He's still the best comedian I've ever seen live.

Can you imagine the offence he would cause today to those who enjoy being offended by anything? 😊

Manning was a man of his time i.e. the 1970s/early 80s when it was “normal” for TV in general to poke fun at blacks, Asians and Johnny Foreigner in general. Even in that environment, Manning managed to cause offence which shows how extreme his brand of humour was.

It's gone too far the other way now though and being easily offended is highly fashionable because we are told what we have to think and say.
Schools don't have blackboards anymore, they're called chalkboards. Who decided the original term was offensive and why?

He just say to people who had a problem wIth his jokes the same he said to people who had a problem with him in the 70, 80 and 90s.

Get F#cked

...and Rome burns...

please don’t take offence at getting back to topic but anyone know what Ajayi’s sell on clause for Cardiff is should we sell him?

Wonder why he didn't make jokes about big fat Mancunian barsteds or Thatcher who he was a great fan of?

His piss taking was selective and showed what his political standpoint was. If he took piss out of all sections of society fair enough but he didn't.

In a nutshell, Bill's post encapsulates the difference in mindset. Barnsley rant and rave about receiving circa £3 million for a centre half whos had a good season in the third tier. We have a player whos played two out of the last three seasons in the championship. During which time he received full international recognition, received a championship player of the month award, got moved into midfield, showed he can cover at right back if required, scored EIGHT goals in a season, is hardly ever injured ....... and barnsley offer £600k!!! If it wasnt so disrespectful it would be funny.

But what makes it even worse is that some of our own think that £600k would be a fair price.

I work with dingles. The vast majority are sound blokes, but I'll tell you what they don't half over value their players. Keiffer moore was "looks ok, id sey his w'orth about haaalf a milli'un" but is now "three mill, ****in minimum". The only difference being he originally played for us and now plays for them. It really is bizarre.

Barnsley (town and club) is like a puffer fish. Rotherham (town and club) is like a cowardly lion. We've been told so often that we're ****, we believe it!
