Another negative post

How is it negative? It's a fact. Everyone gets on with each other in the FL thread, everyone argues outside of the FL thread. Why does that make the ones who get on 'adore each other'?

it was just the use of how shit which made it negative....

That's because of the Lower league threads I'm sure, they seem to adore each other.

Getting on with each other is now adoring each other? That shows how shit the community outside of the FL thread is.

Just showed how much you adore that thread right there. Don't really care about that thread, however good it may be. Only care about big teams you see.

I watch WWE every Monday at 2am, that doesn't make me the most loyal WWE fan though.

I never said I was the most loyal

I said I was fairly loyal

Did Zzonked just delete the voting thread on accident?

Edit:

No he never

To me loyalty suggests following the team, and I don't know anyone on here who supports a premiership team home and away yet there are several fans of 'shit' lower league teams who do so are therefore more loyal. That's the way I interpret it anyway.

I support a premier league team home and I've been away once this season (twice if you count the CS).

No.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean people adore each other just because they get on and can have a proper debate in there. Have you seen the match threads? It just turns into the flame threads with the most constructive posters (me) getting ignored when I actually talk about the game and not react to the trolls.

I challenge anyone to tell me the football league thread isn't the best thread on the forum.

Even as a Championship supporter, I feel like a gloryhunter when speaking to guys like Radford and Ced. I couldn't imagine what it would be like supporting a team that get 2k attendances and about 100 people in their away following. I feel like that and i'm a Season Ticket holder at Forest and get to a few away games.

In my opinion the Rosie Jones thread is probably the best on the forum

Fine, it isn't the best thread on the forum.

I don't think for one second that someone's more loyal because they can afford a £50 season ticket for a league 2 team. I'm pretty sure it would be in most peoples best interests to invest £2000 for something other than going to the game

You, Dean and Moorzy are the ones I could think of off the top of my head. I'm sure Mal goes to a few games too but only away ones.

Out of interest, can you guys tell me what you think makes a thread the best?

I think Dean goes to lots of games, home and away, I'm not complaining, just an observation.

Ive been to CS game, Spurs game, Sunderland game and Bolton away... but I support United so I really watched them from my armchair

James wrote:Out of interest, can you guys tell me what you think makes a thread the best?

People having a proper discussion in it, which seems impossible on this forum so I don't even bother and tend just to troll all the time.

Proper discussion and no arguing or baiting.. e.g WWE thread

Exactly. The only thread that has that is the football league thread (which you've probably not been in before).

Was your irrational criticism of RVP, constructive? I'm also fairly certain you weighed in with an abysmal comment or two about Hillsborough during that RR's great emergence. Not as good as you would like to make yourself out to be.

Yeah but you don't think entertainment exists below the PL so I'm not really bothered what your idea of loyalty is.

Depends on the section.

In football, then i think the football league thread is spot on. All of us are just a normal bunch of young fans, chat about the games we attend home and away, and just general chit chat you'd expect to have with mates at the ground or before a game in a pub or summat. I prefer it to club forums too cos everyone is dead serious on those. the Banter page on facebook is ok, its just funny to abuse the retards on there though.

In general discussion i'd say a good debate is the best type of thread.

Yeah agreed. It takes a lot more work to support a team like that.

My criticism of RVP was pretty fair. See, the thing everyone missed was I criticised him playing up front. No one bothered to ask me how I felt about him playing in a different position.

Also, I have made 1 comment about Hillsborough which is my opinion. Nothing disrespectful, I just think certain people should take a little more blame for it.

And before you complain, no I am not disrespectful. I think alcohol should be banned from every football game, if not every sporting event. If there was no alcohol, Hillsborough would not have happened.

I thought RR hated me enough to vote for me, I am dissapoint.

RR loves me but he also said I was boring

Eternal you can be my worst troll.

You were one of the people I wished I could have had 2 votes for.

Voting only in the other thread guys

I forgot "ratings aren't final" gag.. HOF worthy.

Why are you putting words into my mouth?

Out of interest Zzonk, why was I voted most constructive by you? I actually never expected that from anyone.
