BR.
Decent shout actually, forgot about them. They had a terrible run of form.

Winners: Chelsea
Overachievers: Norwich. Possibly us too if we remember how to play coherently
Underachievers: Spurs if they lose Bale, though I can imagine City slipping out of the top 4. Possibly West Brom too.
Going Down: Crystal Palace, Hull, one of Cardiff, Stoke and Sunderland

Seriously?

Somebody has to lose out. Logic dictates the team of last season's top 4 most likely to not finish back there is Arsenal but Wenger seems to have ring-fenced permanent UCL for them and, hey, who knows. Weirder things have happened and its not exactly guaranteed things will pan out the way they appear.
Still, if Spurs lose Bale, the top 4 becomes fairly predictable.

And even if Spurs do lose Bale, if they get 51m, Di Maria and Coentrao for him as is being reported, plus Soldado, then they'll have a better team than last year.

Perfect time to be selling him though after the season he's just had. Wont be easy to back it up and if that's the case could mean any future offers will be substantially less.

There's a few ridiculous ones.
All in all, I don't think there's anything wrong with it as long as it is used sensibly and contextually as advised at the top.
My experience of stewards though would worry me that they'd probably use this as an easy cop out for escorting people from the ground.

What are the ridiculous ones?

'Midget', 'Handicapped', 'That's gay', 'You're gay' just to start. I mean, yes, they all could be used derogatorily but 90% of their usage is going to be completely harmless.
I'd also argue archaic terms like 'coloured', 'queer' and 'half-caste' would almost certainly be used by people who did not know better as opposed to anyone exhibiting particularly offensive terminology.
I can't be arsed to get in to the debate properly right now, but surely the important thing is not the words used but the intention of the use of those words. Just because someone refers to a black person as 'black' rather than 'coloured' doesn't necessarily mean that the sentiments they are going to express are less racist than someone using the term coloured.
Whilst I think its important that we crack down on derogatory behaviour and attitudes I think it's important that we address the behaviour as opposed to picking an arbitrary list of PC words and non-PC words.

I can't see what good will come from this, if the stewarding is anything like at SJP, the stewards will ignore 99% of abuse. Not dealing with that on minimum wage.
Although football really needs to sort out its homophobia problem.

I acknowledged that in my first post.
I also expressed doubt that stewards wouldn't abuse it to kick out those they didn't like, but you raise a valid point too. Between those that will do nothing and those power tripping you have to be very sceptical about the effectiveness of a list like this.
Liverpool should at least be commended for doing something but I'm not sure a football club is ever going to be able to address what is clearly a deeper lying social issue simply by banning a list of words.

Calling something gay is not offensive anymore. But some people will see that differently.
