Sir Ralph

Exactly no response cause it’s clear he can’t logically defend his position. My post is also not a speculative scenario.

Antrimsaint - great response to my challenging of your post - “laughing face” which I take to mean you have no response to my point which has blown your feeble logic out of the water.

So a person who is black or has dedicated their live to working with underprivileged parts of the black community who objects to kneeling is a racist? On the assumption you will say “yes” I know people who fall within this category. Please explain your logic in this context....

This post thread is evidence as to why kneeling should be dropped. It’s divisive because of its BLM links. Campaigns such as kick it out were previously supported by fans. Why did people not boo previous anti racism campaigns but boo this one - there is one key difference. It’s obvious

I go to football as I enjoy watching it, sing and support saints and forget about the weeks dramas. Singing anti racist songs and complaining to stewards about people booing is not what I go to football for. How about players/fans instead focusing on promoting charities and welfare for underprivileged kids of all backgrounds. That’s something I would support and would have tangible benefits.

Bobby robson - “What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.”

But if a player is under contract for a UEFA registered team they would need to wait for a contract to expire before moving. I imagine that uefa and fifa could put a ban on their clubs selling to super league clubs too, if they are no longer UEFA or fifa registered clubs. Obviously if a contract expires you couldn’t then stop a player from moving

You have to be registered with UEFA or fifa to move clubs. If you are you shouldn’t be able to move to a team not recognised or registered with them.

Wouldn’t be the worst thing. If the big 6 left the league would be much more competitive. They should: 1. Kick these teams out of their domestic leagues 2. prevent their players from participating in the Euros and World Cup - cue player revolt from many 3. prevent transfers from the teams outside the super league to the super league. Once their supply of good young players (Haaland, Mbappe, etc) runs out from across The World and the current crop of players in the Super League get older how good will it be then?

10 v 10 now bearing in mind we have Redmond

Salisu on second half to bag a treble

Redmond is utter tosh. He is a pointless winger just passes backwards, never takes anyone on, has no strength - get rid

Close the thread. Remember where we were before Ralph and the football we are now playing. Great manager - he should know the fans are behind him

Team obviously looks excellent at the moment. However, Armstrong still looks as though he isnt back to his form at the end of last season. Redmond and Walcott on the wings against Arsenal could be pretty tasty - regardless of his goal Redmond looked much sharper today.

With Middlesborough, the journo is so surprised that they have formed a different view, you can tell he is on verge of disbelief. How dare they have an independent view on this matter. Obviously Boro have players that can form their own views. Fair play to them.

The Premier League says that kneeling is not linked to BLM. However, Sky Sports has based kneeling on BLM and says it before every game and the logo is plastered all over the screen during the whole of lockdown. To then say it has nothing to do with BLM is ridiculous. The issue will cause more division and the frustration of the people that were previously supportive of anti-racism campaigns and probably cause some to become less tolerant, which is sad when this country is actually incredibly tolerant.

From front to back an immaculate tactical display. Out of interest where do people think we will end up in the league bearing in mind we are back on our phase 1 lockdown form again?

Ings scan - possibly the most important result of the season!

I'm assuming an amount - it could be a couple of million, relates to more the principle of a transfer strategy that they could be putting in place. Maybe wrong but it would make some sense

How about pocket a few million for Boufal (who would go for nothing next summer) and rid yourself of his wages. Then use what you would have paid Boufal (say £50k) for the final year to pay for a portion of Walcott's wages. Wait until next summer and use the £5m you would have lost to reinvest in a new player. That would make sense....
