    And now we have J.B. childishly baiting and looking for reactions out of people once more. No doubt he'll also then follow the usual pattern of fluttering his eyelids and pretending to be whiter than white, despite the clear evidence to the contrary.

    Would any thread be complete without it?

    So many want to offer advice to change what I post, but very few want to take advice about themselves. The hypocritical nature of people on here is quite outstanding.

    You didn't really expect to be able to come in here acting all holier than thou and having a go at people for being abusive and not be called up on it given your some of your behaviour on this forum did you?

    The difference is that any outbursts I may have had have been far more isolated, sparse and specific than the quite literally constant, day in, day out, childlike abuse and bullying from the same group of members that repeatedly gets aimed at hb1.

    I'm not perfect, have never claimed to be, but the "but you've been mean too!" argument doesn't hold much weight or make it OK whatever way you want to try and spin it. What are we, 13 years old?

    I don't think you ever actually take issue with other poster's style, so you might be surprised.

    I don't agree with the personal abuse that HB1 receives either. There have been times where people have even made genuine physical threats against him and seemingly nothing has been done about it. However, it's massively hypocritical of you to call for people to be banned when you have yourself been guilty of far worse and mocked me for questioning your name-calling in the past. Your post seems to suggest that it's up to you to decide what sort of 'outbursts' are acceptable, which is frankly ridiculous.

    You have a habit of repeatedly trying to twist absolutely everything I say. In what way, shape or form does my post suggest that I believe I personally should decide what's acceptable and what's not? I didn't. I am, however, allowed to have an opinion on it, that's the entire point of an online forum, so I simply aired my view.

    In recent times there seems to have been an "anything goes" type mentality on here with almost 24/7 targeted abuse, bullying and baiting going either unnoticed or unpunished, and in my opinion it's something that can't carry on the way it is. As clearly already pointed out I'm well aware that I'm not perfect and have been guilty of poor behaviour myself in the past, so that means I receive some form of ban in the future if my own behaviour steps out of line again then I am fine with that, because it's getting absolutely ridiculous on here at this point and something needs to change.

    Much ado about nothing ain't it? Not sure what all the drama's about these last few posts. There's certainly no need for people to pile on HB1.

    No twisting from me at all; it's right here. You are clearly suggesting that it's not as bad when you do it because you apparently make your abuse more isolated and specific (what relevance this has I don't know and I'm sure a lot of posters would disagree with it but whatever). It's obvious that you want one rule for you and those who you agree with and other rule for those who you don't and you can have no complaints when this hypocrisy is pointed out to you NathWatford.

    You lot seriously think we're safe now?

    It's clearly not over. Hull will win their last game 2-0, we're going to lose our last two 0-7, and the Prem are going to deduct us 3 points for the forged HSBC letter. You all have your heads in the sand. Wake up.

    I honestly have no idea why I waste my time engaging with you, you make it up as you go along. It's the same story every time.

    You accuse me of wanting one rule for me and another for others, all the while completely ignoring the part right below the bit you've put into bold where I quite clearly state "I'm well aware that I'm not perfect and have been guilty of poor behaviour myself in the past, so that means I receive some form of ban in the future if my own behaviour steps out of line again then I am fine with that".

    Edit: I see you've liked the post calling me a "witless terd". Good work. Highlights your own level of maturity.

    Well I for one am excited. Third season in the PL now confirmed, and the club now has to seriously up its game.

    I think the league will be stronger next year, and the club needs to improve in fitness, players, and tactics. Plenty of things to talk about, and if we end up in mid-table obscurity it will be a huge job well done.

    Which you only started saying after being caught out. You have mocked people in the past for making a stand against abusive behaviour, how can you possibly expect a different reaction when you do the same, especially with your track record?

    Don't worry about that, J.B is finally going on the ignore list. 8 years of his constant baiting, selective reading and twisting of words and situations is more than enough for me.

    True but we would now be ok with just a -10 goal difference deduction, now it would have to be real points !

    As most sensible people knew along, 35 points was always going to be enough this year.

    Well done Walter. The 'difficult second season' has been successfully negotiated. Those that have always supported you and the team can celebrate a job well done, while the weak-kneed, pant-wetters among our fan base can relax and start to dry their undies. I am sure 2017/18 will see WM emerge as a beautiful swan, speaking perfect English and blowing kisses to the needy, as the team reach ever greater heights under he and Gino's expert guidance

    I've not at any point said we're going down. I do, however, stand by my opinion that Mazzarri is absolutely f**king clueless and that this season has seen us regress in every department, hence my continued, vocal disappointment.

    Oh, and thanks for being the embodiment of the sort of posts I've been referring to. "Pond dwellers", wow, good one there pal...
