In their favour in terms of tickets going to their fans not ours, no team needs any more favours on the pitch we give them enough already |

Absolute piss take how late they've left this announcement, train prices are already looking expensive and if it goes to a monday night it's going to need time off work.
The cynic in me does also wonder if it's in Everton's favour for it to be delayed as it might mean we take a lower allocation |

To be honest with you i find the whole trans thing the most ridiculous argument i've seen in a while.
It literally makes no difference to anyone, is none of most people's business, and is just another culture war thing designed to divide us. |

You're right Tim with a history of incidents like that then perhaps a points deduction isn't right.
I think the only solution is to fold the club and turn Fratton into a Tesco |

People tend to conflate two things in my opinion.
Free speech is the ability to say something you believe in so long as it doesn't cause harm to others.
For example i can say i think all skates are scabs who lie through their teeth and sleep with their family members.
Consequences are the result of what i've said, whether that's i don't get a job, i get kicked off a platform or i get a fist in my face.
The first one is only hampered by governments, for example if a government would throw me in jail or send me to an overseas prison without trial.
The second is just everyday life, and the responsibility to not face the consequences are on me. |

Free speech is the ability to say what you want without fear of retribution for saying it.
In most countries around the world it is caveated with the fairly sensible caveats that this must have boundaries, those boundaries being that that speech is free up to the point that it causes harm, or speaks untruths that cause harm to others.
The Trump regime's version of free speech, and the american right's idea of free speech, is not even close to being that, it's the idea that they should be able to say what THEY like without retribution, but should be able to control what others say based on their own guard rails.
The current debate in regards the states has much basis in "free speech" as the democratic republic of north korea does in democracy.
As for your question on incitement to violence etc. well most of the world guard against that already, and the philosopher Karl Popper covers it pretty well in his idea "the paradox of tolerance" which is "a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.".
Anyway the whole thing is ridiculous anyway, because there is no world in which Trump's regime have even the slightest concern of the protection of "free speech". |

Oh yeah absolutely no judgement on my part for people who do go (well unless you're a pr*ck who uses it to take selfies for social media).
It's just my own personal ethics that make me uneasy with it, probably because i cannot get my head around how humans could've caused such horrendous suffering on others for the sole fact they were different to them. |

I've always been in two minds about visiting Auschwitz or Belsen.
On the one hand it's a part of history we can never forget for fear of repeating it, and the lessons it can teach us are hugely important (today more so than ever).
But on the other hand there's something that feels slightly wrong about tourism taking place there, to have it as a venue on a holiday to tick off like the taj mahal or the eiffel tower feels to me to lessen it's significance (not saying anyone here did that by the way). |

Decided to go to a northern soul night instead, the combination of the god awful football and utter horror of the freaks in the Northam Wall has really put me off going to home games.
Roll on next season when we've moved out of the sh*tshow that is the northam |

I really hope those people who want to vote reform are watching closely what happens when you vote in a leader based on a single policy like immigration.
There's a fag paper between Reform and Trump and they'd destroy this country exactly the same as Trump is doing to the US |

I might sound completely deluded given where we are but i still honestly believe that this squad wasn't anywhere near as bad as the table suggests it is.
At the very least having seen Leicester we're on a par with them, and not far off Ipswich.
We were just so staggeringly badly managed at the start of the season that it completely destroyed any hope we had.
Couple that with Martin's refusal to get the team fit and it's made us significantly worse than we should've been.
I've never actually thought we could stay up, but my opinion has always been we should be able to compete at least, and i still blame Sport Republic for not sacking Martin the day after the play off final win |

I'll be renewing because i always do, next season will be my 42nd consecutive season of going which shows just how much i must f*cking hate myself.
Saying that i'd rather have a bath in napalm than spend another season in the Northam Wall, so i'll be renewing somewhere else instead [Post edited 8 Apr 17:02]

Reply | 5 Things About Tottenham
at 16:52 7 Apr 2025
1. The Ferry Boat Inn is the best pre-match pub for spurs away, by Tottenham Hale so good for the train to Northumberland Park, on the river lea so great beer garden and virtually no football fans
2. Leaving to get the train ten minutes before kick off was a mistake even for people who never make kick off like us (we got there 20mins late)
3. That's the worst Spurs side i can remember in my lifetime (and they still looked comfortably better than us)
4. The day felt more like a pre-season friendly the a competitive game, both on and off the pitch
5. Anyone singing that championship ole in the concourse nonsense should get a minimum 10 year banning order from Saints |

At the point people started singing the que sera thing we walked out. The lack of pride both our players and fans have at the moment winds me up something chronic, I saw Clive at half time and he was watching the folk singing the ole song and he put it perfectly “there’s no fight, no anger and no pride” |

Not sure i'd be clapping that given that most people's pensions will currently be tanking as a result of the orange idiot not understanding economics.
Still i'm sure it's worth the global recession, handing international power to China, destabilising the world, pushing people into poverty and defunding scientific research into medicines like cancer cures as he's stuck it to the WOKE penguins... |
