I was born in the wagon of a travellin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of doctor good
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

I honestly think if he learns to play unselfishly, and somehow stops getting injured all the time, he has what it takes to be a quality number 10. I agree he hasn’t got the pace anymore to be as effective playing off the shoulder. And he was never a Kane/shearer like poacher. He has quality in that left foot though and he actually does have an eye for a pass when he chooses to look for it. So he gets injured on purpose? Never implied that he did. He does often get injured, if he can somehow manage to avoid that, is what I said.

I'll just say it sounded mighty racist then. I don't think Gypsy is a race. You may have found it offensive or disappointing but unless you're of Gypsy decent it shouldn't offend you. Why would it offend someone of Gypsy's decent? I mean if you say a Gypsy is offended by being called one, others shouldn't be?

They are a European ehtnic group of darker skin. They were among ethnic groups targeted by the Nazis and killed in concentration camps. http://www.crystalinks.com/romapeople.htmlUsed as a racial epithet pejorative for "shifty, lazy, dishonest, crafty, etc." So the common use is rather crass and a bit bigoted. I don't have to be one of them to point that out.

If someone called me a cockney i wouldn't be offended because I'm scouse. Someone called studge a gypsy and another takes offence? Anyway it's only my opinion which usually isn't worth much so I'll leave it there.

Anyway it's only my opinion which usually isn't worth much so I'll leave it there. The word was used to describe Sturridge, so the logic doesn't hold. Using a racial epithet to describe a person of color is not the same as them using it to describe me. If someone called me the n-word, I would be confused. If someone uses it to describe a friend of mine who is black, I will be angry. There is a difference, see? One is disenfranchising and othering a person. One isn't, at least not successfully. Especially when said poster has frequently lambasted him for engaging in elements of traditionally black culture (dancing, hip hop, fashion, etc.) as somehow making him weak and the fact that he's injured somehow more inexcusable.

I don’t know how he would avoid getting injured. That’s why I included the prefix “Somehow”. Did all of you fail gcse English or something? What I’m saying isn’t exactly hard to grasp or in any way ambiguous.
