This guy is quietly doing better than almost all of our loanees. Wouldn't be surprised to see him here in a couple of years.

Sunderland is pretty good for him. Hopefully he can get more luck with injuries this time.
-
That's probably the worst place he could end up.

I want us to sign him just so Beasely woud look like the massive cock he is.

I laughed imagining Iva playing scrabble. Would you dare to tell him that he's misspelled a word?

Chelsea looking at a Belgian partnership?
CHOULO19 replied to Chelsea Legend 11's topic in Matthew Harding Stand
No offence to the Belgian league, but I think we need to take a step higher than Vitesse not a sideways (or even backwards) step like this. I don't expect our best prospects to be headed there if I am completely honest. -
Here's a small list of some of the history of violence against LGBT people in the US as a direct result of their sexual identity and orientation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_violence_against_LGBT_people_in_the_United_States Add to that the incredibly high suicide attempt rates for LGBT people, especially teens in the US due to bullying and discrimination against them. You have to look at it both ways, from the perspective of LGBT people. That kind of intolerance only alienates them further. I promise you, tolerance will not hurt your kids; intolerance will hurt LGBT people and possibly your kids as well.

I also recently got a black belt....I've lost some weight and had to buy a black belt so my jeans won't slide down PS: What a thread this was! Brings so much memories back!

Well that's because none of those concerns are even remotely rational as has been thoroughly demonstrated in this thread. Fine, let's leave the term 'homophobe' out of it even though it is very clear from your posts that your motivation is fear of homosexuality. I'll repeat what everyone has already said: What changes in your life as a straight man (I'm assuming) now that gay marriage is legal is: Absolutely NOTHING. Your 'concerns' over this are completely irrational and irrelevant. Homosexuality has absolutely nothing to do with incest and exploitation of marriage happens all the time in 'traditional marriage' for getting citizenship, tax evasion...etc. You use a lot of calculated terms to falsely describe reality, but 'Protectors of traditional marriage' is some incredible bullshit. What it actually means is people who want to force their sexual orientation on everyone else and stop people from getting married to who they want to even though it has absolutely nothing to do with them. "a baker who kindly declines an offer for a cake" again, that's just incredible. What it actually means is a baker who discriminatorily refused to bake a cake based solely on someones sexual orientation. What planet do you live on? Gay jokes are probably the most used jokes in the world. Again, your concerns have no roots in reality. Also, it's quite astonishing how you manage to victimize yourself while attacking someone else's freedom and rights! What does that have to do with anything? Someone spitting on anyone else is a jerk pretty much regardless of the circumstances and certainly regardless of his sexual identity or orientation. Are you really saying that LGBT people should not get their right to marry because a homosexual person spit on a priest?! And NO it's not religious freedom to discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation just like it is not religious freedom to discriminate against Hindus for example because they have not accepted Christ as their savior and thus are all sinner. That's like saying stopping Al Qaeda attacks is infringing on their religious freedom because they believe that their religion tells them to blow people up! Religious freedom stops when the freedom of others start. Meaning you have all the religious freedom in the world when the actions affect you and you alone. But when your religious actions start affecting other people without their consent and infringing on their freedom and rights, you don't have the freedom to do that anymore. When you refuse to sell someone a cake based on their sexual orientation, or religious beliefs, or race...etc. then you are infringing on their rights and are guilty of discrimination. 'Bullying religious institutions' So much for forming your own opinions, all your terminology is straight off the propaganda machine! Yes, religious institutions are being bullied into stopping their thousands of years worth of discrimination, persecution and abuse of a minority based on the sexual orientation that they are born with. It's just heartbreaking... Again: There simply is NO case for preventing a minority from practicing their basic human right to marry which does not affect you, your rights or freedom in any possible way just because it doesn't conform with your version of morality.

It's still $90 here

Yeah, why in the heck would you want to turn it into Petr conspiring against Chelsea fans and malevolently betraying their trust when there is a much simpler and more reasonable explanation?!
-
It really is that simple. Can't understand why people want to make it more complicated than it is.

That's not really answering the points, to be honest. You'd of thought that if Scalia thinks that the justice system and the way the supreme court works is an "attack on democracy" he would not have become a judge... Anyway, let's stop pretending it's about how it happened because there is a very clear fear in your posts that make it evident that it is not. Whether it is fear of the unknown or due religious beliefs or some other reason I do not know but it is very irrational. Yes they have and continue to be although I really don't understand why that needs to be a 'prerequisite' to them getting their human rights. They are humans and humans have the right to equality under the law and the right to marry. Hence their human rights were being violated prior to the ruling on Friday(?). No, that's incest and that has nothing to do with homosexuality as you can easily replace that example with a brother and sister. Incest is illegal and will remain so because because it is not a human characteristic. No one is born incestuous, a lot of people are born homosexual. That is a scientific fact. Anyway, that is some incredible piece of fear-mongering. What you are scared of literally has NOTHING to do with homosexuality. What happens now that gay marriage is legal? Well it really doesn't take a fortune teller to answer that, just look at the TENS of countries that have long since legalized it. I'm happy to tell you that the sky has not fallen in any of them. The rest of the post is more of the same along with victimizing homphobes, so let me try to make it very simple: If you are interested only in a 'traditional marriage' then gay marriage does not affect that in any possible manner. That is simply a fact. You're calling the continued brutal attack on the rights and freedom of LGBT people a 'defense of traditional marriage' even though traditional marriage literally and demonstrably has nothing to do with this. I'm sorry that those homophobes don't get to persecute and marginalize this minority that they are so used to abusing and mistreating, but if we are to live in democratic states based on equality then that it simply not possible. No one can be 'brainwashed' into homosexuality. Unless you are born with that sexual orientation you can't be 'talked into it'. That is a scientific fact. Kids are being 'brainwashed' to accepting homosexuals for what they were born as in hopes that the abuse they get decreases. Too radical, I know... Usually in controversial 'issues' there are valid points for both views. This is NOT one of those issues. There simply is NO case for preventing a minority from practicing their basic human rights that do not affect you, your rights and freedom in any possible way just because it doesn't conform with your version of morality. So please STOP.

It's an arsenal fan saying that Peter is already the best keeper in their history! That's just pathetic!
-
You have to feel sorry for Arsenal fans, though...
-
Thanks a million for all the memories, the saves, the trophies, for everything you legend. Simply the best keeper in the history of the club, probably the entire country. Can't really sincerely wish you the best at your new club but I genuinely hope you enjoy your career and life wherever you go.
-
Sorry, but there's literally ZERO correlation between the two unless you are suggest that the armed forces should be funded enough to have in every area in every country in the world! Too slow, old man http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/7709-the-pub-discuss-anything/?p=1110932

@NishC300, You're a very bright young man, but FOX is not very good for your IQ So let me take you up on a few things here: I'm no expert in the American political system but there are few things you've mentioned that are simply wrong: The supreme court judges are NOT technically legalizing gay marriages because they are not passing a new piece of legislation. THAT would be role of representatives in the senate and congress. The judges are ruling that the current laws and constitution make gay marriage legal. That is their job which is to rule how laws should be interpreted and whether or not they are constitutional. They set a precedent and then later cases have to refer to it. That is (my understanding of) how the system works. Whether or not you think it should be that way is another issue that has nothing to do with this particular case. Secondly, supreme court justices ARE elected by the senate (which is in turn elected by the public) and all judges in general are actually elected by the public in the US. It's a pretty controversial and frankly stupid system but that again is irrelevant to this case. No one saying that this is an 'attack on democracy' actually means it and it's just an excuse to attack gay rights because this the same system that is used for all laws and cases in the US. You can't just now think it is an attack on democracy. If it is then the entire way the system has been working for ages is an attack on democracy and has always been. The rights of people and minorities in particular do NOT fall under the self governance of people and should not be put to a vote. Human rights transcend votes. If the majority of people in a country vote that all people whose names start with an 'N' should only be paid half of what everyone else makes it doesn't mean that that should be passed in law! Or in a more serious example, just because the majority of people in Burma think that Muslims in the country should not have rights and considered citizens it doesn't mean that that should be allowed to continue. That's not self-governance, that's prejudice and racism and prosecution of minorities. And you (and FOX) can call it an 'attack on traditional marriage) all you want but the fact is whether gay marriage is legal or not that does NOT in any way affect a man and woman who want to have a 'traditional marriage'. No man in history has ever said to a girl "Let's get married" and got a reply of "No, we can't because gay marriage is legal!" In contrast, criminalizing gay marriage is an attack on homosexuals and their rights because that does prevent two people who want to get married from doing so. No amount of propaganda or brain washing can change that. And I'm just shocked that you would even suggest that homosexuals are 'playing victim' as if their struggle isn't real. "When was a homosexual's business shut down? When was a homosexual's career ruined?" All the fucking time! That is why people have an incredibly hard time 'coming out'. That is why most celebrities and especially athletes never make it public if they are homosexual because they know that their careers and their entire lives are going to be made a whole lot more difficult. Look up the statistics of homosexual teens suicide attempts because of bullying, learn about the violence and hate crimes against all LGBT people because of their sexual orientation, the struggles they face in the army, sports, politics...etc.

And because JT doesn't have the pace to cover for him if he goes forward.

To be fair, JT has always returned A LOT earlier than everyone else to training for the past 5 or 6 seasons.
