It's also the fact Leeds United put it up on their official website! And followed it with:

 

"Leeds United will be making no further comment at this stage".

[Herbie von Smalls]

it's 'borrowed' from a derek & clive song 'jump'

 

as i was walking down the street one day

i saw a house on fire

there was a man

standing at an upper storey window

screaming and shouting at the crowd that was gathered there below,

for he was so afraid.

'jump, you f***** jump

jump into this 'ere blanket what we are holding

and you will be alright'

he jumped

hit the deck

broke his f***in' neck

there was no blanket.

laugh? we nearly shat

we have not laughed so much since grandma died

or auntie mabel caught her left t** in the mangle,

for we are miserable sinners,

fi-i-i-ilthy f*****s.

aaah-rse-holes

 

always worthy of an airing that

If you put the word 'mangle' into Google images, the third picture in is fairly faithful to the quote!

 

As has been said before in the thread, i'm not a fan of Bates but that quote deserves to become legendary!

 

[Ostrich Man]

You are correct OM. Heard it long long ago.

Chelsea - of all teams!!! accuse Bates of Racialism

 

Bates claimed, he told Tenenbaum that they were behaving "like a bunch of shysters from Siberia".

Chelsea's position is that the statement offends the sensitivities of a club whose owner is a prominent member of the Jewish community. They say the 16-day delay in bringing their complaint was due to the fact that they waited for unilateral action from the FA, the time it took to consult with legal counsel and that it was only officially authorised during a board meeting on Wednesday.

 

"Chelsea [have] filed a complaint with the Football Association against Ken Bates and Leeds United for bringing the game into disrepute," said the London club in a statement last night. "There are existing football rules [E3 and E4] that prohibit rude, insulting and inappropriate comments being made about other club owners, chairmen and personnel.

 

"In particular we are concerned by the implications of Mr Bates' reference to the Chelsea directors as 'a bunch of shysters from Siberia' and the discriminatory nature of this in terms of race, nationality and religion [rule E4]. Such comments have no place in football, a sport which is rightly committed to fighting racial intolerance and bigotry.

 

"The implication that Bates's comments about the integrity of Chelsea's owner, Roman Abramovich, and by association the club, were racially motivated is clearly intended from examination of the FA's rule E4. This forbids acts that might be considered, inter alia, 'discriminatory by reason of ethnic origin, colour, race, nationality, religion'."

 

The FA has undertaken to review the comments before deciding whether to pursue charges. However the governing body may be reluctant to pursue the case. In July 2004, the high court heard a case brought by the American boxing promoter Don King against Lennox Lewis's promotions company and lawyer, who had accused King of anti-semitic "bigotry" when he referred to the lawyer Judd Burstein as a "shyster".

 

In his verdict the judge, Mr Justice Eady, stated: "It seems clear from a web search of 900 dictionaries [including specifically American ones] that there is no support for the word 'shyster' having any anti-semitic connotations."

 

Chelsea will however argue, if the case is heard, that the word is a derogatory term in Yiddish and forms part of a wider smear campaign from Bates towards the club he used to own. "Chelsea believe these comments are part of a personal campaign being waged by Mr Bates against our club and his actions cannot be allowed to masquerade erroneously as being in the interests of football as he claims," they added.

 

Bates simply shrugged off Chelsea's anger. "We are totally amused and look forward to receiving [Chelsea's] detailed evidence to support their complaint," said a Leeds spokesman.

 

The FA's deliberations of Chelsea's allegations will not affect their consideration of the career paths of Woods, Taiwo and Rose. Woods and Taiwo are now Chelsea players; Rose remains at Leeds.

 

 

God they're a f'ckin joke

[floyd]

The statement was read out by that Chelsea chairman, Bruce Buck, who is everything that is wrong and right about that lot.

[Stevie H]

i heard bruce buck on the radio this morning and i wanted to punch him. he's nauseating.

[Coyler]

Brilliant.

 

"...since granny caught her t*** in the wringer," a Tom Waits-quoting Canadian friend of mine used to say.

[Andy @ Allerton]

I wonder how Chelsea have not spotted legions of their Laaandaan Scummy Racist fans doing Nazi salutes with their kids week in week out?

As someone who's Jewish, let me say... it's a f*cking joke to say (even if he did in fact say that, and I wouldn't trust Chelsea at all in this respect) that was racist. I don't see that as being the least bit racist/anti-semetic/what have you. C'mon. There's real anti-semetism and racism in the football world. But that isn't it.
