2023 Summer transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

[Drummond]

Again, I feel like the context I used it in made it clear who I was talking about.

It's not about that.  You're really not getting this are you?

What's not to get?

Two people decided to get pedantic about a post I made despite the fact it was very obvious who I was talking about. The thread has since been derailed for about 2 pages by rants about fighting the power.

I understand the wider context you're all so bent out of shape about, but it doesn't apply here, and that's why I've pointed out, 3 times now, that the outrage, vitriol, anger, whatever is misplaced and in this case you're choosing to get annoyed about it.

It was obvious who you were talking about. And that's the problem, it shouldn't be. It absolutely does apply here, and everywhere else it happens, except, perhaps in Manchester.

I get annoyed by it whenever it happens, because it shouldn't happen.

*slowly shakes head*

You still don't get it.

If we're not doing exactly what you said we're doing above, what on earth would we talk about.

If you think this is bad, you should have been around when Villadawg was here and we'd have 20 page rucks about Spurs' wage bill.

This very site, extremely recently, was the scene of a multi-page argument over whether "Villa" is singular or plural.

In the world of Villa forums, VillaTalk = younger posters, more discussion of football, very meme heavy.

H&V = basically a bunch of almost exclusively left wing forty somethings arguing over the most unimportant things ever and taking absolutely every single opportunity to be pedantic.

So am I, sadly, but you know what I mean.

[Risso]

I'll have you know I'm neither left wing (happily!) or forty something (sadly!).

But yes, if meandering off topic isn't for you, then VT is probably the place, where even mentioning a player different to the one the topic is about leads to threats of deletions, bans and red text everywhere.

[Smirker]

I prefer this place and the more mature gents who post here.

VT was a bit weird for me.

[Sexual Ealing]

WhileI fall squarely into the demographic you describe, Paulie, you’re going to have Ads and Monty right on your back. For two reasons!

Excuse me, I only take approximately 99.9% of opportunities to be pedantic, thankyou.

Oh I do, but given the very last line of your post, I couldn't resist.

Kevin Spacey would have loved you.

[Drummond]

Maybe we should have a poll.....Heads to Off-Topic....

[Dogtanian]

VillaTalk wouldn't let me join.

[Brazilian Villain]

I am Spartacus.

We'll take any old riff-raff here.
