Ha ha ho ho me sides are aching

What a wag Aragones is "Black Shit" Ha ha how funny - even funnier are his motivational techniques. He told Reyes he was better than Henry.

Ha Ha oh stop it Aragones, me sides are splitting. Reyes is good, but not as good as Henry, what a pathetic form of man management. Its the sort of thing you tell 5 years old, or encourage them by letting them beat you in a race.

Now unlike me Pires fails to see the joke (hang on while I wipe my eyes ho ho ha ha)
Pires was quoted today as saying "He should be sued for racial aggression," Pires said. "He shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it. He needs to be cornered on this.
"What he said is not funny at all." Now before all you Spanish experts write in (and true there was some confusion over translation) Pires is fluent in Spanish so he knows what he is on about.

It has also been proved that Aragones use the word shit. Now some argue he used the word Negro not Nigger - fine I hope thats true, and that Negro in Spanish means black. So it was black shit- so isnt that funny? However Negro is a Spanish word derived from the Latin "Niger" meaning black. Thus black people in the Americas became known as Negro or "Nigger to be offensive".

Now the Civil Rights movement might have passed a few people by, Aragones in particular, after all us football fans are more concerned with matters of life and death. I must admit I wasnt always paying attention myself, after all we were busy losing league cup finals at the time. However one thing that came out of the Civil Rights Movement was that not only did black people not like being called "Nigger" by whites, but they did not like being called Negro. They preferred the term Black, and as far as I know no special dispensation was given to the Spanish. But of course the problem remains that Negro means just that, black, in Spanish, it is others that have debased it. However if a Spanish speaker uses the term in an international context it is bound to take on a different meaning. Therefore context is everything in this case.

An update on Arseblog informs us:"The Spanish press are now reporting that what he said was ''¡Me cago en su puta madre negro de mierda!'. Which really is not a nice thing to say in Spanish - rough translation means 'I shit on his whore of a mother the black shit'."

Which means Pires is right this is not acceptable to any Football Fan and action should be taken, if it is not it will show that UEFA and FIFA are just hypocritical windbags.
