  1. How long did it take you

    'hate' is a pretty strong take for someone who is still a legend at the club so it's fair people are pulling you up on it. For me, this season was make or break. I'd generally enjoyed the ride up to now, but this past month or so has been as bad anything in the post-fergie period. I agree with...
  2. What have you changed your opinion on?

    While still fairly early days at Chelsea, I thought Tuchel would flop based on... well nothing more than hope perhaps? I'm probably blinded by a dislike of anything PSG. He's slowly becoming my favourite non-united manager. He's clearly doing a great job there and I can see why he's so popular...
  3. Great article on the rise of the weird online fanbase

    Yes, but this applies to all sorts of things - music, movies, anything really. I have long suspected it's because to say you like something is like opening yourself up. it might make someone feel vulnerable to some extent: for example, at work today we were having a conversation about our...
  4. Phil Jones | 2021/22 Performances

    Absolutely. Supporting a team means supporting the guys through thick and thin. Jones has been with us through some tough times, but he daren't get up on social media lest our 'fans' give him abuse for having the audacity for being injured. Yes it sucks that he's not as available as we'd like...
  5. Tammy Abraham - Roma Striker

    There are some bizarre takes in here... do those saying they can get a decent pizza in Leicester or wherever realise that the food is only a part of the experience of the lifestyle? I mean I had worse curries on a beach in Sri Lanka, for example, than some mad expensive sit-down restaurant in...
  6. I see the 'ABU' Media are back in full voice...

    ah, the same Wilson who penned the 'No wonder Man Utd beat Leeds - look at the wage difference' clickbait headline article. I suppose this is part of the new journalism - it doesn't matter what you wrote as long as you get clicks. Well it just goes to show - with this and Ronnie returning - we...
  7. English Football and diving: the days of moral superiority are over

    It was interesting that the Italians were clearly revelling in the freedom the ref allowed for physicality. You'd think in the past, English players would have been up for the battle, but the English attack and midfield (Rice aside) were completely out-fought by a snarling and aggressive Italian...
  8. LGBT issues in Football

    so in your view changing the policies of a country is impossible? With that attitude we'd still be living in places where women can't vote and segregation is still a thing.
  9. LGBT issues in Football

    Sigh... I promised myself that I would stay away from this awful thread. But like picking at a scab, I come back to re-open the wounds... Oh no; the hypocracy of the left is revealed! Alternatively, maybe, just maybe, we are more likely to criticise the actions of Hungary, Poland and...
  10. LGBT issues in Football

    Given the church has long called for the extermination of the lgbt community (public shaming, running conversion therapy etc) they have made themselves a target. the extent to which activists 'attack' churches rarely goes beyond graffiti or silent protest. meanwhile, those who are publicly out...
  11. LGBT issues in Football

    Yes and no on the church front. surely you can't discount that most polish people would say they're Catholic - indeed many would reject the current popes calls to modernisation. and, yes major cities are a different matter, the majority of poles still live in places like radom or Zloty stok or...
  12. LGBT issues in Football

    sorry dude, lgbt free zones are not 'crappy signs on the middle of nowhere' but a reality for people whose lives are directly affected by this. don't pretend that pride events are routinely attacked by far right groups. oh, age the recent violence against lgbt exercise events. homophobia and...
  13. Maurice Ross and Todd Kane

    Problem is though that intent is very hard to prove. While there are clear examples of tweets etc being made to abuse people, a lot of the time comments are made in an ambiguous way. While most people were unhappy with the banning of Cavani, I think deep down a lot recognised why it was upheld...
  14. Will you still support the club?

    If anything, this whole debacle has made me connect more with some of the players (Shaw, Maguire, Fernandes) as well as Ole. From what we heard, it seemed they were as angry as the rest of us. I have genuinely loved watching them grow over the last couple of seasons and this reinforces a lot of...
  15. An open letter from Joel Glazer

    Actions always always always speak louder than words. We've all seen what these leeches have done and the only thing they do to repair the damage they've done to the club's reputation is to get out. They clearly don't give a toss about what we think and see us as customers; there to be fleeced...
