Jude Bellingham: Ian Wright says midfielder's treatment shows England 'not ready for black superstar'

Former England striker Ian Wright does not think the country is "ready for a black superstar" following the media treatment of Jude Bellingham.

Saw this flash up earlier with the headline and didn’t bother reading as knew exactly what way it was going especially when I saw it mentioned people criticising Pogba as well in the snippet I saw.

Absolute drivel, you literally can’t criticise anyone these days without being accused of some sort of white privilege. It’s not about his race at all, if some one is an arrogant git like Bellingham or caught taking drugs like Pogba then it’s as simple as that you deserve to be criticised. But now if you criticise Wright for saying it your equally in the wrong.

2nd irritation of the day, We’re the only one in our road at the top end of the Cul-De-Sac with a drive. So this morning parked the mini on there to sort the CV joint for MOT retest, just got washed up to take it, gone outside and next door have parked right across my driveway

That’s not where it ends, they’ve parked their other car half across the entrance to the road as well so anything bigger than a small car can’t get into the road without mounting the kerb and grass verge!!

You know the biggest irritant of it all, they’re both Coppers!! So should bloody well know better

So what was Daley Thomson?

 

[Bazz]

I've heard of him

Anyway, I would have been asking him for his opinion of Jimmy Greaves.

Steve Walsh has too, lovely scrap that was.

An email from TV Licensing saying "We've noticed you've been using BBC iPlayer." - erm, no I absolutely haven't. There's a link telling you how to pay for a TV licence etc but no option to tell them they've got it wrong of course. Is this how they scam people into paying who don't need one?? I forwarded to their enquiries email asking for evidence such as dates and times. Got a form letter pasted back which has links to pages such as why you need a licence etc etc - not at all what I asked for.

Have a watch of the Blackbelt Barrister on YouTube. He lists the scams and questionable practice the Beeb has started using. He said he hopes someone crowd funds to take them on through the courts.

He also says don’t even bother contacting them.

From seeing your previous posts I think we are

Whenever we’re late it’s my fault for not telling her even though she’s the one that plans the timings of things. We’ve got a train booked for 9:03 tomorrow to get to Waterloo for just after 10am. She moaned this morning why have you booked such a silly early time, my response of well you’ve booked an appointment for a jewellery fitting in Selfridges at 10:45 means we need to get there and across to Oxford St to make the appointment she booked! Then get asked why did I let her book it that early

I cant believe no ones picked up on this?

What the hell is a jewellery fitting???

I think you need to be very careful my friend....sounds potentially very expensive...keep your hands in your pockets and be very non-commital when (if!!) asked your opinion.

Or Andy Mutch?

My wife!!! I’m off work for a couple of days thought I’d have a lay in. But Mrs M had other ideas 530am, main light in the bedroom goes on, her Shark hair dryer goes on which sounds like a C17 taking off, then proceeds to bang about doing her make up.

Maybe she's just getting ready for your substitute.

This country is ready for any superstar from any country irrespective of colour. Pele and Muhammad Ali spring to mind.

Yep, mine is too.
Did these men overlook things before getting married or were the benefits outweighing the concerns back then?
BTW, I'll have been married 40 yrs next year

Around here they only grit roads that buses go down......No bus..No grit...

Where I live (South Somerset) they do not even grit all the main roads. At least they publish maps of which roads they grit.

Said it before - the lack on manuals with new electronics

Took me half an hour today to work out how to switch my TV from satellite input to aerial input.

It’s actually not that expensive to be fair she’s having 2 things done. There’s a little Jewellers in Selfridges call Astrid and Miu they do special made to measure Welded bracelets specifically cut to size and welded into place so they can never be removed, she wants one with a birthstone on and also needs a piecing she has inside of her ear (daith I believe it’s called)swapped out for something more delicate and that’s the only place she trusts to do it.

All in all looking at about £250 which is reasonable for what she’s getting and we don’t really do Christmas presents so it’s like an early gift before I go away for work plus she’s worth it.

I’ve seen videos like that

To be fair mines amazing and does so much to put up with me

But we’re all allowed a little irritation and rant sometimes. I have no issue anyone that wants to call us men useless. In fact I’d probably agree because often I am
