Has there ever been a case of a player dropping from the Premiership to the Swedish league, who has then worked their way back? I can't think of anyone.

I'm not very clear on the soccer merits, here. Getting bumped from Fulham, and then Cardiff in quick succession doesn't bode well.

After this whole saga plays out, EJ is going to be able to put together one of those "Backpacking through Europe" guides. Except, he won't actually be backpacking; he'll be rolling in style, maybe in Beasley's beemer. And he won't be going on 50 bucks-a-day.

And I submit you can find some good dialectic in Python skits. They can be fairly witty, and absurd at the same time. Don't sell them short.

Here's circular logic from you: according to you, I should post more often and then I would understand the dynamic of the boards here, or, conversely, I should post less often on less contentious topics.

Well. Which is it going to be? I'd respond to one, if it weren't contradicting the other.

Dude, these boards are not the provenance of you and your band of merry men/ alter egos. You and a few others do post most frequently, but you're not the only ones who do post. I actually enjoy reading posts from across the spectrum of fans and aficianados. There are some reasonable, entertaining and astute posts. Unfortunately, I don't see much of that in the posts that you and whoeverthehellyoureallyare submit. It wouldn't be a big deal if you folks didn't blather on, and on, and on.

I'm disappointed. I thought we were very close to having an actual exchange, though maybe slightly contentious. But then again, that's what healthy debate is.

Bottom line: this is a public forum. I'll post whenever the spirit moves me--even if that post doesn't agree with, or points out glaring inconsistencies with Oter/D/Poot.whoeverthehellyoureallyare.
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Milan: Shevchenko for Beckham?
I agree; you didn't. If you take the time to read carefully, you'll notice that the first word of that statement is "If"--a hypothetical condition. Nothing more.
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Milan: Shevchenko for Beckham?
I know you're were jonesin' for the last word; but I just can't resist. It's actually not faulty logic.

What is axiomatic is that you only respond to "accusations" that you consider warranting a response. If I'm a confused/disturbed/babbling nutbag floating out some baseless conspiracy theory, then you dismiss it out of hand. Maybe you chuckle. Maybe you sigh. But you dismiss it all the same.

Afterall, what possible repercussions could there be to these "accusations"? Could they get you arrested? Could they negatively impact your credit score, or employment prospects? Perhaps they might get you drummed out of your church, or PTA, or Moose lodge? No?

Then why dignify the lunacies of somebody whom you have already thoroughly deprecated?


Don't look now, but this almost resembles a dialogue.

And before I log off, on the slight chance that you aren't the same, sad guy, it is really cute how you two tag-team in an anemic effort to defend each other. Disclaimer, Oter/D-Wreck or whoeverthehellyouare, that was intentionally sarcastic.

And on the strong possibility that you are the same sad guy posting under various accounts, you've only helped to confirm suspicions.
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Milan: Shevchenko for Beckham?
It's only a "low blow" if you take it seriously. I'll take your question, turn it around, and pose it to you. If it's baseless, or there's nothing to it, why respond?

And look at that, we've already exchanged a single message without name-calling.
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Milan: Shevchenko for Beckham?
Refute me if I'm wrong, or if my reasoning is "stale". Whoeverthehellyouare, we joined fannation one day apart. You on June 19th of 2008. I joined on the 18th, one day before you. You have close to 10 times the number of posts I've submitted.

Whether you're at work, or on the beach in Cabo, if you're posting that frequently, you aren't logging much face time with people who are not video-game characters.

Dude, do yourself, and the rest of us a big favor, and get the help you so desperately need.
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Milan: Shevchenko for Beckham?
Are you really that literal and/or thick when you don't get the "ironic" reference? As you've pointed out, when you say them, both Shevy and Chevy are the exact same word. I think most people who read my post picked up on that. Why are you the only one who didn't?

I still don't see any joke. But then again, my sense of humor isn't based on calling people grade-school names.

I don't doubt that you ..."call it as you see it". My point is you don't "see it" very clearly.

I never posted that "people gang up on me". I simply stated it's difficult to introduce and discuss a topic when others take a dissenting view as a personal attack. As far as you're concerned, I'll happily embrace the "odd man out" mantle. There isn't much in what I've seen in your posts that makes me want to be part of your little cyber-circle jerk.

Judging from your reaction to my posts directed at others in this forum, I'd say that you are the same, albeit, sad guy posting under different accounts.

Whoever the hell you are (Oter/D-Wreck/ etc., etc.,: here's a little Dr. Phil (because I've seen his influence in your pearls of wisdom): why don't you get some treatment for your Multiple Personality Disorder, and find a life outside of this forum? You might want to consider why I have a tenth of yours and others' accumulated posts. I don't live in front of the computer monitor. I get out regularly and interact with....real people. Not avatars.
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Milan: Shevchenko for Beckham?
You're just wrong. It's becoming a woeful pattern with you:

1) I corrected the poster for calling him Shev-y, on topic because it was a post about, Sheva. He named Shev-y at least twice. That's no typo, that's a clear indication he doesn't know anything about the player. How much credibility would I have if in one of my posts, I repeatedly referenced "Pattygol", or "Gazz-o", or "Keen-y"? None, because people would be correct in assuming I didn't know these players from shine-o-la.

2) Show me the joke, oh enlightened one.

3) I believe I responded to your post calling me a "prat". Low brow and classless, I might add. You keep referring to humor, but in my experience, humor is actually creative. Is that really all you had to say?

Dude, I might be a victim of any number of things; you ain't one of them. You're going to have to actually best me before I'd claim the status of "victim".
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Milan: Shevchenko for Beckham?
I agree with you there: it ain't easy to introduce a topic when you and your little friends are more interested in responding with verbal sticks & stones,..."prat" "twit" idgit", etc. After making those statements on Kljestan, I got jumped, as others have been, when they don't agree with your crowd.
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Milan: Shevchenko for Beckham?
I'm all for engaging in discussion where people are reasonable, and willing to entertain other viewpoints. Problem is, you're one of these few posters who takes any deviation from your own, at times, questionable posts, as a personal attack. When in fact, one of the tenets on which this country is founded, is dissent and debate.

Like I've mentioned before, I'm not interested in a round of back-slapping and esteem-boosting plattitudes with my other likeminded buddies.

I don't know...does this sound too "sarcastic" or "pratish" to you?
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Milan: Shevchenko for Beckham?
I tell you what, before you feel the urge to share your Dr. Phil-caliber insights, stop yourself for a moment, and just resist the urge. It sounds like tired cliches when it comes out of his mouth; imagine how ridiculous you sound parroting him.
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Milan: Shevchenko for Beckham?
You can try and bash me all you want, in the end, it's fairly pathetic reflection on you. But for the sake of candor, let's not be delusional and call your posts even remotely "funny".
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Milan: Shevchenko for Beckham?
Oh, and nice use of the word "prat". So, which part of the UK do you hail from? Last time I checked, Indiana was part of the continental US.
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Kljestan not going to Celtic
Friends I've got: the old fashioned flesh-and-blood kind. I'm not looking for cyber buddies.

The only expectation I have on these boards. and can't seem to find, is a little well reasoned dialogue on soccer. By "dialogue", I don't mean a small coterie of posters who always agree, exchange some stale humor amongst themselves, and take it as an insult if someone else has a different opinion, or makes the occasional correction.
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Milan: Shevchenko for Beckham?
Now, now now. Look who's lacking a sense of humor. The topic would die, if only you wouldn't comment.

BTW, on the Shevy/Chevy point--it's called phonetics. Google it and learn something.
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Milan: Shevchenko for Beckham?
I'd guess that the reason we're seeing this rumor two-days running is down to D-Wreck's connections. I hear he's got the inside line on news about his buddy Shev-y.
Posted Monday February 02, 2009, About: Kljestan not going to Celtic
So...let me get this straight: you characterize my posts in negative fashion, and then go on to respond to one of my points two posts later? If I post such palaver, why respond?

You know what I find offensive? Your total and utter lack of logic. But I will cede one area of expertise to you--you seem quite well versed in all things rectal.
