I think the real classy, top of his game wummer, has the ability to create chaos on a board by encouraging the team's own supporters to attack each other, and then quietly bowing out and leaving them to abuse each other.

A good case in point would be a point of strong contention - such as, is Whinger still the the right manager for The Goons?
Nah, that's too obvious.
The best way to do it is to talk positively about something extremely contentious.
Post something about Wenger being Arsenal's best manager and deserving more time or Mike Ashley saving Newcastle from financial ruin.

It's very hard to accuse someone of WUMming when they're talking up a club.

Pretty much the same thing really. As I say, you need something that you know will be a hot topic, a big bone of contention on that board.

On the Gooner board, for instance, there are as many pro Whinger, as against. I think the secret is to be sincere - even though you're not!...:biggrin:

I should add that you need a board where this at least some sign of life. Poor old HIAG has been trying to Wum the Baggies board - but there's nobody there!....

He also did the City board, where there is basically one bloke and he posted on our match thread, anyway.
Can't accuse him of lacking effort though, I guess.
Not that he WUMs, of course...

Of course not, he was just trying to get their opinion on Berahino, and how they felt about Ba refusing to join them...
 
My posts on the Baggies and £ity boards are merely seeds. In time, they will grow.

Patience is the only true virtue in this game, as every Master Stealth-Wum knows.
 
... this afternoon I dropped a rather subtle 'shadow' bomb on the 'Most bitter Pl fans' thread with pleasing results... the less gifted on this thread might perhaps want to bookmark for future reference. :)
 
Sam Allardyce, 60, who became Sunderland's latest manager last week, says he would still like to manage England.

Big Sam has got us all beat!
