Tiresias

Draw feels fair

What the hell is going on

Just me or did szezny go with wrong hand there

What a ridiculous game this is

Yamal is ridiculous going to be best in world

Oh well can't win em all, wish we'd not be so much worse away from home mind

You absolutely don't get to 'like' me and think me being gay is 'wrong'. It's part of the package, and I find that view often expressed by people excusing their prejudices as religious objections, that they 'love' someone, not their 'sexuality' or anything and it's an insidious work around to pretend that 'loving and accepting others' is an easy thing that requires no effort or empathy on someones part, it just becomes merely to patronize. There is a fundamental dishonesty at work there just the same as those racists who have one non-white friend at work whom they will insist is "alright". If someone thinks my sexuality is immoral that's fine that's your imperative, but don't sit here and pretend your hatred of it is 'love' in disguise because if they did they'd have to have a hard look at their own value system to acknowledge you hate someone and if they've read the bible cover to cover and think that's the message it's sending fine, it's all open to interpretation, but don't put a smile on and think they can be friends with me while holding that view. People can bring up 'gay marriage' as an issue as if that's a policy thing, but again if there wasn't any hate where is all the campaigning against atheists getting married, or indeed people of other religions getting married? And lets spell out, if they don't want me to get gay married they are saying I don't deserve to have my long term partner by my hospital bed when i'm dying, don't deserve to have all those legal rights, my love is lesser than an atheist marrying a jewish person or something? Again really, everyone is absolutely entitled to hold whatever views, but I am also free to not want to smile and make nice with someone who thinks i am lesser no matter if it is couched in 'niceness'. I love going to football matches, I do not confirm to the stereotype of a gay person so I can be fairly unnoticed in that crowd. My partner is too, so I'm not concerned about attending games, but it still meant a lot when i walked into the ground and there was a rainbow flag waving in the gallogate. Seeing their players with rainbow armbands may seem like nothing but could be important to some frightened 14 year old growing up in a macho strict family. All to same, it matters. I also do agree that i don't know enough about Guehi's viewpoint. I will give any benefit of the doubt if he ever clarifies or anything, it's not me trying to get him removed from polite society, i do not resent him enjoying a good career, i dont think anyone signing him is acting immorally, it's just at present not in danger of being a player i love (edited to change general 'you to they as i accidently made it sound targeted which wasn't meant)

It's so weird when a player trains to the point that his crossing is much better, his shooting is much better, and his on field intelligence and runs are a lot better and this feels so wildly unusual, i mean if murphy can do it can every other 'middling' winger? In truth reflects marvelously on his attitude, and the fact that he has got better so steadily it was hard to notice. He went from pretty useless to being a reliable decent runner who didn't really contribute creatively enough to this. I wonder is the the trick is he did it so under the radar opposition scouts havent been reporting him as a threat back and so he never gets doubled up on? He also reminds me a bit of how Pep deployed Sterling when he was good, not so much in style of play but in terms of just making sure at all times there is threat from out wide to stretch defence and stop teams just defending super narrow and deep. Turns out if you have a player always willing to press, always willing to run at defence, always willing to be direct every minute of the game they pick up goals and assists

One of the things i love about us at the moment is how likeable we are as a squad. When I finally make it to a match next season with my boyfriend it would be nice if the squad was still as likeable but i have to admit would diminish that likeability somewhat if one of the team didn't want it publicly known that he thinks i am living in sin etc. Now I don't mean to go overboard with this, he is entitled to his views completely and I will give benefit of any doubt that he didn't mean to spread any hatred etc etc but he wants it to be known that he doesn't like me so I don't really think it's mad to be a bit ambivalent about him in return. Whatever happened to love thy neighbour and judge not lest thee be judged?

Bruno giving shirt to that kid in brazil top, good lad

Get the fuck in

Did Howe ring up from Hospital at half time and say "lads it's man u"?

It's not worth blowing our wage structure for someone whom while a genius is not going to be capable of howes pressing regime and will definitely be out injured for a fair period of season.

Sounds a bit of a mess hesitant to call anyone a bad guy here. Get clubs concern but also get Winks putting family first in that situation. Really feels like surely a better solution can be found

I'd take the xG version with a pinch of salt it tends to slightly inflate the dominance of teams that have the ball and press high and make teams like Forest look worse. Yes their position is inflated by Chris Wood clealry overpoerforming and that will impact it a bunch but no I don't think they have played like a lower midtable team and got lucky which is kinda what the xg implies. I think it's a slight flaw in xg that illustrates. I am not against xG, but I think this more illustrates it's limitations than Forest fluking every game. To clarify they are overperforming, but it's i guess the 'wildly' bit ought to bring a bit of skepticism to the stats
