Well in the 'black' community this is taken as an insult ..... Rio may be going on a holiday with his brother during the season :rolleyes:

So it's basically saying Ashley Cole is a 'choc ice' because he isn't coming down on the same side as someone with the same skin colour simply because he should regardless of the truth? Sounds racist to me. Certainly would be if a white guy said it and choc ices were chocolate inside with ice cream outside. :rolleyes:

It's not only racist, it shows Ferdinand up to be less intelligent than I thought he was to bring it down to this level.
