I only signed up in august and have enjoyed this thread since I joined the GW.

Was it way busier this time last year with more active boardsies contributing to the general banter?

Used to be a lot busier when it first started alright. Needs a scandal to liven the place up a bit

I feel comments like "this thread is dead" only serves to damage the thread more than not posting tbh.

As for if it actually is dead, I don't think it particularly is; there's less arguments, sure, and there's less debating certain "controversial" ideas. But the general chit chat is really at the same level it has been for a while...

I only mean dead in the sense of the 10000 mark, a new one needs to be created at that mark,

There are a few trigger words that will speed the thread up

Porto Manager has caused a stir in the post match press conference today stating he thinks managers that get relegated should be sacked
(*), squad caps should be enforced(**), monitoring and buying from unmanaged should be in the same category as Jennifer Lawrences' clothes ... (OFF!!) (***)...


(*), (**), (***) : These may not be the Porto Managers personal views and just may be an attempt to raise the post count in this thread

The offer for Ron-Robert ZIELER of Cruzeiro from SS Lazio has been accepted. The transfer will be completed within the next 24 hours.

Have to say fair play to Cruzerio here, after tonights game I was short 104,000 on the agreed fee but I threw in a bid anyhow and he let me off,


Cheers for that, much appreciated!


Handy also to have a solid 89 keeper for D2!

I didn't say he was or wasn't entitled to do anything, I'm asking if there's something I'm missing. If not, fair enough.
