I don’t think it’s that simple.

I think 3.2% of sexual assault cases lead to a conviction.

The way the law works, you only need to prove reasonable doubt which is incredible easy when consent is a concept.

They estimated 85,000 women a year are raped or sexually assaulted. 2022 there were 2,223 charges of rape.

There does seem to be a priority to protect innocent men against potentially malicious allegations, over prosecuting rapists and reducing the number of women being raped.

If you remove or erode the social unacceptability of rape and sexual assault, that’s also incredible detrimental.

To me, it does seem more likely a women isn’t lying than is & knowing that it’s hard to prove, I do still think there needs to be some action.

I’d like to see a campaign or something by the league. Creating a bit of a dialogue about sexual assault.

It’s why I think a stronger female presence in the game is so important. We need more women’s voices in the game

Updating the public is irrelevant. The accused, the victim and just judicial system don’t care if the general public feel uninformed on progress and nor should they

No it’s also national team captains and coaches that’s why it’s not heavily favoured to international performances

Henry wasn’t robbed. I’ve noticed this narrative crop up, I think as more fans who didn’t watch football then.

Nedved got 62 more points. Which is way more than Ronaldo (23), Owen (36), Figo (16), Shevchenko (36).

It was only journalists who voted at the time. Now it’s also captains and coaches of national teams.

Nedved was unreal that season. Had he not been suspended Juve would have won the CL.

I think he gets criminally underrated and as time has passed.

Henry didn’t win it because of the CL really. Arsenal didn’t get out of their second group over Ajax and Valencia whereas Nedved dragged Juve to a final.

Fouled player is unfair. Amount of times the pen is given by a player who passed into the box and was fouled. Not fair it’s now your RB taking it.

Be a lot more interesting to see this via academy rather than club they played at.

Thinking about West Ham: Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Lampard, Carrick, Defoe, Ince, Glen Johnson - they must all have minimum 50 caps each. Which is so impressive for 1 academy. But vast majority of their caps came once they left West Ham.

West Ham have contributed more to England than Spurs say (and I say that as a spurs fan) but were much higher up on the list because we’ve always had a decent amount of England players in our squad.

The government represents the people. We’ve had this laws for over a hundred years.

We aren’t America, we don’t view free speech in the same way.

That 18/19 final was such a let down after both teams amazing runs.

As a spurs fans it will always be such a bitter end to loss a game basically on a handball technicality.

I just wish we hadn’t started basically started 1-0 down

Bit old now but Cole v Ronaldo was always great. Ashley Cole just pocketed him every game.

Oh god I totally agree.

I think this forum is a great example of why VAR exists & why it’s shit.

Most people on here only watch their team on the TV, probably didn’t play. Consume football through online, mostly.

As a result there is this fucking hysteria around decisions and an obsession with there not being any errors.

It’s seen as like some deep rooted injustice now if a decision doesn’t go your way. Previously that was just sort of accepted & people move on. Now we have Reddit and twitter so people don’t move on, they post it and show angles and argue about it.

Before, you just went to the game or watched it on TV and that was kind of your consumption of that game over with.

I don’t know why people are so quick to ignore the actual football. Like Newcastle Arsenal. Tight game, but Newcastle were better than Arsenal. Yeah gooners didn’t get bailed out by the referee, but the fact is they still weren’t as good and that’s why they lost. - but all of that becomes irrelevant because there is some controversy to obsess over.

Had Arsenal just played well & won we wouldn’t have a fucking club statement, Arteta acting like he’s Malcom X & gooners fabricating illuminati level conspiracy theory bullshit as those Mike Dean is this puppet master over all pundits.

He was one of those players that suffered from people being too reactionary.

I used to get ridiculed on here whenever I said he was a good player. He’s easily good enough for the premier league. It’s not surprise he’s gone to the championship and is one of the best players in the league.

At his best he’s shown he can play Champions League level football.

Spurs here just checking in. Because you know, kanes a club legend.

I was saying this to all Bayern fans at the time. I think people didn’t get how good he is, but spurs fans did. Regardless of age and contract he was by far and a way the best way any club the world could spend £100m that summer - apart from Bellingham.

I think now the dust has settled post saga. It’s just a good deal for everyone.

• We got a HG legend who was our stop scorer 10 years in a row and record goal scorer & we look are doing well without him.

• He left at 30, for a decent fee to go and play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.

• Bayern got one of the best players in the world, for a fee they can afford.

While it kind of worked out Sisosko for £30m on transfer deadline day was such a weird signing.

Thing is that wasn’t consensus at the time.

Kane has 15 goals, 5 assists in 10 games and is 30.

Less was 33 and just won la liga and was Barca top scorer

Silva has been Chelsea’s best player for 2 years.

Perisic was free and got 8 assists last season and is unbelievable fit he just got unlucky with the ACL.

Van Der Sar, Larsson, Zlatan, Teddy all worked out pretty well for united.

Cambiasso kept Leicester up, Parker got spurs player of the season.

I mean there are literally loads of good signings 30+.

Weghorst made sense, he knew the manager and they needed an option.

Milner is never a bad signing

Grealish was an overpay but he’s been great for them and top clubs have to have HG players

Richy made a lot of sense, he’s just been shit.

He can play on the left or up top and we needed depth & Kane was likely leaving the summer after and the thinking was we’ve already signed Brazil’s number 9 the season before so don’t need a replacement.

Issue is he’s forgotten how to play football.

In 2005 spurs sold Kanoute for £5m and then last day of the window signed Rasiak on the last day of the window for £3m from derby

Think he played about 6 games, didn’t score. Kanoute had a poor first season and then was top scorer in La Liga with 21 goals & was a top striker in at Sevilla.

We actually came 5th that season and then signed Berbatov the summer after, so didn’t work out too badly but I remember being so confused

Maybe we should get rid of referees entirely. Just have a virtual ref, whose whistle is blown via a noise in the ground?

I think the argument is, you need to just let the referee, referee the game.

Yeah you didn’t get a man sent off from an off the ball incident, not the end of the world. These things happen in football.

Get to fuck
