By domino Go To PostI quite enjoy his Portugal updates I actually know more about that league than the abyss or the PSG Invitational bc of him
By inky Go To PostI don't understand why people get mad we post about United. Wooden used to fill threads with DEP and FCK gifs and nobody left over it.
Like domino says, post about your teams? Martins does, the Arsenal lads are enjoying their season. United lads get absolutely rekt with banter, particularly after a massive loss like yesterday's and I don't se anyone #leaving over it.
By Cleff Go To PostI like Martins posts. Gives good insight into a league I don't know much about.
By Daz Go To PostI have on occasion. But only for predatory and selfish reasons.
I said "who replies?". As in, something that would generate discussion.
By inky Go To PostI don't understand why people get mad we post about United. Wooden used to fill threads with DEP and FCK gifs and nobody left over it.because it was one dude lmao
this thread is mostly united fans anyway, you can see why people would be bored about the same subjects and tweets every single day
I'm not complaining, idgaf, I'm just saying.
I like writing man red as often as possible anyway, brings me back to simpler times
to happier times
when football was ALIVE
By Punished Go To PostAlonsoball? Isn't he that basketball player?!Liverpool legend playing some interesting football and absolutely nobody cares. Sad....
I only read Martins’ post in the hope of some heartbreaking anecdote in the middle where his flatmate fingers his dog or something and it reminds him of a Macy Grey b-side
By Willkiller Go To PostI said "who replies?". As in, something that would generate discussion.None of us watch the Portuguese league. What would we reply with?
Martin's posts are mostly his thoughts on the state of the league, its issues, the top players and sporting Lisbon.
They're meant to be more informative than they are meant to interacted with.
Honestly, how do you expect us to engage with posts about the Japanese league if only one or two people here watch it?

No one is mad 💀 Please
Ok I'll boil it down even further because this is apparently difficult.
Back on Gaf there was fans of a ton of clubs. There was 4 or 5 Newcastle alone compared to just me here. There was the Bayern boys, the Juve boys, loads more Liverpool fans, more Chelsea fans, couple of Dortmund boys, etc. Fans of all sorts of clubs. There was a lot of Man U fans but there was enough fans of other clubs that it wasn't the only thing that dominated the threads there.
If someone, say Wooden, wants to talk about Copenhagen then this probably isn't the place for him any more because there just aren't enough people interested to have a discussion with. It's not a criticism of you United boys, it's just a side effect of having a relatively very small forum.

No, I wouldn't expect that at all. For the exact reasons you said...
The reasons you said is exactly why people have left, there just isn't a big enough community outside of a very small handful of clubs. Some people are fine with that. I am, Martins obviously is because he continues to post despite getting very little engagement, more power to him. But if he stopped...well I'd understand it.
Again...not a criticism. It's just how it is now.
too bad we never figured a way to bring more people to slaent. Still pretty surprised we didn't get a few leaving purple for here given how awful that place is
All of you gaslighting Martins into posting more about the Portuguese league should be ashamed.
There's a reason why I don't post about the Belgian league, it's trash and no one cares.
Bring back Kyoufu innit.

By sohois Go To Posttoo bad we never figured a way to bring more people to slaent. Still pretty surprised we didn't get a few leaving purple for here given how awful that place isI think Reddit and Discord has more or less eaten the lunch now.
Which is a big shame because the general Soccer reddit is a cesspit, the club specific ones are echo chambers and Discord is simply not a replacement for how a forum flows.
I miss how busy GAF was. Great community. Miss a lot of the old heads.
But those of you who are still here and in the Whatsapp, I’ve now been talking to you for over a decade. I’ll talk to you lot until you tear my phone from my cold dead hands.

A lot of people just grow out of posting, or their team starts to face adversity and they get tired of getting clowned every weekend. Like Juventus.
I don't buy that no one is mad. Some people are. Some people have left on mad fits too.
I understand the small community angle, and I do get it, I don't post about Liga MX because no one cares unless it's Koko bantering my team.
But this thread has hardly ever been a conversation on the wider reaches of the sport. I get uniteders can get grating with the transfer news and formations, but also know that there are more non-uniteders to make conversation with on other topics too and that's what I don't get.
People want to be read and it's hard when there more of one team, I get it. But engagement goes both ways.

By Daz Go To PostNone of us watch the Portuguese league. What would we reply with?Pretty much this. If people interact, great. I'm still going to post it because it's interesting to some of you and I enjoy writing them.

By Perfect Blue Go To PostHitch has said before he posts in the ResetERA footie thread… I don't even want to know how terrible it is there.Bungle posts there too iirc
I take that one personally
Reckon this place was healthier when there was an exodus, unless people want to start inviting or poaching people from Reset, the numbers will keep dwindling down.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostHitch has said before he posts in the ResetERA footie thread… I don't even want to know how terrible it is there.The amount of posts in our February thread and on the first 6 days of this thread are close to the amount of replies on the Football Era thread that was created at the start of August.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostHitch has said before he posts in the ResetERA footie thread… I don't even want to know how terrible it is there.Never posted in there, took a look a few months ago and it seemed shit.
@inky, not everything that is mildly annoying makes people mad. Wading through Man Utd formations and transfer gossip in here are the equivalent of having to put the bins out.
Bend It Like Beckham has aged quite well, largely because it doesn't focus on the actual football. Watched it just a few weeks ago.
Seriously, imagine posting in a football thread on a forum where people throw their toys out the pram over the slightest antagonism.
By inky Go To PostBungle posts there too iircConsidering the quality of Bungie's posts, that is if anything a compliment to you.

Time is literally a flat circle.

I try to care about La Liga and even MLS but there’s so much football, it’s not like any other sport. It’s already hard enough to fit the time for two/three matches in my week. I do like the updates from different leagues/teams.

By Hixx Go To Postwhatever happened to keira knightley btwJust checked her filmography
a great face. one of the greatest of all time perhaps.
Haven't heard of anything she's been in besides PotC since 2014

I don't really care what people post about here, at this point you guys have all joined me and become old. Even the "youngsters" like Bacon are 45 now.
We have Pedri. Goat completed football. Madrid fans disappeared. Arsenal are going to win the league.
Life is good.
