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.He was talking about a Leyton Orient fan.
Ah, fair enoughThat was a general point rather than being directed at you.
He's got a problem with Asian fans?He did.
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.It's not Luckhurst saying that. It's a RT. Twitter was different then. You had to write "RT"
I think he was shaming the guy who said it, not endorsing it
It looks that way yeahIsn't he just quoting another tweet or "retweet"
Yeah a bit weird to keep on using disparaging comments about "foreign" or non local looking peopleYou might be right! But still had a go because he was Asian.
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.Yeah a bit weird to keep on using disparaging comments about "foreign" or non local looking people
Given that Arsenal were playing Leyton Orient that day, it would seem pretty obvious.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.

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're actually Luckhurst, aren't you?Given that Arsenal were playing Leyton Orient that day, it would seem pretty obvious.

You'll never get to lead a twitter mob with that sort of attitude.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.
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!?
Quite ironic that he called somebody a pseudo intellectual in one of his tweets.He comes across as a bit of a clueless cretin.
That's very nice of you to say, thank you.You'll never get to lead a twitter mob with that sort of attitude.
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.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.
It really doesn't make whole lot of sense.Genuine question. Does he struggle with knowing what words to use in a sentence ?
Suspicious? In what context could that make any sense
I think he's implying that they were there to fill empty seats.Just don't get what's 'suspicious' about it?
You can no longer be Asian and watch football games as it arouses suspicion as to why you're there.
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.I think he's implying that they were there to fill empty seats.
Deleted.@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.
I think he's implying that they were there to fill empty seats.
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!What so they gave Asian people seats to fill them? Is he trying to say that there isn't enough City fans to go to a Manchester derby? It's clearly nonsensical bollocks.
He's not a racist. He's just a dumb feckwit.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 hard grounds for throwing around accusations of racism!
That's fair.He's not a racist. He's just a dumb feckwit.
He is always taking the piss out of City and their empty seats. Especially for big games.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.

Has already made discriminatory comments about asian fans so not that arsed if he gets sacked.Don't let that get in the way of some on here.
Which is unprofessional as feck for a journolist to do. What makes it worse is that he does it using xenophobic undertones.He is always taking the piss out of City and their empty seats. Especially for big games.
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.Has already made discriminatory comments about asian fans so not that arsed if he gets sacked.
Of course it is, but I have seen others do it as well, just not bringing race into it.Which is unprofessional as feck for a journolist to do. What makes it worse is that he does it using xenophobic undertones.
