[Thurnscoe_OWL]

Well after Pei's and Maddix's recent posts I suppose as moderator I have to jump in and in my best Scouse accent say "Calm down, calm down!!"  And in best Owlstalk manner I also need to point out "WAWAW".  So consider those done!!!

But can I also add in my best SCO impersonation let's keep it civil and not get personal, let's disagree with humility, respect and grace, let's win with joy and lose with despair, let's stop Imre and Stateside from slitting their wrists during the match when we concede a corner, let's accept that Madsteve is a tough bastard with his ratings, that Consilio is a blue tinted glass half full person with everything Wednesday, that Daffodils doesn't post enough jokes these days, that Thurnscoe is clearly under the thumb, that Jacko is too new to the site to know how we argue on here and that Washington is a twat simply because he has three days in Paris this week followed by a trip to Rome on top of his being at S6 for a 4-0 trouncing!!!!

But most of all to Maddix, Pei is old enough to be your Dad, and has the senility to prove it!!  He is an old man of many routines like dinner at set times, no coffee past midday, naps in the afternoon and early to bed with his dreams of Canadian women from the past, but most of all he is solid in his conviction that Nuhiu is simply not his sort of player!!  But in his own inimitable way he will keep harping on about it, it makes him different from us and because he comes from a prior century from the rest of us his humour is sometimes simply lost on us just like life when he grew up without electricity or smartphones would be lost on us!!!

And Pei, we are young, we are anarchistic, we are impressionable and we are keyboard warriors!!!  We use words we may never use in person when describing our feelings and situations!!  We have lots to still learn such as Bronco Layne hated being called Bronco and England's World Cup winning side would have contained Ron Springett and Peter Swann under different circumstances but we still see you as our "Dad" and consequently as Kevin the Teenager always said, occasionally "You are ruining our life" and while we are still too immature to admit it we really do love you, but you have to let us reach that maturity for us to fully appreciate you!!!

We really are a small family on here, we will argue at times but like family we should be prepared to forgive as well!!!  Please let's remember that!!

Im not under anyone's thumb and am going to go and hide away cos you said something I disagree with ( agree with everything else though  )
