Atkinson called Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly a "###### lazy, thick nigger"
Now if anyone wants to justify that, feel free.
Ian Wright was on Radio Five earlier this evening where he described ocassions where Atkinson made similar "joke" comments to him and Garth Crooks.
Atkinson said that he said he had only made them in jest, but continued to make them and ignored the insult that it caused.
