I’m not sure I could cope with less PJ Harvey or Courtney Barnett.
As you were Ted.

As a big fan of CB & PJ, I endorse this message.
Keep on keeping on Ted.
Sotonians wouldn’t exist in the wee hours of the morning if TedMaul wasn’t here, and someone else wasn’t “on one”.
Back on topic. Vic has had a poor season. I haven’t forgotten his Euro-strop. His form has been patchy and he’s missed too many games through suspension. I do think some of his cards have been a little harsh though.
When he is on song he is a beast though. If he won’t sign a contract extension (which would be my preferred option) then we should take the best offer we can get for him.
Think West Ham may be a likely destination for him personally.

Dunno. Probably watch the lion king with him and get him to translate what the pig is really saying.
“I fucked your wife…up the arse!!”
I think I’ve probably seen enough. Not enough quality game time, not helped by his very poor decision making and nearly breaking the Premier League record for red cards in one season. If he’d been sent off for Leicester, that would have been him into next season.
Unfortunately, many players are going to look at our more notable successes plying their trade at the giant clubs of Europe and conclude that this is a stepping stone. Long term, we’d all like our players to stay and play for the shirt. Wanyama hasn’t seemed to want to do either much this season.

Few can do what Wanyama can when on song - he can single-handedly wrestle you 3 points. Otherwise… Well, let’s just say I don’t agree with a lot of the criticisms. His limitations are almost brought on by his strengths.
At full application he could probably start for any top 4 club.
The question is whether he can he do it consistently? If not then sell to the highest bidder.

Hey! You wind your neck in there, Jack. No one has a pop at Ted Maul, not on my watch.

Sorry mate, but if someone comes into a topic I started, critising me, the thread, and the forum (without good reason) – then I’m going to defend and counter.
There was absolutely no need for Ted to make the comments he did, and had he not done so – I would never have had any intention of publicly critisising Ted, or his contributions. But once he felt the need to make those needlessly critical remarks about me/the topic – he opened himself up to hearing my own opinions expressed about him. Fair is fair mate.
I’m sure most people can at least understand my stance on that, regardless of how much they might like Ted.
But again, what I hoped was going to be a decent topic, is being derailed in side discussion, so if you want to discuss the matter further, then please feel free to raise it in the “Beef” thread, and I’ll be happy to respond there.
All a bit over the top over a couple of fairly innocent one-liners.
Your skin must be wafer-thin Jack.
Over to you to have a go at me now, presumably.
it is a bit over the top. Lets just all be merry and gay together.

I know alot of people have taken offence in this thread and gotten quite upset , to be fair if anyone deserves that right it has to be me !
The implication is that either Vic or Bob ( blimey) has fucked my wife up the arse.
Its come as a bit of a shock really

Nah, not at all. I respect your contributions to the forum. And, when you’re not looking through my eyes – then it’s probably a fair comment.
To briefy explain, it’s pretty simple:
Had it been pretty much anyone else making the comments I responded to, I’d either have simply ignored the post, or, left my reply at the bit about not visiting St. Mary’s much.
It was because the comments came from literally the only member of the board, who when I read their posts, I think “Jeez, what on earth does this guy bring to the forum? It’s like a litter-bug wandering 'round an otherwise nice community, dropping little pieces of trash as he goes, and lowering the quality of the place.”
It is because the comments came from the one poster who’s contributions I’ve seen here (obviously I’ve simply not seen the brilliant passionate ones Bletch refers to) I feel to be poor quality, and offer nothing of value, which had been grating on me for a while. My thought process was “omg – this guy, of all people, is making derrogatory remarks about my content!? You couldn’t make it up!”
That is why I felt the need to respond as I did. My humble apologies if that has rubbed people up the wrong way.
FAO: Pap and or Bletch.
If you get a free moment, and could find the time to clear out all the trash (side disscusion) including my own of course, to the “Beef” thread, so that we can simply have a topic about big Vic as intended – it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
you’re apology is worthless as you’ve not only been rude again but this time you’ve been even ruder. You’ve written some unpleasant things in your last post about a fellow sotonian and to make it worse it’s completely misguided and inaccurate. Then you have the temerity to ask for the insults to be moved to the beef thread… Presumably including the last post of yours?
I’ll put it on record, Ted is one of my favourite posts on this board. You don’t like his posts, fine, but your rudeness is unnecessary and does you a disservice.
I’m disinclined to move things to the Beef Thread for a few reasons. First, I don’t want to set a precedent. Bletch and I would end up moving tons of stuff there, most of it landing there without context. Second, Jack kinda Schitt on his own thread. I can live with disagreement, but from where I was reading, that looked like an attempt at a burial. I can even live with that; freedom of speech reigns after all, but I’m not going to start slicing and dicing threads just because they don’t go the way the originator wants. I would be here forever, and frankly, it’s editorial responsibility I just can’t be arsed with. Finally, shouldn’t this already be on the Beef Thread, and should have been since Jack’s beefy reply to TedMaul?
May I remind everyone that this isn’t the first time someone has gotten the wrong end of the stick. We’ve seen that happen twice in one thread, we’ve seen it happen before and we’ll see it happen again. The quickest way to end hostility is a bit of humility, a lesson I know all too well.

Me too 
FWIW I’ve generally enjoyed your contributions jack, even if I don’t agree with all you say.
Do think you’ve misjudged Ted a bit here.

Its an attempt to make the thread ‘a sticky’

Pretty much spot on. Except I would go slightly further and say I have enjoyed many of Jack’s posts and have had a decent laugh at quite a few.
But the Ted attack is misjudged, misguided and over the top. Ironic, as the attack would fit right in on the Other Place, but not here Jack, no thanks.
