Is that not like saying that "man" isn't a derogatory term, but if someone called your mrs one....?

People use terms to draw behavioural comparisons. I believe Aurier insinuated Blanc was gay not as a derogatory insult, but to flippantly justify the way he fawned over Ibra.

(Not justifying it, but there's clearly a disconnect in what people say is homophobia and what really isn't).

Was reacting to Bagelboy Bagelboy not Auriers comments.
 
Let me get this straight I am not condoning homophobia. Just trying to make a point.
We own the word yid.
Blacks have owned the word nigga
Some gays ever feel they should own the word faggot and reclaim it.
Some don't agree.
I was trying to make a point ffs.

You failed.
 
Not meaning to start another cunt-off on this glorious signing day I have put on my tin-foil hat.

The BBC have been running quite a few stories regarding homophobia on the terraces over the last few days.
Obviously it is a serious issue but not suddenly in the last week.
If/when we sign this Aurier guy I think we can all guess the headline they'll run with :(

They'll no doubt allow the masses to have their say as well (for balanced debate reasons :()
 
If everything goes according to plan, we are looking to sign 6 players this window.

Sanchez, Aurier*, Barkley* and new winger(Balde??) as first team players.

Gazzaniga and Foyth will join the development squad.
 
If we did buy him for £2-3m then haven't we overpaid for him? Hope we paid less and not more.
They paid £2.5m to take him from Gillingham. He had extended his contract in 2015 so had 2 years left of a total 6 yr contract.
