Just checking in to see if the South Coast still belongs to AFCB? Normality has been resumed...

Is Tella the happiest footballer of all time?

Well, I've confronted several people on social media who have claimed they don't support BLM or kneeling because of their links to Marxism, but not one of them has been able to give me an example of what Marxist factors they truly dislike (in fact they couldn't name one Marxist theory). You'd think if they hated Marxism that much, they'd be able to at least provide some examples of the theory and the reasons why they dislike it... It doesn't take much looking into someone to know what their real reasons are.

That's always been my criticism of England, we seem to be too impulsive and the fact Joe Willock is now being touted ahead of Grealish shows that. He's had 6 good games in 4 years and is now being tipped for England

He's no finished, he's 28! 🙄

The Dundee Messi?

Very well balanced and educated post, and it's nice to see some sense being spoken on here. Perhaps I'm being cynical, but the whole "I don't support kneeling/Black Lives Matter because of its links to Marxism" is, in most cases I've witnessed, just an excuse for people as, for the first time that I can remember, an anti-racism movement has metaphorically looked people in the eye and challenged behaviours/attitudes and this makes people feel uncomfortable, but they aren't brave enough to state their real reasons. Interestingly enough, I suspect most people who use the "Marxist" excuse, couldn't identify 3 traits of Marxism. As you quite rightly say, it's started the conversation, and given oppressed people more of a voice to speak out against discrimination. As for the kneeing, I think this will stop after this season.

Imagine how tired people are of still being treated differently because of the colour of their skin

Don't think Stephens is out of contract next season? Been widely reported he signed a new deal but it was never formally announced

Happy with this. It was the most obvious transfer of the summer, but glad we got it done. I appreciate he isn't as good as he was, but still a good player and a decent mentor for Tella. Most importantly, he wants to be here, which is far better than the likes of Hoedt and Lemina who are probably on equal or higher wages and cost us a fortune to buy.

Going to need a striker most likely. With Kane set to leave Spurs, Ings ticks an awful lot of boxes for them...

That's utter bullshit if ever I've seen it. Now making stuff up about players to defend your bigottry. What a loser.

Sorry for trying to bring facts into this, forgot you can't apply logic to a situation.

Are we the only club to have been referred to by a geographic area by the S*n? #SouthCoastClub

Taking the knee is supported by No Room For Racism 👍

Taking of the knee is a sign of solidarity to protest against racial inequality. Not sure why you feel so offended by that? Its also not Marxist, but you keep telling yourself that it is as a comfort....

Refusing to take the knee and booing it are very, very different things.

I believe this is the longest goal scored in English top flight history

That seems to be the standard response for people who don't want to reveal their real reasons for opposing Black Lives Matter....

Very valid point, it was a terrific cross. Cedric would have stuck it half way up the Chapel end

God, you really are dull. Who cares what the commentator said, move on.

Really pleased for Tella, he's deserved that over the past few weeks and hopefully gives him the confidence to push on. That smile as well 😁

Would sub Minamino and Redmond for Tella and Djenepo/Ferry. Other than that, looking fairly solid. Salisu playing well

Really don't see the point in us continually playing Minamino over the likes of our own youngsters. Glad Salisu starting, would like to see Obafemi get some decent minutes

Stephens out of position in that picture. Standard. Not overly excited by this rumour if honest
