Fair play. 

 

But what's his stats this season?

 

I know he's been injured and I'm not arguing with you.

 

He's been poor since coming back?

 

 

1 goal in 6 this season, but I think a couple of those appearances were off the bench. Not great, but as I said, he needs decent service. Any creative players that they've had at the club in recent years have now left: Digne, James, Richarlison, Sigurdsson etc. 

 

Their defence and goalkeeper are OK on paper and they have an OK midfield. A different manager could make them more solid and hard to beat, but they they have no creativity whatsoever.

How on earth was that first Spurs goal allowed to stand?

And I'm sorry for posting that link again to a shit 'newspaper'

 

My point being, IF, and a big if, it turns out that people are outed, we don't even give them an ovation. 

 

We just go about it normally. 

 

Because being gay isn't abnormal. 

 

I hope every football teams crowd would do that.

 

They don't need a standing ovation, they just need the norm.

 

 

I get the sentiment but I'd back them and commend them for being brave enough to come out almost knowing its guaranteed they'll get some abuse. 

 

You're right. It isn't abnormal. But the bravery should be respected for being who they are. 

 

Hopefully one day it does become the norm and newspapers don't feel the need to sensationalise it.

I think it’s easy to say no one would care if it was a current star player like Maddison or Barnes or a long-standing hero like Vardy or Albrighton.

 

The issue would be if it was an underperforming or disliked player like Vestegaard or maybe Ward before his recent upturn.

 

I remember Neil Danns writing a song and our fans bizarrely using that as a stick to beat him with. I remember Burnley fans using Clark Carlisle’s Countdown performance to beat him with.

 

Sadly, I’m almost certain if there was an underperforming or out of their depth gay player in the side, you’d hear plenty of our fans using gay slurs and using his sexuality as a stick to beat him with over poor performances, saying his coming out was just to get attention, his sexuality is affecting his performances  etc.

Spurs, Harry Kane...

[Suzie the Fox]

Villa down 1-0 after less than a min. 

[weller54]

Brighton are such a good side!  I like the club and great to see them doing well.

[chuck'em]

That was a dive 

[StanSP]

Poor challenge by Dunk.

Not seen it but 5live think otherwise :

 

“Well Buendía puts a delightful ball through the middle and Dunk doesn't get the ball. The connection brings down McGinn. It's definitely a penalty.”

[Jaspa]

It's a dive. Going down before contact, falls onto him

He doesn't get the ball but Mcginn knocked it too far and was halfway to the floor before Dunk reached him 

[Arkie Bennett]

A penalty but McGinn pushed the ball away and exaggerated the contact.

One of those where the player knows contact is coming and starts to go down expecting it ?

Maybe. I think it always looks suspect when the attacker kicks the ball away with no intention to keep it under control before the contact is made.

COMING OUT 

Two Premier League teammates are in a relationship and open about being a gay couple

Reece James and fofanas matching little hearts in their     hair 🧐😆

Chilwell & Grealish ? 
 

Fofana & James is a good shout.

I'm more surprised that The Sun has held back in naming those involved. They're usually front page splash and all over it. Why the sudden coyness... They've not even hinted at the team...

A draw would be nice but I'm not concerned. A Fulham win would be great also. 6 points gap to 5th place. It's going to be very interesting after the WC. 

[StanSP]

Think that should be a penalty. Digne totally misses the ball.

[Dahnsouff]

Just don’t like Villa, more than other teams, not sure why. 
 

Suspect is their delusions of grandeur (laser brain)

 

— that’s a pen

[Dahnsouff]

HTF is that not a penalty?

[Apollo]

Jared Gillet in VAR debacle - shocker

 

bloke is one of the worst refs about 

[Benji]

Lolz.  What planet are these refs on.
