The loan isn't there for the ****s and giggles. The loan is there because it is refinancing existing commercial debt where money would be going out the door anyway, to people who don't care at all about the future of the club.

Let me replay it for you. You're the sexist one for assuming that the women banged up in prison are at high risk of anything, that they're all delicate little flowers. You have absolutely no interest in women's safety or comfort - none of us did until the trans question got publicised in the 'right' places. You did know that there's been a policy about where to place transgender prisoners for over 10 years, yes? And yet you're taking about it like it's a brand new issue.

So the prison service is incapable of individual risk assessment? You're assuming that trans offenders are the most dangerous type rather than, say, drug dealing. You're also assuming that dangerous criminals go in with general population. Are you really telling me that putting a male low level drug dealer (where they aren't built because their clientele is city lawyers rather than junkies) in the same prison as a female violent sex offender built like a brick ****house who significantly sexually assaulted men is bad news because the woman is at risk? It's difficult to see your assumed position as anything other than transpobic and sexist.

You've got personal experience of women's prison do you? Or are you just making assumptions based on sex? My understanding is that women's and young offenders prisons are worse than men's prisons because they need to go that little bit further to get in.

None of that was at all evident on Saturday. Quite the opposite, even to the point of ignoring the Nunez overlap on the right several times.

6 months ago I would have agreed with you, but Onel looked REALLY out of sorts on Saturday, like he hated the rest of the team and the feeling was entirely mutual. If that is the case and he's unsettled/unhappy, a break might not be the worst thing to happen now for the longer term benefit.

That's the quality of your response? 'of course the press don't put spin on anything, or leave out inconvenient truths that don't align with their world view of things'? That's your safe haven? This is why Churchill made the comments he did about the merits of democracy.

So dangerous women criminals don't exist? The bar for female incarceration is way higher than for male incarceration. Genuinely. So proportionately, the female prison population should me more dangerous than the male (although I accept that the nature of offences is different between the two populations). And I wasn't talking about the question of jailing women. I was talking about the rights of women in prisons, well in all prisons really, but especially women's. Do you know anyone that has spent any time in a women's prison? One final note. Do you know how transgender prisoners are held? Do you think they just go into general female population as a matter of course? Do you think that prisoners considered dangerous, including murderers and sex offenders, are just sent into general population? If so, you know nothing, Jon Snow. And why do you think you know nothing? Who's controlling the narrative, and what's their agenda?

I'm in the 'let's own it' camp too. I was walking to Coventry this year from the Tesco car park, and some of their fans were doing a really crap impression, so I showed them how it was really done. Turned what could have been embarrassing into something funny. For me, it shows the passion. Sure, the sherry was strong in that one, but being drunk only empowers you to do what you want to do when sober. I'd much rather have an owner that gets drunk and shouts slightly ill advised things into a microphone than an international arms dealer, an oil billionaire that's a little too close to a fascist dictator or an autocratic regime that still executes people for blasphemy.

And tired...

Here's a dangerous concept. Some of them are.

Where were you arguing for female prisoner rights when it wasn't a question of whether you put a tabs woman into a women's prison? Where were any of those now shouting loudly about women's rights? The truth is no-one cared about female convicted and incarcerated criminals until the trans issue raised its head. Now, back under your bridge with you.

I'm not actually sure why the hell gender or sex is relevant here at all. Is a woman who murders cats and a person any more or less evil than a man that does it, or a trans man or woman? What's the relevance? Genuinely. If they were gay, would that be relevant? There is a really unhealthy obsession with this from some quarters.

I don't have the information to perform a full risk assessment, but on the basis that their victims were first a feline and second a man, I wouldn't house them in an RSPCA shelter, and whichever estate they went to i would expect that both the risk of them harming others and the risk of them being harmed would be adequately considered before making any decision about their provision. I would certainly hope that the views of a few guys on the Internet weren't taken into consideration in the carrying out of that risk assessment. For the hard of thinking, the short version of that response is: I don't know, you sure as hell don't know, and it shouldn't actually matter what either of us think based solely on publicly available information and associated spin.

Despicable behaviour...

I noticed that. It was painfully obvious on Saturday. He's masked it better in previous games, but I fear that he is nowhere near the player he was. And I was concerned on Saturday that he'd got another injury, rightly so it would appear. It wouldn't surprise me if he retired at the end of the season. Then again, it wouldn't surprise me if he refused to - footballers can be stubborn like that.

Great. That’s only a 5.5 hour one way trip for me via London. Or 6.5 hours cross country via Sheffield. Probably worse on the Sunday coming back. I’m not even going to look at the cost of a ticket, which, all in all, would be a bit pointless because I can just imagine the conversation with my wife… *Edit* Sorry, that’s the train. You said bus. That’s only 12 hours solid each way and has to go via London. I’m sure my son and his stoma bag will be fine with that…

Sadly not available now. Does home membership but not tier 1 or 2 help me at all? I don’t mind paying an extra £12.50 to get tickets. My son’s membership is both home and away as a junior.

That was my immediate shout, showing my age. JD wasn't much better, but he was seriously undermined by Chase who sold everyone who was any good. We could have been great had we done something to replace Gunny that fateful season. Andy Marshall was a good keeper, Prem quality, but nowhere near ready for what we threw at him, and in that 4 down 2 up season, it was a really costly move. Especially when we were being offered Chris Woods as I recall. Simon Tracey wasn't the answer either - 1 appearance for us I believe.

Your evidence is a survey of one? Jog on.

We've missed that. Some people hate it, but it gets us going as a crowd.

We might be able to boo more at away games, but that seems to be really counterproductive. We're supposed to support our team to do their best, not berate them for not doing as well as we want, or in the manner that we would decide to do it were we in charge.

Funny story. I saw the last 20 minutes of that game with my son at the Sky stall at the Trafford Centre in Manchester. Sat next to us was a young city fan who was wearing a nice crisp light blue top that he'd got for his birthday a couple of days previously. I felt really bad for him. But not that bad...

I drive electric and generate my own electricity with solar panels. Next stupid comeback? Look, i know you're a teenage muppet with nothing better to do than troll people who actually have to make decisions about their life that don't revolve around their football club, but one day you'll understand, and you'll be the guy thinking that the next kid is a total idiot. That's the way of the world. Just perhaps try and grow up a little quicker, for all our sakes?

A white straight guy decided that homophobia was no longer an issue is what happened.
