Yeah I have no idea if it's racist or not, but it certainly smacks of "I'm an ex-Liverpool player and manager, and I can't resist the urge to have a pop at the new Everton signing because I'm in the priveliged position of being on a TV Network that is full to the brim with either ex-Liverpool players or actual fans of the club itself, so I know there'll be no reprecussions and they hardly ever bring an ex-Everton player on to dispute these sort of things with me, even on Derby Day where they'll have me in the studio and have Carragher doing colour commentary, so basically I can be as utterly bitter as I want and I'll always get away with it, which suits me fine because at heart I'm an embittered bully still angry that my physical prime has passed me by and I ruined my once chance to manage Liverpool by being a rubbish manager and selling a story to a certain tabloid, so I'll get my "cred" back with the cult like hoards by being as sickeningly pro-Liverpool as I can every time I'm on the box from now until the end of time"
Or something to that effect...
