans in to this at all to be honest??

Rio Ferdinand racially abused Ashley Cole by calling him choc-ice on social media...

I'm comparing the punishments (or lack there of) of a United player as opposed to Terry.

I'm not denying that Terry allegedly racially abused Anton Ferdinand but United supporters really aren't in the position to dispute his punishment.

The FA is corrupt.

[CrowsFan]

Considering Ferdinand is also a coloured person I don't think that really matters to be honest. That's just like me calling someone else a white boy. Plus choc ice is not really a derogatory term.

Giggs' had nothing to do with football, just like nobody gave a shower when Garrincha shagged a goat. Terry's was football-related as it was with his teammates gf.

Reckon Terry (and Suarez for that matter) should've been given longer sentences. As Joey Barton said, he got 12 for fighting which is much less then racial abuse. Should be 15+ minimum.

Haha this is funny. We are really just going round in circles though :P

What's done is done though and it seems that none of us are happy haha

Lots of goals last night what is the lowdown?

1) Chelsea are fantastic
2) Uniteds defence is mediocre
3) Bale is incredible
4) Everton can TURN IT ON!!
5) Newcastle are forever in debt to a man named Demba Ba

Keep in mind you were missing Vidic, Jones and Smalling.

Vidic is crucial; one of the best Centre backs in the world... Smalling offers more defensively than Rafael too,

I do have to say though, Johnny Evans is a giant piece of sh**.

[CrowsFan]

Smalling will be playing CB when he's back. Rafael is pretty much the number 1 choice RB now, which I am very happy with :)

[elephants]

Rafael -- Smalling -- Vidic -- Evra

Something like that?

[CrowsFan]

Yep looks good, but then there is also Phil Jones to come back as well who I rate higher than Smalling. Reckon they would rotate Smalling and Jones to partner Vidic so they get some great experience next to a great player. Also Buttner to eventually push Evra out of a starting spot if Evra continues his demise...

[elephants]

Some very good young Left Backs in the premier league!!

Kieran Gibbs
Buttner
Ryan Bertrand
