You can't be serious contenders for the title for a few weeks. You don't win anything in December. I'm enjoying our brilliant form and it's so nice to see after the last few seasons but I'm not being ridiculous and going overboard. I'll be extremely happy with European qualification and leave it at that.

Lame thread which will look more lame as the months go on. We have a great chance of Europe this year which would be superb.

It's why this sort of thing is disgusting. Not only does it devalue actual racism, by claiming that you can be unintentionally racist they can effectively call anyone they like racist. It's pathetic and best ignored (and finally the government seem to have cottoned on as they have banned implicit bias training for civil servants.)

On a separate note, does anyone know why Celtic fans are protesting against their board? Sure they're having a poor season by their standards but haven't they pretty much won everything domestically over the past decade? Is there something I'm missing?

To be fair to Theo he's only had a few months to get used to a completely new system. What we are doing at the moment seems quite complex and I don't blame him that he isn't entirely up to speed. I still think he makes good contributions.

I was responding to someone else who brought up the subject. Also dog whistle lol. I comment on every single game we play and amazingly you can post multiple different things every game and it doesn't just have to be specifically about how we have played! Also didn't your partner ban you from here?

Bet they do when the stadiums are full and there is more unrest. Even if the woke right-on types protest about it.

I knew they would.

I will be so so disappointed if we fail to win this game.

Have we had gardening? https://amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/nov/29/james-wong-other-arts-are-often-political-who-says-gardening-shouldnt-be-too#click=https://t.co/jkDIYY1DVm

Would finish the day 4th at worst if we win. Huge game.

I expect he's also on a reasonable wage we can afford. If we'd instead opted for an inconsistent youngster or a risky player that would no one had heard of then the chances of success imo would be small. He has played the part he was brought into play perfectly and what a player to have in the dressing room. I bet he's also contributed to our good start behind the scenes as well as he's clearly an intelligent book which is good as we need clever players for the football we play. Jwp, romeu, Walcott and I think Bertrand clearly have a fair amount between the ears which undoubtedly makes a difference. Not sure about the others but I'm sure that plays a part in our success.

His signing means we now have options off the bench that can change the game. Whether he starts or is beefing up the bench, he's a decent signing and I hope we make it permenent. Miles better than long for a start.

How dare britt assombalonga display his internalised racism so publically. Imagine suggesting that black lives matter is in some way linked with Black Lives Matter. Someone needs to have a quiet word and tell him that he needs to just keep his head down and take a knee. In all seriousness though, it's obvious that more clubs will start dropping it now or distancing themselves from black lives matter because they will be scared about the crowd reactions once everyone is back. The only reason they've got away with it for so long is because there have been empty stadiums so they can push their woke gestures unopposed and pretend that everyone supported it.

I saw that. Prime example of the narcissism of people like this. He wants to be this generations MLK ffs...

Hold on? How can Neil say that taking the knee is political? What a scandal the Boro players agreeing with the thick racists at Millwall.

We expected him to leave last January, for definite.

I think that some people view unequal outcomes as an example of some sort of structural racism rather than looking at the reality. I think British black people have been heavily influenced by American media and the Internet and have exported some very real American issues over here - hence the taking of the knee. I think a percentage of people believe what they are told to believe and don't look at something being the very surface level (that's true of both sides.) I think another percentage have had some examples of actual racism in their lives and want to do something about it. Personally I think this campaign has been more divisive than constructive and won't help prevent any future racist incidents.

Which bit? Not sure about the signing bit but the second bit is definitely true

Yes you do. By you I mean society of course. The alternative is that any demographic can retroactively decide they find something offensive and call someone a racist which is clearly insane.

Yep and the sad thing is that they will use that division that they invented to justify their continued existence. Insidious.

This is the type of game we will definitely lose. Time to see if its typical saints or not.

Severe allergic reaction. Both reactions were from people who carry epi pens. This form of the vaccine won't be going to that many anyway.

Or perhaps they were booing the taking of the knee which they viewed as supporting the organisation (as the supporters group pointed out) and didn't actually have an issue with something anti racist like kick it out? Is there any other recent examples of Millwall fans reacting negatively to an anti racist initiative that isn't linked to black lives matter? Because I know what I think is the most likely scenario.

Don't worry I agree with you that it's ridiculous, I'm just trying to see it from the other point of view. Clearly the bloke was miffed at being sent off so responded to the red card with a card of his own.
