Last but not least, the third article in our series focusing on attacking potential takes a look at the defenders. We’ve already ran the rule over the midfielders and forwards in the past couple of days and now the men at the back come under analysis. Highlighting the top 10 performers in terms of threat in our own ICT Index, we also list the top 20 for goal attempts so far and cast an eye over their underlying stats to ascertain their possible Fantasy value going forward:

      It's an obvious no.

      However, I think when someone goes all out to hurt someone verbally, resorting to racist abuse may not necessarily make that person a racist.

      Calling someone fat and calling someone black are descriptive terms.

      It all depends on the context in which you use the language.

        They are both highly offensive. Granted, on a sliding scale of offence, one is much higher. To answer the original question, yes, it's similar, but one is much worse.
