Anelka

Then you play dumb, like Torres

A year !

The safest unsafe job in the world

Well WBA said they need to give 14 days notice, so i am assuming Niccy needs to do the same more or less. And of course there is terminating a contract and terminating a contract and like many he could just be a case that he is then taking 2 weeks holiday or something............

I like to live on the edge TCP

It definitely was not anti-semetic, another example of something that was anti-zionist/anti-establishment getting twisted into it being anti-semetic.

Is this a joke?
You say it's anti Zionist and suggest that that's ok. How is that ok?

Zionism is a colonialist and racist movement that has led to the denial of rights, dispossession and expulsion of the people of Palestine. I'm 100% anti-zionist, and I stand with all those who are as well.

Well I agree OP!Anelka has been treated unfairly.Kevin De Bryune I am surprised that the moderators have not banned you as everybody takes everything as anti-Semitic.

Anti-Semitic or anti-Zionist, according to the FA rules players are not allowed to make political statements anyway. At best Anelka was stupid. Whether you agree with him politically or not is irrelevant. If he wanted to make anti-Semitic or anti-Zionist statements in his own time that's up to him. But he can't do that during a game. It embarrassed WBA, and to compound the situation, all he had to do was apologize to all concerned and it would have been over. However, he's too proud to do that - of course. He wanted to maintain his "integrity". What a load of rubbish - he's just too full of his own self-importance. Good riddance.

He shouldn't have had to apologise, although I agree he shouldn't have done a political gesture in a match if it's not allowed, I didn't know it wasn't allowed, I thought it was only international matches due to the poppy England stuff. He should just accept the ban and stay, or at the least fight it.

I got to be honest. I consider at my age that I've been around the block a few times and am a man of the world, but until all the fuss caused by this I had never even heard of the quennell salute and it's connectation as being Anti-Semitic. Maybe I should get out more.
