Actually, he/she/it are not who/what I originally thought they were.

 

They might be a genuine new poster.

 

Mr Sprout,

 

I admitted I'd made a mistake, let it drop.

we sold anelka for ?15m. so we have spent ?15m.

 

everton spent ?15m on the hairbearbunch bloke.

 

 

Everton sold players too, Andy Johnson brought in 10.5 million for a start, just saying,

Evertons transfer dealing seem to have been more impressive than ours, thats why they

have been more successful, i see you megsonites are bullying a new poster who dares to have a different point

of view than your own

Thanks colditz. Not sure that this forum is what Im looking for. Recently retired, bit of time on my hands, thought it might be good to chat with a few wanderers fans without having to watch the slightest thing I post.

 

I agree with much that goes on at the club- free travel, fanzone , other things such as the quality of football do bother me. From what Ive seen here, you arent supposed to have an opinion. Well just how boring is that when everyone agrees. Looking at some other non BWFC topics seems half the BNP on here with openly racist attitudes which is not anything I want to read.

That's a bit harsh. I can assure you I am not the BNP's target market.

Well you certainly know how to make a good impression ,Russell ! :o

Wasnt trying to make an impression. Just commenting on the racist nature of some posts. Not my cup of tea.

 

Equally, making an opening statement that Megson is out of the door at the end of the season no matter what, is not everyones cup of tea either. That is why you had a few posters coming back with their opinion.

You then replied having another dig at Megson and a poster on here who supports the manager, came back with a reply.

 

I call that an open and honest debate.

 

 

The gentle banter regards you being a new poster, is something every new member gets on here. Some sites have a nice 'welcome to new members corner' where you can all kiss, hug and be happy. WW doesn't do that.

So if its kisses, hugs and a big welcome banner you want from a BWFC fans forum - then, as you say, this aint the place for you.

 

 

As for the racist nature of some posts, the mods are normally on this type of stuff very quickly. Maybe you can report the material that is causing offence to one of the mods - I believe you have already had a dig at one of them :pardon:

Is that a really wise thing to do though?

 

Each to his own that's what i say , if you don't like them just don't read them.

Yatesy, do you mean this at the top of the banter page?

Behind the stands rules

Say 'No' to racism, it will not be tolerated.

 

But let's not let this get in the way of Russell thinking we're all Neanderthals.

Yatesy, I think youre right, perhaps this isnt the place for me. Apologies ladies and gents for any offence, perhaps I just gate crashed the wrong party.

 

Might give 606 a try- now that is desperate!

 

For those of you not interested-

 

Current favourite player Super Kev

 

Favourite Managers Bill Ridding, Bruce and Sam

 

Favourite games Reading and Preston play offs. The relief at the end.

 

All time favourite players Eddie Hopkinson, Sir Nat, Wyn Davies, Freddie Hill, Johnny B, Franny Lee

Franky W, Gudni, Eidur, Per, JJ, Youri, Super John, Ivan

 

 

Thank you for putting up with a sentimental old fool. Might see you at Chelsea.

we sold anelka for ???15m. so we have spent ???15m.

 

everton spent ???15m on the hairbearbunch bloke.

 

He was ?3 Million, not ?15 million.

 

We have spent less than ?10 million in 12 months....and Sold AJ for ?10 million.

 

We are lead to beleive we are skint.

where do you get that gem

 

its widely reported as being upwards of 10

 

 

also, the comparison between us and everton is ludicrous

 

we're as far away in size, pulling power from everton as they are from liverpool

 

last two players we 'competed' for

 

jagielka and joghnson

 

strangely, we came a poor second on both counts

Posted

and lets look at net spend over the last 6 years not the last 6 months

 

allardyce for all his good points left us witha squad on its last legs

 

everton have been consistently building for years and years

Fellaini is costing ?3 Million a season, over his 5 year Contract = ?15 Million.

 

Thats why we didnt get Moutinho, Porto wanted ?15 Million upfront.

 

 

Im not comparing the 2, no point.

Thats how football should be done and how it works best but why bother with that when we can sack the guy doing the building and start again?

I live in Birmingham now but still hold season ticket and attend many away games.

 

Good work

 

I think you should continue posting on here, and as a goodwill gesture, provide me with free transportation to all remaining games of the season :drinks:

I just don't get a comment like that. Utter drivel. Sad that freedom of thought and speech have been suppressed to such an extent up there that dullards like you shout 'racist' at the least thing.

 

Everyone new on here gets it. It is a measure of the poster if he can handle it; hold his own and become a regular. They call me Skippy tha knows. I'm still here but I threw my boomerang out of the pram.

 

I just don't get how someone can equate that relatively gentle p1ss taking as 'racist attitudes'. Get a life FFS.

 

Really sad looking back at the UK and seeing every single thing labelled 'racism'. Wholesome pastimes like religious bigotry are even getting that label now :roll:

 

Have a nice life on 606. They don't correct your spelling on there.

Don't give up on the site Russell, there are a few on here who seem to delight in vetting new members, however, that will settle down, no need to rise to the bait, we need a wider range of poster opinions. You sound like a good and true white, that is good enough for me, welcome aboard.

The original thought was that you are an established poster opening a new account to have some fun under a different alias - it has been known. By the way, do you know Natasha?

Regards bolty58 - he got dispatched to Australia on one of the last prisoner boats. Needing to start a fresh down under, it was recommened that all survivors of the trip thought of a new name. Not being the brightest, he struggled to come up with an alternative and so, looking at the replica sports top he was wearing - came up with "bolty58". So just be careful, as some on here actually use their real names!

 

Don't think that one went through to the keeper Yatesy. You'll keep :D

Now then, if he's a goner at the end of this season, why would you think Gartside did something about his contract recently?

 

Now I don't understand the logic of this but at the Stoke game I heard Tony Kelly talking to someone and it is his opinion that now Megson has signed a contract, Bolton will find it easier to sack him. Apparently a manager has to have a contract and if he doesn't it costs more to sack him. Like I say I don't understand this. Also the contract Megson has signed is not a new one but the original one offered on his appointment.

Nor mine either.

 

However, we do try and advocate some freedom of expression.

It's a difficult job knowing where the line should be drawn and spotting it being crossed.

 

But myself and the rest of the admin team do look out for it and act as appropriate.

 

I think if you stuck around, you'd like it here. If the banter section's not your cup of tea: stick to the football bit and maybe the gambling section.
