Anelka

[obob]

Why is the FA taking so long to decide?

Zoopla have dropped their sponsorship from next season. Storm in a teacup or is it deserved? I'm not so sure as several other footballers have been seen doing but everyone ignored it but anelka doing it seems to have prompted a massive reaction (overreaction?)

So if other people did it and they can say they didn't know the context then why can't anelka? I've read this bloke diopadeu?s charges for anti Semitism and to be fair, France must be wayyyy over the top on antismeitisn, he is an idiot but I thought he was the 2nd Hitler the way the press talked about him.

I think he'll get six games or whatever Suarez got for racism towards evra.

Ooh been charged now, 6 games? Or more because antisemitism is worse than any other form of offensiveness?


Edit: Suarez actually got an 8 match ban, not 6.

Alan Cleverley, chairman of the West Brom Supporters Club, says: "It is probably a good thing [that he has kept quiet]. He has done better to keep quiet and let things take its course. He has been a little bit more sensible now than when he made the gesture.
"When it happened we were all taken aback. We didn't understand it and I think most WBA were shocked."

He didn't understand it but was shocked!

Anyhoo if he knew what he was doing and it was offensive to jews then I expect him to get 6 months.

No one's ever accused Anelka of not being a knob have they? Personally I have no problem with him getting pelters from all directions. Shame he's brought it on his club though.

He used to be a nob but hasn't been a nob for ages.

the anti zionist sort who denies the holocaust happened,who believes the world is controlled by jews ,is anti-establishment as long as the establishment is jewish,and who preys on an audience comrpised mostly of illiterate african muslims immigrants who are extremely anti semitic ?

Factor in that france has had huge anti semitic issues ,there has been a mass exodus of jews from france the last 10-15 years.

apart from that hes an alright guy.

All his AntiSemitism convictins seem to be for calling people Israeli soldiers, antisemites, sons of hitler or sons of Israeli Soldiers.

And also he can't be very pro-muslim, he seems to be best mates with Marie Le Pen. What a weird bloke!

Not sure where I stand on this to be honest. Anelka deserves a punishment I think, Zoopla were a bit childish but their contract was coming to an end anyway.

his last conviction was for saying that some jewish guy should be sent to the gas chamber,he has claimed that 'jews are the biggest crooks on the planet' ,he preaches that jews control the world ,sorry Im really struggling to see how he isn't anti semitic,he hides it behind a mask of anti zionism but it comes out .

Can't find that but I agree, he does seem to be a .

Do you mean the previous NF leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen or his slimily PRd daughter, Marine?
Twice we bail France out in the space of 30 years in the 20th Century when they are steam rolled by extremist regimes (the second time being fascist) and the buggers still won't learn.
The country is hugely anti-semitic (as was said above there was no shortage of French people getting on-message with the Nazis)and suffers a major dichotomy as to whether their bogeyman of choice should be the West African muslims, the North African muslims or jews. So while the main NF message is anti immigrant it's activists will always positively react to an anti - jewish / zionist / israeli (delete as appropriate) theme.

I thought the 'up yours' quenelle in France was delivered with a bent forearm but as a gesture it appears to have fallen behind the flicked digit nowdays.

Jean Marie I think I read.
