However, Guardian is reported he said of Desailly 'He's what is known in some schools as a fucking lazy thick nigger.'*
He also was caught out calling Tottie a 'little twat' on air 18 mkonths ago.
* - That'd be those fee-paying schools. Runs for cover

I was thinking earlier that it might have been a studio tech who'd got pissed off with commentary such as the above, who could then have left the mike open. If this kind of thing is endemic amongst commentators, I'd certainly be well hacked off if I was lowly scum who couldn't complain for fear of my job. But I dunno, it might just be a mistake.

On a related note, my Turkish taxi driver last night said to me 'I'm not racist, but Jews and blacks can't drive.'

He was full of vaguely unsavoury stuff on that Room 101, his comments about physios were particularly wrongheaded, but they were amusing when I saw it. I can't help but feel this incident will change all his quirks from "quaint and funny" to "prehistoric and useless", as his popularity bombs.
X-post, "ATLANTA GEORGIA, BIG RON, LITTLE JON, ELEPHANT MAN, 2004," god that would be amazing.

I can't understand how anyone could even think such nonsense! I mean it's not as if there's a shortage of brilliant footballers who are black.
