bus stops that move without warning. spent 20 minutes waiting in the snow and below freezing temperature before realising it'd moved.

In England it's the buses that move.  |

I'm getting sick of my Galaxy Tab. There's practically no gestures and I'm sick of the poor, laggy touchscreen with shit sensitivity and the sluggish bloated OS. I'm still going to give it more time though, because the larger screen is better for watching films (than my iphone) when growing a tail.

Park Ji Sung is Asian, and he plays for QPR and didn't Wolves have a Korean playing for them as somepoint?
The fact you can only think of two (and that they're Far East Asian rather than British Asians from the Indian subcontinent which is who I think he had in mind) makes Fola's point all the stronger rather than countering it. |

Are they on some form of rails or similar mechanism? |

Probably a cultural thing with Asian's. Whereas toffs are more likely to get into rugby and rowing, Asians are more likely to get into table tennis or cricket.

Quite. The lack of players of Indian origin is very disconcerting. Clarke Carlisle did some documentry and showed their were very large numbers of Asians playing at youth level, but none getting a chance. Michael Chopra is one, anyone think of another? Kaid Mohammed maybe? |

I think I've got my point across badly. He got his chance and plays professionally - I never said he was good! There are almost no Asains at youth level was my point. |

They are foreign, I mean British Asians. |

I doubt Kaid Mohammed would be of Indian origin, more likely to be somewhere in the Middle East. |

Football is not as big in the Asian community as in the white community in Britain I think. If an Asian lad was good enough then he would be given a chance I've no doubt. Maybe not 30 years ago but definitely now.
The whole black manager thing is a bit different. There are more black players than there were 20 years ago for sure. This should gradually begin to filter through into the management side as a larger proportion retire and seek alternative careers. Has Sol applied for managers jobs then? If not how would he know if its down to race? The reality is chairmen will always choose the best man for the job in their opinion. And rightly so. It's how life works.
If it was race then there wouldn't be so many foreign players/managers in English football full stop. Race isn't just about skin colour is it?

Asians are more likely to get into University followed by the Bar or becoming ; A doctor A dentist A teacher A successful business person It's not that they are Shite at football, more so that their cultural values guide them down a path of "proper" jobs |
