Apparently Big Ron said, 'he's what's known in some schools as a lazy...blah blah' which is technically different to saying, 'he is a lazy... blah blah', although not all that different, I suppose.

Ron: "What in heaven's name was f***ing Ranieri thinking in bringing Veron on?"
Second, unidentified voice: "He'll get savaged by the press.."
Ron [in an increasingly animated voice]: "Oh and f***ing rightly so. And I'm sorry, but I f***ing think that f***ing Desailly is a cheating f***. That was wrong."
[Noise from crowd and interference momentarily obscures Ron's voice...]
"He's f***ing been gone for two and a half years! And instead of playing like an old man and saying 'alright I'll f***ing stay where I can't get exploited'...I've always thought that he has no awareness of danger. He is what is known in some schools as a f***ing lazy thick ni**er."
[Still Ron, but now shouting]
"That is a f***ing disgusting performance. Full marks to them though. They were f***ing different class."

I saw in the Daily Star that Ian Wright says Big Ron 'taunted' him. I didn't bother opening it to get the full story 'cos I knew I'd never get past the tits.

N, do you remember my article where I said we should treasure Jimmy Hill?

"What about jokes about my long chin? I mean, nigger is black - so we have jokes where we call them niggers because they're black. Why should that be any more of an offence than someone calling me chinny?"
Gosh.
