Same old,same old

Why Red Herrings? Strange.
Anyhow, I am continuing this here as everyone needs to see it. It seems that the vast majority here can repeat an opinion ad nauseam without any backlash, whereas some, ie myself do it apparently and get pulled up for it. You say that they are giving an opinion about the club, and I agree they are, but I am just disagreeing with that opinion. Nothing wrong in that.
It seems a very un level playing field here at times, and as an admin you should try to remain impartial in this instance. It does not set a very good example, and maybe you should re evaluate your position.....just my opinion of course.

TW. Please give it a rest.

Nobody cares what opinions other posters hold within reason. What irritates people is when some, when asked to refrain from doing so, insist upon trotting out the same old lines, time after time after time.

Let's face it, it really can't be much fun annoying people for the sake of it. The vast majority of us fully understand your views upon our transfer dealings. Therefore, there is no requirement for you to keep telling us.

If, as you seem intent on doing, you persist with this nonsense, you will find that suddenly, all your posts will require authorisation, prior to appearing on the forum.

Choice is yours.

Not at all; only that you keep throwing them in. What I happen to 'personally agree or disagree with' on here is irrelevant, yet you oddly seem fixated on believing otherwise.

PM me if you wish to continue this, as this thread has been derailed enough already.

Not being argumentative but where is the evidence of that? And what is "the going rate"?

I like questions like these.

Snip "..... It's all very well being careful not to be taken to the cleaners but Fernandes goes from one extreme to the other and now refuses to pay the going rate, unfortunately good players cost money. ......Snip

In all fairness Stanley, far from derailing it, TW couldn't have kept more "on topic" if he tried, judging by the title of the thread.

Very true mate, just not sure that's what poor old Gee had in mind.

Not really sure how anyone can't be even slightly worried we so many problem areas.

Full/wing backs-We have two left sided players in Yun and Traore, one us still relatively untested even at championship level in Yun, the other Traore is injured every other game and sometimes twice in the same game and like Yun unproven at prem level where he has previously struggled. On the right side we have Simpson and if a system could suite a player less then I have yet to see it. Ok defensively in champ and might get away from it in the prem but going forward is absolutely useless.

Midfield-Thought Barton was excellent last night and will be a big player for us this season but even so we are badely lacking with no pace, physicality or creativity. Henry is average at best and Faulin has two recent serious injuries and struggled for mobility even before those. Neither SWP, Holliet or Phillips can play centrally so we have three wide players who are not only inconsistent but also pretty pointless for the system we intend to play.

Strikers-Cant believe how poor Austin has been in the friendlies, looks unfit and missed several good chances last night when he actually scuffed two chances when under no pressure. Our other striker Zamora, who should never have been given a contract, is surprise surprise injured again as he has been for the majority of his time with us. In fact the only time he hasn't been injured is towards the end of his contract when he needed it renewed !!!!

We not only have a real shortage of players the ones we have look off the pace, with no balance in the squad. It's all very well being careful not to be taken to the cleaners but Fernandes goes from one extreme to the other and now refuses to pay the going rate, unfortunately good players cost money. We are less than two weeks away from the start of the season, we were lucky to get promotion and have been given a reasonable start, as we are those early games will be wasted and we all know how hard it can be when you start poorly.

Liverpool finished top 4 and only really lost 1 player, albeit a good one, yet are looking to sign 9, us on the other hand lost what 15 and have signed 2!!!!

This. Fa cking hell, Ricky. I'm depressed.

Likewise, TW could put everybody else on ignore.

And I quite like TW.

Presumably these red herrings I throw in are things you personally don't agree with.

I could yes, but the ignore facility is not 100% fool proof is it? (never used it so just going on what I've heard).Firstly, apparently you can still see what your ignored poster writes if someone quotes him/her and secondly you can still see that said ignored poster has replied in a thread but it just comes up blank. Is that correct? This is why I never use ignore.
If it was a 100% zap facility, i'd use it all the time probably!

[twranger]

You keep throwing in this "towing the party line" red herring, don't you. Strange.

You keep throwing in this "red herring" line, don't you. Second one this thread. Strange.
Presumably these red herrings I throw in are things you personally don't agree with. That's the only explanation. V odd.

[brightonr]

Surely if you've got a problem with TW just use the ignore function, don't see what the problem is!... There loads of characters on here, some I like some some I don't, but if I had real problem with anyone I'd simply press the ignore button, job done!!!

....is it now against the forum rules to disagree all the time? Don't think so.
So trolling is constant disagreement with the party line is it.....wow!!!!
Can't help it I find it hard to tow the party line all the time.

is this what you want all the time?

Thank you Nick. Exactly so!
