I am not so sure about that, but I might be wrong. Thank you for being so nice and welcoming!

I think you misunderstood me. I meant the insults and mocking directed ( constructive criticism is fine) at the players. I´m just at the wrong place.

You didn´t have to explain.It makes total sense. I made a stupid, thoughtless comment. I know that if this one was locked, twelve others would appear immediatly. It´s frustrating that this topic has wormed his way on other players threads as well. It´s not the fault of the mods though. I am sorry.

I guess courage is the wrong word. I was hesitant for a long time. Some users do come on pretty strong. I also knew that I couldn´t take all the insults without saying something even though it is a given on any football message board.

Well, I know that the Mikel thread was locked. Was it worse than this one? It´s true though that it was no my place to indirectly ask for it. I´ve never been on Rawk or any football message board. It took me a lot of courage to join this one, take from that what you want. Plus I don´t even know the names of all their players and I also don´t really care.

I don´t think I´m going to be posting much, so it´s not necessary. Thank you though.

Honestly I just suck at choosing usernames. It shows that I´m not really familiar with being on a message board. I´m also female which makes the username even more ludicrous. It was supposed to be a reference and it´s not working for me either. Oh well, I at least tried it after being a silent reader for two years.

If being tired of a player getting mocked constantly means that I´m a troll, then I´ll gladly be one.

I already admitted that using the word class was a mistake. I actually agree with you on that. I´m not so sure that wishing him an injury ( it happened months ago in fairness), was a joke. If it was, it´s not the kind of humour I get. That´s true as well though I don´t really know if the Chelsea match chat is much better...

Well, wanting to put drugs in a locker of a player ( even saying it in banter) or wishing a player of your club an injury ( it has happened before) is pretty classless. I also just mentioned it because I´ve read several times on here that fans of club xy are classless and Chelsea fans would never do this and that. It´s true though talking about class on a message board is futile, so my apologies. I´m not a fan of any club, it has just never happened to me for some reason, but I do love football and I actually like Chelsea. I wanted to learn more about tactics, talk about football and stuff, but realized ( and I should have known it before) that message boards are not my thing. I just don´t think it´s funny to slate players off constantly. It gets so very tiring. I knew it before i joined though, so that´s totally on me!

I hope no one ever states on here again that Chelsea fans have more class than fans of any other club. It`s also mind-boggling that no mod has locked this thread. I know it would be in vain but still...

Well then carry on.

I get that it was a joke. One among so many in almost every thread...It still doesn´t mean he`s a horrible person to be around. I apologise for being so off-topic.

That´s the thing you weren´t talking about him as a football player. And why not use exclusively his thread to ridicule him some more? Why use everyone else´s, as well? I´m aware you didn´t start it btw in case you are wondering. I´m a woman btw. Nice to meet you. Please stop calling me mate.

Once again I´m not a mate. And I think I can decide when I´ll go to bed for myself. I didn´t realise a bit of sarcasm isn´t allowed on here, but using c- and f-words is just swell ( No, I´m not talking about you).

Well you replied to a post that wasn´t exactly about football. It´s just about making fun at his expense I guess. Despite the username, I´m not a pal.

Hilarious.

You mean he´s a terrible person and it´s unbearable to sit next to him? Congrats for knowing someone famous!

I don´t get why he has to be mocked in almost every thread and this time it´s not even about football.

Even when Real had their amazing run, I didn´t get why they were/are considered among the favourites to win the CL. They couldn´t win one game against Barca or Atletico this season. Their win ratio against the top 5 or 6 sides in La Liga has been dreadful. Just because they win 5-0 against Rayo doesn´t really mean much. They are no match for Bayern at all. Imo Chelsea would have the best chances to beat Bayern. Atletico could also give them a run for their money. I doubt Bayern will face them though, so they`ll probably walk the CL. I even expect Dortmund (despite their injury issues) to run riot against them. They can slice them open on Ronaldo´s and Marcello´s side and will pressure Alonso into making mistakes ( which is not hard these days). It won´t be easy for them to reach the semis at all. Plus Klopp is one of the best club managers around. Sorry, totally off topic.

No it wasn´t you i-like-to-munich. It doesn´t really matter anyway. I don´t feel like commenting on the other part. If anything you got me to sign up.

Well I´m not really a Spain expert and I have to admit that I haven´t really watched Valencia this season. I usually just watch Barcelona and Real. I know it´s shameful.

It will be Costa for sure. I have to say though that this puts a huge damper on my Spain love. I realize he´s a brilliant striker, but I can´t stand his antics. That´s a tough one... I love Mate but I don´t really think he´s been brilliant for Spain when he played . This is of course because he´s used on the wing and he is wasted there. Del Bosque will probably prefer to take Thiago and Koke.

Oh ok. I only remembered a few others. Haha you won´t like the reason I joined. A poster wished an injury on a player (hard to guess which player) and I just had to say something. I´m not the type to join a message board at all. It´s kinda scary for me, but I couldn´t stay away. I am not really a football club person . Somehow it doesn´t work for me. I do like Chelsea though and it´s my favourite club in England. The team I support is the Spanish National team so I know that will endear me to everyone here ;). TMI and not reallly interesting I guess. P.S. I´d never thought I´d have the first conversation on here with you. That´s really surprising and kind of cool.

Well that´s usually my reaction. So touché! I´ve been reading this message board for a while, so I have to ask... Were you always so ouspoken about your frustration or did it start this season? I only remember it being other posters...
