Bwood have a 1700 allocation. Would this be the lower tier? Being midweek and a schlep I doubt they’ll bring four figures unless random Pool fans fancy joining the bandwagon for a night. It’s going to be disgusting either way.

Be nice if the ****ing television companies could decide when the game will be played given it’s 3 weeks away.

The full allocation for a PL game is 2500 which includes the upper tier. Given this is a cup game they’d have been entitled to a larger allocation (around 5k iirc), so it sounds like they’ve just taken the lower tier.

Look how ****ing stupid he is, looking smug about it too. <laugh>

"yeeaah i got em" look about him. ****ing idiot.

If Antonio wants to start making comparisons, I'd point out to him what some psychologists and animal rights activists might say, abusers of humans often start out as animal abusers. Afterall if someone finds it ok to kick/slap a cat, does that same person also find it ok to kick the child that was in the room.

I remember with the person that abused that horse recently, she worked with very young children, she lost her job as a result, because the trust goes with it.

PS Ponks.. we are still in a European competition... along with the Spuds... it may be a bit Mickey Mouse but it could provide one of us with a way into Europe next season ... either way it's not as cringe as the Emirates Cup and means that, at this stage, our season is not as dead as yours ... you're welcome <laugh>

Yeah they wouldn’t take 5000 if it was being played at the local park. Just wasn’t sure if 1700 meant upper or lower. I prefer lower.

I get team loyalty and all that ... but Antonio's comments were ****ing stupid ... should have said something along the lines of "moment of madness, understands the gravity, apologises unconditionally... and we've all told him he was a proper stupid ****"... as it is, it comes across as "cruelty to animals is sort of OK, provided you are not a rascist" <doh>

We are a country of animal lovers ... and to misunderstand the strength of feeling underpinning that reeks of arrogance ...

He’s not the brightest button if his driving exploits are anything to go by.

It would be like me turning round and saying to Antonio, the only reason Zouma never lost his job is because he is black, especially as the white school teacher lost her job for slapping the horse - which isn't the case, it was dealt with based on risk!

Ie hurt animals, might hurt children (see previous link), so school teacher loses her job. Zouma playing for a football club will be expected to be involved in community work, which most probably will entail working with children. So if Antonio wants a fair outcome, should the teacher be reinstated in her job or should Zouma lose his as well, hmmm...

Borehamwood vs Luton QF unlikely to happen now imo.
 
Zouma was fined the maximum amount he could be, that money was donated to an animal charity. If people think the club were going to write off a 30m asset for this, they're dreaming. Yeah, he kicked and hit the cat, and he's a **** for doing it, but it's obviously not trying to hurt it. It's a 'get the **** out!' Anyone thinking that's some malicious attack to hurt it is an idiot if they believe a 6ft4 premier league CB tries to hurt a cat by kicking it so it slides 6ft across a tiled floor and runs away. It's getting punished for breaking stuff in the house, not condoning the way he's gone about it, but the outrage is well OTT. People losing their **** and acting like he's been caught torturing and murdering kittens.
Cats have been taken away for evaluation, I'm wondering how you are going to react if they get returned because neither show any sign of abuse and the prosecution doesn't happen.
 
Think this could be the thin end of the wedge for West Ham

The lack of action from them over Zouma was a **** decision and now their sponsors are starting to pull out.

The "captain" has tried to make it a race issue so just wait for he is only being prosecuted because he is black, no it is because he is a Kunt

Seems only fair that Zouma is taken to visit Whipsnade and made to walk through the Tiger Falls enclosure naked except for a shoulder Billboard with "I hate cats" painted on it ... <whistle>
