    I will not lose a minutes sleep if Burnley and forest go down or if Leeds and Leiceter fail to get promoted this season.

    Or maybe put Young in the boot and drive him out into the forest and leave him there.

    Yeah, I've seen that now I've done further reading - I was just going off the PL report from May. They are still cunts though.

    Firstly Haff, yes officers make mistakes of course, we are humans put into difficult positions where we have to make split second decisions.
    With regard to the 1000 officers suspended or on restricted duties, I don't know where you got that number from and I would be interested to know. Suspended and on restricted duties is a practice used on officers while an investigation is carried out. As I am sure you know, they have to go through due process and an allegation does not mean they are guilty, after all innocent until proven guilty also applies to Police Officers!! 
    The great thing now is that we have body warn cameras so it's much easier and faster to resolve complaints. Infact the number of complaints against officers came down once cameras were introduced.
    Thats not to say there are not bad officers who deserve to be sacked, sadly they are, and frankly the sooner they are out of the force the better. I fully accept the Baroness Casey report and am ashamed that some officers act that way. The commissioner is determined to change the culture in the MET and the vast majority of officers, myself included are committed to helping him do that, but it will take time.
    I am sure that the laws we police are enforced pretty consistently, you have to remember that we the Police do not make charging decisions, that is the job of the Crown Prosecution Service. The man on the Cenotaph was arrested for violent disorder as he jumped on a car and threw a bin at another vehicle, the CPS made the decision to charge him and the court convicted him. He was not just waving a flag he was being violent, a big difference and remember our actions have to be proportionate. 
    With regard to the video, I would first remind Mr Atherton that the protestors are British people too, although this does not give them the right to attack people. The video is confusing and it's difficult to judge exactly what is happening. The officers' actions are being looked at, their video footage will be reviewed and they will be spoken to find out their decision making process. All officers in command have decision logs to record why they did what they did, or did not do what they didn't do. Hopefully this will provide clarity and learning so officers make better decisions next time.
    The so called "Patriots and veterans" who tried to get to the Cenotaph on Saturday were breaking the law because an exclusion zone was put in place to protect a lawful ceremony taking place by the Western Front Association at the Cenotaph. I am pretty sure that actual veterans could have applied to them to take part. Instead, they tried to push their way through to the Cenotaph and attacked Police Officers who stopped them. They also shouted things like "You're not British anymore" at Police, charming.....
    If they had just been waving flags and climbing on monuments not in the exclusion zone then, as we have established, they would not of been committing offenses, and we would have no grounds to take action. Lawful and proportionate remember.  
    They were violent, Police feared they would go on to cause more violence or disorder and they were arrested. Like I said there were legal experts advising Police in real time as to what offences had been committed and what constituted a crime. 
    Lastly Haff the Police are a disciplined service and I like all other officers follow orders, but I am responsible for the actions I take. Nobody can order a Police Officer to arrest someone, unless they are wanted, each arrest has to be based on the genuine held belief that a crime has been committed and the person has committed it. I have a duty to call out bad behaviour and I have, several times, and will continue to do so. I do not and will not turn a blind eye as you suggest.
    I suggest Haff you become a special constable, then you could see for yourself how the Police work, you could call out bad behaviour and maybe you could help bring down crime in your area.  So Haff what are you waiting for I'll send you the link to apply if you like?

    I'm all for being petty as fuck. Don't play the PL music, don't line up for the fair play handshake, don't have the stupid cardboard PL signage for them to stand in front of when the handshake usually takes place, don't have the PL badge on the arm of the shirt (or cover it up with a black armband or something).
    Give them nothing of their fucking brand.

    This whole debacle just beggers belief- £19.5m more than allowed over a certain 3 year cycle that coincided when the whole world entered a period of unprecedented disruption and turmoil.
    Add to that the clubs most expensive ever signing get arrested and can neither play or be sold.
    The UK government makes sanctions against any business from a whole country and basically pulls the rug from the lions share of our sponsorship.
    the premier league change some of the rules on what sort of interest paymnets can be offset for capital investment just as we are committed to the biggest capital investment any club can make.
    every single pundit etc is saying the same thing. Everton are being fucked over by the Premier League.

    So….. based on that we could ourselves and many others sue Chelsea and Man City for their league finishes?
    fook me. This reminds me of the government in the pandemic,  creating absolute nightmares for themselves.

    How the fuck could the panel on one hand say that we had no sporting advantage from the overspend and then say that they believe the relegated clubs have a case for compensation?!

    Remember that time when the Snake 6 tried to destroy English football for their own gain and the media went to bat for them saying you can't punish the fans and then the PL basically did fuck all to punish them and handed them a tiny fine?
    Fuck the PL.

    He just needs to keep doing what he’s doing. It will come.
     
    Unless Maupay gave him The Ring Video Tape of never scoring before he went off on loan.

    I do very much feel for Alli as a person and hope being this open about his problems in the past now help him have a renewed optimism for the future. It appears like he is now facing his demons head on in a positive manner rather than in a destructive manner. I am sure he will get lots of support from the club and those around him. I feel Dyche will be a good manager for him in this sense. 
    The lad obviously has an amazing footballing talent and it would be great to see him get back to his best rather than see that talent wasted, as in the long run that would become another demon for the lad to carry around with him.
    Turning himself around would give him immense pride and help him become a positive role model for others. I think purpose and pride in helping others is as good as any medication when suffering mental health issues - good luck Dele.
