Doesn't get more official. https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2016/12/oscar-to-depart.html

I'll see it when I believe it. I'll rate him when I watch him play.

Yep, he was pretty much 50/50 staying or being dealt. I watched a short doco about it a while back and Habs fans were really losing patience with Price. There was a hugely controversial decision made by the office on keeping Halak or Price, they went with the later and eventually Price turned from Public Enemy No.1 to the favoured hero of Montreal. Price is now a franchise player, head and shoulders above all the other goaltenders in the NHL. He is so dominant on form, he carries the Habs to the playoffs. It's not like the Habs are a bad team either, they are quite talented but without Price, they wouldn't be anywhere close the playoffs. The Halak vs. Price situation really mirrors Cech vs Courtois in a lot of ways.

This match has barely kept my interest this half.

A Scot that weighs his own turds.

ANELKALOUDA WAS THE ORIGINAL YOU PLEBE

Conversly Matic's form during teh winning season may have been the outlier.

Is he slow?

Proving everyone wrong one game at a time.

It's so refreshing to see a manager come from down in the dumps to this high. As Chelsea fans we don't ever get to see this vindication!

There were people that were ready to sack Conte in the first month. Come now, and enjoy this 'I told you so'.

EVERTON RETIRED

I wouldn't say forced. I don't have to do anything if I don't want to. I don't mind helping people, I'm just over dealing with ne'er do wells. The amount of times I banned didierforever was astounding.

Karma for all the shit that Costa gets away with. Not complaining, when Costa himself should have several reds.

Pointless. There was no hurry to expand the moderator team because I believe at the time Skipper stepped up and it isn't as if there is a hard-cap on how many staff members there are. Even if a new staff member were added I doubt I'd be relieved just due to the fact that it's always nice to have a extra pair of hands ready if necessary. Most stuff I do these days is answering questions people have with troubleshooting.

The moderator application process will stay as is. When the staff decide new member(s) are needed then users can nominate themselves and a democratic vote will be held. Same goes for you.

Are any Scousers even in the Everton squad?

No. It's always been a democratic vote between all the staff from people that have applied. Majority wins.

I always tell people, use the 'block system' but they never do. Just be the bigger person and add them to the 'ignore list' and messes like this would've been avoided.

The fallout for the admin wasn't.

Also I don't recall anyone actually messaging me about any of the decisions I made. I got messages all the time about people breaking the rules but never any feedback, instead it was always posts in threads that never called me out directly but instead were just back hand implications. I respect people being forward and that sadly rarely if ever happened.

The reason I remember Kalou a lot is because an Admin got drunk once during a match thread and called him a 'nigger' when he fluffed a goal chance. Not something I expected.

Do you want the responsibility?

That is because I don't pay attention to most threads and drama anymore. I even tried to step down as an admin months ago but nobody would have it.. Hell, even with all the questionable decisions I made, nobody else changed or nullified them. They could have but they didn't, not that it's their fault. We can trade places if you like, it won't be long before people whinge about you too, it does get tiring, mate, it really kills all enthusiasm always being the villain (sometimes deserved, sometimes not). It's also pretty boring having to reban a person every day, because they make alt accounts, it's also easy for trolls/flamers/spammers to slip through the cracks because I don't read every single thread and post. It's also easy to interpret the rules as black and white and ban someone automatically after three warnings (which is something I would try to adhere). I'm on here very little and post probably less than once a week on average. So It'd be for the best
