The first one being in about 6 weeks when they're relegated.

I think this is interesting from a branding/perception point of view. Mason Greenwood has not been convicted of anything, and (as far as I know) has a continuing relationship with the partner with whom the rest of the world decided that he was a wrongun with, on the basis of what might have been a 'play' social media post (with awful connotations). Nevertheless, innocent until proven guilty - except where brand value is concerned.
He is also a very good footballer, that England could possibly do with.

Was it fuck. Not a chance. Did you see the pictures too?

Already has.

Marvelously Spursy.
-
Also they just released their accounts and they're not good, their worst ever single year losses and an increasingly weak cash position.
All starting to feel a bit Leicester.
-
He’s an horrid little cunt and I hope someone breaks his fucking legs sharpish.
-
Win the first two games and most of the fan base won’t give a shit.
-
Yep. The new manager's first game at Sunderland feels huge. That's not an easy fixture so if he can get something there, it sets them up for Brighton at home. A draw at whatever Roker Park is called now, doesn't feel enough, though, and a loss is
a huge problemhilarious. -
Tottenham is the generally accepted first choice for the (presumed) final relegation place? Then Leed, then WHam? Or is it just "Not Forest, don't care"?
-
I really hope it’s Spuds.
-
I’d prefer West Ham to Leeds. Too many London clubs and fuck Sullivan and Brady. And Danny Dyer. And Russell Brand and James Corden. And that stupid crossed arms hammer thing they do. And putting London on their badge.
-
I think Leed and Wet Ham are more likely to struggle next season if they stay up than Spurs so for that reason I favour Tottenham.
-
Anyone but Forest, but preferably Spuds.
-
Spurs > West Ham > Leeds, for me.
-
I’m with Simon on this - FWIW West Ham, Spurs and then Leeds for me.

You do like to go into bat for this guy, don’t you.
Best case scenario is that his partner made the whole thing up and he was unfairly hounded out of a job where’s he paid a fortune to do sport into another job where’s he’s paid a fortune to do sport. In a world where most actual abusers suffer no consequences at all, even when that abuse is known and proven, that doesn’t seem like an outcome worth fussing about. It is not indicative of a worrying trend.. as evidenced by the utter lack of a worrying trend.
We all know that the more likely thing is that he is (or, at least, was) an abuser.. but held sufficient power over his partner that she decided against taking it any further. Because that is what usually happens and, yes, very often with the abused person saying in the abusive relationship.
If they are still together then it follows that either he forgave her for besmirching his name and interrupting his career. Or she forgave him for being an abuser.. or she is just unable to leave that relationship for reasons (likely) none of us could understand. We know the most likely option because, absent a window into their lives and thoughts, we have statistics to go on.
He’s good at football. So fucking what?
Innocent until proven guilty is a standard that the state must follow. For the rest of us it’s a choice. We can use our eyes if we want.
