If people are upset about the name of the Blackboys Park then I think it's fine and right to consider changing the name. Why would anyone fight to keep it when the name basically came about because the plants that grow there apparently show a resemblance to black people. I'm all for preserving history but there's nothing here to protect.
Most of the rest of the stuff posted here I have little sympathy for though. I haven't been convinced by any 'cultural appropriation' argument. It mostly seems to want to see prejudice where there isn't any. Adele having an African style hairdo for Notting Hill carnival is wrong. Beyonce dying her hair blond is fine. All of that stuff can go in the bin.

Not sure Pogba being out is actually a good thing for us, he's exactly the type of player that would struggle against our team, having to track runs, constantly getting pressed and having Ward-Prowse in his ear all game. Pogba is a bit of a passenger when they don't have the ball, fails to track runners, makes clumsy tackles etc.
Couldn't agree more. I don't watch much Man U but when I do Pogba looks like a weak link. I'm not particularly confident about Sunday but was looking forward to watching him not coping with the pressure. Last time I saw him live was the 2-2 at home. He was poor that day and it was Lemina making things very hard for him. Lemina was better that day.

Three days of National mourning! I wonder what we'd get for Gazza...

He controlled the ball with his arm then.
What I thought, and gained an advantage.
McCarthy doing wonders again...

Just looking at the Pepe/Alioski incident again. Obviously Pepe lost his head and the red is justified. Should Alioski also get a yellow for "attempts to deceive the referee by feigning injury"? Surely no reasonable viewer would believe that dropping, clutching his face was a genuine reaction? Obviously done cynically to get the game stopped so VAR can have a look.

You do see some sights. I often encounter the tall bloke who always wears a MAGA hat. I'm beginning to think he may have autism, which might explain it.

If anyone witnessed a madman at the tills in Bursledon Tesco just now, frantically stamping on an empty shopping bag, it was me. There was a spider in it.

That closed fist thing that UK politicians seem to be doing when gesticulating these days. Boris does it all the time. What's wrong with a pointy finger?

Bit disappointed with Ings. Is it too much to ask for him to knuckle down and give us another season after we resurrected his career?

Why didi he ever leave saints in the first place. More money I suppose. i bet he could not believe his luck to get a loan move with us, let alone to come straight into the team
And we even had a song for him!

I wouldn't mind distributing it based on an algorithm based on risk, obviously that would take in more parameters than BAME alone though, such as age, weight, medical history, whatever. Probably better and less complicated to concentrate on "everyone in the fastest time possible" than trying to divide people.

Ha, what is he even doing now. Maybe worth a punt if he isn't crocked. See what Ralph can do with him on the cheap...

Good news. Seems to have an excellent attitude. And another one who seems to improve under Ralph.

At least the things on our crest mean something locally. Palace have an eagle on their crest because, as far as I can work out, some manager of theirs in the 70's liked eagles.

“Quiet for now, but it’s always difficult coming as a new player, so maybe he’s just saving up his words for later!"
Remember reading something previously, after signing for a club earlier in his career that he appeared painfully shy and struggled to get on initially.
Maybe just needs some time.

Even so, 1-0 up!
I'm not watching though as I'm too tight to pay a tenner.

Whole fcking sports bulletin on bbc this morning was about this. So boring and the earnest sanctimonious bs spouted and didn’t talk about one other story.
Didn’t even show Rahm’s mental golf shot at Augusta. Never seen anything like it
if anyone’s interested a recent Sam Harris podcast about Trump’s popularity is interesting.
That was something else, and I don't even like golf. I even showed the missus, and she doesn't like golf either.

Probably should have advised he apologise for publicly using dated, potentially offensive language. If he apologised, and learned, he should not have been asked to resign.

Couple of years ago my missus bought an old PS1 and a Formula 1 97 disc to go in it, because I mentioned it was the most enjoyable game I'd ever played.
