Very strange and insecure. You accuse me of not engaging with what you've said despite this entire exchange being framed around your inability to understand my post, and just rambling off on tangents regardless. Best of luck to you and your intellectual prominence - I'd suggest some work on...

With all due respect, your point seems to be that you don't like my use of the word 'weaponise' (despite it being correct) because more extreme examples of weaponisation exist, and you would prefer make up your own definition for the word. You have then accused me of double standards and...

There's ample evidence of it for anyone paying attention. I agree with you that much of this nonsense started on the left, but as has been evidenced on here, many on the right are perfectly happy to do the same when it suits them.

It's not about what you or I think, it's about what the word means: Weaponise: to exploit for the purpose of attacking a person or group, or for spreading discord.

Sorry, you don't just get to make up definitions - the idea that you can only consider something weaponised if you lose your job is just complete nonsense.

And you'll continue to be a raging hypocrite who froths about racism claims from the left will gleefully dishing them out when it suits you.

The above charts have nothing to do with FFP or anything like that - they're just crude figures for revenue and wages. The charts suggest that even with our current revenue (which is likely even higher now as a result of FA Cup/Community Shield and European Qualification), we could already be...

Well yes, that's kind of my point - the right claim to hate all this stuff, but very few have anything to say when it comes to the overt weaponising of antisemitism. It's a glaring double standard. I absolutely agree that many on the left are similarly guilty of weaponising these sort of...

I'm not. It's a thread called Israel vs Hamas, and I shared a recent news story related to that topic - in fact, a news story specifically about someone being absurdly convicted for supposed antisemitism. I'm not really sure what you are missing here - you seem to agree that these weaponised...

Why not? We're the biggest 'overperformer' in the league in terms of wage expenditure - I think every club will have a 'if X signed a new deal, or if we signed X' type story. I think clubs will be able to crack the top 8 for the odd season here or there (ie Forest last season), but agree with...

Likewise, I'm struggling to understand what on earth you're on about in relation to my post. There are very evidently people on this site who throw around antisemitism claims for fun - that's not even a matter of opinion, it's evidenced dozens of times over, and as per the example above, it's...

Deloitte recently published their 'Football Money League' for the 24/25 season. Other than really highlighting the ever-growing gap between the big boys and the rest, I think there's takeaways for us in both the 'Revenue' and the 'Wages' chart; On wages; we are clearly very, very conservative...

And tanked the stock markets in the meantime. Art of the deal :ROFLMAO:

This is an inevitable outcome of normalising and weaponising cheap discrimination claims, as so many do so often on here.

The post I'm replying to is suggesting he's unreasonable for wanting a big pay rise - I'm highlighting that I don't think he is.

I’m not suggesting fertility is purely economic, but cultural explanations don’t work unless you can show a mechanism that operates independently of the material constraints. Hungary actually reinforces this point; native fertility rose slightly from a very low base but it quickly hit a...

He's reportedly on £50k a week, which in Prem terms is pretty small fry. A France international who has only been outscored by Haaland, Salah and Isak over the past 2.5 seasons is surely worth a huge pay rise on that?

Pretty much how I see it. I don't think we have a hope in hell of recruiting a better striker in the next 10 days, but ultimately there's little point in keeping a player who doesn't want to be here. He's out of form, but is a proven goalscorer at this level, which is something we spent a...

I think we're in for a major wake-up call over the next year or so, and the ongoing calls for us to actively dismantle our best ever team will not age well.

You’re grouping a huge range of social and economic changes under neoliberalism and feminism and then treating those labels as explanations, rather than descriptions. Saying 'all these countries have feminism' doesn’t establish any sort of causation. Fertility decline tracks industrialisation...
