Just block him. He clearly gets under your skin as you’re constantly replying to his posts, and I’m pretty sure he thinks you’re a massive bellend so it’s the sensible thing to do surely? Every thread turns into pages of people who have personal dislike for each other arguing and getting personal. One thread I was reading the other day (can't remember which one), was literally 4/5 pages of people openly discussing Bayern and why they fucking hate him. Quite pathetic that they let an anonymous person online seemingly get under their skin so much over a discussion about football. Bayern is a tricky one. I guess the problem stems from his stubbornness and inability to come to a compromise. Although I genuinely admire how he doesn't get personal within discussion, I do find it infuriating that he is so set in his ways (agendas?) that he doesn't budge when facts contradict what he thinks. I certainly don't hate the guy, he's just a bit of an arse to have a constructive debate with.

Going by the managers comments the other day Simpson isn't one we are interested in.

Does anyone get concerned when you see new comments on this thread? Massively.

But if you can't have a constructive debate with them, block said individual and everyone is a winner. That way threads don't get loaded with personal arguments and your mental health will improve .

I certainly don't hate the guy, he's just a bit of an arse to have a constructive debate with. If someone comes up with a good argument I will happily change my mind. People very usually don't. And I will discuss to the cow's come home, if people get frustrated that they haven't changed my mind how is that my issue? And no agendas, I can't stand that shite and don't get where it comes from? Other than people that can't actually debate? It's a cop out in my book. Re facts, it depends on your definition of fact I would suggest most would say Davies has improved the defence, fact, look at the results and the goals conceded. And it is a very good argument and he's been ok but that's me budging. I honest to God swear on Ricardo Fuller's life don't think the defence have improved since he came in. If I did I would say so. He's been better than I expected and done ok but I don't think he's been better than that and why people can't accept that, I don't get tbh. And I don't get the obsession with me, it's odd and like in the transfer thread just now, people were happily discussing football until one moron chirped up and then another and I will reply. I should know better but as long as I have a hole in my arse, I will talk out of it and type in the same vein

Obsession probably isn't the correct word, but I can certainly understand the reaction. On a repetitive basis. You are by far the most prolific and outspoken poster on this board. Throw in that the majority of your posts are negative bile. You purposely put yourself out there to be shot at. Be honest. This is a big part of your life. And thats OK. You live your life on here. Don't piss and moan when people call you out. And for what it's worth, the majority are correct. Davies has been very good during his short stint since coming into the team. The sensible (and consensus) reaction to him has been overwhelmingly (and understandably) positive. You post "I hope I never see him play for our club again". A perfect example of what I mention above. You are purposely stoking a reaction, to justify you spending your entire life on this board. That is your choice. Just don't piss and moan when people jump on your back.

Clearly removing Butland is an improvement in itself. I honestly think if you gave genuine reasoning behind your theories people would engage you in a much more receptive way.

As an example (and I don't want to get into this too much) McClean's crossing being shite, when he statistically completes more crosses than most others in the league. I'll admit, at the start of the season his crossing was erratic, but as the season went on I could see it improving and the stats reflect this, but you still maintain your original position regardless. Sometimes the word agenda can be used as a copout I'll admit. However, the only positive thing I've seen you post about our player of the season is that he takes on his man well (a couple of days ago). I guess I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one and see what you think next season. RE. Davies, I agree to an extent. He's an improvement on Butland and has shown promise (he deserves a season as no.1 before we judge any further). I disagree about the defence as I don't think it's a coincidence that Baath has looked more assured since he's come in, I would prefer Collins to Chester but I'll let Michael be the judge of that. Regarding the obsession with you, I think if you replied with as much thought as you have to this discussion people wouldn't mind so much. It's just your demeanour with some of the negativity you post comes across as a little ignorant, condescending and short. Perhaps unintentional, and I can't speak for everyone, and again I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt if I've got this wrong. You know what Bayern, I agree with what you said on the transfer market thread. Times are quiet, and tangents will inevitably happen. Posters gatekeeping threads doesn't help to get things back on track.

Posters gatekeeping threads doesn't help to get things back on track. I disagree it’s fact. Look at the accuracy thing, he’s not top 10! So like I was saying completing the most doesn’t mean he’s good at crossing, it just means he crosses a lot. If he was good at crossing that accuracy would be up there too. And that’s always been my point with it.

With regards to crossing, you are also relying on the person on the end of the cross getting to the ball

He would of played with both Ryan Shawcross and James Chester at Man Utd youth level. So I imagine if he was to sign that both these players, particularly Ryan, would be fairly influencial in the decision too.
