The Esk in The Echo. I think.

[DerbyshireAndHarper]

No mate sorry I wasn't saying that in argumentative way, just that it won't really bash the forum as it's on the Echo website and to be honest it's pretty puerile stuff that I doubt many would scroll through. I'm sure the Esk will take it that way.

When you write stuff you're subject to feedback, I've had plenty of crushing ridicules over my previews over the years, much of it justified too.

No problem mate. The thing is, very few of the 98 (!) comments are critiquing the actual article. It's mostly coward(s) using fake usernames to have a pop at posters on here who they don't like on this forum, because they know the mods on here won't let them get away with dishing out such abuse on this forum. It's cowardly. And yeah, it's social media etc. Still not very nice.

Nice article. Is Esk no longer a mod on here?

 

[Prevenger17]

Really good article all the same. Apart from the Lukaku bit where Esk is incredibly wrong

If only Esk was mod on the comments section they would swiftly be thread banned. I done what I presume many will do and scrolled a little then got bored quickly. It won't detract from what are some good points he raised.

Come on lads we are better than that comment section. At first I had a chuckle but when words like retard are describing fellow blues boundaries are crossed. Moderators wouldn't accept it on here don't see why we would write it on the rags comment section.

Good piece by the way @theesk

The bungle impersonation (so obviously @Donald Twain btw) is particularly embarrassing. Lowered the tone to an unacceptable level. Shame on you Donald.

Although it is cute to see the Eskimos turn up just in time for January.

Like a great migration the flock follow their leader and face the battles together. Onwards Eskimos, onwards to the promised land.

Sad as well, as Esk was largely very tolerant of Donald

shows how far Dangerous Twain has sunk (again)

Anyway, good article by Esk, hopefully he will get the opportunity for a few more

Vultures, hyenas and Eskimos.

How GOT fills its summer boredom. A worry really.

I just play along bra. I don't get half of it but I enjoy the hysteria.

 

[Moomin]

The comments are taking away what is a very good article, if anything it reflects badly on this forum.

I'm all for a laugh and joke at times but that's too far using other people's names to make posts that are offensive.

You leaving created a monster. Your return has only increased the bellwhiffery.

No, he stopped recently.

GOT shall prevail, always. Even when we're writing cry arse threads saying it used to be better.
