    It does seem to be going through a slow lingering death.

    Guess cause our footy is getting better we have nothing to complain about and many of us are reluctant at the moment to lavish praise on toady, especially as Nolan is fit.

    Which leads to a point someone else raised, with Kouyate and Noble out he is bound to be in which has given Samantha the excuse of including him. The question will always be " Would he if the other two were fit. ?! " We will see when the other are ready to go.

    I think the reason why this and other boards are on the decline is because of Facebook and Twitter. They have football club pages on there with lots and lots of members chatting about all sorts of football related issues.
    Im not a member on KUMB or WHO but I would imagine their traffic has reduced somewhat too

    Its just had its day..Sadly!

    It's a shame about the site because I've always enjoyed it on here but I've definitely found myself posting more on other forums during the last six months as there's a bit more tolerance for differing opinions. Over the last year there have been far too many posters trying to dictate what others should be posting, I've been told to cut down my anti-Sam or pro-Ravel posts on numerous occasions (and not by the moderators either) and then there's the

    Its not just our forum its the whole of the website and all its forums. Spurs forum has no one, Chelsea's has no one etc etc etc etc. We arent even getting any new posters signing up.

    They truly have fu(ked up the site.

    It is slower to load and respond.
    Too many ads.
    Crass and unbelievably dumb decisions like allowing embedded ads to automatically start playing, with a soundtrack which gets so on my t1ts I can't tell you. If I want a soundtrack to play, I'll fu(king play it thank you. (luckily they seemed to have stopped this now).
    The dreadful sh1te at the bottom of the screen with the top ten bikinis or some such b0llocks.
    The appalling swear filter. It doesn't stop people swearing, it just makes them use brackets and deliberate misspelling instead. Pointless.
    And, of course, the "Cannot Reply" nonsense. If you wish to make a forum unusable, that is a very good method to adopt.

    The site is also very often susceptible to hijack - taking the user, unbidden, to some online gaming site or other. It ONLY happens with this site. I have never had it with any other, and it happens on PC, Tablet and Phone.

    I spend less time on here, often because I can't be ar5ed with

    But i dont use it.


    I know what you mean in your other posts, and if getting behind the team means tolerating sh1 te then we are nothing more than sheep.

    Like you say, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and sometimes not all agree. Things can be seen from different view points. Am i a kvnt for thinking Samantha is a one trick pony and couldnt careless about anything other than himself?! NO! mistaken maybe, but i could just as easily be right, and its my opinion until proved otherwise. Actions will dictate, and not someones insistance that hoofing the ball is football.

    Sometimes also things said are misunderstood and taken the wrong way. I have seen this on many occasions and it has lead to arguments.

    Some thing some people like, and those same things others don`t, it`s a varied

    Yes, that bugs me also, i hate things being thrust down my throat,( and theres no hidden meaning for those that are looking. ) and those ads in the middle of peoples posts achieve nothing but annoyance, i couldnt even one of them, maybe under hypnosis but for sure not now.
