One retweet and another that I believe is referencing the video where Evra used the n-word during his Monaco days. Probably suggesting Evra's use of the word isn't comparable to Suarez's which is correct.
He does seem to be a bit petty though.

What makes you say that? There's plenty of tweets where he's aimed his ire at Asian fans so I'd be wary about giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Ah, fair enoughThat was a general point rather than being directed at you.
He's got a problem with Asian fans?
Why are they idiotic?
I know It's orient but still...
A RT usually means you agree with that someone is saying. However his next or previous tweet to that one would give a better indication. Did he condemn it then? Because just retweeting something, to me anyway, shows you agree/support what was tweeted.
How long before someone rings the police to report him. To be fair, he is a xenophobe, that much is clear.
Calling people who disagree with him a fanboi is still hilarious. Or a fifa stat worshipper. Or his best one, 'well have you been to Old Trafford' or if the reply is yes 'well ive clearly been there more than you' or something.
Its too funny.
Its too funny.
It looks that way yeah
Suspicious and disheartening that 6 foreign people have took up first row seats in 50K seater stadium. The feck!?
Yeah a bit weird to keep on using disparaging comments about "foreign" or non local looking people
He comes across as a bit of a clueless cretin.
It's not good. Could also be he is one of these Manchester United for Manchester fans only, who despises the fact that some of us aren't from there.
He's enough of a tool without having to resort to misrepresenting things, and calling for him to be fired seems unnecessary to say the least.
Given that Arsenal were playing Leyton Orient that day, it would seem pretty obvious.

Just don't get what's 'suspicious' about it?Suspicious and disheartening that 6 foreign people have took up first row seats in 50K seater stadium. The feck!?
You can no longer be Asian and watch football games as it arouses suspicion as to why you're there.
You're actually Luckhurst, aren't you?
You've also been having a go at Di Marzio and his 'cronies' in the Fabinho thread. Then in this thread you're here to stick up for him.
You'll never get to lead a twitter mob with that sort of attitude.
Genuine question. Does he struggle with knowing what words to use in a sentence ?Suspicious and disheartening that 6 foreign people have took up first row seats in 50K seater stadium. The feck!?
Suspicious? In what context could that make any sense
Quite ironic that he called somebody a pseudo intellectual in one of his tweets.
That's very nice of you to say, thank you.

No. I just find the idea of vilifying someone and publicly calling for them to be fired from their job, just because they hold firm to the club's briefing that there's no interest in a player everyone has decide we must sign, to be ridiculous. Even if he's a bit of an idiot.It really doesn't make whole lot of sense.
What a disgrace. Racist in its finest.
I think he's implying that they were there to fill empty seats.
It's all just a bit of faux outrage really. No one would have given a feck about his tweets had he kept his mouth shut regarding Fabinho.
feck with the muppets at your own peril is all i have to say!

@VanGaalEra do you not think it might be an idea to delete at least the second tweet from your OP given the context has been explained? It's not beyond the realms of possibility that this could be seen by people at the M.E.N.
Well, quite. But he said United aren't in for Fabinho (beacuse he was told that's the case) so he should be sacked, obviously.
Deleted.
What so they gave Asian people seats to fill the stadium? Is he trying to say that there isn't enough City fans to go to a Manchester derby? It's clearly nonsensical bollocks.
Yes he appears to be saying they padded the stadium out with people flown in from abroad because they wanted to avoid the embarrassment of empty seats in a derby. Sounds like bollocks to me too, but it's hardly grounds for throwing around accusations of racism!
He's not a racist. He's just a dumb feckwit.
That's fair.
He is always taking the piss out of City and their empty seats. Especially for big games.
Has already made discriminatory comments about asian fans so not that arsed if he gets sacked.
Which is unprofessional as feck for a journolist to do. What makes it worse is that he does it using xenophobic undertones.
I'm surprised senior journos at MEN haven't told him to tone it down.
Except we suspect people have taken that the wrong way. He is remarkably stupid. He should have just said that they have brought in fans to fill the seats. As soon as you bring a race into it, then people are bound to get suspicious.
Of course it is, but I have seen others do it as well, just not bringing race into it.
Had a quick scroll to his twitter, and there's tonnes of fans ranting at him.
Can't quite see what started this all off. Simply him saying we're not interested in Fabinho?
Bearing in mind the club themselves put out that we weren't, and bearing in mind it doesn't sound imminent, what's the problem?
This is outside his other borderline dodgy/out of context comments.
