Ok, ok, ffs. I expect to wake up to the news we've signed Nelson, Lankshear, and Emiliano Martínez.

I’m looking forward to Marco Gabbiadini coming back to bolster the striking options.

If we want former players who have proven themselves at this level, we should be looking to sign Matt Elliott and Paul Moody

Can anyone zoom in and check how many X’s are on that shirt size?

What do you achieve from body shaming an ex player exactly?

Had it been in the days of Moody and Elliott, it could have been an XXS and still fit him. Those shirts were as baggy as circus tents.

His 1 in 5 goal to game stat is better than the majority of strikers we've had in recent seasons. I'd take him back!

Is that really body shaming?

I don't see many complaints when someone posts that x could do with going to the gym and bulking up.

Agree, we're talking about people within the context of being physically in-shape athletes. I doubt @MJB would have written that about any bloke on the street of Dwight's size.

How is it not body shaming?

In regards to your second point, that's not as offensive in my view.

You found someone asking what size shirt a player wore offensive? Gosh.

 

[MJB]

I mean, it was a throw-away comment during a five-minute break from watching Project Hail Mary as it tickled me that the signing shirt being held up looked comically large.

It wasn’t specially related to Tiendalli himself but, if he’s in any way offended, I offer my heart-felt apologies and a new three year contract.

Yeah I mean I personally prefer to laugh about a player's skill or lack of it rather than their shirt size, but that's just me.

As somebody who has often been told I'm too skinny and need to put on weight, I can assure you that it is as mentally damaging as being told you are too heavy. People thinking it isn't are not helping, especially if they are happy to pull people up for doing the same thing the other way round.

Didn’t you call someone that you don’t even know, a c**t the other day?

Can you list all the things you find offensive so we can make sure we don’t upset you in future please.

I find Dwight Tiendalli's presence in an Oxford shirt offensive.

Yes that's a very fair point, that was said to me in my youth (sadly I don't get called 'too thin' any more but it was insulting at the time).

Saying somebody is large for their profession is shaming, but saying somebody is small is not?

If you are a dwarf in a particular panto it could be career ending.

 

[Berliner]

F*ck me, do we need a signing or a decision on the stadium!

 

[SteMerritt]

or a decision on the stadium!

What, then have people saying it's too big arguing with people saying it's too small?

Does that 3 year contract come with a mobility scooter or travelator to speed him up?

I did indeed - a deserved remark for someone who gave up on the job. I wouldn't make a personal dig at his appearance though, so there's a difference.

Apart from effectively saying he looks like vagina

What's the difference between 'shaming' somebody for being big, and 'shaming' somebody for being small?

So personal digs are fine as long as it’s not about their appearance?

The big guy's shirt is better for signing by players with large handwriting?

You can only fit 3 player’s signatures onto a Brannagan match worn shirt.
