    One thing Diane Abbott has never suffered from is a lack of media coverage...much of it negative...but you really can’t hide your own, imo offensive, comment behind her sillier ill thought through ones.

    ‘A little levity’/ ‘dumb statement’...sorry...you’ve defended it twice. Football is obviously important to us all...but there are at least three contributors on here who’ve experienced life threatening illness. I’ve been there too with my eldest son. We converse regularly across continents about results and during matches and my favourite comment, when things aren’t going right, is ‘oh well...only football’. We both know exactly what I mean and it’s just a question of keeping things in perspective.
    You lost...get over it...only football and you’ll have a club to watch all over again when August comes around. This time last year we couldn’t even say that.
