In fairness I make a jinx joke on here that I think is an obvious joke. I put up an angry gif or emoji and call someone a mofo if they say something positive about spurs or mock a rival losing before full-time.
I did this with you and you took offence. You have been the only person who has taken offence at it. A couple of other posters said it was a joke and you said you didn't find it funny.
So I simply stopped doing it with you.

Maybe you could do the same in this instance.

Calling someone a motherfucker is infinitely more offensive than someone using alternating caps.

Interesting that my particular ‘crime’ is put under he microscope though.

My point is that it was a joke...you didn't find it funny so I don't do it.

And just for clarification, I didn't call you a motherfucker ... I said mofo...and do it with everyone so it was not aimed at you.

I ain't trying to dig at you BTW...people have different sensibilities and we can accidentally tread on toes so the best thing to do is back off...like I did with you

I do think next season will be extremely interesting. So many clubs are in unchartered territory, coming off the back of either a bizarre or surprisingly positive season.

With Man City, you imagine they are always destined to be fighting at the top of the table with their personnel, coach and infinite resources.
Newcastle will be guaranteed European football one way or another, so you'd imagine they will be competing for a higher calibre of talent with that additional income (not that they really need it anyway) and won't be going away.
Arsenal seem to be heading in a positive direction, but as is often the case nowadays, because the margins for failure are so slim, we need to have a very successful transfer window if we want to sustain our ability to challenge for the top honours. A lot of people believe this is a flash in the pan season, so it's up to us to disprove that theory.
Meanwhile, it's extremely hard to conceptualise Chelsea being as catastrophically bad as they've been this season (even though I'd very much love it to continue). I'm sure they'll be up there battling for the top-4 with a refined squad and a better coach.
Liverpool I think will be competing for a top-4 spot, but again, similarly to us, their ability to compete at a higher level is contingent on any incomings and outgoings this Summer. Let's see what they do. Man United, it's the same, although their takeover situation may scupper any potentially major activity their recruitment team wants. This will determine whether they aim for top-4 again or set their sights higher.
With Spurs, I guess you guys will be in a rebuilding phase starting afresh, but as I've said previously, with the right coach appointed, a set identity and the upper hierarchy supporting how to shape that direction, I don't see why you can't also be in the mix for a top-4 spot. Realistically, top-6 would be the minimum requirement I guess? I'm curious to see how next season goes for you.

Then there's ambitious clubs like Aston Villa and Brighton who will be looking to build on the successful foundations laid out from this year.

We could be experiencing a very competitive division next season.

With any luck man city will be in the 3rd division by then. :bandit:
 
Bad weekend for Millwall.
West Ham win, then they bottle a 3-1 lead and miss out on the play-offs.
I'm sure that the police were looking forward to a potential Luton v Millwall match at Wembley, too.

Another one that thinks the teams in red get all the decisions.

It’s so tiresome reading this false narrative all the time.

Why?
Surely they are entitled to an opinion...and allowed to express it...like you are?
The sometimes you come across intolerant yet complain about others

Maybe just leave others to their "false narratives" and chat to others?
