It wasn't racist and it wasn't xenophobic, it was just stupid (and you guys are seriously guilty of crying wolf here).

All he had to do was say nothing, or stick to the cliches. "I don't want to see my players injured - that wouldn't be good for our fans"

Or: "injuries are obviously a big part of it, we'll see how it goes"

So he's an idiot.

But please, can we keep the race card in our pockets until its needed?
