Finishing Below Tottenham

The problem with many threads on this forum is once the usual suspects comment on it, it goes off on a stupid childish tangent with lots of posts that many people don't get and so lose interest in.

Nothing worse than seeing a thread over multiple pages and the majority of posts are personal/private jokes between 2 or 3, it happens far too much. I get it that people are mates, it was like that on 606 too, but at least they didn't take up the majority of threads.
 
This is the kinda thing I was talking about yesterday PISKIE. Sometimes you guys can be funny, other times it just detracts a bit from the debate, and makes the place seem a bit cliquey in a kind of "us and them" way. Worries me a bit it might put off new people from joining the forum if they think an outlandish view won't be debated, just dismissed as the ramblings of a drunk with some occassionally personal insults.
Jayram and i were taking the piss out of each other regarding being pissed.It was all a bit of banter and i believe Jayram like myself took it that way
