[Kenny]

All legal yes, but then thats hardly a yardstick for morality.

Just quoting Jeffy Shi

 

[Trips]

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the moral issue with energy drinks? Gambling firms I get (even if I disagree) - energy drinks?

Energy drinks, gambling firms and cyrpto currency, nice trinity of sponsors

The club sell alcohol in the ground - should they stop that too?

Theres been a bit of an issue with young people and energy drinks for some time, exceptional high sugar and caffeine content and (up until recently) marketed at this age group.

If you pass a secondary school gates you usually find a stash of cans. It's hardly human trafficking but there are definite question marks over the industry.

Yes

Was that an answer you wanted to hear? I'm sorry if I object to having to explain to my son that our shirt sponsor is a gambling firm operating outside of the country they are targeting, a crypto currency and now an energy drinks firm, and why all 3 of these things are not desirable.

For some reason who sponsors your shirt appears to matter more to kids than to us fully formed adults

Fair enough, why are you sorry thought? Those are your views that you are entitled to.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

I'm not, to be honest applying morals to anything will always be subjective.

My biggest bugbear is that I don't care much for gambling and my personal view is that it has now saturated sport to an unhealthy level.

Hey ho back to football

I work for Sainsburys and the objections are loud and clear. Soon shops won't be able to have high fat or high sugar items within two metres of the door. Convenience stores (in general not just ours) have lobbied for a delay but January '22 is when everybody is expected to comply.

I wouldn't fancy having to explain who Manscaped are. At least their sponsorship isn't very prominent. We've yet to see any player endorsing their ball deodorant.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Whats the Issue with Crypto?

I have money in a few

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Anyway I came on to change the subject anyone watch All or Nothing Spurs?
Just watched the episode where we beat Spurs 3-1.

I found it fascinating, changed my opinion on Mourinho, thought he came Across really well

Oh not much apart from being the currency of choice for organised crime, the dark Web pretty much uses it exclusively for all transactions, illegal crypto farms tapping into electric supplies popping up, completely unregulated and open to pretty easy market manipulation where unsuspecting investors are locked into a repetitive cycle of booms and busts.

Apart from that it's fine....

Don’t you dare try and change the subject to football on this thread!!!

Sorry not sure how to attact that (especially as topically for the above I actually have Sky Bet blocked) but its a survey of where fans think you club will finish.

Delighted that at least a few people out there feel like Nuno was preventing us from the title and that Lage will now deliver it!

Edit - Never mind, the forum hath delivered!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Widest split really shows none of us seem to have a clue what will happen.

 

[Tony Towner]

No fan base thinks they will finish below 15th. Kind of tells you about the general positivity at this time of year

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Watford and Norwich have low confidence.

 

[BillyDee]

Or realistic expectations?

 

[Tony Towner]

Watford and Norwich have low confidence.

Relative I'd say. They'd both snatch 15 this year (puts on helmet), so would I
