And since you've started posting more and more one-line repetitive rubbish designed purely to annoy others, this thread has deteriorated alarmingly, and it's no fucking coincidence.
Don't see why not.
He hasn't got one, he's just a WUM.

Nah it's fine, traitorous ubercunt Naismith will defy The Great Evertonian Conspiracy and score a 90th minute equaliser.

jovetic has been injured most of the season so i wouldnt call him a flop. negredo was on fire before his shoulder injury, city need to strengthen the cb position though
it's one thing to be an endearing troll or even to have a harmless schtick (avaya/doicare). trolling is fun and then you eat crow at the end of the season when Liverpool turn out to be good.
it's another entirely to just post aggressively stupid garbage post after post after post. it's not amusing, it's not funny, it's just a waste of everyone's fucking time. the big CL matches always bring out the worst posters out of the woodwork though because there's no need for rational human thought, only schadenfruede. I'm sure the world cup threads will be insufferable but I do think it'll all settle down in the summer and once the new season rolls around again, though. it's cyclical.
I don't mind the trolling but the aggressive stupidity is really grating.
hope Yurt comes back. can he reverse his perma if he wanted to come back?

City look shook one
If Everton go for it they will get a result
But will they...

I don't know why anyone responds to hategames. His trolling is more obvious than doicare. He's clearly just some 13 year old kid, the sooner everyone ignores him the sooner he'll disappear.
OK, thanks. Not quite sure how that totally explains your hard-on for Liverpool, but each to their own I guess.
He requested a perma, yeah.

We need a cause to rally around
To remember what we mean all mean to each other
Like cunt-gate

You're right on both counts to some degree.
- Don't target your insults or jokes at GAF members.
- Entities outside of GAF are fair game.
The problem with the question with regards "amount" or "severity" is that it is completely subjective to each and every person. For instance there is a certain amount of banter that flies around in this community thread which is relatively acceptable where people who know each other well will call each other names/crude words. Its very nature means it is not conductive to a harmonious environment within the thread but it's also an intrical part of the community and not something we would want to lose. There's definitely a line here where people need to be careful not to cross.
My point in my earlier post is that as the level of trolling and/or banter has gradually increased in this thread over the past couple of years, and has ignited over the past few weeks in particular as tensions are raised as matches have become more meaningful, this community has become filled with some utterly loathsome and persistent attempts of trolling, goading or baiting. It's not conductive to good discussion or attracting new members to take part.
The World Cup is right around the corner. People who don't normally follow the sport are interested for four weeks. Imagine these same people wanting to follow the game coming in to this thread afterwards and seeing the level of vitriol and just rancid trolling which this thread has become accustomed to as of late. They wont want any part of it. We need to take a long look at ourselves and what we want this community to mean and be to each other.

We need United to become great again so everyone can go back to despising us.
Having ABU hate at the core of this thread is what held it together.

oh so having a different opinion = trolling now? kun is better than suarez, thats a fact
This is my new favourite image. Did the people who commissioned this piece do it with a straight face?
Is that Bill Oddie?
Must be extremely nerve-wracking for those directly affected by the result.

I would rather have Aguero too tbh.
But I am biased and have morals (that's the troll)

Woy Hedgehog will unite us

Salva's right, we do need some new people who aren't purely antagonistic and post purely to rile people up.
We are all human, we will see these wum posts and in a rush of blood respond to them.

Gonna be interesting to see what City do in these last 10.
Do they sit back? It would make sense I guess but I really don't know if they are strong enough at the back to rely on that.
Edit - Dzeko lol what are you doing mate
