Do you work with Heskey Messi?

:)

No.

It's impossible to make fun of Heskey.

From an article today...
Details are sketchy - officially Chelsea are accusing Clattenburg of using "inappropriate language" in two incidents - yet it has been reported that Chelsea's players claim to have heard the match official calling Juan Mata a "Spanish t**t" and, much more seriously, use racially charged language in an exchange with John Obi Mikel when booking the midfielder in the second half of the 3-2 defeat to Manchester United.

Isn't "Spanish twat" racially charged, then?
I don't see the difference.

'Spain' isn't a race.

Suarez is a filthy cheat who lashes out with the intention of maiming.
He could also eat an apple through a letter box!

'Spain' isn't a race.

But they are a 'racial group' under British Law.

F**k. Me. What a result!
Gotta feel a bit sorry for Reading. Not to the extent that I'm not doing a little victory dance though!

I only put it on at 4-2 thinking I missed all the action, what a game :)

Game on.

Game off
