It just keeps on getting worse for Real Madrid... It has just been announced that Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane has suffered a hamstring injury to his right leg and could be out minimum of 1 month.

General La Liga Discussion
SirBalon replied to Carnivore Chris's topic in Spanish Football Forum - La Liga
The LFP (La Liga) are planning to name the La Liga MVP (Player of the season award) the Trofeo Messi in honour of the FC Barcelona and Argentina international. With this his name will join the other two illustrious football legends with awards to their name in the shape of the top scorer award being called the Trofeo Pichichi in honour of the Athletic Bilbao striker from the 30s Rafael “Pichichi” Moreno and the best keeper award for the season called Trofeo Zamora in honour of Espanyol and Real Madrid keeper from the 40s Ricardo Zamora. Rafael “Pichichi” Moreno Ricardo Zamora Lionel Messi -
I hate spiders, they make me panick just mentioning them... But in this case I'm afraid of something else even more!

Yeah but going to PSG is Europe's version of retiring from elite football minus the Champions League and a cop-out for me. I would never swap PSG for Man Utd even in United's present state.

I can't see De Gea doing anything other than staying at Manchester United to be honest. The eternal connection of him with Real Madrid is now over after the Spanish club signed Thibaut Courtois and I doubt they'll. (Cause more havoc by going in for De Gea) they'll go in for him. The only real option in Europe is Juventus as has been mentioned in the article but seeing as De Gea is a Manchester United icon, I doubt his advisors would recommend the move. Where could he possibly move? There aren't that many options of high level status clubs.
-
That would be an experiment for a top Italian club let alone a totally new league.
-
What's better than Cesc in the market? Thiago Alcántara from Bayern? Thats about it and he would be proper expensive.

As you can all see that for all of the importance racism has, there are things more important like money first and foremost and then our individual self worth.
-
That would've taken a while and the plane would've lost it's take-off slot plus the reports having to be made in a very meticulous manner because it's a foreign national. The plane losing its slot would mean a loss of money for the airline company and the serious risk of the flight itself being cancelled which would mean even more money for Ryanair with new tickets having to be issued and the loss of their paid slot for landing in the UK... I'm sure those higher up would've told the airplane staff to try and sort it in a manner the slot could be maintained and that then they'd report him to UK authorities at the airport they landed in. Then you have the selfishness of the paying customers and their limited time on arrival (jobs and families)... All of that doesn't mean that practically everyone thought that old man wasn't a bigot, a racist and a disgusting excuse for a human being. Unfortunately today's society is based on self worth.
-
More than cowardice I think and have a strong feeling it's more a case of selfishness, a mark of today's society. If they all made a scene the flight would've surely been aborted and the authorities called to enter the plane.

Yeah, as I said in my original post, Ryanair reported it to the Essex police. It’s obvious why they done it because to leave a national in another country under the custody of foreign authorities gives the company a major headache. Obviously it’s been done before especially for drunk ahd disorderly situations, but those cases are dealt with very quickly by the national authorities and the person tends to be out and on his or her way back to wherever they’re from without much delay. Racism in Europe (although it exists in all regions) when it’s reported ends up being made big news as this one has which has made all the international news desks especially in Europe. Ryanair isn’t to blame for the fact a racist was on one of their aeroplanes but they are to blame for not handling it correctly while on terra firma because the passengers were still boarding.
-
They indeed should've thrown him off the plane as he would've had to contend with the authorities in a country where they do something he doesn't seem to like which is people speaking a different language. It would've been funny to see the British Embassy refusing to help him in his case which is what occurs in situations such as these.
-
I think she was escorted to another seat and not off the plane if I'm correct. As for more people showing their disgust... I think slowly slowly more we're starting to make their feelings visible but we must remember that there are all sorts of psychosis involved here from the selfish situation of hating being on an aeroplane and wanting it all to get moving to being afraid of showing and venting their feelings for whatever reason. Then you will possibly have those that feel the same as the racist. Apprently he lives in Essex and has been reported to the police in his local area. Ryanair has been slaughtered in the press and social media for not throwing the animal off the plane.

Many of you will have probably heard about this story that happened a few days ago on a Ryanair flight from Barcelona to London. But for those of you who haven't, be warned! This video isn't apt for any of you on the human being side of the species...

I had a very expensive Dyson because I’ve got a dog. But it lasted very little and I reverted back to good old Henry. Nothing deives like a Henry mate... It’s like the old Bristols.

Mate, from what you’ve just written it’s plainly obvious it wasn’t aimed at you or anyone that has your eating habits. Although you know as well as I do that you could cut that take-away crap completely and it would benefit you even more. My wife also cooks as I do (I’m an amazing cook actually) and we cook almost everyday except on most weekends when we go out to eat mostly on Saturdays because I can’t do without my Sunday Roast and I want to do it at home with the best ingredients I can get which makes a massive difference... Oh, and my wicked Yorkshire Puddings. I know plenty of people that do take-away food at least two to three times a week and then when they do buy food, they buy pre-cooked something or other that either goes in the oven or the microwave. For example, if on the rare occasion I eat chips at home, I buy potatoes, peel them, cut them into chips and then fry them in blended olive oil (obviously not mad enough to use extra virgin for that)... I could go on and on about this but I’ll give a little anecdote about what I KNOW goes on in many households here in London at least. When I had my part-time hobby of creating fish & chip shops there was a moment where after work I’d pop into one of the ones we opened which was the Islington branch as it was on my way home. It was just to have a beer in there and have a chat to the employees sort of thing. I noticed the eating habits of some of the locals. The area we opened that shop in has a mixed demographic because right across the road there is a Council Estate (a notorious one with some very unsavoury people and others that are really nice but caught in a vicious circle unfortunately)... Then you have the rest of the surrounding area which is Angel Islington and Canonbury before you filter into Highbury... In other words the N1 and N5 areas of Islington. During that time I’d arrive there, I would see the same families almost everyday going in to get take-aways for them and their families which in this case consisted of children too (young children). They didn’t even bother to order fish, they bought that poisonous stuff called savaloys! I tried not to sell them, but my business partner insisted and I get it from a business perspective as the profits are massive. If it wasn’t savaloy it was jumbo sausage which is made out of absolute garbage. How can you feed that to your children man! That’s criminal! Anyway... Here goes... So one evening this guy who at most was in his early 30s comes in with what looked to be a 7 or 8 year old child. He orders with our guy behind the till a sausage and chips and once he’s taken his order the man asks how much the fish would cost because (in his words), he would prefer his son eats fish. Our guy tells him the price which is obviously considerably more expensive than sausage and chips and the man says to forget that, too expensive and he’ll get the sausage and chips like he originally ordered. Now, under nornal circumstances I would’ve told the guy that’s behind the till to just give it to him at the sausage and chips price seeing as it’s for a kid, but I didn’t (immediately) for one specific reason... What was it? The man was dressed head to toe in expensive branded clothing and what made it worse is that he was wearing a £700 leather jacket... I was raging! Had that guy not been with his son and said those same words I would’ve burst and told him exactly what I think. But I didn’t want to undermine that father in front of his son as that would be a major sin. I went to the bathroom and calmed down before I came out and ordered our guy behind the till to give the man a cod and chips. I also invited them to sit in the restaurant to eat it because I personally wanted to make sure the child was the one that put it in his stomach and that it wasn’t a trick. I then left and it was the last time I did my visits on my way home because that hurt me to see something of the sort. Anyway... What one does with his or her body is a personal choice. We can all have our views and opinions... I have mine as expressed on here. But what I WON’T give slack on is where someone chooses to be a parent and then feeds shit to his or her child.

You criticising my Henry?

True but the power lies ultimately with the people. The same way over 700,000 marched into Central London yesterday calling on another opportunity to vote on Brexit, the same can be done for other things. We as the people can bring down anything we like in days, we have the ultimate power and can make the decisions we like. We are just made to believe that we can’t! Let’s take Amazon as one example of thousands just because they’ve been more in the news recently... If we all stop using Amazon for a month they will go under... There’s nothing else for it, that’s the power of the people in every walk of life where decisions are to be made. Demonstrations only go part of the way because we have the power for more, we actually have power to take action!

Angela Merkel has suspended the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia after the torture and assassination of American journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Bravo Merkel, bravo Germany! Over to you UK and of course the home nation of the victim. Now is where we will see if Mr Orange has balls like he pretends to have. Obviously Mrs May doesn’t have a pair but she surely could pretend.

Mainly because politics have become the playground of the ignorant and the disillusioned... We aren't protected anymore, we aren't looked after and the directive is no longer one with a foundation for the common good. We are now fully bedded into a new era which is totally designed for that 1% that own the world's riches. I could go on and write a very long and boring (repetitive) piece on things practically all of us know about with very little innovation. But there's no point because we have all been so conditioned in such a short space of time that we don't really even care anymore. There was a time when a decent proportion of decisions made were put into place under ethics and morals. It's never been perfect, but right now it's an absolute hell! The level of hypocrisy and unethical values is basically the cathedral of every single Western parliament.

How it SHOULD be mate is like this... It should be the MUSLIMS clearing and cleansing their own house. Because anyone else meddling is wrong but if the righteous side to Islam hasn't got the balls to do it, then we should clean humanity from this disgusting example of a species that is unfortunately associated with the rest of us.
-
The problem here is wahabism and the fact humanity has no use for it and pollutes human sensibilities... Making a plan to rid the world of this total garbage is what we all should be looking towards.
-
Yeah but the journalist wasn't tortured and murdered because of that. That occurred because they are a backward controlling society that doesn't understand freedom.
-
WWI started for less! NOW we are all going to see the level of hypocrisy in our respective governments. Why don't we just wipe them out and then the oil is ours?
-
Definitely but I'm not taking my socks off unless you raise that by 93p... I'm not a cheap slut you know!
