Why is it already to say LETS KILL STOKE but not LETS RAPE STOKE

Either both are equally inappropriate, or you're picking and choosing what to be offended by.

Is it alright tho? It's kind of a logical fallacy to say it is. Saying you are going to kill/murder someone is still a bit of a psycho thing to say. How about don't use either?

But in any case, it's a cultural and puritan thing, not necessarily something we should agree with. Same reasons sex in media = bad, murder = OK. That doesn't mean it should be alright.

I think you guys have the mental capacity to understand that much instead of acting dumb and pretending people just like to act offended.

I find both distasteful tbh

KidA actually defending me

*I'm not trivialising people on their death beds here I'm just saying that I'm done with this world and I feel fulfilled.

Falcao not on the bench. R.I.P Rumbo.

 

[Zabojnik]

Speaking of trivial things

I think we're going to lose 3-1 tonight and Hitcher will be insufferable

Sounds about right. We really are specialists in kickstarting other clubs' seasons, aren't we? Happened with Napoli after the Supercup and now Inter as well.

This is what it, in Korea they call it Dong chim. Basically joining your hands together like a gun and trying to poke someone in the arsehole

Kan-CHO!

LMAO.

Is Bellerin highly rated by the Arsenal fans? Haven't heard much about him but he's looked promising in the few appearances he's made so far.

Very much so.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

4-4-2!!!!

 

[Clegg]

Blind, Carrick, Rooney, Di Maria, Mata, RVP.

Dat front 6.

I like him and prefer him to Chambers at RB

 

[K1LLER7]

Think the best person to measure ADM against is Fabregas rather than Sanchez.

Hazard imo.

Both play similar roles.

 

[KidA Seven]

Januzaj didn't even make the bench. Fuck you Gaal. I have no problem with that, but you could have played him for the u21s two days ago if that was your plan.

 

[Facism]

4-4-2!!!!

m8 stop trivialising starting lineups pls

Not highly needs to get stronger and has to go through alot more education on the defensive side of his game. Potential is there though

 

[K1LLER7]

Falcao not even on the bench.

Rumbo'd.

 

[Yurt]

Point taken Sir inky

The XI is out now please be excited!

Well that's fair enough isn't it? If you are offended by both, and you don't use both, you're being consistent.

But umpteen posts go uncommented on every week in here with 'blank is going to murder us', 'we are going to get killed this weekend'. Just because the American media dictate that sex is worse than death and rape is a worse term to use than murder doesn't mean I think they are, and I wouldn't necessarily modify my behaviour to display that.

Odd that people would pick on Yurt for that and not every time he's used murder.

Falcon isn't even on the bench so how can I be =(

 

[FlutterPuffs]

its all about the set up baby

lol

Regardless I literally just had a whatsapp chat and a friend confessed someone nearly raped her a few years ago. Weird coincidence.

 

[Plasma]

Ozil on.

 

[K1LLER7]

That could be a 352.

Probably is a 352.

Gaal pls.

 

[RefigeKru]

Mesut Ozil :O

 

[Fergie]

Ander back to the bench.

Falcao taken out by Jones in training.

 

[Godan]

OZIL!!!

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Why not just use merked?

 

[moojito]

Now, then. Is this first few months Ozil, or most recent few months Ozil?

 

[KidJr]

The king is back!!!

 

[Fintan]

Kill as a metaphorical term has been in use a lot longer than rape and doesn't have as harsh a context. It's more "transferrable." Like you can say "that's killed any chance we had of winning", "kill the lights", etc. Couldn't really slot rape in there and have it mean the same. It has a meaning outside of actually murdering someone: to stop, do away with etc. Don't think you can really say the same about rape.

 

[Juz]

Özil is alive!

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

I was one of the people defending that poster because I believe context is important. I don't like being a hypocrite with some words being ok to use and other words not being ok, as if some victims are any less important than other victims. That's not how gaf works though. I hope Zabo doesn't get banned for pointing this out as well. And no, they didn't trivialize anything in this context.

We'll shut up.

Yeah I agree. Especially as "a cancer..." is a common expression and not meant to make light of cancer. I think the ones offended were people who speak English as a second language.

 

[Wilbur]

It's a 3-5-2 with Blind in defence, guarantee it.

 

[Salazar]

That could be a 352.

Probably is a 352.

Gaal pls.

Hello Cola I did not recognise u

 

[bud]

it's like he's petting a cat.

 

[Hixx]

[Zabojnik]

Strootgod in.

RIP Lazio.

 

[dark_prinny]

[Facism]

football thread can get very philosophical outside of afer dark and pictures of pulga drawn on peoples balls.

 

[KidA Seven]

Everyone stahp. We get it now.


Let's get back to saying fuck you to Gaal for his treatment of Adnan.

 

[Bold One]

4-4-2!!!!

dafuq is this pathological desire to shoe-horn Rooney into the midfield while shafting Herrera on the bench?

makes no earthly sense

 

[Hixx]

I wonder if Jordi would be offended

Man, this Latte Macchiato is nice.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

ozil's touch is so gentle.

it's like he's petting a cat.

I hope the cat consented

Only joking

Spoiler

the cat didn't know he was there

 

[Plasma]

Offside lololol.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Don't worry lads, I've reported you all.

 

[Zabojnik]

Real question is who's getting injured today?

 

[mellz]

legend

 

[Wilbur]

It's definitely a 3-5-2.

 

[Yurt]

Allegri is going for a 3-5-2 as well

Bros in fail


We are going to lose our soccer match tonight
