Clumsy but he's got a point

Maybe add in knife crime as the icing on the cake

Ravel Morrison, Mason Greenwood?

What’s wrong with stating the truth?

Only issue I would have is you could add names like Joey Barton, Wayne Rooney, Anthony Gordon etc. to that list.

Allegedly.

So, he makes the point everyone and their nan knows to be true.

Ah but if he had mentioned those names it would have made it impossible for the race card to be played......

Or is it the point that everyone and their nan simply assumes to be true?

I know nothing about the backgrounds of any of those players and don't know what other opportunities they might or might not have had if they hadn't been successful in football.

To make sweeping assumptions such as those that have created the story was clumsy and insulting at best. Whether they were based on race is another issue, but it was a stupid thing to say.
