Evil Monkey 52 Posted August 4, 2006 For the love of God, will everyone please stop posting new threads about Sutton! There''s already ten million of them, and they''ve all become playgrounds for bickering!Mods, please can you just lump them all under one thread to get rid of them! It''s a day till kick off of the new season and all we''re hearing is "whinge whinge Sutton blah whinge Worthy''s actually great whinge Sutton BLAH!"And all the while new and interesting posts are getting lost or overtaken with Sutton remarks!I''m on the verge of never visiting this site again it''s getting so boring!Can the mods just issue a "this topic is now closed for discussion" statement and be done with it! Free speech and all that, but come on, it''s getting silly!And yes, I do realise the irony of starting a thread about Sutton to complain about the threads about him.

paul williams 0 Posted August 4, 2006 Fair enough but if the bloody club would sign some new faces even loan ones do you think people would still be talking about Sutton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beelsie 0 Posted August 4, 2006 Much as Sutton was a great player for NCFC. Why on earth is so much time and space devoted to him on these boards. The message is fromNCFC that he is not coming here, end of story, to me, banging on about something that will not materialise is plain daft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cliffoa 0 Posted August 4, 2006 Who the hell do you think you are ''Death''? Telling the moderators to ''close'' the threads or ''lump them together'' so you don''t have to read them. Have you ever considered that most people are posting/replying to those threads, and debating the Sutton issue, because that''s the issue they''re interested in? It''s called democracy. For the record most people seem to view the Sutton issue as another example of Worthless''s screwed up management skills in microcosm., that''s why they''re so vexed about it. They''re just as excited/concerned about the start of the season as you seem to be, the main difference being that they realise we''re about to start it with more or less the same failed squad and manager who screwed up so badly last year, and they''re desperate for someone of Sutton''s experience and qualities to be brought in to strengthen the squad and give us a fighting chance this season. If you don''t fancy coming back to the site for a while, fine. Better for everyone if you go off into a corner and talk to yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I''m a user of these boards, and have beenfor some time, who has concerns about it''s current state. I''vehonestly never seen it like this - the same topics raised daily so thatthe same people can jump in and bicker with each other. Have youactually read one of the threads and then gone onto one of the othersand compared? They''re exactly the same!Anyone who''s ever dealt with a forum knows that there has to be somelevel of control over what threads appear on the front page - if it''sthe same topic over and over, it will lose users. It''s one of thereasons why BBC''s 606 forum went down the pan; too many users postingnonsense, pushing the topics of interest down and off the page. Ifor one don''t want that fate to happen to this site!I''ve no problem with debating the Sutton topic, but if you''ve beenpaying attention you''ll notice it''s been going on for about a week andthere''s nothing new being said. It''s become boring, and whilstyou maintain that "most" people on this site want to talk about this, Idispute that. "Most" people want to discuss a wide range oftopics, not just see the same thing over and over. It''s verysimple; variety is the spice of life. Some people don''t seem tounderstand that.You don''t like my objections to it? Well fine, I''ve got no problem withthat. But try to think about what you say before you write, thenwe''ll all get along just fine.Now, where were we?Oh yes:Keep it low, splendid rush! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
