I think villa kicks mentioned some behavioural issue he has before. Why not ruffle his hair and humour the man or alternatively  just read on?
The "the meds are wearing off again", "can you say that in English?" comments are getting tedious and I imagine, offensive to him.

Didn't know that, I'll ignore his posts as long as nobody tells him about Off Topic. Damn...

I don't mind him sharing opinions. Its the offended by everyone disagreeing skit that gets my goat.

This is a chap who threatened to report me to the club, with the intention of my being banned from Villa Park, for disagreeing with him when he was posting as Brice Jovial.

I can let things pass by but he really does need to stop being so precious if he wants to stop on a discussion board.

I would love to have listened in to that particular discussion!

I shifted between bemused, irritated, incredulous, feeling guilty and finally refusing to engage further throughout the exchange.

I don't mind reading his posts three times to work out what he's on about, I see it as a challenge. But I wouldn't mind a football bets thread to save wading through that shit. It would keep him busy as well.

It got that daft that even Risso tried to mediate...

Then I drew a line, tried to play nice and inclusive, disagreed with a later point and its was then he told his Mum of me (he didn't do that of course, I posted that for artistic license based on him acting like a big baby).

Unfortunately, he got incredibly angry about the outrage of my throwaway comment about him telling his Mum.


It seems that she had recently passed away, that must be tragic event for anyone and it didn't seem appropriate to argue the point any further. I wound my neck in again and played nicely.

Then he went fucking barking about a non issue later the same day and, after offering some reasons why I disagreed about his views on Darren Bent or some such, bowed out from that particular chat, not wanting to risk Randy's wrath or push a very emotional chap over the edge.

I really couldn't care less about the future of Bale/Suarez/Rooney and very much wish the media would stop bombarding us with the same turgid shite about where they might be going!
The focus on the media darlings/Sky favourites does my nut in too!
Lead article on 5 Live sports bit one day last week was that Vertongen got injured in a friendly...ffs!
...and making the mistake that we all want ManU, ManC, Chelski and the Arse to win all the trophies in the world because they're English clubs!
Twunts!

Back on thread - will ANY of the bomb squad move bfore deadline?

Off on a vaguely related tangent. I have been penning some stuff for the mag for the new season.

I have been enjoying a slight change to my pieces on random teams I hate by writing about why John Terry is a fucking despicable human being. Oh, why I can't stand tennis.

As you were.

I think we need to sell one or two players before bringing in one more and possibly waiting for a certain type of player to be available on transfer market but PL might be waiting for  club X to buy player B from club Y to get Player A from Club X.

It probably be a late signing on last week of August.

I don't think the bomb squad are going to be defused anytime soon unless they all moderate their wage demands and we moderate their transfer values , even then Given and Mr Pink might have to go on frees or be paid off to shift them. Someone earlier described VK as precious - he is, he's my precious, my Gollum!

I recently went and purchased Rosetta Stone DVD's in Punjabi, Korean, Klingon, Wookie, Jive and Scottish to help me decipher VK's posts.

Ah VK is fine other than some oh the crazy names he links.  When someone writes like that I normally suggest they try to add punctuation where they breathe if they read it loud.  The problem is I get the impression that he's already done that.

Every forum needs a bit of harmless crazy and VK does a great job of bringing it on here.
