I think he said something along the lines of someone being 'mentally challenged' and got banned :duh
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

In Sabu's absence I've taken to trying to do The Times crossword.

Infinitely easier than trying to decipher one of Sabu's posts but nowhere near as much fun :)

The really fun bit of a Sabu post is reading the comments from all the newbies after it 😂

"It"?

The whole concept of Sabu Pundit.

It's mocking the Indian Accent.  I find that distasteful.  Others may disagree.

I related it to clever use of vocabulary and writing skills, a bit like when Les Dawson played piano out of key.

A very difficult skill to master rather than mocking somebody.

Angie, it could be perceived as any one of a whole host of demographics - the appeal of Sabu wasn't identifying which culture is having the piss ripped out of it - if anything, he's ripping the piss out of us with his pigeon English. I found it hilarious - from a linguist's viewpoint as much as a football supporter's viewpoint.

Genuinely don't believe that there's anything malicious, xenophobic or racist about it.

To me, that's a bit like saying Life of Brian is an anti-semitic or even anti-Christian film - it's not - but then again, it's understandable that the line between satire and insult is very, very thin at times.

For a start Sabu is an Indian name.  I don't agree with you, sorry.  Oh and Alan telling people to read the posts in a Indian accent.

Alan isn't in charge of how we read so I'm not sure how that affects the rest of us. I've never done that.

We don't know if Sabu is actually Indian, would that make a difference?

That's okay, you're absolutely entitled to your viewpoint. In any case, his identity (and motive) remain a mystery and, as you observed, he doesn't appear to be returning any time soon. Perception is reality and we perceive this differently.

He was supposed to be Indian? I thought he was just taking the piss out of 'in the knows' and people that blew their own trumpets?

Didn't make the Indian connection with Sabu, but it seemed fairly obvious it was a gimmick where English wasn't the person's first language.  Wasn't particularly funny either.

I think so. But Yoda is also meant to be like a Hindu/Buddhist wise monk type of figure too isn't he. Think that's where his name comes from. I can't say I found Sabu that funny but it's more meant to be parody of that sage type of character than taking the piss out of Indians I imagine
