blahblahblah 2 Posted October 18, 2010 I mean, I really love Mr Chops, he''s a valued member of the forum and was my all time favourite poster ever when he did that nativity thingummy a couple of seasons ago, but this year he''s only been using weak puns while trying to crack a joke with cityangel and shyster, and spends most of his time sending up other posters instead of instead of taking the mickey out of those on the pitch. As he thinks he is a sporting satirist, he should be always trying to find an angle on the players on the pitch and not fannying around taking the mickey out of Shyster, I mean he''s not exactly Ian Hislop now is he? At least he''s not obtuse like BlyBlyBly, or angry like morty, smudger, or increasingly tilly, but my point is really if he doesn''t take the mickey out of someone famous soon then should we drop him for that bloke out of the fast show that says "Brillyernt" a lot ?

morty 0 Posted October 18, 2010 Lol, I''m not angry, I just won''t suffer fools, or if anyone starts with insults then I''ll happily rise to the occasion.Are you implying Chops should be given a free transfer to WOTB?Harsh if so lol.[:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted October 18, 2010 Whilst I love him to death I do think the forum should get in a proven forum provider as back up for Mr Chops.A lot of his posts are too wide of the mark and I''m not sure if he can cut it as a championship poster.Maybe have banana start a few threats, loan out Cry Babe Binner for the rest of the seaon and bring Mr Chops on as an impact poster for the last few pages of a thread perhaps.

He''ll never be a nutty nigel, but while he''s still able to have an impact, why not bring him on to write the punchline towards the end of the game ?

I''m sure T will back me up in saying this when I say that without money coming in from the trivial stuff like "news" ( yeah right, in Norfolk, good luck ! ) and "advertising" ( see previous brackets ) , there''s no money to divert to the really important stuff, like giving bored office workers and retired people a chance to vent aimlessly and at each other while sitting at a keyboard.

Katie Borkins 1 Posted October 18, 2010 If I were your Prime Minister, I would happily appoint him as court jester. The problem I think Mister Chops has is that he needs someone to play alongside, and since First Wizard left the forum he has been lacking quality balls to feed off.

Bill 1,788 Posted October 18, 2010 Yes, the forum does seem to be missing the varied skills of the Lowestoft lad, who left on a BosmanKnown as the Wizard of was he could always be relied upon to provide a load of balls. Unfortunately his habit of frequently changing sides made him as many enemies as it won him supporters (it''s believed he''s presently plying his trade in the Mutt and Jeff Weathervane League)Perhaps a proven championship writer could be brought in to cover for the failing Mr Chops. Cameldung of the Colchester Evening Orl has plenty of jpurnalistic experience. King Binno writes in the style of Jeffrey Archer, albeit slightly less truthful than dear Jeffrey.Maybe we should look to bring in Stephen Fry, would at least give him something to do at games other than yawning.
