Forest A Fa Cup 3rd round Sun 9th Jan KO 510pm Itv

[Nos89]

Ermm have folks forgotten about our last trip to the Forest in Wenger's last season. We the holders losing 4-2 after which BFG retired immediately. I'm struggling to feel confident about this one. They're form has dipped a bit, but you can be assured they'll be up for the game. Wouldn't surprise me if it went to penalties

See that we are going to be wearing an all white kit for this game, as part of some anti knife crime campaign that adidas are sponsoring?

Scandalous.

Why would teenagers stop ‘merkin’ one another because we play a game dressed like Real Madrid?

For exactly the same reason racism will stop because they go down on one knee at the start.

True! God, I despise what football has become!

All very honourable and worthy no doubt.......but while youngsters go around unchecked carrying machetes and blades this wont stop

Until the Government gets its ass in gear and actually DOES Something; rather than the platitudes they have been serving up since 1998 regarding Gang s and The ensuing drug money driven violence that has now been adopted by dis-enfranchised young people in the inner cities they (young people) now financed by Drug Gangs will just keep killing each other.

They say it is all about Postcodes / Territory - But it is the Heads of the Drug Gangs that enable and encourage it to keep happening.

There is a very good film (Independent) film called "Blue Story " that was written by one of the young men who used to be part of it that portrays what is happening, the reasons why etc?

The gangs involved base themselves on the Drug Gangs of inner cities in America and the townships in Jamaica: The Language they speak, the music, the clothes - in the postcodes - an individual either joins the Gang of that particular estate / area and adopts what they do or they go "un-protected', not only from the Gangs in the other areas but also from the gang who run the area where they live.

It is genuinely frightening, but of course all dressed up to be Cool and Macho, but is in truth Complete and Utter Bullshit.

The Big Gangs from the major cities: London, Birmingham, Manchester Glasgow and Cardiff - Are responsible for the County Lines Crime that began about 4 - 5 years ago and is now Epidemic - so that they can expand their Drug Businesses across the whole country.

They employ a tactic known as "Cuckooing" Cuckooing is a form of crime, termed by the police, in which drug dealers take over the home of a vulnerable person in order to use it as a base for county lines drug trafficking. The crime is named for the cuckoo's practice of taking over other birds' nests for its young.


Our Department did training in dealing with and supporting 'Victims' of this - The methods and limits they will go to in order to achieve this is genuinely evil, where they identify mainly single vulnerable people: often with learning difficulties or disabilities who live independently but have a support / social worker, or sometimes single young mothers, they threaten, torture, rape and all kinds of other measures which also includes the 'individual' being kept prisoner on their own dwelling or when they do go out they are accompanied by 2 or more gang members.

So whilst we can all view things like the white football kit, the taking the knee etc somewhat light-heartedly and yes they are done with the best intentions (and rightly so) Until The Government Step Up their efforts many young lives will continue to be lost and victims of the drug trade will continue to have their lives Ruined - all in the name of Money.

Can’t say I am happy with an all white kit. I will feel like I am supporting dirty Leeds. Cloughie will be turning in his grave.

[arrgee]

I had meant to ask was there any team in English (or Welsh) football that we don’t have an issue with ?

I don’t have any issues with Orient. They cleared out of north London just after Arsenal arrived and have never beaten Arsenal since. Also they wear red and white and their kits in the mid 2010s had white sleeves to boot.

However, from talking to some of their fans at Brisbane Road I don’t think it is wholly mutual

Also no issues with Fleetwood Town who play in red shirts with white sleeves at Highbury Stadium. Like an Arsenal tribute act.

Every one of our squad will test positive Saturday but the FA will still force us to field a team comprising of Gunnersaurus, the tea lady, Josh, the groundsman, Stan and One Bard

I’ve got One Bard as first goal scorer (header).

Yaaaaaaaaaay! You Betcha mate...Got me boots ready !

I don't think those thigh high leather numbers will help you get off the ground too well for a header mate

Although it may keep the defenders from marking you too tightly

Having read your description of how the gangs operate, I can definitely appreciate how us wearing a white kit for one match can help prevent this from happening.

It’s most definitely not just an adidas marketing gimmick whatsoever.
