    Dear Soccerlenser,

    I realize that football is a very passionate subject and that we sometimes need to vent our frustrations about our team's lack of performance; I realize that we do feel the need to attack our arch-rivals and their clubs. I know. I have been a football fan for too long to think that one day even one football fan can be free of bias.

    As a result of this most of the discussion on the forum is very passionate. I do, however fear that it might soon become too passionate and that the harmony might be broken. In order to prevent this I ask of you - as a personal request - that you refrain from attacking without provocation.

    I am talking especially about myself, Rhian and Ahmed Shah, but also about other members of the forum. We all love our clubs and we want to defend them, but we will not manage to do so by attacking other members on the forum; this forum was created for football discussion and argumentation.

    To conclude, I am not trying to ban passionate discussion, all I want to do is keep the forum free of interpersonal wars and focused on disagreements with regards to football only (plus whatever RQ decides is the off-topic of the week :) ).

    Thank you for your attention,
    Andrei

    PS I would like to apologize to Rhian for calling him "drunk" on one of the threads. Looking back to it, I realize that I did go over the line.

    Cue the Nani jokes...

    Well said Andrei. I'd add to this by saying that we should also refrain from 'provoking' opposition fans for any reason, whether it's joy at seeing their team lose or just to get a reaction for laughs.

    to the forum too, did i offend anyone, on my part i try not to go overboard, but i may feel that i did not cross the line, but to another person he/she may feel otherwise.

    Regardless of club support, did i make anyone mad? as i have said, even if i did support a club, i try to make unbias comments.

    Anyway I'm sorry if I make you all hurt and angry with me on this forum...

    mufan's utter lack of knowledge of English makes his joke all the funnier. Haha!!

    I don't think that anybody has upset or made anyone else angry YET. That was the point of this, to prevent making other members angry or upset...

    lol, this is aimed at those of us who squabble a lot, plus a few newcomers who take after rhian and raed in their brand of baiting the opposition.

    me, rhian, raed, bobo, xerx, andrei even - we all need to check ourselves now and then.

    There's sometimes a very fine line between fun, sarcasm, ranking and outright viciousness. Let's not get too boring and vanilla, but a bit of respect can't hurt.

    I STILL MISS NOBBY & BOBBY!!!

    indeed indeed.....i respect the other members believe it or not but i just love going after them too...can't help it some times....it isn't a personal attack so son't expect me to talk about your mom or your wife or your upbringing....but i will go after your club.

    outside of football i enjoy talking aout mundane everyday topics...marriage would have been cool but i don't think i have anyone in here outside of bobo who might have experince in that field :lol:

    ohh and if you did call me drunk well i didn't know becuz i wasn't particularly paying attention and even if i was i don't think i would have taken it personally

    i'm too old for that...the only time something really offended me was when someone said something about my marriage or my wife...couldn't exactly remember what it was and who said it but that was the only time.

    nothing you say about chelsea offends me per se...its football and so i expect ppl to say all sorts of shit about players and clubs...i am not affected by opinions becuz that's all we ever give at the end of the day...

    i am affected by actual realities...if my team loses or we lose a player...now that hurts...but not what these guys here say...talk is cheap as i have learned over my 30 years on the planet....what you do is where the attention really is.

    Rhian, I understand your point of view because I have a similar one, however, we must realize that it is not what we mean to say that really matters; it is what the other people think you meant to say - that is why we need to be careful, not call anybody a boob because they do not agree with 'Chelsea is the yard stick of football' philosophy and stop calling various United fans "the worst of them all" or "biased", because we are all biased and you and I set the bar for bias-ness.

    someone made a joke about your marriage / wife, then it was either me or bobo, because to be honest i don't think anyone else here has the balls to do that stuff :)

    And you know i'm just messing with you :P

    Me? Bait? No my friend, I don't bait. I genuinely have hatred for United, Barca, Madrid. All other clubs i care not about unless they play Arsenal. I have many friends who support United and I remember clearly first thing I said to them when I found out was Fuck you. Go rot in hell. Its true. I really don't give a cock about chelsea. no offense rhain, i'll fight you anyday. :D

    Don't worry, Raed. At the end of the season we'll buy you a nice mop and bucket for your tears. I envy you your pride in supporting the greatest selling club in the world!
