Whatever you like - conversation welcome

Post by Duffer_ » Sun Aug 14, 2022 5:26 pm

As I posted on another thread: "I don't get the current obssession with people trying to limit content to their strict personal interpretation of the thread title. Conversation meanders, often tangentially, and is all the richer for it...imo."

This thread has no rules on staying on topic. It welcomes diversity of thought and randomness whilst respecting all the (implied) rules of conduct on this board.

So, if you want to talk about any aspect of playing style, formation, player attributes, budgetary considerations, hospitality, whether OT is in Salford or not, Chelsea's collar, or anything else without fear of offending others, then this is the place for you!

Like most, I have a real dislike for Chelsea but fair points well made...and Richarlison coming on for Spurs. It's (nearly) enough to start warming your throat with 'Chelsea, Chelsea, we're having a blue...'. Nah, maybe not.

Here's one. I do this thing at work called last man standing. For anyone not aware, you pick a Premier league team to win a game each week. You can only pick a team once. If the team you picked loses or draws you're out. If you win you move onto the next week. We started with 20 players and it'll be down to 8 for next week as Liverpool knocked loads out in week one and I know four people had west ham this week. I picked Newcastle week one and Arsenal week 2. Loads of players used up Man City this week so I'm looking good. Anyway, my question is, who would you pick in week 3?

For some reason this thread reminded me of pstotto but I couldn't remember his username. I did a keyword search on "surreal" but interestingly it didn't return a single post of his containing that word. I might check for "ironic" under a few of those moaning about going off topic.

Was thinking Spurs, Chelsea or Liverpool but reckon United got no choice but to turn up against Liverpool so leaning towards the other two.

Not at all. I chose my username based on the fact that I liked Michael Duff but also that I am a keen, but pretty poor golfer (despite the genes). The underscore was supposed to represent the usual trajectory of the ball :)

I think someone else registered as Duffer without the _ but that was after me. Not sure if they understandably changed their username to avoid confusion or association with my views, or stopped posting shortly after joining.

I suspect I am more in the KRBFC camp when it comes to ALK but your post made me smile and inspired me...

ALK bought Burnley - a speculative punt,
Garlick trousered the cash - the total...ly respected ex Chairman of BFC was legally entitled to do so

Hmmm, needs a bit more work.

Liverpool (away at United)
It’s a tough set fixtures - anyone who hasn’t picked Arsenal will probably go for them away at Bournemouth
