Now I'm gonna sound racist here but I think its a fair point.
Guest posted a topic in GF - General Forum
Now this Gangster gets shot. Who happens to he black. And Black youths kick of as they think it was a racial attack. Now don't get me wrong here, people who are of a different race ask to be treated as equals. So why do they treat a person that was shot who happens to be black or any other time when it helps play the race card? Now if you are of a different race and want to be treated the same, racist wouldn't be a word in your vocabulary as you want to be treated as an equal. So calling out racist shit is kinda contridicting your morals. Pisses me off big time.- 94 replies

ABEL XAVIER 2002/03 by Dave Usher Date of Birth - 30/11/72 Nationality - Portuguese Position - Defender Games - 21 Goals - 2 Club Hons (Lpool) - None Intnl Hons - Portugal Caps Other Clubs - Estrela Amadora, Benfica, Bari, Real Oviedo, PSV Eindhoven, Everton, Galatasaray (loan), Hannover 96, AS Roma, Middlesbrough, LA Galaxy (USA) Santa Claus lookalike Portuguese defender who joined the reds in what seemed a cut price deal at the time from neighbours Everton midway through the 2001/02 season. The signing would end up costing Liverpool a lot more than the initial £800,000 paid to the blues however. Xavier proved to be a terrible purchase., His arrival spelled the end for promising young full back Stephen Wright, who found himself on the sidelines as Gerard Houllier had to justify the outlay he'd made on Xavier. A solid, reliable performer for Everton, he failed to show those qualities in his time at Anfield. Used almost exclusively at right back, his lack of pace and slowness on the turn caused him countless problems against quick wingers. There were some high points, notably a goal in the 6-0 drubbing of Ipswich at Portman Road and another in the 4-2 defeat in Germany to Leverkusen. But overall Xavier struggled to make any impact at Anfield, and never looked like justifying the reported £40k a week salary he picked up during his time at the club. That hefty salary made it difficult for the reds to get shut of the player, but eventually Turkish side Galatasaray came in and took him on loan. The move turned sour pretty quickly however, and the Turks cut short the deal early and sent him back to Merseyside. Liverpool didn't want him back though, and ended up paying up the remainder of his contract rather than allow him to return to the club. He had short spells in Germany and Italy before returning to England with Middlesbrough, but his time at the Riversie wasn't a happy one and included a suspension for failing a dope test. xavier then moved on to the United States, where he would become a team-mate of David Beckham at LA Galaxy.
