Kid Icarus

Some seem to think this is an indication that Saudi Golf will be the sponsors? Is it not more an indication that they won't be?

I think Christ (the poster) said it best about the people kicking up a fuss over it, including Caulkin, it's because for them it’s 'an ever present reminder of the reality of the situation when all they want is to pretend we’re not bankrolled by a Bond villain.'

Dead link

Not that I think this is good or owt, but at least you're honest and aren't trying to deny the obvious.

I love how this argument has dual uses. If our support is criticised by other clubs supporters it's 'well would you give up supporting your club? I can't do that, it's out of the question.' but when our own supporters say they don't like our link with KSA either, it's 'well stop supporting us/go and support someone else'

brain worms

A few posts up from mine. Likening it to our home kit being like Juventus's or Notts County's.

I get being fine with the connection and all that, whatever, who cares. But to tell yourself that there's no connection and that the colour scheme is just some sort of coincidence is wild like.

It would be a pretty shite argument tbf, but I agree that that would be their argument. I wonder if the gospels have much in there about the fixation on hand wringing over the morality and hypocrisy of the individual, while those in power get away with being infinitely more responsible and more immoral, having created a world where its nigh on impossible for the individual to not be some form of hypocrite.

I'd love to see you quote some examples of this. You wouldn't be making things up to make your point would you?

IIRC the UK has been Pagan, Roman Catholic, and Protestant, and as we all know, wars have been started over varying interpretations of exactly the same moral guide (the bible) and England (the crusades) and others commited genocide on a religious precedent, so I'm not sure your argument about a moral framework in a positive sense holds up tbh. I don't see anyone getting riled up tbh, mainly just people pre-empting others getting riled up with ready made arguments or pre-emptively reveling in it. There are far bigger problems with the club's ownership than a kit, I think it's shite (along with the entire connection with them) because it's another instance where some of our fans will lap it up (yes, that dreaded sportswashing), or reduce it to being meaningless, and because the people who don't like it will fixate on the aesthetic rather than the far more important stuff, but it's a waste of energy getting annoyed about that specifically. I agree about your point about other fans feigning how much they care about it, but that doesn't mean absolutely everyone else is.

Morality has always been each person's own.

And?

Holding banned, Gabriel looking possibly injured, and White having to come on while not fully fit. We have a decent chance on Monday like.

Think it's fair to say Holding's ruined this for neutrals as well. Arsenal were the brighter team at the start.

Christ, I'd rather have tinnitus than listen to that pretentious, condescending wally Darren Fletcher would be too much with his whole screaming thing as well. Anyone else would be sound though.

Aye he's absolutely done with getting excited over anything

Aye, nothing wrong with it

Was fully expecting a whistle there mind

That was after one of the other fouls he got away where he kicked Son in the ribs and back

Lush from kulesevski there, man he'd have been loved here until his first bad match.

If it wasn't two yellows (I still think it was) you could easily make the accumulation of fouls argument because he'd made another two daft, rash fouls.

Tomiyasu is really good like. Would have liked him here, but he seems a bit injury prone and not cheap ?
