Sheaf Saint

It's not fact. And your repeated doubling down in this only makes you look foolish. Typically, people with XY chromosomes will be male, but in some rare cases (such as Swyer syndrome), this is not true. Khalif was registered as female when she was born, due to the outward presence of female organs, and was raised as a girl. As a result, she identifies as female. Therefore, your continued insistence that she is male and referring to her as 'they' is monumentally twattish. As to whether or not she should be competing in female sports is another debate, but it is far from being as black and white as you make out.

This tells me all I need to know. Thanks.

You keep repeating this claim that Khalif is 'biologically male', but she* isn't. She is intersex, which means that strictly speaking she is neither male nor female. I recommend you watch this TED talk to better appreciate the medical struggles faced by intersex people (who make up 1.6% of the global population). * - you keep referring to her as 'they', but that is not her preferred pronouns. I don't know if this is born out of genuine ignorance or if you are being deliberately obtuse, but either way it is disrespectful.

Brandon Thomas-Asante, whose name was mentioned as a rumour on here recently, has been sent to Coventry.

As it stands, the Everton squad needs major improvements to be competitive this season. They've already sold Onana and Branthwaite will go. They will probably cash in on DCL this window as well, although he's a shadow of the player he once was. If they have to rely on the likes of Keane, Holgate and Coleman in defence for any sustained period then they're screwed. With massive financial problems, a collapsed takeover deal, and more FFP penalties hanging over them, it will be interesting to see if they can/do make the signings they will need.

Very brave. Could have taken them both out.

I had a mate from Hedge End who was a Man U fan because his dad (who also wasn't from Manchester) was a lifelong fan. All well and good, but I would often ask him who he would be supporting if his dad was a fan of Port Vale or Grimsby Town. He obviously had no answer.

A few on here have been touting his name for a few years. I hope he turns out to be better than the last one of those that we actually ended up signing - Duje Caleta-Car.

They remind me of Sunderland in the years before they finally went down. Like a turd that won't flush.

Watching the way he fell, he was in no state to threaten anyone. He was face down on the floor, conscious or not. And it's not whataboutery at all. If the copper had used reasonable force, and by some freak set of circumstances the guy died, then sure. But stamping on someone's head is not, and never will be considered reasonable force. You only do that if you are in a state of rage and intent on seriously injuring the recipient. Whatever the full circumstances that led to this incident were (which I'm sure we'll find out in due course), the kick and stamp from the copper was entirely unnecessary. I get that he had just been attacked, but he was clearly out of control and not acting rationally. I don't see how he can keep his job when he's proven that he can't be trusted to keep his cool under pressure. So I can't accept that the guy "got what he deserved". Once he's been tried and convicted of assaulting an officer / ABH or whatever, and sentenced accordingly, then he will have.

They did neutralise the threat. He got tased and was lying unconscious face down on the floor. At this point, he was no threat to anyone and the decision on what to do next should have been a very easy one for that copper - put some handcuffs on him and that's that. Stamping on the guy's head could have killed him. Would you still be saying he "got what he deserved" if he had died?

So they lost 2-1 to Salford yesterday. No Branthwaite again. And DCL with a miss that would make even Che feel embarrassed. The gallows humour on GOT is truly something to behold. There's a pretty unanimous opinion that they're going to go down this year.

He did well to control that and shoot. Who played him in? Couldn't see.

What? You mean Celine Dion doesn't represent the zeitgeist?

Yep. And the rain actually accentuates that.

New 3rd kit options?

Looks like @Turkish is going to have to up his game to reclaim the record of 'most laughing emojis on a single post'.

I'm afraid I don't know what you Nene.

Eau I hope they dont. I'd Rother they sat Idley by and let it run it's course before swinging the Exe.

To make it simple for you: Trans people happily refer to themselves as trans, when it is used as an adjective. However, you will never find a single one that refers to themselves as "a trans", using the word as a noun. I'm not one of the 'pile-on' posters, and I have called them out for it in the past when it has been excessive. So my criticism is not simply an ad hominem attack, it is justified because you've used inappropriate language and refused to acknowledge or retract it when that has been pointed out to you.

Don't worry. We're only Teesing. I expect we'll grow Wear-y of it sooner or Leater.

And yet, if you had just omitted the 'a' in your original post, none of this would have even been an issue. Can you not see the difference between referring to someone as "trans" and referring to them as "a trans"? It might seem trivial to you, but using correct language is really important if you don't want to be seen as ignorant or dismissive. You might try and pass this off as another case of being 'careless', but that just seems to happen way too often with you doesn't it.

Or at least Rase the standard of them. Bad puns are the Bain of my life, and not Eden funny.

No, no, no, no, no. From what I've heard from the inside at Everton, he's completely done as a professional footballer. Would be an even worse signing than Carillo, even on a free.

Wensum people start making puns, he just can't help but join in Witham.
