And is now a very good tourist attraction which I expect actually makes money. Went there a few years ago and was impressed with how they made an interesting experience out of something that is not even that old. The bloke is just a complete loon.

If they were that concerned about small boats they should have asked him when and why the small boat problem started.

Agree with this. Surely if a club our size is going to copy a playing style it should look at the Leicester side that won the league as an example of how to punch above your weight in this league. They never had a lot of possession and were strong on the counter attack. We were the perfect storm of shit players playing an open style, probably made worse by the fact that all the other clubs have spent years facing Man City so when we try and do the same thing with Smallbone n co, playing against us was the easiest thing in the world.

I dunno, taking off Fernandes who is probably our only outfield Prem quality player and replacing him with Smallbone deserves criticism.

Man City, Arsenal and Everton away - we could easily concede more than 12 in those.

Smallbone surely?

What sort of cunt takes off Fernandes for Smallbone?

Agree with this, though the oldies winter payments thing was handled badly. I get why they wanted to make the unpopular decisions early but doing it so soon after the election just made them look too dishonest. I guess only time will tell if it was the right decision, being unpopular now doesn’t matter, it’s only what people think in four years time that counts.

To be fair they have spent money, just not done it very well. This could very much be out of the frying pan into the fire.

I disagree. If you are fleeing war or persecution you are a refugee regardless of where you decide to seek asylum. That is just a fact. How you get somewhere and wether it is legal or not also doesn’t change that fact IMO.

The 1951 Refugee Convention does not require a person to claim asylum in the first safe country they reach so you are just talking shite as usual.

I agree that economic migrants arriving here illegally should be sent back, absolutely. The fact that they are mainly young males doesn’t necessarily mean they are all economic migrants though, could just be because they are more able and willing to make what is a difficult and dangerous journey.

You can want asylum seekers to be treated humanely and fairly without wanting to share your home with strangers. I don’t have a problem with my tax being used to pay for an asylum system that is fit for purpose, I don’t expect anyone to have to give up rooms in their own home. Is that pious enough?

Cooper makes the most sense to me. Leeds and Burnley both hired managers with experience of promotion out of the Championship and it worked for them.

Your concern for the welfare of criminals in jail is about as convincing as that of the Millwall fans concern for the level of Police funding during the BLM stuff. That's just my opinion.

Na, you're not convincing me.

Don't forget your deep concern for the welfare of those murderers, thieves and child abusers locked up in that Scottish prison. Must be horrible for those poor souls to be in the same building as a tranny.

I’m pretty sure sport’s governing bodies can already make up their own rules on this.

Agree with all this, I just get wound up by all the hype surrounding it as much of it is fuelled by ignorance and transphobia. The Scottish prison case is a classic example. The person involved was housed in a segregated area so was no threat to any female prisoners - didn’t stop a load of outrage from the sort of people who usually don’t give a shite about the welfare of criminals in prison.

Transphobic abuse and attacks.

Well I used to work with a trans woman if that counts, helped me understand the issues they face.

You clearly have a problem reading, I don't disagree with the judgement and am happy if it solves any problems women have been having. I'm also happy to call out transphobia when I see it, an it is obvious from certain people. Those that are all of a sudden really concerned about the welfare of criminals in prison when usually they are the first to say 'let them rot and throw away the key'. It reminds me of when those Millwall fans claimed they were booing taking the knee because someone from BLM in the US wanted to defund the police, Millwall hoolies, not racists, just all of a sudden concerned about levels of police funding.

I will always use abusive language to people like you. I don't disagree with the verdict just recognise that it's a complex matter and Trans people's rights are just as important as anyone else's. I get the issues but also know transphobia when I see it.

I'm just glad you can sleep at night now. I'm sure you are genuinely happy for women and not just a transphobic twat.

So nothing actually happened to you relative then, that's good to hear.
