I also agree that the league and teams have become a bit too predictable now. Like, I’m watching the City v Everton game now and there’s nothing worth posting about because City are comfortably strolling to victory by playing beautiful football. Which they do every week.
Agree. Think we should put it to the vote unless anyone can give a good reason as to not.
I will create a thread over the weekend at some point unless anyone else does in the interim.
Combining them isn’t likely to result in an increase in posting, but will result in snarky “who cares” posts when fans of lower league teams post.
One of Karl and Gecko’s wishes is for people to create more threads, rather than just having megathreads, there’s no real reason not to have two football threads.
That's pretty much how I got treated when I dared to mention something non-EFL related in the Football League thread in a discussion at the start of this season. Whilst not excusing my overreaction (or, indeed, the overly territorial ganging up that happened to me), that argument would not have happened if we'd had one thread. I genuinely think there'd be no problem having one thread, snarky posts are routine forum etiquette issues and I really don't think you'd have any.
I'd actually wager Karl and GG want us to sack off football on the forum altogether and stop bothering them with our threads
