Obviously all over the news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25788992Thoughts on the whole thing? On the Zoopla response? On the latter I think, from their perspective, its a brilliant win-win move. They get moral kudos, possibly get an immoral individual removed from the club and, somewhat cynically, they may get huge marketing value. They could potentially sever the £3m a year deal yet, from all the uproar, attract more attention to their brand from their stance on the episode than 3 years of shirt sponsorship. |

Its a Jewish owned company...they want a swift resolution to this. He should have been banned for x games right away instead of this dragging it on.

Absolutely agree.
The French FA spokesman immediately condemned the gesture as "disgusting", and the French understand its implications far better which might in some way excuse our FA's tardiness in responding.

Racism aimed towards the Jewish and Gypsy communities in this country is passively tolerated in a way it never would be against Asian or Black members of society.

Good of them to give WBA the heads up that they won't be renewing, seeing as the deal was due to finish at the end of this season anyway.

Zoopla get much more advertising from announcing they are not renewing than they would of by paying to renew

I think it's fitting that they make an announcement on Holocaust Memorial Day. |

Not sure if I am lacking awareness but I had simply no idea what this gesture meant before the media blew it up. Feels like this minority comedian in France (or whoever it was originated it) got a lot of free promotion by the fuss made and might have been better ignored and just quietly pointing out Anelka is an idiot?

Have to admit, I was unaware of the gesture until this happened. Sometimes it feels like we're going backwards at a rate of knots. I hate the French, they're all complete racists  |

It doesn't sound like very balanced coverage on the face of it. |
