When tan speaks it's said he should be quiet. When he's quiet it's said he should talk. It's typical of our fans and the way they are with Tan. Can't do right for doing wrong.

You should start a Vincent Tan fan club, you don't half love the fella


Not at all I just hate disparity.

Disparity is a completely different meaning to disparaging. One is inconsistencies and the other is to put people down or slate people. I rarely do the latter.

Well you linked the words as if they were the same thing. I said rarely am I disparaging not never but in this thread I've just had a go at the trust a bit nothing much.
