You could always say "This is SO much nicer than Upton Park - that place was SO-O noisy!""

It's been said before but unless one brackets with txtese, or ejaculates emoticons over the screen, misunderstandings of posts are bound to occur as happened in the 'bob' exchange*. It can be a pain having to spell things out afterwards to avoid a snarl-fest and a grudging acceptance of the explanation by the 'aggrieved' (implying they're not 100% convinced) might leave one thinking 'why do I fecking bother?' This may lead to an epiphany of the "it's all bollocks" kind; with the forumite carrying on regardless, serene in the knowledge that it IS all bollocks and so doesn't matter. Alternatively the revelation is that it is all bollocks and so totally pointless which ends in a retreat or sabbatical or flounce or attempt to quit cold-turkey. So I suppose it depends which side of the bed you get up. *Not the *Bob* exchange (to avoid misunderstandi- ....)

What about PD or RC or ?s? Be nice to have another Iron in the fire but happy to take on a Gooner too.

I suspect dirty pool and that he has been bound, gagged and locked in the quiet room - distinct whiff of Bhaji when I passed by earlier...

Except Carroll is a bit of a Lennie to Nolan's George; just needs a new BFF.

More worryingly - if press rumours are to be believed - he's trying to ship Noble out (for Fletcher) and keep Nolan. Un-be-f-ing-lievable. All part of his plan to get rid of any players that aren't his and keep his glee club so he can say (when asked why he's gone all long ball again) 'I have to play a system that works for the players I have'. ETA - looks like Song is being trained to stay back and pump long balls forward for Valencia and Carroll too - he won't stay to play like that.

'Twas nowt more than two-blokes-bumping-into-each-other-in-a-pub-type spat Jah and was ages since. And yes, AM and I are 'over it' and are going shopping today for a two-person onesie to watch Bargain Hunt in.

Bloody hell! What the Feck!? Okay - your apparent paranoia aside I'll explain my infantile approach - (And I must say en passant that I have had 'words' about BFS with RD and others and had forgotten we'd had a row tbh - ask AC - in 'her' new incarnation - about the row we had about smoking nearly 3 years back - it's all water under the bridge dear boy - and anyway surely you know that any and all conversations or rows re football can be unreasonable, passionate, harshly-expressed and volatile - I am not aware that any kind of grudge has ever resulted here though. Christ I've had much harsher run-ins with PD anf JL but have still managed to exchange views and even agree (sometimes) with one or both of them). When I first joined back in 2011 I 'jousted' with you and Frankito (remember him) and thought you were always up for a bit of badinage and/or gentle piss-taking. I called you 'doc' for similar reasons even though I knew your forum moniker was an anagram that referred to your nom-de-realit? rather than an indication of your profession (Jesus this is fickin exhausting) - it was a little bit of 'fun'. So - to this thread. I read Snork- HUnca- Ernesto's OP and thought about all the posts on here about people missing stuff from the past (eg Foresters). When you posted I was unsure whether you meant 'did you miss something that would have prompted such a thread' or a kind of "I've just got here - so did I miss anything (this last because there were some deleted/edited posts by Ernesto and maybe they'd been controversial - I don't know as I 'missed' them). Either way i decided to make a VERY weak joke - correcting you along the lines of "No - the question the OP asked was DO you miss anything (about ED in the past) ." You asked 'Like what?' and I thought you had missed my weak, weak joke's intent and so posted 'i think you're missing something' another pathetic play on the word 'miss' with a weak double meaning as in 'I think you miss a, b or c" or "I think you're missing the point of the thread" Loz's post brought us full circle so I explained myself - or so I thought. So there it is. I'm sorry if you've been harbouring these feelings about me for all this time. I'm only here for a laugh and although I may get annoyed/passionate even angry sometimes nothing has ever been done with any malice. I'm tempted to say I won't ever take the piss out of you ever again - but I'm afraid I have piss-taker's-tourettes so can't promise anything. ETA - no - 'do you miss anything' wasn't the op's point I know but just the general gist of things as was developed by the next posts about Foresters- this may be where the confusion lies second edit to add - I latched on to the 'backward looking regarders' thing and now blame Steveo for the whole episode.

Yes Loz. I know. I was missing messing.

Spurs I suppose (swayed by familial considerations as one of my Bros is a Spurs fan). Chelsea will probably win though (if Costa isn't banned).

Interesting social experiment my arse - lazy voyeuristic fodder. I suppose you think Benefit Street was an interesting social document and Come Dine With me an in depth treatise on what a nation eats and how it relates over the pasta? And RosieH? I'd rather they did something worth watching and not this shite. Just an opinion though however much it pisses some people off.

It's based purely on a dozen or so people/groups of people I know Loz not on something written down or on what rents were asked and are asked on this forum -just what was paid then and is paid now by them. If anything it's got worse over the last few years. 5 years ago there were plenty of places for 1100 or so even though advwertised rents may have been 1300 upwards - a lot of these are now 14+ and the lowwer rents have disappeared.

I don't want to hijack this thread either but are there ANY lazy-arsed tv researchers out there who DON'T just post on a fecking forum to trawl for gullible victims for their latest gorm-fest?
