Good to see such opprobrium for betting industry sponsors.

It is consistent with the Lerner years, when there was such outrage on here at taking hundreds of millions of pounds from a family which made its fortune from ruthlessly marketed and targeted predatory lending.

One thing I'd love to know. We support a club in the most commercialised, money-grubbing league in the world, one which is driven by the fear that someone, somewhere, is unable to spend their every available penny, cent or yen on Premier League product. And yet we get sniffy about an 'unethical' sponsor. Why? Our entire existence is unethical, so why get so worked up about whether or not we get money from a bookie?

And we're owned by somebody who owes a fair bit of his fortune to credit cards, which are the very work of the devil.

I've no issue with gambling, I do it myself. However, the grip it has taken over the game is of concern.

I'd agree with that to be honest.

My problem with the industry is the greed - they never know when enough is enough, particularly around advertising.

I've said this before and I can't remember the exact words, but someone once wrote about how the Premier League had been uniquely successful in persuading supporters that it was their duty to hand over money to their club. Put that together with gambling's insatiable greed and you have a dangerous formula.

Most gambling advertisers these days are aimed at people watching on telly in Asian markets.

I watched a match since the restart with a shirt with a chinese-character gambling company name on. That plus the match taking part in an empty stadium with shit fake noise over the top from Sky, it's like the ultimate proof the match-going fans don't matter.

Thank looks awesome. I mean, it would look better if it didn't say 'CAZOO' in the middle in giant letters, but still. Very nice.

Don't like the fact that Grealish is nowhere to be seen in this marketing material. As captain, he should be first in line surely?
