Until you ask him to control a ball when he stops dead so he can pass it out of play

That would actually be more funny then watching Forecast umm try to play.
 
Can't confirm it, but from what I've seen Saints v Ajax apparently is being shown on Channel 5. Looks like everyone is wanting a slice of Saints this pre-season. :)

Decides to sensibly start a new one?! There's no need to start a new one, people weren't stopping actual rumours being posted in the old one, there was just literally nothing going on so it went off topic for a few hours. Hotbovril decided to take a particular moral stand so, in a scream and cry for attention (hence the picture), built his soapbox in the form of a new thread. What purpose was there of making a new thread other than to look down upon a couple of hours of off topic conversation last night and try to assert his superiority over everybody who dares to waver from specific subject matter (of which, last night, there was none)? The rumour thread has not been carried on into this morning except by people who fancy a moan. You can guarantee, like literally every other time this has happened, as soon as a new rumour comes up then it'll go back to being the way it was. This thread is nothing more than an arrogant stand to prove how much more mature he is than everybody else - and clearly by your comment of "the immaturity is shining through", you're choosing to go the same way. I expected better of you than to attempt a slant at my age.

there is no harm harm in going off topic. i read it all everyday. and would rather read their entertaining arguements about politics or having a go at banana then seeing nothing at all.

it is good to have an active board/thread then a dead one. plus all threads go off topic as conversations dont stay in the limits of a 6 word title.

just what i think!

Many of us agree with you but there are a lot who don't - the mods are working on a compromise :)

Sub-forum idea not going down well?


you didn't see the other thread update then obviously........Basically not in the immediate future although it is under discussion.

I'll go into bat for you, I'm very persuasive ;)

On a rumour I saw earlier (to stop going off topic again ;) ) Barnard to someone like Swindon wouldn't surprise or disappoint me. Was good for us in League One but he has no Premier League future. The way we've already given his number away is a sign.

To be frank, it's often not so much a question of whether it goes down well or not, but whether we can get an answer. There are lots of issues on the site which demand the owners time and one board's enquiries may not be at the top of their agenda. In the meantime we have to deal with the situation as it is, not how we might want it to be. That does mean that as the football season is almost upon us we will have to get back to football matters as a rule.

It's not so much the going off topic in its self. As usually it gets straight back on line sooner rather than later...it is when the thread gets hijacked and basically disappears because the original discussion point has been lost.

To be fair, we always get right back on topic on this thread when a new rumour emerges. If you see it's gone off topic, you can probably just go ahead and assume there are no new rumours.

That's pretty hard with transfer rumours, though.

Plus, any time a new rumour comes up you can be sure to wait for the three or four threads asking if anything's happened yet (where inevitably the answer is, we don't know, wait and see)
 
why is nothing happening! soo boring aint it! hopefully something will happen in the morning then... making stuff up is a waste of time and i am sure i would make one up that has already been done e.g Michu - out of interest who would be you guys preferred RM target?

I haven't been able to thing of any suitable ones from this country, so I've been thinking about players who impressed me in Euro 2012. Christian Wilhelmsson was one of them. He has sooo much pace for a player in his 30s.

He's pretty much a busted flush by now
