Today’s tokens went on an Everton-Leicester-Chelsea triple at 9/1, btw

I think certain people on here definitely set out with the intention of causing me emotional harm. No names but they know who they are, not that I’m interested in getting in an argument with them over this.

I don’t think football needs to be 90% schadenfreude as you say. I don’t know if it’s a modern thing but I think it’s a bit of a sickness in football fandom generally. I’m partial to it occasionally, and sometimes it’s almost unavoidable (cf. last day of last season), but I’ve tried to limit it recently because it’s just a destructive emotion isn’t it really, kind of like a distorted mimicry of joy.

nah sod this, if I’m not allowed to laugh at arsenal getting Pulised 3-1 whilst 2 SEPERATE groups of idiots fly planes around having arguments with each other then modern football really is dead

I have honestly never noticed still_here getting flak on these threads - poking fun at Arsenal Football Club (yes, that happens a lot here because they’re on a poor run of form and its funny to poke fun at other clubs) is not the same as being personal about a user on a forum. Honestly, if I’m feeling down about something, I wouldn’t go and read a load of stuff that would probably make me feel worse.

Fair enough, I’ve not witnessed that but then I guess I won’t have been paying attention that closely to it. All I’d say is, try not to take it personally.

Although I don’t disagree with you there’s something human nature (or British?) about the way football fans interact, and yeah the “modern game” as an overbearing factor could well be a big part of it

My post wasn’t just about the way people behave towards me, it was about the threads generally.

But anyway I’d appreciate you not telling me how to act in response to depression, thanks.

#74

I want all the teams to win equally

#75

well apart from chelsea, yeah I could probably live with that

#76

Okay, I’m sorry about that, I know it doesn’t help. Depression is fucking awful and I hope that you start to feel better soon.

However, these threads are no different to pretty much every other football forum out there, with the exception that there’s generally better real discussion about the game and far less ‘shit-posting’ here.

Yeah there’s some really terrifying stuff out there, we might have shite patter but at least we’re not racist, sexist homophobic bigots (AFAIK)

I’ve spoken to parsers about the possibility of upping all of those things in the threads, but he wasn’t having it.

This is the weirdest incorrect description of a goal I’ve seen in a while. Willian took a free kick aiming for just inside the near post when he saw Grant wasn’t covering it. What match was the writer of that watching?
