Or, he doesn't do that at all.

The law also doesn't say he has a divine right to go back to the precise same job he did before. And the law doesn't stop Jessica Ennis, SUFC sponsors and supporters making it difficult/impossible for him to get a contract there. Or other people connected with other clubs doing the same in the future to stop him signing for them, too. So no cherry picking going on, and do do try and remember who the victim is here.

Alan Carr's old man always gets plenty of coverage.

The kit is not a f*€king abortion in fabric, and we are not run by an absolute c@#t. The myth we could only achieve stuff with a short arse weasel faced belle nd In charge has been smashed into dust. Easily the most satisfying season in my living memory. Delicious, simply delicious.

You and the other intellectuals keep weeping about the newspapers trying to destabilise us. I can never keep up with that brain power, that's for sure. Don't tell me, you nevva said dat.

Blog away. I'll just pretend I never said it, accuse you of not understanding nuance and then type out exactly the same thing again.

Err, you've just typed out exactly what I said you said. Odd. Don't flatter yourself with "nuance" sunshine, especially when you have such a pi ss poor grasp on how newspapers actually behave. The media has nuance but not in Hint: no-one is releasing certain stories, probably about Koeman and our senior players, to try to contribute towards a drop in form. No one is doing that. Although I fully expect you to come back and say you never said that, even though I've just fu cking pasted it from your post above. Crack on, captain nuance.

That's an "important principle" to you? Seriously? Okay then footballers. Rape who you want, as much as you want. They'll always be a game for you, and football fans like you will swoon over you like some martyr. We love a rogue, don't we eh? Kicking a football outranks anything you might ever do in the real world. If you're good enough, you're rapey enough. I love "principles", me.

Nothing better than the "I never said that" defence. So, anything you are prepared to admit you did say? Of course, you've never used the word "destabilise" on this forum in the last week? And you never said the media are placing negative stories about us because we are doing well, which you think they don't do for bigger clubs when they are doing well? My point was the Mitchell story was in the papers because it was, you know, kinda true and not there as part of a mission to destabilise us. But, you don't think that and never said anything remotely like that. So that's okay then. It's great when we agree entirely.

LOL. It's only a "non news story" to you because of your disingenuous paranoia. Why wouldn't Spurs poaching a member of our famed academy be covered by the press? You'll have noticed our academy has had quite a lot of coverage recently. Which is weird when you remember the entire British Press are apparently on a mission to destroy our Champions League push. Funny really.

That was aintforever's point in fairness.

There are plenty of figures in the entertainment industry who have seen their careers wrecked by convictions. He can try and earn a living but no football club is obliged to give him one. Let's see if those taking pre-emptive action against by removing sponsorship from SUFC succeed. I'd like to think so. Obviously all the cases you roll out are all identical and Luke McCormack didn't accept guilt and apologise to his victims. Oh. He did. And there was plenty of fuss at the time. Weak memory you have there. Part of Evans "rehabilitation" might start by doing something similar, but probably not while Internet fan-boys protest his innocence, bring forward their snippet-fuelled "well she was pi ss ed anyway" defence, and assuming he's going to be cleared eventually because he is now complaining to the CCRC. There's your bandwagon right there.

Since when do footballers get contracts on "entitlement"? If he's "entitled" to play for Sheffield United, then Jessica Ennis is "entitled" to take her name off their stand, sponsors are entitled to pull their sponsorship and fans are entitled to write, chant, complain etc. They are entitled to make it not commercially and corporately viable for SUFC to employ him. Trump his supposed "entitlement". I really like Nigel Clough and I'd like to think he'd resign if SUFC go ahead with signing him. He's entitled to do that too. The plumber comparison is totally retarded. If Ched Evans wants the same treatment as a plumber then he can come round my house and bleed my radiators. There are other professions where he wouldn't get immediate re employment back where he was, with the wider entertainment industry being a pretty decent example. A better example than effing plumbing.

Do you still think Spurs paid a journalist to make this story up?

He loves Le Tiss, has said so a few times before. Brilliant.

Wow indeed.

Let's call him sports personality of the year and be done with it. Maybe, just maybe, they're not wrong.

It's a weird coincidence that the story journalists were paid to completely make up about us in order to destabilise our champions league challenge turns out to actually happen, isn't it? Because it's just a coincidence, right?

Difficult to know what will happen to our Morgan in the next decade. But go for it anyway. You can always activate the "well I've always loved The Shawshank Redemption" get-out.

77-78 please. Nice one Steve.

Have they? Brazil 2014 was brilliant.

"You can have all the trappings of a professional football career as long as you don't rape anyone" sounds like "a bit of common sense" to me, mate.

It's difficult, but no one has a right to do any job they want. Especially not in a high profile environment. If it was Chris rather than Ched Evans he wouldn't just stroll back onto the Radio 2 breakfast show and The One Show. Any high profile football club has got the right to not offer him employment. If fans, campaigners and (possibly more importantly) sponsors make it difficult for him to get work in this country, so be it. He might end up in the Greek league or something. He can still be a footballer but just somewhere else. I think Jessica Ennis has made a very clever move. Hopefully will make the SUFC board see some sense.

Who is "they"?

He has come across as an absolute cretin with no remorse, especially considering the additional suffering his victim has gone through. There are certain careers someone convicted of rape would not be allowed to continue. I think the high profile nature of professional football should be included in that. I feel sorry for Nigel Clough being put into a really difficult situation while the Sheffield United board are too gutless/greedy to do the right thing.
