AFC Bournemouth v Rotherham United

That's not "how it is" at all. Shane Long is the one taking Surridge's place at the moment (wrongly in my view, hope Surridge starts tonight). He's as Caucasian as they come and from the exotic isle or...Ireland.

You're gonna need to make up yet another example to try and fit your painfully see-through agenda.
My posts can be a bit 'speculative' much as you get in the Press.....but only to tease out any other variations and themes...some of it is ' tongue in cheek' stuff and if I appear ' nationalistic' somehow...then its because want to see young British (and Irish) players get the jobs .....I.e. Surridge and Kilkenny.
Same with managers...Just my preference..what's wrong with that ?
Its not criminal..not to go with the flow !
Maybe..All to :chill: a bit!

Wilshere didn't really get in the game on Saturday, I would rest him here and use him as an ace up the sleeve from the bench. Danjuma was anonymous, we need to find a way of getting him involved. Surridge has to start, surely?

What about:

--------Begovic
Smith CCV Kelly Rico
Lerma Pearson L.Cook Stanislas
--------Danjuma
--------Surridge

That might look odd having Lerma right midfield, but he's done that before with success (home to Huddersfield). I'd worry that starting Brooks with Stan and Danjuma would make us a bit lightweight, against what will be a physical battle. Stanislas is poor on the right. Lerma and Stanislas will provide the full backs with more protection and help get them into the game, that's something we've struggled with all season.

Brooks like Wilshere can come on later to add the magic and go less rigid and more fluid, but we'll need to start a bit uglier I think. Get Surridge to sharpen those elbows!

This one is simple imo. Play Surridge and we have a chance. Play Long and it will be a struggle. We need a focal point and goal scoring threat, without it it’s just possession for possessions sake.

far too simplistic
you need to get the ball to your main striker first which we've spectacularly been unable to do for weeks irrespective of personnel, formation, manager, coaching staff.....
[I agree, surridge should start ahead of long, btw]
 
Lol. You get quite upset when you are criticised. I think most people prefer to be popular than not. Even your new best buddy Brian. Take this post lightly please. I’m sensitive.
Making my points or responding is not ' getting upset'..I'm sat here jovial 90% of the time...laughing at the over- sensitivity !
 
You think that Sam isn't getting picked because he's white?.....honesty i feel sorry for you.
He actually said that Surridge won’t get picked because the tendency is to pay players who cost over inflated transfer fees. He then goes on to make the separate point that the tendency in the modern game is to look abroad for foreign imports rather than giving homegrown players opportunities. He may put it across in a pretty eccentric way but he does have a point, especially at the top level.
 
For the record:
I am absolutely NOT racist...im really Not !
I abhor Racism.. I dont identify with its ridiculous and cruel purpose..or anything or anyone like Trump encouraging it.
People will take up tiny threads of others conversation and turn it into or loosely relate it to Racism...maybe they are being Racist themselves merely by making those connections !!!

Unfortunately we live in a society where in the eyes of the liberal masses, conservatism and racism equate to the same thing.

Think anyone who has to post that they are not racist says it all....

If someone infers that you are...then its right and normal that you state otherwise..
My wife's life was saved by a West Indian Oncology surgeon....and her sight saved by a Ghanian Eye surgeon..I am hardly going to be Racist.
Prior to that even, I had always supported immigration and movement of medical experts between countries...a necessary service...Football is not so essential is it ?

Brian you go at great lengths to point out reasons you are "not racist " and have nothing against minority groups,..... the lesbian barmaid, and disabled Jamaican come to mind....may have that the wrong way round......just seems strange when called out on anything, you trot out all your associations to prove you are PC....the latest being the surgeon that treated your wife.
 
Politics seem to creep into many of the conversations that are about other things..it taints many of the responses. If they think or know you are Left or Right..its right at the forefront of their reactions whether its relevant or not...its laughable sometimes.
I haven't voted Tory or Labour for quite a few years now...probably never will again.
But I and others will still get categorised by the extremist posters as being Left or Right.

Hypocrisy too is Rife on all Forums.
That can morph into some unholy Fun !
