From an aesthetic perspective, what always bugged me about Bolton was the whole media fawning. "Isn't JayJay Ococha great". Yeah. Ococha's great but what about the other 9 outfield players kicking lumps out of people and elbowing everyone in the head Oh, and the twats with fcuking huge fl...

He did alright at Kilmarnock last season and Doncaster are the only team being linked to can't be asking too much.

Nothing to be lost by taking a look and seeing where his head's at.

I think he'd be better served by playing out of his skin and earning a move.

Refusing to play would make him look like a massive pcunt.

Yeah, bit "Looks like we've uncovered another Liverpool fan" is a classic kes trope and anyone who's still uses "gay" as an insult is clearly stuck in some late 80's cultural timewarp where Morrissey's best days were only just behind him.

So because it's not as bad as it was, that's OK? Since when were we satisfied with judging ourselves against the lowest common denominator? So what level of racism or homophobia is acceptable if it's just a minor problem? What constitutes banter and when does it become abuse? I'd suggest it's the t...

You mean like a loan with Inter paying 0.1% of his wages?

They almost certainly can't, but as long as they don't blow their whole loss allowance now as well as fail to go up immediately, they'll be ok as long as they make it back in 3 seasons. Here's to them making an almighty pig's ear of it then. I thought the whole point of parachute money was to manag...

Fulham with some very good business so far. Signed Ivan Cavaleiro from Wolves, signed Mitrovic onto a long term deal and are now signing Knockaert from Brighton. Think they’ll be up there with signings like that Surprised they can afford it after the tens of millions they frittered away last year T...

Yeovil got relegated didn't they?

Forest Green have also gone for a black and green away kit to differentiate from their black and green home kit IIRC.

Old Man Andrews

BR0B0T cba reading any of this but to summarize

Vic hates the gays...roughly right or no?

If Vic hasn't seen or heard something then it hasn't happened is the moral of the story.

.....and it's just banter anyway so they should chill out a bit.

He was 22 had made 120something league apps and was certainly bought by his former manager to play as a striker. You need to bone up on the greatest ever premier league striker. In any case, one exceptional exception proves nothing. Midfielders in midfield. Attackers in attack. Defenders in defence...

I think it's a huge leap to extrapolate that because you have heard no homophobic abuse and do not consider it's issue that that is the case throughout football. I wonder if Brighton fans, for example, would share the same experience and I've certainly heard Reading fans sing "Does your boyfrie...

It’s not old hat at all. It should be but it most definitely is not. Gay footballers are afraid to come out because they are fearful they will be treated differently by their team mates and supporters. And they are probably dead right. Talkshite have had phone ins where some supporters have said th...

Talking about over the last 12-18 months, there's been all sorts of bollocks going on behind the scenes which contributed to their poor showing on the pitch last season. They've bought half a new first team this summer. Why's that, I wonder?

And he will be the first of, if not many, then certainly a good few more.

He was a big fan of Johnny Cochrane as well.

I wasn't being entirely serious. The foreogn players in that league seem to be had beens and never weres. Whilst Bale is past his peak, standard wise he could still do a fcuk it's lot better than China. Probably doing Chinese football a disservice, but I'm just imagining Bale playing there as being...

Three strong centre backs but will they all play? No, I can't see Gomes switching shape just because we have three good CBs. We didn't take Holmes on tour (injury?) and we've shown no sign of three at the back as anything other than late game tinkering. Three at the back was used for several away g...

Give him a chance. This is what he's capable of https://youtu.be/XinW21lAlYo In seriousness though, a lot of Stoke fans are saying he is still an excellent passet and second to none in dead ball situations. Not a signing to set the pulse racing but if he can still pick a pass there is method in the ...
