Yep. Especially the ones which pointed out that the team was far more capable than what it was showing during that period.

I’m not pissing myself, no wet blankets here. I just don’t celebrate before we’ve crossed the finish line, and one of the best things about football is its unpredictability.

Some of us aren’t moral relativists. I’m not. Humans are humans.

Bigoted cunt is fine, tbf

There was nothing wrong with the statements in isolation - it is the context. He doesn’t tippex ‘I love Jesus’ on the armband for every single other game, just when he is asked to wear a rainbow armband. And his old man came out and stated that the LGBT community are ‘imposing’ their views on his son. Frankly, just don’t wear the armband if you feel like that. Or give up the captaincy. But it was dog whistle stuff ‘oh I’m not a homophobe - that’s your read’. Just like Elon Musk was throwing out love from his heart - it’s your sick mind if you see a Nazi salute. It’s worth bearing in mind that there are places in the world where the religious (Christians and Muslims) have imposed punishment for homosexuality; countries like, say, Nigeria, which still has the death penalty for homosexuality in some states …

You’ll need to point out where my confusion is - you suggested that Christianity is all about being anti-hatred; those of us who’ve actually read the Bible can find plenty in both the OT and NT to comfortably point out that this isn’t true. Religious folks are fully entitled to their faith - the issue is when it spills over into nasty shit like homophobia.

No probs xx

‘Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household’

Your reasoning isn’t close to being as smart as you think it is. ‘Ah, so you attack them, who is the bigot now?’. It’s flawed reasoning. People can say whatever they want about my views - I couldn’t give a shite. Ideas are challengeable - that can be done disrespectfully or respectfully. I prefer the respectful approach, but not when it isn’t offered in the first place. And the party offering the disrespect is the one who hides behind a 2,000 year old book to voice their prejudice.

We’ve still got Villa (a) Chelsea and Arsenal (a) to come. I’m not assuming anything until 5th is mathematically certain.

Yep, I happily would say it. They can hide behind it all they want - most seem perfectly happily not to live by all the requirements of Leviticus, but just can’t help banging on about what Leviticus says about homosexuality And beliefs are precisely that - they can be changed. Sexual orientation can’t be changed - you’re born with it. So you can’t choose to be gay, but you can choose to be a cunt

I mean, it might be a problem if the rest of the dressing aren’t bigoted cunts tbf. Could even cause a bit of disharmony.

His record is second to none, though I’d argue that Targett (permanent) is a blemish

He’s not frightened - he hates them for them being themselves. Well that’s all ok then - thanks for the explanation. (Of course, the term hasn’t been ‘hijacked’ and you’re talking complete and utter bollocks. Homosexuality isn’t a ‘lifestyle [choice]’, nor does prejudice against it reflect a ‘moral objection’. It’s good old fashioned bigotry).
