    The THFC Women's Team Thread

    With all due respect to those who consider the womens team to be synonymous I suspect I'm not alone in preferring that people make clear when they are posting about the woman's team (like with the youth team thread) so people can choose to only click on threads interest them/or relate the...

    Match Threads Chelsea Vs Spurs

    Should also be noted that James jumped into the crowd after scoring which should be an auto yellow. Also while Romero was lucky to not have gotten booked (pulling hair isn't categorized as violent conduct rather unsporting), the idea that a foul in some earlier phase of play (which var passed on...

    With the tax system in Italy for foreign players I believe 120k here is equivalent to about 80k/week there, net. Won't stop Tanguys 'people' trying to be more extractive beyond this on the way out while still claiming, for the pr, to be taking a paycut for the the sake of his career. He...

    Player Watch: Emerson Royal

    I was disappointed by his technical game, and am skeptical about his ever being an explosive wingback...But he's young, has the Brazilian rb position, and has all the physical qualities we'd want in the position. If upon settling into the language, culture and new positional role he shows a...

    Player Watch - Djed Spence - Genoa

    I know Livramento has an ACL, and wont be fit until after the world cup but players typically recover from these fully nowadays and at Spences 20m+ price it wouldn't cost much more for a far superior technician.

    The Final Day - Transfer Discussion Thread

    Conte historically has a very high fitness/non-injured rate for his players based on his physical regime, and at present we're at full strength of 22 squad players with a relatively light schedule in just two comps... I don't think it's 'very' risky ... or even risky...though of course there is...

    Likewise! Was even broadly imputed as racist for describing him and his attitude as ghetto (by which I intended no racial connotations only to observe the persona archetype isolated, loner, victim/ 'nonchalant joker' - rather than go-getter ready to take on the world psychology) all things which...

    The Y Word

    As an orthodox rabbi, my feelings are the same... Curiously it's been my long found experience that self-hating 'yidified' jews have the biggest issue with the word

    Summer Transfers

    Agree that it's hard to predict targets without knowing what competition we're in or who is managing us, but this would be my selection assuming we're in the Champions league so have a modest 50m budget and can keep Kane...I'd like Hansi Flick and Ragnick as dof which would balance freshness of...

    Which still doesn’t make ME racist or racially insensitive- I believe based on the preponderance of evidence I’ve seen that this stereotype in this case is accurate...might be wrong in my conclusion but it being a stereotype doesn’t make it illegitimate discourse. Generalities must often be...

    Nice post. I disagree fundamentally with the premise but it’s was well argued at least. I think that dressing outside of the crowd in the workplace is detrimental to integrating with it, its a simple and self evident point and I think it stands to scrutiny in the cases of Ronaldo and Messi v the...

    I did, others better than me have too... Excluding yourself from group norms is...as was buddy buddying with a known adversary like Pogba right after he’s likely cheated us out of our season I’m also concerned about his tone deafness and the noises from the reliable French press

    I did and as I’ve since seen I’m far from alone in my association (about him and ‘plenty of other footballers) and whatever people want to say it doesn’t make us or our conclusions racist or racially insensitive... See it or not like it or not it IS a statement to dress differently from...

    I quoted public facts about his dress and demeanor and I’m an intolerant ignorant bigot by your description... I think your post and educational philosophy you’re imparting to your children is misguided, color blind and simply wrong mindey evangelical- I wish you luck in educating them for...

    I don’t recall the source except that I read it in the last 24 hours on either here ftl or tfk and I recalled the poster as someone who’s posted accurate inside information - It will survey be referenced by someone else with a better memory than mine.

    Go on...I’ll bite, why is it abhorrent!? It seems to me a statement of the plain and obvious- If your whole objection is the word ghetto (which I hesitated to use admittedly) please spare me the time of your response but if you have a constructive criticism beyond that I’ll engage
