Most Gibbons are white, so I would say yes, most definitely.

We could call him Mandrill, but they are all kinds of colours, I think we'd all be racists then.

I think we could all learn a thing or two from the gibbons.

But its not a racist thing calling him monkey boy. If he were black then there would be uproar. Fact is he has the facial features of a monkey. End of. It aint racist.


No, it isn't, but...

I reckon it's pretty inadvisable to make monkey noises and/or gestures at a football match whatever the circumstances, given their historical significance. It's just bad taste. Likewise, it's pretty sad that a group of middle-aged fellas would take pleasure in taunting a young lad over his admittedly unfortunate facial features at a match.

It's not a particularly funny nickname anyway. Almost as bad as Dazby's 'Superjaw' moniker for Milner. Sorry, Dazby!

It doesn't upset me to the point where I'd try and shut down its usage on an internet forum, though.


Anyone for an inflatable banana? It's about time some things were reclaimed, like the flag of St. George was.

If fans and posters on here are going to be asked to refrain from referring to Bale's simian characteristics, in all fairness they might have also to be asked to stop using the term "Whisky Purple Nose" (or other such suitable and appropriate epithets) for Ferguscum.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander (or, in this case, not good), I suppose - but how boring would that be ??

Making monkey chants might not be racist, but has anyone ever accused him of having a massive schlong? Now that would be racist!!

His career has been funny. He was complete trash as leftback and couldn't defend at all. Move to midfield and he has been terrific eversince.

Mancini has tried the same with Kolarov. LOL.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Wasn't 'Arry on the verge of selling him for about £1m because every time he played, Spurs lost? Then he shoved him in midfield due to injuries and then the press claim he's a tactical genius.
