    Yeah I'm in a similar boat to Hudd RE Southgate.

    How can you be in charge of England during one of its best periods for attacking talent yet proceed to pick a defensive formation full of **** defensive players?!

    Muuaaadness.

    Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny has tested positive for Covid-19 while on international duty, the Egyptian Football Association has announced.

    Remind me why we have internationals all over the world in the middle of this pandemic

    Same reason we have league games when PL players keep testing positive, money and entertainment.

    Is it related to how Julia Halfwit-Brewer, Allison Pearson and Isabel Oakeshott all said this pandemic was over in August?

    I saw it mentioned on Twitter that Sonny could be coming home soon, as South Korea's second game may be cancelled

    The fact their game with Mexico went ahead on the basis that the Koreans still had 15 players who could fulfill the fixture was some serious bullshit, though

    They still have to play a very important friendly against Qatar ( IIRC) and then he flies home on a private plane supplied by THFC

    Scratch what I said about the Qatar game being shelved

    All because I said that Parasite is grossly overrated and goes off several cliffs in the third act, which fit in with a lot of Korean films as they seem to have a national inability to write a decent ending (Oldboy excepted)

    Slovenian ****wit
    Korean national inability

    Again, is this really appropriate or acceptable language?

    Apparently (and thankfully!) we’ve got a private jet waiting to pick him up straight after the game, the rest of the Korean team won’t be leaving until the following day.

    I could probably think of a lot better insults than ****wit to be honest.

    I’m not on about ****wit.

    Call me a snowflake but I don’t want to see derogatory national generalisations.

    This Spurs forum seems to let things slide which people should be called out on. Guess it’s just me who finds that sort of behaviour and language unacceptable though eh.

    I agree with your point, don't like it either. That's why I liked the post.

    Its unnecessary to use those words imo

    Replace the words Slovenian or Korean with black, white, Jewish or Muslim and everyone would be (rightly) outraged.

    I don't think it does, this is actually one of the most well modded boards on the forum and I think as Spurs fans we're lucky to have such a good board. You're probably just a bit more sensitive than others on certain issues, personally I don't find what HBIC said to be over the mark, a bit dark perhaps but then dark humour is right up my street, hence why I spend half my time here and half my time on the prem board.
