Love Chris Holt like

The fact that her constituents are being hoodwinked to the tune of well over half a pony every year and turning a community hub into an advert for an ethical vacuum is neither here nor there because business is business.

The loyalty points stuff is a gun to the head by the club. Yep. I get it if we were trying to be good but even the name itself implies if you don’t top up each year you’re somehow not loyal

Aye. The likes of him and Uber keep the bent employment figures where they are.

Fuck it I hope we go down this season like - we’ll just circle the bowl I. The same way we accused the Maclean’s of doing. It’s just prolonging the drop

Not when you consider what that negligence designed to benefit - its very competent

And I still want to bring my dog around every morning for a shite on the lawn. ...dog dirt

Beruffed shirley?

I disagree. I hear he’s comes with a lot of pedigree, chum. Just the type of signing if we want to Winalot.

He called protesting fans negative - world of difference. I know you don't really agree with any of it but like Lascelles being dopey enough to put himself in the firing line, fans criticising the players overly harshly shouldn't expect not to get a rise out of people in much the same way.

Only the ones acting like cunts

Exactly the same thing you tell him if he wants to spend his pocket money on being whipped by whores. That’s probably far enough, now. Boycoutters are saying to parents “No, find something else to do with your child.” Erm, could you not lose yourself in your rage (justified though it might be) so much that you tell people how to raise their children? (I know your comment was hyperbolic nonsense, but there has been plenty that has no levity at all) This. I support a boycott as much as anyone...every game in fact - such is neeeded. But it’ll have a cost and it’s a big ask.

First I’ve heard of this Iranian left back but please tell me its the bloke who tried that throw in at the World Cup Anything to loosen the Persia strings He’s terahn up trees apparently

All your touching base are belong to us

The chronicle can fuck off with their latest podcast -‘ the positives of Mike Ashley being back’ Cunt never went man

Fine if you want to take your kid to the match, but don't fucking complain when others who have taken a harder stance criticize you for helping to fund Ashley after almost 12 years of complete trolling and mismanagement to fans. It's like the chants against Ashley on Saturday man, it's complete hypocrisy to the max. I'm not complaining. I'm trying to make you see possible reasons why people still go. If you, and others on here (you know who you are), don't appreciate the reasons and learn to accept them, then you'll never formulate an effective strategy for getting Ashley out. Because boycotts / walk ins etc are just never going to land with the vast majority of the fanbase. As I've previously said on here, get at Sports Direct. That's all he cares about. Don't think thats true. People just seem to have an incredibly high tolerance of being shat on by something they love. Doesnt mean that there isn't a limit though. Maybe... maybe things will change when Rafa goes, but if you're wanting to get as many people on board right now with forms of protest, affecting the matchday experience isn't going to be got behind, in my opinion. Sadly it's the only thing that will cause change and that's why it needs to be pushed. There's no concrete value in getting people behind some group or movement if those people arent willing to make the personal sacrifice to push him out. You think that's the only thing that'll work? Despite clear evidence that the big push on social media against Sports Direct and his brands was getting a reaction out of him? Had on a second here, didn't you say before that the Spurs boycott and protest had no effect on Ashley going on Sky and then allowing the club to spend £80m? But now there's clear evidence that the social media campaigns have worked? I think there's clear evidence that they were working and that he was reacting to them, yes. Because it was happening over a prolonged period of time. Sports Direct had to stop tweeting for 2 weeks for christ sake. That kind of thing is major to a business like his. The Spurs boycott was a one-off of people not showing up who had already paid, so yes, I don't necessarily think that had any correlation whatsoever with him happening to spend a bit of money several months later. That second boggles my mind given he came out on TV directly after it. Then that followed. I’m not saying it 100% did but it was bad far the most effective protest done and then that happens. Yet you can dismiss it entirely. Agree with first part although the only true way anything will work is if you take up so much bandwidth that it’s more hassle than it’s worth and that means considering matches as one of them. ? Well not directly - poor wording but April into May. Bit harsh mind if SP wants to take his lad.

They’ve now chosen to largely ignore the SM stuff because the stuff posted looks like a bunch of mentals posting memes

Got rid of my Sky because it’s largely shit tbh

I don’t have kids and have a 400 mile round trip for a home game so my decision is made simpler. Still hate it and rather be doing it alongside my niece and nephew though. And whether he gets more money from TV or not, we still don’t have to top him up and he won’t be ever be laughing at me. Every fan that boycotts him and attacks his interests and remains vocal becomes a threat. But people have their reasons and I know people go with good intentions - not the currency the club deals in unfortunately.

I mean you can't dictate to people how they raise their kids - but the money goes to Mike Ashley regardless. That's the trade off people have to judge.

Aye but that’s not the pull is it? It’s the former title winners wanting to actually be a project that may appeal.

I don’t think anyone is claiming to be a better fan. At least I’m not. The finest endorsement you can give someone though is paying them for their ‘efforts’.

Not that again...

Dafuq?!
