New to not606, and still confused on one thing

    OK I have tried to pick up how things work here, mostly its fine, I can still come last in a PSD contest like the good old days (I still think he fiddles the spreadsheets) and in contrast to ja606 somehow the debates here are assertive without being "handbags at dawn" (well, usually, anyway).

    But I need help on one thing. This practice of forming joint boards, for two clubs, really confuses me.

    My questions are:
    - who decided it would be a joint Leeds and Millwall board?
    - for the Millwall members, don't you mind its just called "Leeds"? OK, I know by practice we all know its a joint board, but if it were the other way round I'd have wanted my teams name in the title.
    - I noticed there is another board, called the Millwall board, that no one uses. Whats the point in that, and why is there no separate Leeds only board?
    - do other clubs have joint boards, or is this a Leeds/Millwall special?
    - or, have I really misunderstood, and are these lovely larnden boys really Leeds fans who just happen to have live darn sarf and happen to have chosen names that make them sound a bit like Millwall fans? Or maybe Millwall are their second team?

    Let me know, I can be a bit slow, and this one is still confusing me after several weeks.

    I've heard they're putting a rider into their song now:

    "No-one likes us (except Leeds fans) we don't care" ;)

    Don't get me wrong, I like having them here, if Millwall is their second team I am prepared to be broadminded.

    Welcome 2020.

    Your prowess at my games is noted and despite your reference to my dear old spreadsheet being fiddled I still remain useless at my own games. I must practice a bit more o make my "fiddling" a bit more acurate in my direction.

    As for the confusing boards. I think joint boards are simple the fact that when you create a thread you can attach the thread to another board (up to 3 I think) So Millwall fans vist the Leeds UNITED board for a bit of banter and really to keep up with the news. Some great posters contribute to the debates on not606, and as you say JA606 does get a bit personal at times.

    Anyway, enjoy the set up and lets see if you can improve on your noted dismal performance of late in the games department. <cheers>

    The lore of the statto - inability to perceive underhand humour.

    I used to be like that.

    Come on PenDave, pick it up man!

    Hello 2020 <ok>

    I won't answer all your questions but simply say instead that the reason we spend so much time on your board is to have a laugh something which escapes some of your fans <laugh> as unless you've lived on the moon for the past few seasons we've built up good banter between us going back to our League 1 days and coming up together so its continued. <doh>

    <ok>

    As I am sure you know, ClosetLeedsSteve, I can answer the questions myself. :emoticon-0105-wink: Always had good banter with Millwall fans (*), so great to see you in force on not606. And I think most of us can understand why the Leeds board amuses and attracts you.



    (*) the ones that are physically capable of speech, anyway



    To Elmo, leave PSD alone, if you change him he won't do those (fiddled) spread sheets I love.

    to PSD, just looked at the table - I see what you mean. That must be you helping the new boy out with a bit of positive fiddling.

    A businessman boards a flight and is lucky enough to be seated next to a gorgeous woman. They exchange brief hello's and he notices she is reading a manual about sexual statistics. He asks her about it and she replies, "This is a very interesting book about sexual statistics. It identifies that American Indians have the longest average penis and Jewish men have the biggest average diameter. By the way, my name is Jill. What's yours?" He coolly replies, "Running-Bear Goldberg, nice to meet you."



    I have always been told that old statisticians do not fade away,
    but rather are "broken down by age and sex".


    Did you hear about the Statistician that couldn't get laid? He decided a simulation was good enough.
    She was only the statistician's daughter, but she knew all the standard deviations."

    The Wall lads are sound, great banter and a right good laugh. Just to mix it up a bit how about posting all new Leeds United threads on the Millwall board? At least for a week. It'll confuse the other clubs if nothing else ;)

    Wall lads are ace, banter is always good and respectful, they never get silly like some Leicester and Swansea. ****, Swansea larging it? Millwall are a bigger club than Swansea. Running-Bear Goldberg missed the humour first time, but at least came back with a smiler for us.

    There used to be loads of joint threads, but since those got taken away the 'Wall lads have had nothing to do on their quiet wee board bless 'em.
