To think that Kurt Zouma should be banned from keeping animals after abusing his cat?

I hope so too. I did read in the week that he was going to play him. What a manager Moyes is, unbelievable.

(Just tried to post before on here and got an "Apache Tomcat" message! What on earth that is I have no idea).

It seems as though something is going on to try to derail this thread. We need to keep shouting about this….?see my post above..

I really hoped that at the end of the recent apprentice Lord sugar would turn to Brady and say those immortal words “YOU’RE FIRED!! (Never going to happen I know but a nice thought) ?

STILL not trending!!

It's trending Shinamae which is why I'm back on.

Good that he's had the cats taken off him but bloody awful to think that for some, football is so important it's more important than animal welfare.

It is now but it’s taken three attempts to get it trending. I really want to keep this thread alive but I suppose it will die a natural death and I’m not even the OP!..

Shinamae this is a regular occurrence.

It is so frustrating.

I have reported it to HQ and also emailed them.

They also responded on a thread about it.

Their first response was to deny that it was happening at all.

Then they said that I didn’t know how the Active List worked; saying that if threads weren’t posted on, they naturally dropped off the list.

I explained that I fully understood this, and stressed that the Active List does not work properly.
No further responses!

It’s still not showing on the Active List.
I had to look on the ‘I’m On’ place to find the thread this morning

Maybe we need to keep popping on, even it it's just with a wave or smiley face to keep it 'up there'.

It’s top of the list! ?

David Moyes has picked Kurt Zouma to play today, as a lifelong West Ham supporters I am disgusted.

I bet that you are GG

Do you think that fans will stop buying season tickets etc?
Will it have a long term affect on West Ham, what’s the general feeling there?
Thank you!

Thank you!

He hasn’t had a good reception from fans when he has appeared on the pitch, last game (or could have been the one before) he was in the line up, was boo’d loudly and apparently he began to feel unwell and consequently didn’t play.

There are a few young lads that I know who think he should play as football is everything to them, but the rest of the supporters I have spoken to think he should be suspended and sold.

Thank you, that’s good (about most people)
He felt ‘unwell’
I bet the other players are not too chuffed either. I bet that he’s put a lot of unnecessary pressure onto them too.
As I said earlier, I imagine that he’ll be getting lots of threats etc.
I wonder if he has protection?

Suspended and sold to me is a very light punishment, I can think of a lot of punishments I’d like to give him but I would probably end up in jail myself ?

Thanks for that information Fanny..

Totally agree, I am sure I read somewhere that if/when he returns to France he is likely to be prosecuted, with a sentence of up to four years if found guilty.

Shinamae I half watched a program a couple of weeks ago.
It was either US or Australian based. It was called Animal Rescue something or other.
Anyway, they had a special police department who deal with animal cruelty.
There was a man who had been abusing his cats. They found DNA evidence in his flat (the cats’ blood) and he was arrested and put on trial.
Why can’t we do this?
This country is crap

There was talk of him being dropped from the French team, I didn’t hear anything more about that.

Fanny I totally agree with this and you .. off out in a minute friends caravan awning has disappeared yesterday and it cost £1000 so we are going to attempt to track it down but by now it could be absolutely anywhere, anyway it will get me off iPad for a little bit catch you later ??

The problem is that people forget. One only has to look at how we reacted during the pandemic. And the furore with people not sticking to rules. Including the government. Partygate. Which even now is losing steam.

I am in the civil service. I work with many left leaning colleagues. Young people. I have 5 adult children who we see regularly.

Partygate was massive but now I only ever see people complaining about in on GN and in the Daily Mail comments. Yes, I do read the Mail. Along with most other news websites.

The public are fickle. We go from one drama to another and barely remember the last one.

Zouma will play and people will get over their outrage. Not that I would, I'd like to see him and Moyes sacked, but the sad fact is that we just seem to get addicted to a drama and then move on to the next one.

I wouldn’t call this outrage being ‘addicted to a drama’. That demeans what happened and our response to it.

Blimey Zoejury if you think people being outraged at a sportsman abusing his pet cats is akin to being addicted to drama I am totally lost for words…

Zoejury what a ridiculous post - "addicted to drama" - words fail me.

He's on - part of the line up - back 4. Unbelievable!
Moyes should be sacked (just read he has told him to concentrate on the game and get over this!!) The man is a disgrace.

Despicable.
