    I don't see how that can be so offensive. I mean, I understand it because it is that way and people react to it, but if you look at what he said it was just a creative way of expressing what gays ACTUALLY do. Hammering butts ;) It's like certain people doesn't think it's right to call a black person, black. "no, don't call him black, call him culturally enriched", like black is something to be ashamed of? If we have a color we call black and someones face has that same color, it would be unnatural to not use that word to f.ex seperate that man from another. In the same mould, a gay man has and/or desire sex with men. Why is it then wrong to state that that is the case?

     

     

     

    You can not compare those two terms at all though. Calling someone "black" is not the same at all as calling someone "Der Butthammer". One is an acceptable term to describe someone's ethnicity, the other is a derogatory term to describe someone's sexuality. To say that it's ok because "it's what gays do", is a very silly view to take in my opinion. To assume that he engages in anal intercourse, just because he's admitted to being a homosexual is just ignorant.

     

     

    I understand what you're saying, but do not completely agree with you ;)

     

    Let's turn it around... let's say this story was about Hitz going Tiger Woods on lots of women and someone called him "der pus*yhammer" etc, would you then respond:

     

    "...that's a derogatory term to describe someone's sexuality. To say that it's ok because "it's what heterosexuals do", is a very silly view to take in my opinion. To assume that he engages in vaginal intercourse, just because he's admitted to being a sex addict is just ignorant."

     

    If yes, fair enough. If no:

     

    I feel like the problem is that we make homosexuality into something special, when it isn't. Just like heterosexuality isn't. It's just different sexual orientation. If we are to accept it, it should not get treated any different than what it is. Meaning, something that happens before birth and is not a matter of choice. It shouldn't matter. Like skin color, haircolor, height etc. But somewhere along the way we have decided that it's ok to joke about X, but not Y. Haircolor, but not race. Height, but not sexual orientation etc. When none of these things should make a difference in judging a persons character, because they aren't a part of a person character at all. It's labels, "he is a gay man", "he is a black man", might as well say "he is man with DNA". 

     

    If, and notice the IF, it's "OK" to make sexual jokes, then why not homosexual jokes? What makes the homosexual version cruel if the heterosexual version/counterpart is funny? Homosexuality shouldn't be anything to be ashamed of, it becomes that because it is not treated as something normal.

    Der Butthammer.

     

    Slow clap for gay jokes already. Very supportive and not the least bit offensive and immature.

     

    :crylaugh:  Oh no, the butthurt is strong in this one.

     

    But seriously, have a :clap:  yourself for being so right on. It must be great up there. Me? I'll laugh at whatever the **** I want, thanks.

    All people have some sort of sexual instinct and orientation. Some people are what we call "gay". These people were born with a slight different brain structure than people of other sexual orientations. That should be the end of story, imo.

     

    One day we will hopefully have no gay parades and no gay pride movement, just like there is no heterosexual parades or heterosexual pride (it is however a good thing right now because it helps young homosexual to accept themselves, when their surroundings might not). There should be no reason to be proud of something you were born with, something you never got to choose.  I have a few friends that is "gay", they are my friends because they are fun to be around. If there is anything they have or should be proud of, is that they grew up to be just that... likeable people.

  3. I just don't see a future for Albrighton at Villa. Maybe a Whittingham type player in that he will be a very good championship player but just not good enough for the premier league.

     

    Yes!

     

    Get the confidence back in his game and he can be a very good championship player. Maybe a good premier league player in the future, but he isn't as of yet.

  4. Obviously got something wrong with his head

     

    This.

     

    I think he's a talented player.

     

    ...is more important than this.

     

    There are many talented players out there, but it is those with the right mentality and determination that actually makes it.

  5. As it appears we will be having a very busy summer with numerous incomings and outgoings thought it would be useful to have a thread with an updated list of the confirmed transfers. Will list players, reported fees and reported/estimated wages (obviously these can be edited for more accurate readings).

    Incomings

    Libor Kozak - Lazio - Undisclosed

    Aleksander Tonev - Lech Poznan - €3.2m

    Leandro Bacuna - Groningen - £1.2m

    Jores Okore - FC Nordsjaelland - £4.2m

    Nicklas Helenius - Aab - Undisclosed

    Antonio Luna - Sevilla - Undisclosed

    Jed Steer - Norwich - Free

    Outgoings

    Barry Bannan - Crystal Palace - £1.75m

    Stephen Ireland - Loan - Stoke (woohoo)

    Darren Bent - Loan - Fulham

    Richard Dunne -£50k - Released

    Eric Lichaj - £20k - Released

    Andy Marshall - £20k - Released

    Jean II Makoun - £30k - Undisclosed

    Simon Dawkins - £15k - Loan ended

    Stillian Petrov - £50k - Retired

    Nathan Delfouneso - Loan - Blackpool

    Dan Crowley - unk - Arsenal - £200k

    Brett Holman - Unk - Al Nasr

    Derrick Williams - Unk - Bristol City

     

     

    Based on these transfers my estimate is that our total expenditure over the year is about £5.56m

     

    1. We save £19.24m on salaries. Within that I have put Bent on around £75K a week (based on google search), Holman on £30k, Fonz & Bannan on £20k + estimated that Stoke pay us 50% of Irelands salary. Might not be exactly right, but I would recon it's close to those figures.

     

    2. We have recieved around £4m in transfer fees. (2m from Bent's loan fee, 1.75m bannan + crowley & willams)

     

    3. We've added £11.7m to our wage bill. And that is "being careful", might not be that much. Estimated 25k in average wage between the 7 new ones + 50k in improved contracts for existing players.

     

    4. We've spent £17.1m on new players. That's included £1.7m for Helenius, £1.6m for Luna (spanish reports says it was €2m) and £4,5m for Kozak.

     

    So...

     

    £19.24m saved a year + 4m received = £23.24m

     

    £11.7m added to wage bill + £17.1m spent =  £28,8m

     

    £28.8m - £23.24m = £5.56m

     

    If Stoke pays Irelands full salary and we are able to ship out Given & Hutton (salaries 100% paid) we would actually be able to break even :)

    S              Nicklas Helenius               DEN       £3.5m    AalBorg BK                                          1st july to july 2016

     

    Was never that much. Read outtakes from aalborgs half-year report which stated that result before taxes was improved by £2.3m compared to 2012. It is believed by the aalborg supporters that £1.7m of that came from the sale of Helenius. Most of them say that the fee was 15 million danish kroners, which is equivalent to exactly £1.703.820,-

    I know we are probably done, but with Fellaini and Herrera probably joining Man Utd tonight it would be interested to see what the response to a Nick Powell bid would be. Crewe fans are still raving about how great he was (keep in mind that he played with Westwood and Luke Murphy who doesn't get too many mentions in their forums these days).

    Just been announced he's gone on loan to Wigan.

     

     

    Hmmm, ok. Probably a good signing for them then.

     

    Still hope we're in for a surprise, but looks unlikely. Could do with one extra midfielder in the squad, even if it isn't that exiting AM we all wanted.

  9. Understand the perspective of "what if benteke gets injuried" etc (AND that kozak isn't necessarily a "back up").

     

    But what if Westwood can't play for a few months, who's gonna dictate play and drill passes?

     

    Still think we need another midfielder.
