Leggy, I fear we'll be competing with Everton for the most kickoffs this evening...

PtB - agreed

I didn't even know who was meant by that reference, I had to check the fixtures.

Not good.

Blimey, it was a joke. I give up.

I get annihilated week-in week-out.

That's me out of here for good.

Enjoy.

If you don't understand why it's hurtful and homophobic - please don't leave, just take this as an opportunity to learn more about it.
Chances are very high someone gay read your post.
Chances are absolutely 100% someone gay has to listen to every singele example of homophobic chanting in a football ground.

We've all made mistakes, and we can all do better.

Should Everton best Liverpool tonight that will mean that Norwich will have the longest unbeaten run in English football against their local rivals.
So COME ON EVERTON!!!!

Is that in games or years gcwenn?

One of my pet hates is the abuse of statistics by commentators/pundits by selectively choosing parameters. For example, X Town are unbeaten for 12 years against Y United, when they have only met twice since then and of course they lost 12 years ago.

Well done, PtB for calling it out. You are right, we can and should all do better

Yep - I thought a lot of the point about racism/sexim/homophobia is that none of us are perfect, all of us could do better and it's better it's pointed out politely than a social media pile-on. It's about self-reflection, not tantrums.

Yes, disappointing that FR didn't just say 'yes, sorry folks, kind of slipped out - thanks for the reminder' rather than flounce.

These terms have been used for years in relation to certain clubs (think the Y word for Spurs), and I would assume most - certainly in these parts - say it more out of unthinking habit than any underlying racism/homophobia and would appreciate any feedback.

Ah, the beautiful game, remember that? Let's put down some jumpers and have a socially-distanced kickabout. Long shots only, and no hugging and kissing.
