Point taken about the fodder, they ought to be worthy of more interest. It's just same problem as always - what's the point? They'll lose to City and Utd, they'll be too inconsistent to compete with the flakier big clubs, one of them might finish above Liverpool but so what?
Anyway this morose meta non-banter will surely revitalise our board.

four or five of them might finish above Liverpool

tmb indeed, if you're gonna open up like that in the bantz thread you need to finish on a note of ignorant pack bravado or (if it's about yr grandad who has war medals beaing up a younger member of an etnic minority) a mawkish sentimental note, obv in either case lets have a -LAD finish

lots of strong credentials for position of bantermeister-in-chief itt
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 16:51 (eleven years ago) link
just can't bring yourself to abbrev can you
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 17:30 (eleven years ago) link
Gotta admit I don't feel 110% comfortable with how this is developing. I want clearer parameters - if it's r|t|c, proceed to engage in banter; wbs, aim for naturalistic, thoughtful chat; merdeyeux, somewhere in between. That sort of thing. Are abbreviations okay? I don't know. I want to know, but there needs to be a chain of command. Leadership. Not a banter (bantz? I'm in the dark) free-for-all - people could get hurt.
Spontaneity is the enemy of banter imo, thread became a minefield for a bit back there.

social life is difficult enough to manage already without bantz being a paradigm entirely distinct from the norm. can't we accept a fluid continuum?
― Shane Richie Junior (Merdeyeux), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 19:59 (eleven years ago) link
we must accept fluidity beyond the comfort zone of klata else renounce bantz imo

S5(iii) Robbie Keane is the Republic's Record Goalscorer, and more than that he is one of of the Top 20 international goalscorers of all time. Show him the respect he deserves.

do you really need any more bantz stimuli? some leagues dont even get a rafa in their lifetime let alone give one a second chance at hilarity.
