We should have absolutely listened and believed our Kenyan friend. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? As you say a massive loss. Love and light.

I'm not sure if he can now plead not guilty at the next one. The argument was that it was all rushed through with no opportunity for the defence to discuss mitigating factors. Would be interesting to know actually. It seems he pleaded guilty but it wasn't actually spelled out what parts of the video amounted to contempt and therefore what he was pleading guilty to. I expect if he subsequently pleads not guilty that his lawyers could argue that. "There was no clarity about what the appellant was admitting or on what basis he was being sentenced." Pretty shocking stuff!

Quite possibly. Hopefully it should act as a deterrent to people who could potentially put court cases at risk even if that wasn't their intention. I'm sure many people didn't even realise that filming in that manner could result in contempt of court. I am glad that it appears they are going to do the whole court case properly now but I am concerned that they rushed through the conviction in the first place when as the judgement says there was no need to after the video was taken down. I hope the original judge considers matters like this and makes the correct judgements if he ever has to try similar cases in the future- I saw he was in the window watching Tommy outside before he was arrested which seems pretty dodgy on its own.

So then Tommy Robinson has won his appeal after the judge accepted that the process for convicting him was fundamentally flawed. He's still guilty of contempt of court in my opinion and should be sentenced for that but this judgement does give some credence to those saying he was treated differently by the system because of who he is. I want to see all individuals treated equally before the law.

Rachid Ghezzal?

Jack schitt was quite obviously a troll. Anyone with even the slightest amount of common sense was fully aware of that at the time and he quite rightfully received ridicule and abuse for his attention seeking nonsense.

Stop being such a hypercrite.

This 100%. Only simpletons or those who like feeling an undeserved sense of moral superiority have trouble seeing the difference.

Indeed. Well said.

Agreed and it's incredibly obvious who the true itks are who are just sharing what they can. Very rarely do those types of posters get any abuse. It's also obvious who the bullsh*tters, liars and attention seekers are largely because they get so angry when they are even mildly questioned. I don't support any abuse or ridicule of genuine itks but over the years the likes of Jack schitt, Saint David, lifelong Saint and others deserve all the cr*p they received.

Oh dear soggy has been embarrassing himself again I see...

Out of that lot I'd rather have Clyne, fonte, puncheon, lallana, schneiderlin, Rodriguez and lambert. So maybe 4 or 5 players from the current squad would get in that team. Makes me sad looking at that.

Stop following me around the board soggy.

I'm always suspicious of these type of things. Is it an official one? Is there any confirmation of what's happening with the finance?

If we compare to previous seasons we are weaker all over the park apart from maybe gk. We best pray that our new attacking signings are up to scratch because our midfield seems to be one of the weakest since promotion. Does anyone have the lineup for our first game back in the top flight for comparison? I just hope we play some entertaining football.

Absolutely appaling attacking lineup there. Lower third of the table without a doubt.

We've had a few itk people over the years. The proper ones in general post with little fanfare and are roundly thankws for sharing. The bullsh*tters and attention seekers like Jack schitt for example are largely ignore, abused or made fun of because they are very obvious liars.

That one that was mates with lallana knew some stuff too but he was an a*sehole

Erm good for you. I'm sure we all do that from time to time. Invariably turns out to be wrong though...

Ohh get her. Heaven forbid that topics evolve. Just to update you, we haven't been linked with anyone of note.

Exactly. To call something positive "lucky" means you have to refer to everything negative that happened as "unlucky" which is nonsensical. You could just as easily say we were unlucky against Everton otherwise we would have stayed up comfortably.

I think if you did a poll of what position people would like to strengthen most it would be up front so I think it's clear that that's where we need to sort first of all.

Odd that you would think luck played any part in that at all. Hughes improved our points per game ratio and it was enough to keep us up. He did a good job and I'm glad he was appointed and he should now be given a chance to see what he can do. There's thus far been zero indication that we would actually do worse this season than the abysmal performances last year and the fact you think we will actually do worse can only really be based on your harsh opinion of Hughes rather than anything he has actually done whilst here.

I don't think luck had anything to do with it. He improved our performances to a point that we were able to survive relegation. He wasn't lucky, he was competent.

I think that's the consensus. Even if he's not good enough to be a starter, he's certainly good enough to be part of the squad.
