Can we please ban people posting unrealistic hopes before games. Stuff like

I hope Shay Given saves 3 penalties while Ben Davies gets 2 assists for Pablo Hernandez in tonights game

*

It was somewhat funny maybe the first thousand times it was done but has worn thin now.
Also I always wonder why people tend to stop at '3' in these fantasy posts, why not just say 90, one a minute. Kind of akin to that stupid 'he scores when he waaaaaaaants' chant. Surely he'd score all the time?

Ye probably cant ban it but its a pet peeve of mine and felt like voicing it anyway :P. No biggie

* not an actual quote

Hoping that Swansea goal tonight will be canceled so I can get my clean sheet bonus for Enrique.

:P

Personally I have money on a Mignolet hat trick.

Seriously though I think it is still just a bit of fun, like all the Mickey Turner love. Maybe 'all' is a bit kind though :pac:

Ah I know Donál, and the thread is very tongue in cheek.

But the 'fun' is gone out of it now.

Hold on, you want to make it against the charter and thus ban people who express unrealistic football hopes.

Do you understand football?

Knitting forum is that way

As another aside, could I suggest an off-topic thread for this forum? There's good craic here so might be worth a shot to make the place more like a community.

Why not just start it? I don't think anyone would object.

In fairness, those posts are just a bit of fun by people on a boring afternoon like yesterday when you are waiting for the Monday night game to end the week.

I generally think it's a good idea to ask the forum mod before doing something like that.

You generally think that? There are other days when you wake up with a whole new perspective on the topic?

Yes, clearly.

Don't ask don't get. Remember the guy who freaked over everyone abusing Rafa Benitez? Never again was the fat Spanish waiter mentioned.
