I DID suggest something more effective, that would be supported by all fans regardless of political leaning. You cannot unlink the symbol of taking the knee from the BLM movement, however much you want to. In all honesty I hate it happening in relation to football also because I don't believe racism is as prevalent in football as they try to make out, and I don't accept morons on twitter as evidence of an epidemic of racists as every player, politician, person in the spotlight will get abuse that's targeted at them. Football has actually been well ahead of the curve in terms of accepting people of all races, but if you have any event that gathers millions of people together every weekend (obviously in normal times) then there are going to be a few racists. If the aim is to eradicate racism from society altogether then to that I say good luck but I won't be wasting any time or effort, as without brainwashing of children freedom of thought will always lead to those who are filled with hate and prejudice.

Yes, as I say in my lost above, a joint gesture like lining up together behind an anti racism banner would no doubt draw unanimous applause from crowds.

Look, I know they're not doing it to show they are Marxists. But if they want to show solidarity against racism why not line up as one, players from each team mingling, behind a banner displaying anti racist messages or Kick it Out? If a group tried to adopt a salute of one arm raised in the air with an open palm but claimed it wasnt anything to do with supporting Nazism, there would still be negative connotations that meant a lot of people couldn't get behind the gesture. You can't just take a symbol and decide it means something completely different than it already does.

That's a huge amount of faith required on Ings part that simply won't happen. What happens in the mean time if Ings gets a serious injury or someone else pops up that Leicester prefer?

If Leicester were smart they'd be trying to get him as a Vardy replacement.

Big fan of Caitlin Morris, in more ways than one.

Been on the sauce Turkish?

I'm not saying we should test out a 2-5-1-3 formation and see how Walcott does at right back, just give a bit of playing time to our own players who he's been happy to start with in the past instead of giving as much time as possible to a Liverpool player who hasn't really made a huge difference.

No-one moaned about Minamino playing when something was riding on it. Now we are safe and can go nowhere, it makes zero sense to give him so much game time while players like Djenepo, Obafemi and Tella sit on the bench.

What's your point? We should ban all negative comments on performances in case the players read the forum?

Surprised to find myself not jealous at all. Today was emotional for a lot of reasons, fans back in the ground, the traditional Abide with Me after the year the world's had, and one of the small 14 getting one over a member of the franchise league wankers.

Maybe the final season and the way he left has tainted my memory, I certainly didn't realise his record was as good for us as it was.

One of the least controversial decisions it's made. Stopped Leicester being potentially robbed of a trophy in favour of a big club.

Have to watch it again but looked to me his original shot was just going along the ground.

It wasn't mentioned because it was deflected though, right?

He did play very well, but he still makes one big cock up every single game that leads to a clear opportunity and at this level it invariably gets punished.

I know the final is a sore subject for us right now...but I still got pretty emotional at Abide with Me and God save the Queen being sung by actual fans in the stadium.

😂 Such as?

Probably regrets his hat trick for England against Croatia as well, as he could have watched that game on TV in-between saints losing at home to Blackpool and away to QPR!

In relative terms? Sharp or Barnard second to Lambert. In premier league terms...Pahars? Phillips should have been but never got there for us.

I'm not sure they've had more investment than us, but the money they received from Maguire was spent much more wisely than the money we received from Van Dijk.

Atrocious, had more chances than any other player since he's been here and has produced less than all of them. Should get rid and be starting Tella next season.

Ethan tells a story about talking to an unnamed chairman of a similar sized club to saints who said that we're the "yardstick" for how they want to develop themselves. My immediate thought was surely Leicester should be but their progress I guess is skewed by the premier league win.

Armstrong was a defensive midfielder in this game too, he covered the exposed right back position regularly which Diallo completely failed to do there in Fulham's last attack.

When the opponent's attackers move over the defence have to go with them. Vestergaard marked his man and he didn't score.
