Jeremy Corbyn

Wouldn't really understand us signing him, he's clearly an alright player (technically very good, otherwise poor) but he's not better than we already have - unless we have a plan to offload a couple of the other attacking midfielders we have. Either way, unless Liverpool are planning on selling on the cheap, or it's a cheap loan, I'd hope we could do better.

It's just baffling that those who get genuinely upset about someone taking the knee then call others "snowflakes". When did people stop caring about not looking dim?

This signing will allow us to play Diallo as an emergency right back.

I'd hope this isnt seen as an opportunity to build for the future. We actually have a chance to win it now.

So we no longer think it's marxist or that players are being forced against their will, the real problem with it, is that it's a major injury risk.

So a founder considering themselves something is the same as the organisation being that something? Surely you're more logical than that?

Whilst I completely agree with the premise, can you point me to which of SKD's views you consider "valid"?

You realise that not agreeing with taking the knee doesnt make you a racist, but booing it definitely does?

Yeah, it's odd. He's very good at marauding forward, makes huge gains and then gets a nose bleed and doesn't know what to do with it or tried to play a hollywood ball. If he had a couple of sensible thoughts before taking off, his runs would be very effective.

My guess would be the clubs approached the players and said "by the way, can you take the knee to show support for getting rid of racism" and the players went "yeah, of course, few seconds of effort, why wouldn't we?". I expect the club, for balance, responded, "oh, but you have to consider that the gesture is loosely aligned with an organisation that is slightly left leaning", to which I expect the players responded "oh, you mean like Ryan?".

So taking the knee is like wearing a swastika? BLM are like the nazis? Fucking hell. And to your latter point, it's literally freedom of speech which the right rabbit on about all the time. If a footballer wants to come out and say or do something I disagree with, then I completely support their ability to do so. I don't start winging about my little football match being ruined by the bendy knees.

The argument "you shouldn't mix politics and sport" is the last cry of someone who doesn't have anything to say.

If a footballer refused to take the knee but decided to do something else anti-racism, I dunno kicked Farage in the balls or something, then I suspect they might be perceived as not racist. I also doubt they'd be perceived as being racist just by refusing, just lacking concern for it. Also, taking the knee may "have links" to a "far left" organisation as you put it, but as this image of Martin Luther King suggests, it's not BLM's fucking copyright. The only issue with it is that people aren't bright enough, so rather then actually thinking about it, they just go off what they read on social media and what their equally thick mates say. As for this country not having much racism, I guess that's subjective, and whilst we aren't as awful as some parts of the world, there are still large parts of the population who have issue with "foriners" and we all know it.

The consequences are that people will perceive you as not caring about racism, which is fair enough. You make get some kick back for that, but if you don't care about racism then of course you'll lose some support.

Assuming we take "woke" as a disparaging term to essentially mean off the scale non-sensical, then I agree. Being anti-racist isn't that though, and the majority support taking the knee because it is simply a gesture against racism. The only people I've seen who are uncomfortable with it are either racists or people who aren't very bright and take their opinions from Facebook.

The "majority" of people support anti-racism protests. I don't think the majority of people in this country are racist, at least I'd hope not.

Yes, I think they have a choice. I really don't understand what authoritarian, fantasy land you think we live in.

Conflating millionaire footballers taking the knee with marxism really must be one of the least intelligent opinions an adult can possibly have.

Although JWP is great and an important player for us, an overinflated transfer to Liverpool is not something I'd be against.

Good call. I'd go for Ings goal against Wolves and the Cash handball as that was just ridiculous.

Came across really well in his post match interview. Just a nice, appreciative, team orientated guy.

Yeah, definitely. I think its horses for courses and you might want more a more defensive player in tougher matches, but you get so much from a CM willing to surge forward.

I can imagine Theo, teeth clenched, staring at his FA cup medals wishing he had one for the Johnston Paint Trophy instead.

It's greally great seeing someone so happy to score.

Next seasons front 2 with the goals.
