    Summer transfer window 2024

    Would guess it would be a Binks style loan with a view. Would be happy with him as back up/successor to MvE.

    You go out for the day and all hell breaks loose

    Personally both on here and IRL I’ve found it more productive to assume people aren’t some online cartoon figure that need chastising or exorcising from polite society and engage on their terms. Someone once said take Trump seriously but not literally and that makes sense to me. The exact words...

    Loss and a meltdown. Wouldn’t be a new season without it.

    You go out for the day and all hell breaks loose

    I don’t want anyone banned and I’d start with DoD if anyone. Grendel at least has something in his “valuable poster” column. Those three are the only people I’ve got on mute on here and that’s good enough for me. I just don’t see why this has to be some prisoner exchange program. Boosh would be...

    Like Grendel and DoD he ruins actual threads on the actual football side with constant attempts to wind people up about nothing and endless personal vendettas that should at best take place in DMs. It genuinely ruins the forum experience and stops it functioning as a forum.

    You go out for the day and all hell breaks loose

    Ive not seen what’s posted today, so can’t really comment. But generally I disagree. Trolls like Grendel and Boosh who only post to disrupt threads and wind people up are far more disruptive than a racist generally when running a forum. I’m not sure what some kind of ranking helps anyway. Do we...

    They don’t do a) though do they? They’re just a shit version of Grendel with half the brains and none of the charisma.

    You go out for the day and all hell breaks loose

    I’ll be honest here. I like Off Topic because this place is a melting pot of people not drawn from a particular ideology and that’s super rare to find. Does it mean you see things you might not be comfortable with? Obviously. Does Nick generally figure stuff out OK as mod? Yeah I think so. Like...

    I was not and it was not, well the water taxi was a bit like Liverpool I guess. And the graffiti and fly posting a bit like Rome (and every other European city)

    You go out for the day and all hell breaks loose

    What the fuck has happened here today? I’ve been out for a nice walk around Rotterdam all day and done a couple of good deeds, and have come back to all the threads locked with a message from Nick telling me to go out have a nice walk and do good deeds.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That’s up to the private sector. Not sure it’s a reason to decimate public services. Worry all you like but this is just basic economic forces in action. The government alternative was to continue paying through the nose in recruitment and supply costs because there’s a shortage of staff. Same...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The Tories got high on their own supply and genuinely thought public sector pay cuts was a permanent solution to overspending. The last decade has been paid for by cutting public sector workers pay, that was a debt ran up that needed to be paid. Like the prison places. Like infrastructure...

    Be honest, if in L1 we’d said one player would still be playing regularly for us as we pushed for autos, none of you would have said it would be Allen.

    If we are starting Jamie Allen I don’t see how anyone can argue we’re not desperately short of midfielders.

    Im not a fan, but this base level of competence it what you get from any Labour chancellor as they aren’t beholden to mental ideology.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I do believe your prediction was they wouldn’t repeal anything. Agreed a good start.
