Think you're deifying VVD a little bit here because he was the last piece of Liverpool's puzzle and so it looks as though he is the decisive factor in making the team as good as it is. Just because Terry and Kompany, for example, were at their clubs for a few years before their teams became...

I've read your posts. You're criticising a poster for changing their mind as though it is better to cling on to a misguided opinion than moderating it when you're confronted with evidence to the contrary or alternative viewpoints. That's a pretty strange position to take imo because updating...

:lol: :lol: Out of interest, what would it take to change your mind if not the experiences of people that are actually gay? Or is there nothing that could convince you might be wrong?

In your original post you called him a "fecking idiot", "insufferable", a "dickhead", a "twat" and a "bellend". And grouped him in with a man who assaulted his wife. A totally proportionate and fair response to someone being a bit reserved :lol::houllier:

It seems kind of strange that your default assumption is that racism is not at play given the incredibly racist history of this country and, in particular, the newspapers we are talking about here. Those are the kind of benevolent assumptions that people of colour don't have the luxury of making...

What has Sterling actually done to make you think he's an idiot?

I’ve just moved to the UK and the coverage here is an absolute joke compared to what I was getting in Australia. Premier league subscription came free with my internet package. Included every game live, on demand replays and highlights packages and this season the same subscription covers the CL...

You and others are focusing far too much on the intent of the fans, as opposed to the actual impact of their actions. Believing Evra has lied when there is incontrovertible evidence to the contrary (including, as others have pointed out, from Suarez himself) has the effect of diminishing his...

This desire to tiptoe around using the word 'racist' does my head in. If you direct abuse at a player that called out racism, that is racist. It's not just 'inappropriate' or 'deluded' or whatever other euphemism people want to use - it's straight out racism, even if not in its intent then most...

Great interview by Brewster. Seems like a really smart kid and incredibly courageous for a 17 year old https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/dec/28/liverpool-rhian-brewster-racial-abuse-england-uefa

Well this article suggests that people have disparagingly associated dark skinned people with apes/gorillas etc since the Middle Ages, so it's been a racist insult for a fair while actually. Regardless of when it started, the word has pretty obvious racist connotations. I think as a general...

I'm going to try and defend this by arguing people (theoretically, at least) have the agency to get involved in porn, whereas rape is obviously against your will The truth is that two and a half years ago I somehow convinced myself this would be a great username :lol:

FFS :lol::lol: You are seriously of the opinion that there isn't a patriarchal culture that normalises rape? Unfortunately not everyone has your "semblance of morals". That's why there are still countries in which marital rape is not a crime and there are people and media outlets whose first...

what a hit! Holland in trouble here
