    Every match thread is the same with people bringing on spurious arguments and derailing the thread.

    If I was RTB I'd not even bother, he keeps asking people to keep to the point on here, the match!

    All we're getting, on thread after thread, is the same batch of 'cut & paste' moans.

    It's always the same and always negative chipping away at the club.

    I've suggested people, who want to post this stuff, start a thread of their own but they don't.

    Hope that works out for you. If you're getting stressed, best to remove the stressor from the situation.

    As it's a match that has no pressure I'd go retro and take a kazoo <laugh>

    Well, the fact you’re denying knowledge of something in a thread you were actively posting at the very time just makes you look like A) an absolute liar or B) an absolute tit. Or you could just conveniently selectively skip comments. You’re a big boy, you know how to use the search tool so get yourself away and toddle off with your tail between your legs :emoticon-0148-yes:

    We went to Norwich in the 80's in the minibus of Dave Fairs, a massive lad and a massive Sunderland fan ...

    ... plenty on here will know him.

    Me Mam ran a Jazz Band, in Mansfield, so had loads of kazoos and I took a couple of dozen.

    We played them all the way there and all the way back ...

    ... it was absolutely insane especially as we were all drunk, including Dave <cheers>

    Apologies, especially to @RTB for derailing the thread, but it's difficult to ignore.

    Back to lurking and awful predictions league posts

    If you're claiming people have said something it's up to you to post it or quote it.

    You could've made exactly the same point without attacking people ...

    ... but that's what you do time after time and that's what you enjoy.

    Total valid point mate, I know there’s a fair few fans on here wanting to rest players too. I think resting them if we play twice in 3 days is fine, or giving them 60 minutes then hooking them again is fine. Just my own opinion that we could also be resting them too much and potentially leaving them open to going out there and pulling something straight away because they’ve barely kicked a ball for weeks. Le Fee has played 700 minutes of football in nearly 3 months here, he really needs some minutes on the park to get some match fitness before the big games for me.

    Every match thread is the same mate, people come on specifically to argue and take the fun out of the thread.

    "I’ve seen a few comments about momentum apparently being a load of ****e"

    Absolutely no need to even say that, you could've just given your opinion without denigrating other people's.

    As I say mate, better for me to just read.

    I'm buzzing for the end of the season, can't wait for Mondays game let alone tomorrow's and probably clouds my judgement as I am a happy clapper.

    Really prefer home games as I don't check the match thread for at least a couple of hours pre and post game

    If you can see this ...

    ... I keep asking why people who want to moan, be negative and pull the club down can't start their own thread.

    They don't, they just cuckoo themselves onto other people's and kick the other chicks out one by one.

    But that’s genuinely just whats been said? People are saying it’s overrated, load of ****e etc and that’s their opinion which is totally fine? And my opinion is that it’s important than others make out. That doesn’t mean I’ve derailed the thread or took the fun out of it because I’ve replied to an active topic of conversation ****ing hell. I’m not having a go at anyone whatsoever so apologies if that’s how it’s came across but it’s not meant like that at all. Anyway I’m off to watch the football and have a beer have a good night <cheers>

    The trouble is that you, and lots of other people, have said the same and, in particular, don't come on after games because of the endless negativity.

    Even RTB has had to ask people not to keep pulling things down but they just ignore him.

    No one said it was a load of shyte, people aren't an intellectually inferior to you as you'd like to think.

    Perhaps you should consider giving your opinion occasionally without having a go at other people's every time.

    Sorry if you say there were only a few changes, perhaps Dad referred to games before the Saints game.
    Would ask him but no direct line to 'upstairs'.
    My memory from the final were the amazing double saves of Jim Montgomery.
