Unlucky Che. I'm desperate for him to score.

My word ings is a bit special.

Need to change something here or we will concede.

I just said that to my mate. Laughable to even consider it but I suppose there weren't many other highlights.

That's our best first half in a while. If we perform crap in this second half I'll be so annoyed.

No one would be surprised. Late Watford equaliser for sure.

You're right I can't remember our last really good 90 minutes. It doesn't happen often. Lots to do second half.

Agreed. Norwich owed more to them being awful and this performance has been much better. Hope we can keep it up in the second half.

Watford look rubbish. We look great!

Did they? Most people I saw were worried about his injury record but no one doubted his class. That wasn't me by the way, I always wanted him.

All about opinions. I thought it looked shit.

Poor game so far.

Because people have different opinions and because it's good for highlighting those who can't tolerate them. You for example.

I think he's looked a bit better than carillo for me which admittedly isn't hard. I'd give Che a run of two to three games just to see if he can get a goal or an assist and a bit of confidence. You never know.

Thata not bad. Think we will miss Armstrong who has been great this season.

You said "it's not terror related so it's of no interest to the usual suspects." surely it's pretty likely to be of less interest to a group of people participating in a thread specifically about terrorist attacks? I would have thought that was stating the obvious.

I agree with you that many/most will be unaware of the deeper meaning to a lot of this which if anything makes it worse. It's not about agreeing with "every policy" though but these are a couple of fundamental planks of their reason for existing as stated on their website, in their fundraising and across social media. It does seem that some people are attempting to exploit the goodwill and the obvious agreement of the vast vast majority for something that shouldn't have to be stated like black lives mattering in order to push their own particular brand of far left politics. That worry is only confirmed with things tweeted by the black lives matter UK twitter page and all the rest of it. It's a bit difficult to say that black lives matter is only about black lives mattering and nothing else when all of the available evidence suggests otherwise. I certainly don't want the black lives matter organisation to appear to have the illusion of more weight behind their views than the reality when figureheads purporting to represent them point to the numbers supporting them and then call for far left policies or things such as abolishing capitalism or condemning Israel. People are attempting to utilise that ambiguity for their own ends and its why its dodgy ground for people like the Premier league to be so puploc in their support but opposition would have been met with such a level of criticism that it isn't worth it.

OK then so let's imagine a hypothetical scenario here. Let's suppose that Japan had a large group of Caucasian Western Europeans in their country for some reason and they'd lived there for a number of generations. Let's say that those Western Europeans were killing or being violent towards each other and the Japanese at an alarmingly high rate. In your mind, it wouldn't be possible to look into this issue to see if there are reasons for this phenomenon because that would be racism, even if by looking into it we could make specific plans tailored to best meet the problems within the Caucasian Western European community living in Japan. Even if the violence from these Europeans was causing a spike in violence nationally, rather than looking for causes we would have to treat all violence exactly the same way? Even allowing for the ridiculous hypothetical can you see how nuts that sounds? Also "we should treat everyone equally" by specifically singling out black identity and uplifting their voices in particular? Or taking time to support a business owned by someone with black skin? Or having a quota system so that you have a minimum number of black people employed at your business? I've been calling for individuals not be grouped into boxes based on their racial identities since the start of this thing and it seems like you agree.

You mean people had any doubts that they were the exact same people before this?

Why are all these posters telling us definitively what black lives matter is all about when what appear to be official mouthpieces for black lives matter are all over the radio and accross social media saying something different?

Homeless white male lives matter? Fat (overactive thyroid) white male lives matter? A mate of mine has been in a mental health facility for four years due to a psychotic breakdown and he's white. Is "white males with significant and debilitating longterm mental health problems lives matter" offensive?

Sounds perfect for us to be honest. Hope it happens.

"White trans lives matter." is that offensive?

Sounds like that could suit both parties.

You've chosen to be obtuse and engage in pedantry then. Everyone else knows what he meant. To deliberately exagerrate things to make the point clearer: if a thief broke into your house and said give me your watch or I'm going to burn your house down, technically you had a choice there and technically no one forced you to give him your watch but the dire consequences of choosing not to effectively gave you no option.
