I think whether we are relegated or not this summer is a tipping point. Whether Lerner stays in charge or he leaves, there has to be a change in thinking or the club will implode.

You will never pass their entrance exam, you can't possibly be ITK.

I have been on TBAR, it seems ok so I will most likely continue to check in on it most days and post as and when I feel the urge; much like I do on here. No reason why the sites can't coexist if all involved can avoid petty sniping and insults.

Regarding people who claim ITK, I have no reason to disbelieve people who say they have been given information but may I be the first to officially claim DKS (don't know shit) status. I have no media contacts and don't know anyone who works at the club.
Anyone else want to join me in this privileged position?

The reason I like this place is because irrespective of differences on personality and opinion you can be yourself and say what you need to say. Does that make you enemies on occasion, for sure. I find TBAR very fake and false and built on sand. The whole premise of loving each other because of this new found independence cannot be maintained. Especially when you consider one of the binders being their members and supposed ITK's. When those myths are shattered as ultimately they have been then new members who might have joined for that reason aren't going to hang around. What will be left are those disenchanted with other places. It forms a very unique club and one where they won't tolerate views and perspectives different from theirs. That's their achilles heel.
You mean just like the "inner clique" on this forum?

Utter rubbish. We welcome differences of opinion, reasoned debate and do not censor or delete posts simply because they are not in agreement.

olly, you have some very strong views on the FA Cup, yet no mod ever deleted any one of your posts did they? Had you the same kind of views on TBAR do you think they'd have been tolerated in the same manner?

This site is my favourite. I have no urge to go on TBAR and I don't like VT (got banned even though I didn't break any rules).

Whenever somebody mentions cliques on H&V, for some reason I always think of that Viz cartoon, 'The Real Ale Twats'.
