ManBearPig 1,853 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 It’s a brave move to do that and there will be friction, but Arteta is now seeing the fruits of his labour since taking over Arsenal in Dec 2019. Saka, Smith Rowe, Martinelli, White and now Nketiah look to be moving the club forward again. But it’s been a long time coming and they’re still not at a competitive level yet either. im not sure that the United fans have the patience for it 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This American chap is apparently worth £7bn so he worth more than the outgoing owner. If his intentions are sincere it could be a good thing for Sheff Utd. Albeit whilst they are in championship with us whether he worth £7bn or £7m. Gibbo will ensure they comply with FFP. Link to post Share on other sites

White Band 831 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 There is a part of me which can't help feeling that Barnsley are being relegated for being honest. I would like a world where honesty and integrity are valued more than money and success. It all feels so wrong at the moment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They're being relegated because they're not very good. There are two teams on points deductions and they're still bottom of the table. They only stayed up two seasons ago because Wigan entered administration out of nowhere because of a dodgy new owner. Link to post Share on other sites

Sudden image of bunch of fans singing "We are the Nancy Boys" ... then again Fulham are happy to be known as the Cottagers, sometimes it is the smallest things that brighten the day. I know it is probably politically incorrect but I am daft so you'll just have to put up with it... UTB 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites

Old Codger 3,063 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 not homophobic.. or heterophobic or any phobic... I just try to find lightness in most situations and if I upset people it is not intentional and I apologise if that is the case here.. feel very free to delete any of my posts and I won't argue. life is too short to let poor jokes ruin your day so again, sorry and let's just say I will have to do better in future Link to post Share on other sites

Good bit of offence hunting there. MBP. Should we poke fun at gay people? Yes. Straight people? Yes. Old people, young people, white people, black people and all people in between. We should joke about religion, atheism, science the weather, cats dogs those fricken pandas 🐼 and everything else that occupies this world and beyond. Now what is important is know your audience (massively difficult on the World Wide Web) and understand tone and intent. I didn’t see any malice beyond a poke in the ribs. But if you really were upset About his post I’m happy to discuss through PM and we can move on further Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,853 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 What is offence hunting? He’s literally said a homophobic reference of ‘Nancy boy’ to which I’m referring to? It is defined on Google as an offensive term for effeminate men / gay people. Im not gay but believe it’s right to challenge that just in case someone else is offended by it. The problem is one person sees it as a ‘poke in the ribs’ but someone else might not. Link to post Share on other sites

Should we cancel Placebo for having a song called Nancy Boy, sung by a man known for having an effeminate appearance? Link to post Share on other sites
