    You may be right there KGT. :p The reasons are stated in the post. Even the best make mistakes like dear old GT. He however was enough of a man to admit that he did. If Nostradamus think's he's so good then he ought to try and get himself a job as a scout instead of constantly berating and belittling others on here. Let's not forget a couple of posters gave up posting because of his behaviour. Which has not altered one iota in the interim.

    No that's not possible. Smudge is a neutral mod/referee, he'd never take sides in an argument :).

    Looking at it again, I thought you were being sarcastic!

    He groups Louza in with Sarr and Hauge - the sarcasm part of the post is in the irony of having supposedly good creative players putting balls on a plate for the dud that is "AFletch".

    Interesting move. Reading will be one of the favourites to bounce straight back up next season, and Wilder would be a good man to lead them. I expect he will be out of Watford pretty sharpish anyway, so we can get our first of three managers in for next season.

    Nixon posted on Twitter "Wilder in frame for Reading". I didn't say he was definitely joining, I just said he was going to Reading according to Alan Nixon.

    Him "in frame" is again not the same as "he [is] going to"; you're misrepresenting what Nixon and the article said. You didn't quality your comment by saying he might be going to, or Reading want him to go to, you stated "Wilder is going to Reading".


    Where even is this tweet by Nixon btw? Please provide the exact direct link.

    I just thought it might interest people. That's why I posted it. Nothing more deeper than that. If I worded it incorrectly, I sincerely apologise to anyone who was offended or mislead. That wasn't my intention.

    Thank You for sharing the link. I hadn't seen the story so I was interested to read the speculation. It's always useful when forum members share news items this way.

    Perhaps a sensationalist spin that he is going to them might sound more interesting, but accurately representing the story in that Reading are only eyeing him up would have been better in accurately starting a reasonable discussion on the topic.

    Skyla already appeared to be fooled by your inaccurate wording, for instance.

    As I said, I sincerely apologise for any distress caused. Maybe the mods can delete or reword the offending item.

    This is what I meant yesterday @a19tgg more so than anything else. Genuinely don’t want to hijack another thread and be ironically boring as these arguments but surely we can all agree this is awfully pedantic?

    It's clearly not when it had already understandably misled one poster in to thinking he was definitely joining them when he isn't it (yet).

    No need, it's not as though each member is a walking thesaurus and sometimes things are said slightly out of term or mis-judged on a first glance. HB1 apologised for his mistake, that's the end of the matter.

    Yes I wholeheartedly agree, but LR is on another level of pedantry and is responsible for a large degree of this on every thread.

    Doesn’t really matter though, does it? It’s a forum where we all speculate about stuff. You could see from the link what was actually said. If Skyla, or anyone else, slightly misunderstood at first glance, is it the end of the world?

    I think it was a bit tongue in cheek tbf as it was obvious what Knight GT was referring to. But let’s all draw a line under this now, shall we?
