That 'one day' line really didn't do him any favours. I watched him say that and thought 'No Sean, you haven't just said that after a 3 week break...'

That wouldn't be difficult. And I really hope/think you are. I don't understand why you have to have a different persona on the forum? Why not just be the 20x nicer version? Rather than the version that acts as you do? I think you're alienating people that have been 'with you' on here for years. You've always been bullish with your opinion, sound. But I can't remember you always being so aggressive with it? I can't remember you always calling people this and that. I always thought you stood against things like that. Now, the forum persona will probably call me this n that. But if the 20x nicer version exists, he'll take it in the context that it's intended. Like many of you guys, I've been on this forum for years. I had a previous account (possibly just Newty...didn't use it for ages then couldn't remember my details when I came back, so creatively renamed myself ). I also had a forum persona for too long. Those long running battles with MC. I was also more argumentative than I am in 'real life'. It wasn't me. I was likely frustrated in work, and used this as a kind of outlet. Hence, I pulled away for ages. Now, whenever I feel I'm going to revert back to that persona, I go away again. Like I did recently reading this thread. When I feel that little fire burning, nah, fuck it. I'm out for a bit. That's my fault by the way. No one else's. Plus, to be honest, I simply don't have the time to waste on here arguing over opinions . Life's too short to be spending so long in such argumentative discussions that go round in circles. So, yeah, if you're genuinely a decent bloke, then just be the 20x version .

Fuck sake. This is us for the last...however many seasons. Can't score. Now we're back to shooting ourselves in the foot. Even the 'but we've had 6 points taken off' is disappearing because it literally only puts us 2 places higher where as it was originally putting us in contention for Europe! This run, under whatever circumstances, is not acceptable. We can, we know we can, do better than this. We've shown it! Newcastle away next. Fuck that one off. Then we've got to limp over the line in the last 8 games and just hope. But its sad that we're left to hope once again. We should be doing better than this. Not loads better...I'm not daft...just better!

What's the definition of 'fact'?

Hmmmm. Dunno. Shareholders know the game. I do the same as a Sole Trader too. I'll pay what is due in Tax but I'll reduce it as much as possible. But then, however I decide to do that will be taxed somewhere along the way anyway. It's a good way to keep the money flowing I guess.

Tax.

100% agree with the sentiment of what you're saying. But I'll still say that PLCs will do all they can to pay as little tax as possible. That's just business.

When you bring in rules, but have no guidance as to how to punish breaches of said rules...this is what happens. A great big guessing game and contradictions.

....tax avoidance is why mega sized companies don't seem to make as much profit as we would believe.

Doomed if he does. Doomed if he doesn't. IMO.

It'll be the same players playing whatever the system. The same players who aren't/can't convert the chances. It's a proper dilemma really.

Christ. Could have been a 3rd penalty. Phew. Ah well. Another one down. Lack of belief really taking its toll now. We need that horrible scruffy win from somewhere.

Oooooh fuckin hell. Close. Maybe that'll give them a wee pick up...

All pace and belief has gone. Can't see how we get anything out of this now if we can't pick up the pace again.

Need these changes. C'mon boys.

Don't judge it by 8 mins and the score. We've been the better team. Unfortunately, today is the day the usually solid defence have chosen to have their overdue mare!

2nd Half Tactics: Hurt Garnacho. He literally is their only threat. Go for it...could we bring DCL on? Who for? Without exposing ourselves too much. Too frustrating. United are there to be taken. We simply don't have that little extra nudge of quality to finish these games when needed.

What's happened to Garners corners? They're fuckin woeful.

It's horrible to be 2 down through such shite circumstances knowing you struggle to score even 1 goal.

Last week I was bemoaning the fact the attackers need to do more because the day will come when the defenders have a mare...they can't hold the Fort alone. And here we are....

Fuuuuuuuuck!!!!

At least we're lifting crosses above 6ft! (Mostly!)

Fuckin typical, isn't it? Great start. Shoot ourselves in the foot. Fuck sake.

Absolutely

...and The Ginger Bearded One should get PL Manager of the Year.
