The world is not a better place and it is people like you who are stirring up division when there isn't any problem in the first place.Had enough of all this crap.

For me the team that finished 3rd in the league in the early 90s, minus barber and pardew. Don’t think that any of the current team would be in my best 11.

Times are indeed different but even so Vince is brown/black and we have had some wonderful Black players and at no time was the chant derogatory. In as much as you can say white person you can equally state black person. There have been many horrendous and offensive terms to describe people over the years but I think this is a bit ott.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything. |

I have to go back to my early supporting days of the mid/late 70s.

My two favourites were Hayden Mullins and Chris Armstrong. Mullins because he was so much better than the rest of the team and felt like he floated across the pitch. Armstrong was just quality and ahead of his time. Would thrive in today's game.

Really - on that basis I’m your age and would never refer to anyone “as the brown boy on the wing” - I find that totally unacceptable inappropriate and abhorrent...!!! Well said, will we ever learn?

The wingers that get the levels of anticipation rising and the sound of seats banging as the fan stands up will always be my favourites . The best of those ,the most productive was probably Peter Taylor but the one I loved to watch the most was Yannick . He just did so many daft unexpected things ,worth the entrance fee on his own .

Bolasie was great to watch when he was on it. He had such quick feet and the flick against Tottenham was a thing of beauty.

Shaun Derry - for steering the ship in 2010 when everyone else was jumping off. Chris Armstrong Aki Riihilahti Yannick when he was at his peak with mazy runs Wilf - goes without saying, though I don't think he will ever reach what we all thought was his full potential
