    I just saw it on Twitter and then saw nobody had posted it on the Spurs board yet.

    Every week there seems to be a footballer doing something stupid

    A shame Watford don’t really have any dirty/ edgy players for when they face West Ham tomorrow.

    Will happily see Romero or Dier cop a red if they fancy two footing both his kneecaps when we next face them.

    Find cruelty to animals really disturbing... if you can do that to an animal it don't seem that much of a stretch to being able to be cruel to humans.

    AFAIK, in psychology there has been a body of study
    whereby prior animal abuse is a significant trait of those
    people who later in life go on to do nastiness (mass
    murder, "serial" killing etc) .

    On cats in particular ...

    1. I have a nigh 40 year old two inch scar down a finger
    from when my cat had enough of my WUMmery
    (so Zoumas' gonads beware :) ) .

    Do they not teach kids the tale of Russian Hotspur ?? :D

    Loads of serial killers start out on animals.
    Bundy, Dahmer, Gacy, Fred West, Ridgeway, Rader... it's pretty much all of them.
    It's also believed that witnessing such acts as a child can severely damage empathy.

    Dahmer is the only very notorious case I was aware of.
    Other such cases, I was not.


    ""It's also believed that witnessing such acts as a child can severely damage empathy.""

    Once you begin seeing a living thing as just a glob of
    red and pink goo, rather than something that suffers
    pain from injury as you do, the damage is done.

    The Met have decided not to charge Zouma because they've got really good evidence. Or something.
    I assume he donates to the Tories.

    Turns out that the person filming it was his brother, Yoan.
    He's also a centre-half and is on the books of Dagenham & Redbridge.
    They've issued a statement:
    https://www.daggers.co.uk/news/-MvOYAIITdkMpCrye244

    "I am now taking time to reflect on what I have done but wish to assure everyone that this was an isolated incident and not something that I am proud of." - Yoan Zouma.
    "They are loved and cherished by our entire family, and this behaviour was an isolated incident that will not happen again." - Kurt Zouma.

    Isolated incident...

    It's noticeable with the game keepers around here, more than one is a wife beater and there empathy with humans as well as animals is noticeable by its absence.

    I'd heard they were waiting for Sue Gray to finish her report on the incident before considering action! <laugh>

    Essex Police have now said that they're investigating it, as it may have taken place there.
    Why they're prepared to look into it and the Met arent...

    So Zouma is picked by WHU this evening <doh>

    Shame on Sullivan, Gold and Brady. Shame on David Moyes.

    An awful human being playing for a gutter club who have ducked out of making a moral decision. I hope Watford stuff them this evening.

    Agreed. Though I was kind of hoping that anyway.

    I didn't think my hatred for that grubby club, it's criminal owners and Neanderthal fans could be increased.
    I was wrong! :emoticon-0183-swear

    Where opportunity allows, I have considered my opinion of people based on their behaviour with animals in general, but 'pets' in particular. It has stood me in good stead.

    Lascelles and Holgate make it 1-1 in the Newcastle v Everton game.
    Both scored in the wrong end! <laugh>
