Culture wars stoke climate change. I have qualified to post graduate level in sciences and arts. I love Spaniels and have restored rivers that have been featured on the cover of Nature Water.

Ok so now you want football players to stop trying to win and revelling in achievement. That is all you needed to do to end the validity of your argument on this specific.

So? That has absolutely nothing to do with what I am saying.

Andrew Bowden-Smith @andrewbowdensmith.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
My point is that time and time again all the" hang the entire lot" crew, you included, try to criminalise people who have individually done absolutely nothing wrong. Based only on a vitriolic knee jerk position..

You are using false equivalency if that isn't what you are saying

That is a pure hypothetical. Logic dictates that they stopped.

Andrew Bowden-Smith @andrewbowdensmith.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
Where did I say it was fine? Someone said they didn't just do it to catch up, and logic dictates that if they stopped in 2018 that was when they caught up.

You are taking a pint of principle as a personal statement. Why?

Andrew Bowden-Smith @andrewbowdensmith.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
I didn't say you did. I just said it should stop, I have said it above and will continue to do so. You said I am out to bat for them, I am not, I am out to bat for the process, and the truth.

Andrew Bowden-Smith @andrewbowdensmith.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
I have made completely coherent points based entirely on facts. I do this because others make completely emotional rants based on false equivalency and completely unfounded claims of wrongdoing post 2018. That is simply wrong, and is prejudiced behaviour.

Andrew Bowden-Smith @andrewbowdensmith.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Then stop using false equivalency. It really is that easy.

Andrew Bowden-Smith @andrewbowdensmith.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
People pushing false equivalency, and pushing unsubstantiated claims of post 2018 wrongdoing are blowing my mind. So let's call it quits

Andrew Bowden-Smith @andrewbowdensmith.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
It would be helpful for you to state your evidence that post 2018 the club did anything against any rule. I think this is a public forum. Have at it.

Oh the old repost pole on technique. Well done. How very X

Andrew Bowden-Smith @andrewbowdensmith.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Yes I do. If they did it they did it to catch up. I stand by that. The accounts post 2018 essentially prove that. They have become an absolute beacon of book balancing and growth. The best academy system and net spend of any big club.

When did the catch up?

Andrew Bowden-Smith @andrewbowdensmith.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
If they did it, they did do it to catch up. The charges end in 2018.

Nor could Chelsea, or any other historically bent club. And on the facts of the case your claim is entirely hypothetical. You have no idea what team they could have by now. Unless you are saying it is impossible for clubs to become successful without already being so.

The difference being Lance Armstrong's individual physiology was enhanced by drug use. Are you saying that's what happened at city?

I just asked Gemini if RFK jr had ever been correct about vaccines. The answer was a uncaveated no. So for once, at least. RFK jr is correct.

There's a missing term in the description. One year after Covid arrived, and was still present, the UK left the European Union. This hobbled the economy and hence the funding of the NHS. Not to mention the exiting staff.

It is all very well except in that it tends to support a general sense of British Exceptionalism which is one of the pet peeves of the hawks.

There are not unlimited opportunities. The principle reading being grid capacity in urban areas. When a large scale solar facility is planned, so too is the upgrade of the grid connection locally. This is efficient. To do that over hundreds of thousands of small set ups is not.

I sooo think he hopes he was autistic in only this one instance. Explaining jokes is an autistic thing. But that is only because they (I) explain everything.
