Sure, Ralph may have done better with better players, but my point was that if we had better players available to another manager after Ralph's sacking, then we'd probably had better managers wanting the gig. That recruitment failure is on the people hired by SR to buy players. Where SR can't be blamed is their willingness to put money in - they pumped shed loads in during that Jan window and for that (if not the choice of players) they deserve credit.

I get that, but had the player recruitment been better, but Ralph still failed, we may have been able to attract a better manager. Sure, Jones was a disaster, but player recruitment has been our biggest disaster imo.

Had their scouts done a better job with the cash they'd thrown at them would you take the same view? Their issue has been recruitment, but as owners they can't be expected to know a good player from a bad one. They've been let down by their employees decisions and judgement - that doesn't make them bad owners.

He's not. He's 6ft 2 (1.89m in new money), and solid enough. Similar height and build of Michael Carrick and Busquets, and they hardly got/get pushed around.

Yes, in the DM role, but O'Riley would be one of a midfield 3, and Carvalho would probably play wide. I'd be delighted with both of them.

What do you expect the PM to say to rioters, "crack on folks, we're fucked off too"? Jesus fucking wept.

Not everyday for months, no.

Amen to all of that.

That's nonsense. The starting point is the status quo, and that prevails until there's evidence to the contrary. She is and has been recognised as a woman. Thus, until it's proven that she isn't a woman, she's entitled to be treated and termed as such. The IOC have done exactly that. Whether she should compete with her natural advantage is a separate discussion. However, such advantage does not render her a man and entitle people like you to misgender her and refuse even to respect that she's entitled to be addressed as she - thoroughly disrespectful of you to be unwilling to do that. You have provided zero evidence. None. You've rejected invitation upon invitation to provide links to your evidence. Instead, you've mentioned that this lady has XY chromosomes. That much is already known. The presence of those chromosomes do not make her a man, and there's no evidence that she is a man - that's your belief/hope/opinion. And yep, it is vastly more complicated than you thinking that she's a bloke, so she must be. If science and testing reveals that on balance she's a man, then so be it, but until then the presumption is that she's what she's always been. That's indisputable. And as difficult as it is for this woman's opponents, the spotlight upon her must appalling, and things can't be helped by knowing that there's loads of keyboard warriors trying to re-asign her gender.

Push them towards the sea with water cannons would be a start. Feral people need feral treatment.

The idiots are at it in Rotherham today. Shouting "get them out" towards a hotel housing asylum seekers, throwing bottles and starting fires. They've gotta stamp down hard on this sharpish or it's going to get ridiculously out of control.

Questionable

FFS. You're as boring as you are bigoted. I don't need evidence for anything. She's born a woman. Recognised as a woman. Has competed as a woman. It's dinlo's like you trying to prove from behind a keyboard that a woman with female genitalia is a bloke who need to prove their argument. I'm still waiting for the links to your evidence that she's a man.

That doesn't help one bit, but it doesn't alter the fact that women born and recognised as women, albeit afflicted with swyer syndrome, are not men.

The chromosome thing has been known for ages. It seems to be the thing that bigots like Hypo hang on to while overlooking the very minor details of being born with female genitalia, registered at birth as female, being raised a female, and actually being a female.

Final request - links to EVIDENCE please. I repeat, what you believe and/or claim to have read is not evidence. You're a tryer Hypo, I'll give you that, but you've got a shit argument, and you can't prove it. Bless you.

Your inability to put up links to support your opinion tells it's own story. Your a bigot mate, pure and simple. I'm off out. I'll check back for links to evidence later.

Ha!! Of course you didn't. If you're as well versed on this topic as you claim (you're not, you just have a bigoted opinion) you'll have noted that if she wanted to trans to a man, she couldn't because of the laws in her country and her religion. You've gotta read actual facts Hypo, you'll learn stuff.

A) That's not an answer. What's an adult female human in your view? Tits/fanny? Innards? Hormones? Chromosomes? B) You haven't. You have an opinion. That's not evidence. If you believe there's evidence (other bigots views on X and Reddit ain't evidence btw) you'll be able to link to it. Alternatively, you could be honest and just say that there's no evidence...chop chop.

Links to evidence please Hypo? Your phobic based opinion that she's a bloke ain't evidence.

I don't think Alcaraz has as much to offer at the top level as people think. He's wasteful with the ball and just not quite at the level for me. I don't see a huge market for him and I suspect he'll see the season out t here, playing a bit here and there. KWP is great, but ask yourself where he'd go in the PL and play regularly. Beyond West Ham I don't see where. I think he'll go abroad. As for ABK, I'm not sure who'd give us money for him. If he goes, it'll surely be a loan.

Any chance of links to your evidence that she's a bloke please?
