No back up keeper and a no. 1 that looks like he'd rather be anywhere else.

4 right backs and none of them good enough.

A marquee 50m CB that looks unsuitable for a back 4. And Pablo Mari.

Central midfield not improved from last season. Xhaka was virtually a Roma player a couple of weeks ago and now he's been given the captains armband back.

A Uruguay international effectively on strike and the club is just pretending that isn't happening.

No attacking threat, relying on two youngsters to bail us out every week.

Two overpaid ageing strikers winding down their careers at our expense.

A squad still full of deadwood that no other clubs want to go near.

Manager and Director both woefully out of their depth.

Confidence across the team looks shot.

Apart from that I'm pretty confident of a decent season!

i disagree - if you see how the italian players reacted to winning the Euros or players react to the league or champion league then the aim is still to win ultimately. however, winning isnt the be all and end all and perhaps that is the problem because you dont need to win to rake in the cash. 4 "Champions" league spots has been the catalyst. all that money flowing to more or less the same clubs.

Yeah, you politely accuse me of being an alcoholic every time I post up anything that frightens you. You start all the trouble and then cry because people are mean to you?

What does success mean now? Certainly doesn't mean fulfilling the lifelong dream of playing for the club you supported as a kid. It means moving to the big money clubs, getting those endorsements, piling on the cash. Wonder what would happen if a new competition was introduced that had zero prize money and was played for the love of the sport and competition? The "slaves" would be too tired to turn up. The clubs would field a Z-team. I get that top sporting professionals deserve rewards for getting to the top of their sports. I don't get how their greed has run so far out of control though. And when you dedicate yourself to greed at that level it's very difficult to believe there's room for anything else.

that sounds like amateur sport. i guess to the players it is a job after all. luckily for them a very well paid job. it isnt the players fault they get paid ridiculous sums. it is the global fans that allow it, less people take interest less sponsorship less money.

The point is, you criticise people for using "bad language" (I call it highly descriptive and accurate language) while you give yourself a free pass to act the utter cunt. And then when I call you a cunt you cry about naughty words.

OK, agreed. The fans are absolute tools and ultimately the enablers for these awful people that pretend to be sportsmen. The standard of football has fallen inversely to the earnings these media hyped hack-masters (maybe 20 players in the whole world are the exception) steal, but fans clap like seals begging for a fish. Yes, I can agree on that. Fans are the main problem now. Maybe it's inertia, maybe it's just a few years until fans recover their dignity and abandon this shit.

If I'm a shrinking violet, why do i keep replying to you even thougj i know it might prompt more abuse and threats of violence - you're the coward mate, threatening people from behind a keyboard and using loada of naughty words your mum wouldn't let you use at home....

Yeah yeah daisy. You and the other big man have a standing offer on the table. Ain't me hiding. You can be 100% guaranteed I'll take you up on any offer you don't have the balls to make.

Again, the lack of comprehension. Deliberate on the occasion, I assume.

You barge into a conversation and accuse me of hiding behind a keyboard. I say fine, I'll come out from behind the keyboard, name the time and place.

You then repeat the claim I'm hiding behind a keyboard, because if you didn't keep up the pretence then reality might catch up with you.

So anyway, I'm not hiding behind a keyboard. Please provide the time and the venue and then we'll know whether I am or not for sure, right?

This is easy. It only gets difficult if you refuse to get the ball rolling and keep up the pretence.

Niall_Quinn

18-08-2021, 10:03 PM

Or you could simply say, sorry I barged into your conversation and opened my big mouth on issues that didn't involve me at all. Then I could say, fine, apology accepted. And that would be the end of it.

As it is, I suspect you'll just keep hiding behind your keyboard. The irony.

You post something on a board which anyone can see and reply to.
These aren’t private conversations.
If you want one of those we have a private message function.

I have explained this, but there's no upside for me here.
"Name a time and a place and I'll come and hit you". That's your offer, right? You see how that's not very compelling?
I'll either have a wasted journey or I'll get hit. So...y'know, I'll pass.
If you want me to concede that you are indeed willing to come and hit me then fine, you're a violent idiot. Well done?

So go ahead and tell me how it's ME hiding behind a keyboard. Like you did when you poked your nose in. Yeah, I'm very fucking violent when I need to be, which is super rare these days. And I'm very fucking peaceful when I can be. I'm not the type of queer fuck nothing you are used to dealing with. You should probably take that into account the next time you want to misread a quote from a book that the communist I was addressing understood, but you didn't. Stupid fuck.

TBH, I haven’t logged in as a Mod in I don’t know how long and haven’t a clue what my password is.

I can do some moderation with my normal log in but I think it’s been fairly clear for a long time that this place isn’t moderated.

Well, firstly, I don't cherish esteem. I don't particularly want to be hated either.
And secondly no, I don't know that. Care you name names? This is another one of your MOs, hinting at something but not actually backing it up with anything tangible.
You, meanwhile, have insulted/threatened multiple posters on here, they have had digs back at you. I know introspection is not your forte but doesn't sound like I'm the problem child here.

No. We don't need to name names, do we? We both know already. If one of those individuals wants to speak up then I don't mind.

One poster was rightfully threatened for insulting my family. And that threat still stands with full intent. Another was "threatened" with a reference to a quote which you are too thick to be aware of, so you mounted your white steed and played the prick, as usual. You then accused me of hiding behind my keyboard and so I said, fine, I'm out from behind my keyboard, name the time and place. You ran away claiming a victory based on principles you happily piss on when it comes to civil liberties or freedom.

You are a joke of human being. The problem in the REAL world, even if (as you claim) I am a problem on a mere forum. I know which is worse.

It's more than that, you've threatened me a whole bunch of times, none of which scares me in the slightest but i object to it principle, you're lucky the mods are so tolerant here, you'd be banned from a lot of places for it

Also you conveniently didn't reply to my post which suggested you go to your local one night and talk to people like you do here, i'd still like to see you try it...

Exactly. This is what you do.
You make vague references and claim to know things but when pushed you can’t back it up.
I don’t know who you’re referring to, I suspect you don’t really either.
I can name names for my claim. Mac clearly has a problem with you, Ollie told you to “get fucked” recently, you have made threats against and insulted multiple posters.
Who’s the common denominator here. Isn’t me, is it?
