Zatman Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Call me a cynic but I find it too much of a coincidence that within a week of Mings being stripped of his captaincy that the Premier League have abandoned the taking the knee campaign 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's just a joke I've had with myself ever since they beat us and then there was a clamour for us to sign him. Lol Also due to the hairstyle and size/build at the time I guess lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or so that we didn't upset the PL by being difficult? I don't get where you're going with it being too much of a coincidence? If you seriously think that was the case I think you're in realms of flat earth conspiracy. If you're suggesting that Mings simply would have disagreed, then its not exactly a coincidence.

We are just slow walking into SG might be racist territory, we're currently just experimenting with material and figuring out the best route to get there, and seeing if we can gather some momentum. If that fails, we'll need to dig up a case of sexual assault from somewhere. Edited August 4, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its more to do with the other Premier League captains than anything else. Is only 2 other black captains and one is a kid at Bournemouth and then Lascelles who I have never heard speak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a gesture but nothing actually changed much in the grand scheme of things, players were still kneeling and getting racist abuse from fans. We are still a long way from real progress on that front unfortunately but I'm not going to get into that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 all I know is that , like clockwork I forgot it was gonna happen at the start of the game so every time the refs whistle went I went for an almighty "come on Villa" roar, only for them all to lean down for a couple seconds. really threw me off my rhythm! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
