Yes I have and it's shit, you pontificate yourself into a creamy mess and leave everyone with eyes that see a chance to avoid the mess you make.

Good day sir.

I think it’s a fair question to ask given how many people have admitted they haven’t in the media thread.

I think Haaland should be playing for free in retribution for the raping and pillaging undertaken by his ancestors

Again, your claim is that the club adopted the coat of arms of Manchester as a crest, but secretly changed the meaning of one element to mean something else.

Quite a lot of mental gymnastics going on there.

No that is your claim. I am nkt claiming they adopted it and changed it. I am saying they used a symbol of a ship, with the widely held view it represented the canal that opened the same year. Just because a ship was used elsewhere, doesn't make it the same meaning.

Ships existed before they were used in that period that involved slavery. And long after. As all symbols, they can be used to symbolise a variety of things.

That is not gymnastics, that is just basic awareness.

Might as well have watched Peppa Pig to learn about the effects of the collapse of the Byzantine empire on coconut production and availability.

Read it have you?

If you are defending some gimp connecting a cartoon ship on a few football badges with slavery you need to re-evaluate your priorities, it basically suggests that all ships are bad.

The piece is stupidly called Abandon Ship, I wouldn't be surprised if the anti this and that gang will read it and go to Manchester with chisels and orange paint.

That was only at the weekends. In general the Vikings just wanted to farm, trade and explore.

Yes I have and it's shit, hence the Peppa Pig analogy.

What did Peppa pig ever do to you?

If you take this argument all the way you might as well demolish civic buildings, libraries, universities, galleries, parks etc etc in all major cities from Glasgow to Sydney.
