It is a special kind of ignorant that makes comments like this twit. My guess is that he wouldnn make such crass comments if he had to deal with such a thing on a day to day basis.
The irony is that life would be so much better for our children if there were a few less thought less idiots like Husty about. One thing is for sure, if he knew and loved someone struggling with this shit he wouldnt be making stupid jokes about it.
Respect to all you who understand and try to make things better.

The same way spastic was used, the dutch sticking kanker (cancer) in front of every insult and referring to stuff as 'aids'.
It's been common for a while to use very serious illnesses/ailments that are devastating to the sufferers and their families as a means to insult people in the most despicable fashion. Of course I'd rather it didn't happen but you only need to spend a few minutes with some of the younger generation/s to know it is common.
Funny that with all the racism and xenophobia that flies around this board from many of those concerned this is what hits a nerve. I love and cherish more than one person on the spectrum and I wont be retracting my comments.

And players and managers use it all the time. It's obviously a word that seems to have lodged in people's minds, so maybe they should bring it back.
But until they do, it's incorrect. And pedants like me will carry on pointing it out.

I agree with your point here but hope that having situations explained to them will make them think a little more before using such terms on a very public and wide ranging forum. Judging from the comment below this may not happen any time soon but he has said he has just left uni so prehaps he will wake up when he grows up and stops knowing eveything.

All the racism and xenophobia on here gets called out, this is a pathetic mealy-mouthed excuse for your ill thought out joke. And yes it does hit a nerve with me and others who are desperately trying to make the world a more understanding place for our loved ones who for no fault of their own are on the outs of society and in grave danger off falling down the cracks. But as long as you get to make your jokes, none of that should matter i suppose
Then stand the **** up for them and help them (and the rest of us) to educate others about their lives and challenges rather than belittling them with your snide remarks.

I believe the first tranche of PL money for the season has already been sent to the clubs, and the rest comes in another 3-4 tranches through the season, so it's already in substantial lumps.
Edit, I found this link (Newcastle) which describes it has month by month but with particular lumps around the transfer windows.

So, we have the money - time to spend some (over and above the day to day expenditure) on new recruits.

When i say large I mean another 30 million

Strange that references to other mental/behavioural conditions aren't met with the same reaction.
Schizophrenic is commonly used to insult or denigrate for example.

This is Tony Bloom we are talking about, just really cannot see him spending a stack of his money... what is it now ... 200 million... to then not give it a right good go staying there.
Some posters should have far more faith in the man than is currently on show.
It hits a nerve with me.. I am affected by this and also volunteer a lot of my time at a Special Needs School. Lets just say, you need to educate yourself [MENTION=12486]Husty[/MENTION] and I feel sorry for you!
