    Well, they didn’t minute it. But it was very much part of the context.

    But still, you’re arguing the toss over the FA’s motivations now, so you’ve accepted that you were originally talking out of your arse, and continued to talk out of your arse, for some unfathomably fragile reason.

      Welp, still no source backing your initial claim that the ban was due to women’s matches outperforming men spectator-wise.

        But you accept that they did, and that’s progress.

          How could I possibly accept this premise without having seen a shred of tangible evidence? That would be delusional.

            You didn’t read any of the history you declared did not exist?

            For shame.
