Do Arsenal only play well when pressure is off?

  1. ...or you could put me on your "ignore" list, and never read any of the many threads that I start (let alone respond to them), and let us normal, intelligent posters engage in all the banter?

    Give it some thought, eh?

    SD if you look at my "likes" history you will see I recently "liked" a very similar suggestion about Hiag and Piskie, so I don't blindly back himad i too get bored with their endless tit for tat - it's like watching women's tennis, lots of grunts but little to show for it.
    they did clam down for a while but perhaps the lack of football and of genuine transfer news is getting to them, and the rest of us as well.

    You don't seem to be able to make a comment without mentioning my name, and yet you try and claim that I'm obsessed.

    As I've said, I simply respond to your failed wum comments by kicking them into touch. You get wound up and then dig yourself into a hole.

    You'd do better not to make them in the first place. If you don't like me slapping you down, then don't bring me into it in the first place <ok>

    Or you both could find some common ground ?
    just agree to disagree about Arsenal and Spurs, and just exchange banter about Liverpool spunking away the £50m Sterling money on dross!
    Or perhaps discuss the merits of how the newly promoted teams will get on, or how big a **** Jose is ?

    can u both try it for an hour even ?

    I'd like nothing better.

    As I've said before, if HIAG tried to talk about football then there wouldn't be any of this rubbish.

  10. Okay, I'll take your post as a genuine attempt to reason this one out, and will respond in kind...

    Firstly, I rarely post with the intention of winding you up (as opposed to winding up Gooners, in general). Yet, you always appear to take what I write as a personal attack on you, and then you respond with personal attacks on me, and encourage others to do the same. Not only is this an utterly inappropriate way for a moderator to act, but it is inappropriate for anyone to act that way. Indeed, it is, now, a criminal offence to act the way you do, online. For that reason alone, you should stop acting that way, immediately; or the owners of this site should stop you acting in that way.

    Secondly, every sane person on this website knows that I am a natural-born piss-taker. Most of my comments are meant as banter, to raise a laugh, or to attempt to make a serious point through the medium of mirth. Most posters respond to this in kind, and I, not only have no problem with them, but we engage in some great banter together. The Chelsea boys brought me back onto their board because they recognised that I wasn't a bad person, just a bit of a joker. However, there are a handful of posters, you the principle among them, who seem determined to take everything I write at face-value and to respond accordingly, using what I say as a justification to hurl insults and invective at me. Even most of the Mousers - who would have, at least, some genuine cause for grief with me - have recognised that all I am doing is having a laugh, causing no individual offence to any particular poster, and engage with me on that basis.

    Thirdly, you do not have a right of censorship over what I post on this board. Please do not presume to police my right to write what I want (within the rules of this site).

    Fourthly, I do not get wound up by your comments, I get frustrated by them. Every time I try to engage in a bit of banter with anyone, you turn up like a bad smell and reduce the thread, at the point of your arrival, to the usual PISKIE/HIAG nonsense. It's as though you are deliberately trying to sabotage my presence on this site, because the only way in which I can respond to the criticism made by certain other posters (that our petty squabbles are ruining it for everyone else) is to not post, at all; and if I do that, you will have succeeded in bullying me off this site.

    Fifthly, you are the one at fault in all of this, PISKIE. If every thread you created I turned up to drag down the vibe into a squalid pool of nonsense, you'd be pissed off, and quite rightly so. That's what it's like for me, when you come along and ruin the threads that I create. Please, stop it.

    If you were any good at wumming, then you wouldn't get wound up by the responses. If you're going to dish it out, then you have to expect to have some thrown back.

    You can't have one-way wumming HIAG, that is just cowardly.

    Like I've said, I'm more than happy to engage with you, or anybody else about football. Give it a try <ok>

    And now he flips the table over. Do you not think HIAG has a point with his post?

    How about addressing the points in the mail? If you are going to ignore what was written, then ignore it. Don't use it as an excuse to repost your tired twaddle about being some kind of anti-wum super hero, cause not many of us buy it.

    He wrote a serious post about your interactions with him, and you ignore every one of them. You are priviledged, I rarely see serious posts from HIAG and yet you carry on regardless.

    I don't need to stir it, it's fecking everywhere.

    Try reading it again then. If somebody wants to wum, then they should expect to have it throw back at them.

    If somebody wants to talk football, then I'm all ears.

  18. I have absolutely no problem with banter, and my posting history shows that I am more than able to take what I dish out.

    But the thing is this, PISKIE, I don't set out to cause any offence to any individual poster, including you. For example, I will make a comment about a player of another team, and you will appear with your usual diatribe of personal insults and abuse. Why must you do that? It's clear that I'm having a bit of harmless fun, making no personal insults, and just trying to lighten the mood. Why do you have to make a personal attack on me?

    We've gone through all of this before. I don't mind engaging in banter - in fact, I welcome it - but I do believe that I have every right to get annoyed when someone continually insults me, and hounds me, the way that you do. It is an utterly inappropriate way in which to behave, and if you cannot see or understand that, then you have a very serious problem.

    As I said before, please do not presume to act as my personal censor. If you don't like what I write, don't respond to it. If I have a personal pop at you, tell me to stop, and I will (but you won't have to do that, because I will never have cause to make a personal attack on you, or anyone else, if you either ignore me, or engage with me in the same terms that I am, quite obviously, seeking people to engage with what I write).

    Stop with the crap about mentioning me in virtually every comment you make and the cringeworthy 'owning' nonsense

    and then we have no problem <ok> Can you do that ?

  20. Go back and check, and you will see that the only reason I have had to make any of those comments is after you have waded onto a thread with your petty personal attacks and insults. Yes, I admit, that I am wrong to respond to your pettiness, and I wish I was stronger and better able to ignore you, but your onslaught is so insistent that I do, eventually, break and have a pop back.

    How about you don't respond to anything I write? That way, I won't ever have any cause to mention you. Can you do that?
