What about if we could only sign a big, white, strong, powerful, athletic striker in the mould of Barry Hayles or Jason Roberts? Matt Harold, WYHHB? No, he was sh**.

Not a lot really, other than Barry hayles and Jason Roberts were exactly as I described. Certain ethnicities or races of people have better athletic qualities than others. I mention black people as they can be powerful, strong sprinters, with great cores meaning they aren’t shoved off the ball easily but can also still have great footwork. I remember Hayles scaring defenders rigid with his raw power and pace. You get a white european with a similar build they tend to be a bit one dimensional. Strong, but not quick. Again I remember Lambert being strong, but he wasn’t quick. Defenders weren’t scared of his pace. That’s what I was trying to get at. Not 'much' racial stereotyping here. Just because it's a stereotype doesn't make it untrue however. It's a fact that different races have different physical attributes and it's actually ok to acknowledge that. Unfortunately we live in a world where, for political reasons, the emphasis is on nurture rather than nature, so that less successful people can blame their lack of success on upbringing/societal bias/poverty etc etc rather than face the fact that maybe they just aren't as good at something as someone else. I am not suggesting that those factors do not play a rôle, just that they are not the whole reason.

Many moons later didn't scientists analyse Owen's physical frame and conclude he was totally unsuited for athletics. 🤣🤣

Have you checked down the back of the sofa? That’s usually where I find my missing pieces! 😉

Only if you prefer to employ a black man because of his skin colour because you hate white people, it is. Otherwise you are making an imflatory stupid comment. Which is what I should come to expect from you given your previous form on here. So anyone else but me made that remark it would be OK then No I would treat it with the same contempt of reply as I did you. But you were the only one who made that comment. Which, as I said, proves true to form.
