P.S Kirmizi I live with just my Mum and I'm not going to whine about it in a football thread. I'm going to whine about the football! :lol
look, we are not trolling for the sake of it. we need a funny thread so people can come back and relax here. If there is trolling is just a joke and nothing else (do you really think I hate Totenham or Arsenal?).Bootaaay said:If there is ever again to be any serious discussion about football on this forum, it'll be once those of you who have gone to that other place stay gone, rather than coming back and making oh-so-subtle attempts at trolling - we get it, there aren't enough football fanatic, obsessive compulsive, running commentary providing posters here to keep the football thread in a comparable state to that of last season, and with an OP like that it's hard to forsee the situation improving.
