    Happy League Champions Day

    Brilliant! Feels like we've been waiting forever. Would've only felt better had we managed to do it playing all the games but to see us as champions of any division feels bloody brilliant and we deserved it.

    All purpose cricket thread

    But if a player during a game displays symptoms he may have been sat in a dressing room with the rest of the team for days. Surely the game could not proceed again until everyone had been tested and confirmed negative?

    George Floyd

    It's nothing more than a genetic change to physical appearance that occurred from colonising new habitats when we left Africa. Same as people in colder regions tend to be shorter than those in hot ones to conserve heat. Having said that you would think black people would be from colder regions...

    George Floyd

    But if it'd been removed to a museum etc I think they wouldn't have a huge recourse for action, esp given public sentiment towards it. What were they going to do - sue the council and invoke the wrath of the entire city and open themselves to accusations of supporting racism? Be a stupid thing...

    George Floyd

    Don't think the Cecil Rhodes statue will suffer the same fate because it's not as accessible - it's high up a building rather than on a plinth. But I think they must be having serious thought to taking it down and replacing it.

    I didn't know that this promotion got us into Europe? ;)

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Although I agree with the proposal of Prince Andrew having to answer questions on Epstein, it shows again the double standards of the US that they've refused to send over a diplomats wife to face questioning over the death of Harry Dunn claiming diplomatic immunity but expect us to send Prince...

    U18/U21 Development Thread

    What's going on with the academy right now? Have decisions been made on player futures as it's been cancelled for some time. Does seem cruel that they wouldn't have got the opportunity to impress for the same amount of games but there has been 18 months of games and training for the second years...

    George Floyd

    Trouble with it is if they have people with a similar view watching/listening even if you wipe the floor with them they'll accuse you of being the one making stuff up to support your argument or revise it in their head that you lost. There are people who think Johnson is bettering Starmer at...

    George Floyd

    Magna Carta was 'breaking the law' as law at the time stated the monarch had absolute control and pleas from the barons were ignored by him and just drawing up said document was treasonable and punishable by death as it questioned his authority. Same with the Declaration of Independence...

    George Floyd

    Part of this issue people have been using the legal recourse for years to remove the statue. Just constantly ignored. This wasn't an off-the-cuff thing.

    George Floyd

    The peaceful protests had almost no effect - it became more prominent once they got more violent and broke the law. But what eventually won them the right to vote IMO was WWI and that they played a large role filling in the jobs the men had done before they were sent to fight. But without the...

    George Floyd

    As has been said who's going to say they'll get away with. It's videod so identify people where possible, arrest later. Going for it then would potentially cause bigger problems and there would undoubtedly be some bellends in the crowd waiting for them to do it to cause trouble. Weren't given...

    George Floyd

    You can if what they're saying is complete shite and untrue. Much of what Farage says is. And that is true of all sides. No platform unless evidence provided to back up what you're saying.

    George Floyd

    Maybe someone ought to inform him a lot of the poorest working class live in cities as well. Also no mention of the villages/countryside and their elite

    Memorial Park Gathering??

    WUM. 400k people dead with the best healthcare the world has to offer failing to cure them but yeah, aspirin and honey will do the trick. Why not do like an MP and prove it's nothing but going to a Covid ward and letting them all breathe directly in your face?

    Good job you can hear it's lovely as it attracts visitors who can't appreciate its visual qualities.....

    He also jumped on the "save Cummings" bandwagon so hardly a model of integrity.

    George Floyd

    No you can't, and neither should we, but that doesn't mean we should have statues (which imply a certain level of reverence and admiration for the individual) of people like this. If it's put in a museum as part of an exhibit of the slave trade fine but to remain in public in this day and age I...
