Christ. Tottenham are definitely going to break into the top 4 this season, they've made some very good signings this season!

If they do, I think it will be at the expense of united, and not Arsenal

How is it pathetic?

It's about time we have a good argument on this forum, things are becoming stale, and there was actually some good points, no one insulted anyone.

What's even the point in a forum if no one can even have an argument or a disagreement? There is nothing wrong with people being opinionated and there is certainly nothing wrong when there expressing there opinion and not insulting whilst there at it. If you're going to pick out that they are childish for saying things like manure then you're the silly the one for getting so annoyed about it.

This.

wait so people are saying that there is nothing wrong with being opinionated and to express your opinions to a guy whose opinion was that a recent argument was pathetic? oh the irony

this thread is hilarious, love it

And I'm getting annoyed?! LOL I have far more important things to think about than getting annoyed over such trivial matters. And really, yes Nish has his own opinion about Man Utd and he made it known but to keep going on and on and on about it is absolutely nonsensical when he's just going around the bush and saying the same things. In fact, 2 decent members, even though they are different club supporters, have probably been chased away from this forum for no good reason.

That's certainly not a good example set by an admin. Cos from what I know, forums are all about discussion. If you don't like them. Kindly, don't read them.

Oh yes and here's the rest.

Me setting a bad example as an admin?! LOL! Don't know whether I should cry or laugh at that statement. Obviously forum is all about discussion and we all welcome that but as I said, the part where it gets nonsense when you keep on repeating the same old thing about your hatred towards Man United over and over again without really contributing any meaningful to this so called 'discussion' you are talking about.

[Barbara 15,149]

what, did and JayC leave?

But I like them so much!

And I agree that at this point is not even about making a point about ManUtd luck, corruption, quality or whatever. It's just the repetition of something that has been said too many like a broken record...

Good thing there's football tomorrow, people! Then all those discussions will end and we'll laugh at ManUtd's expense together as I think they'll struggle a bit in the beginning if their manager is already moaning about fixtures - although in the same breath he admits that it's the same for everyone because at the end of the day you play everybody away and home

Can he decide if it's suspicious/unfair or indifferent?

what games are you guys watching in addition to Chelsea? I'm one of those people that watch all matches they actually broadcast and as in Brazil we have two channels (Fox and ESPN) covering EPL every week we have Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and both Manchester team matches and if I'm not wrong Spurs too (if not they show the great majority of it). All of them, every week (even if they're at the same time, because the channels take turns so one week for example ESPN shows CFC, Arse, Liv while Fox shows ManU, ManC and Spurs)

As tomorrow is my last holiday day with bf and mom, I won't watch footie, but I'll watch both Sunday matches and probably ManC on Monday too.

I would like your post, but Peace already beat me to it.

The discussion was actually pretty good, it was entertaining, it's not like it was getting out of hand. About time we have a good argument on this forum without someone getting banned or suspended.

Good argument? Tell me you're just trolling Kojo..

[Kojo 4,676]

How many people have been banned this year? about 200, some for no reason at all.

I actually understand where Terminator X was coming from now those months back, it's silly how you can't even have an argument these days without getting a slap round the wrists. I understand no name calling, but the standards are so high now that almost anything is offensive to anybody. I just don't get the point in it and It's ruined a lot of discussions.

No I'm not trolling.

Let's not overexaggerate things here. Those members that got banned were banned for good reasons. In fact, we even tried to give some leeway at times and pretend nothing happen. We gave them chances to still be around but if they still can't control themselves and go over the line, then that's too bad for them.

Nothing wrong with having arguments and there's definitely no escaping that sometimes we'll get trivial or nonsensical arguments going about. And please, don't make it sound like the staffs here are all dictators and get picky very easily. We allow that sometimes but if it gets out of hand, then no doubt we'll do what is necessary depending on the situation. In THAT 'argument' earlier, there was nothing offensive or insulting about this, just the silly repetition of the same things being said for 7 pages(!) and it had probably chased 2 members off. Also, if you actually noticed, when I commented on that 'argument' earlier, it had already stopped for some time before I supposedly came in to ruin it...

I never said you ruined it, I know it stopped, I just told you there is nothing wrong with it.

But you need to get this out of your head that it's chasing members away. People aren't as snobby as you think, if anything it attracts members, people love to see that action, cars exploding, guns blazing, ninjas, and all that chuck norris stuff... Just kidding but yeah. I thought the likes of Rupert was banned unfairly, when even though he was stuck up rafas and Torres's arse, he never once broke the rules, he never derailed, he never insulted, he always stuck to the rules.

And fair enough I don't expect you to reply now, but I just want to get that message out, as I think we need to just calm down a bit more and just let the fights begin.

Not all arguments chase people off but it's these petty and trivial ones with repetitive bickering hatred that may. And the rest above is just ...
