I don't have a problem with the odd pun here and there. When it's the same pun over and over and over again it just clogs up the thread.

The sixth sense one today was decent because it was new and clever. Then it just descended into the same unimaginative bollocks, that has basically been copy and pasted daily for weeks.
Your thoughts on whether this will happen?

It's not, but you can't tell me it's much fun to look through the transfer threads and read the same post over and over again.
And your point is @Trix ....

can we get back to tracking him to see if he went on tour or not?
Or are they flying out tomorrow?

Would love to know what each party’s starting position was to now be down to the final 2.5m.

Levy 10m. Gibson 20m?

Apparently Levy offered 40m for Richarlison and Everton ITK said they wanted 60m so levy maybe likes to leave a meet a middle scenario with an opening bid and then make up the difference to their original ask with add ons. Ie we signed Richarlison for 50m plus 10m worth of add ons. I appreciate thats one example. Just using that logic, 15m fixed plus 5m in add ons should do the trick unless one of them is being unreasonable. Maybe we’re at 12.5m. For a young player the add ons may also include a sell on percentage.

Sounds plausible. Strange old saga.

It is frustrating when you check into a particular thread and find 20 pages of jokes.

Unless it's the joke thread.....

Think I have made a couple of puns, but not over and over. But can see why people find it frustrating.

This forum is not meant to be too serious, surely?
No, but then again we’re not reporting it to fucking Ofcom, we’re asking for people to stop spamming the thread with the same joke.

“Just skip past the jokes” doesn’t help when you have to read pages of them to filter out the Spence updates.

Christ people, go get fucked to relieve some anxiety (in whichever way works for you) and stop populating this thread with utter bullshit. There’s been nothing remotely interesting in at least 12 hours yet it’s repeatedly the most recently “added to” thread. For an average, potentially exciting yet functionally sensible signing this thread draws out some real strange responses. As for the puns? I LOVE a pun myself, but only when they’re original and funny.most of you will think “don’t give a fuck what this guy thinks”. Well yeah…right back atcha!!

Anyone know if he traveled with Middlesbrough to Portugal?


As per today morning news reports, his replacement (Triaist named Tommy Smith) is on the preseason trip to Portugal. It looks like he is staying behind as per some Boro fans but officially they havent made it clear.
