Aye, Jame Gumb turned out to be Sean Bateman, so he won't be coming back here. Can we avoid discussion if possible please, I'd rather the debacle is left behind us.

@Blatter: He used a new account to cirvumvent a ban, that's a ban according to sitewide policy.

Ah damn. Would love to discuss it a bit. Shocked I am. Great spot by a few posters.

Almost sounds scary GK, an alter ego type spook. Thankfully you nailed him ;-)

Why do you think we all want a CM????

its not down to a cm at all
none of the strikers or midfielders press up to the oposition
they just sit back & let teams attack
which makes it easy for them to get into the final third

I don't mind a little discussion, but I don't want anything drawn out, becoming an argument or getting people infracted is all.

Back on topic, can I just clarify that I think Nani's corner taking last week was brutal, as do most even-minded contributors. I was making a more general point, not specifically about Nani, (who is our best winger imo, and I would hate to see him leave), but corner takers in general.

Whipping in corners and not beating the first man, while not in the slightest bit acceptable when done repeatedly, can be understandable, though no less frustrating to us supporters.

Probably has a few more accounts too.

lol, it was obviously him. His posting style was so unique and it was the exact same.

Thing is, I'd prefer if he wasn't banned. He wasn't trolling this time around, he was a very good contributor.

Aye,same, I didn't like Sean Bateman at all, but Jame Gumb was a decent poster

LostBoy101 · 27-08-2012 10:43PM

Who is this Sean Bateman chap?

Ya, it was spotted by a few posters a while back. He (as Jame Gumb) started out very well and made a lot of sense. More lately however, he did go a bit 'Bateman'. I was reading a thread in the golf forum earlier, and well..... :rolleyes:

GSPfan · 27-08-2012 10:47PM

Come on, Who called it first??????? Who thought Jame Gumb was Sean? Fair play to anyone who spotted it. The sacred cow thing was spotted by someone?

Don't wanna go off topic but this is funny stuff.

He was grand when there was nothing going on, flipped the lid when we were beaten by Everton. But overall he was far less trolly and more respectable for the first few weeks this time, maybe next time it will stick

A few other phrases like ''move heaven and earth'', ''It's not like I'm saying that the world is flat'', the layout of his posts, the manner in which he worded things - it was just so obvious to me anyway.

Mikeyt086 · 27-08-2012 10:58PM

Referenced to Hernandez as "The mexican" and had ruled him a failure before he played a game for the club.

That was a good one.

DM_7 · 27-08-2012 11:02PM

I saw it anyway but as there was no melt down this time calling everyone clowns etc found it less annoying and could pay attention to the more interesting posts

also re Nani's corners. They do suck and nobody is going to go mental defending him, agree with alproctors last post on the topic.

That's fair enough, but at the same time I thought I remembered reading before (from an Admin in a feedback thread) that a blind eye is often turned to users that returned under a new name and changed their ways, and that there's no problem with that.

It mightn't be a bad idea to let the admins know that he had improved significantly as a poster. Although it might be difficult to let him back in now that it's publicly known that he was Bateman...

I really hope this is true :pac:

Fergie car ban! United boss puts his foot down on young players

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has banned the club's young stars from driving flashy sports cars from new sponsors Chevrolet.
United recently signed a multi-million-pound deal with the American car giant, who will become the name on the club's shirts from the start of the 2014-15 season.

Ban: The Manchester Untied boss has put his foot down on young players

As a gesture of goodwill, Chevrolet immediately offered United's first-team stars a choice of luxury cars and understandably many of the club's big names plumped for iconic Corvettes.

Stalled: United's youngsters won't be driving one of these
However, Sportsmail understands Ferguson immediately intervened and decreed that no player under the age of 23 - no matter their standing in the team - should be allowed to order a sporty model.
This means players such as young striker Danny Welbeck, 21, and defenders Phil Jones, 20, Chris Smalling, 22, and Rafael, 22, will be banned from driving anything not approved by Ferguson.
The move is a classic case of Ferguson - the master man-manager - ensuring his young stars don't get too big for their boots.
Ferguson has always been hot on matters such as this.
Two years ago, for example, it emerged he told players in the club's youth squads they were not allowed to wear coloured football boots.
Last night a United spokesperson confirmed: 'As with most automotive partnerships, Chevrolet will be offering players a car. The model will be dependent on their time at the club and driving experience.'

that was conno16 I think.

Patsy fyre · 27-08-2012 11:03PM

Was he conno 16 as well?

Topic; surprised spurs haven't come in for berbatov considering their lack of strikers. I also think he would do well at arsenal!

and im pretry sure theres another rereg about also ;-) have to laugh, when the trolls are called out on being frauds, people slag off the regular posters for doing so and backing up these lads as offering a different opinion, but normally people are able to get it spot on and see through the crap.

Also starting posts with '@', rather than quoting to reply....
Couple posters had him nailed from very early on...

If I'm honest it was Beasty, one of the Sports CMods who got him.

A number of clubs need a striker and I can't figure out why they are not looking for Berbatov. He would be available for a cheap fee I reckon and he would be fair enough about wages as i'd say he wants to play.

GSPfan · 27-08-2012 11:16PM

Jame is doing his best to be let back in. If we didn't lose any more games and he didn't go into meltdown then he'd be grand!

UPDATE: Looks like Jame Gumb will be no more, but Sean Bateman will be allowed back in at some stage. The Drama of it all.

I kinda figured it is Berbatov who is holding out for a good club. Doubt he will stay in England. I'd say he will be in the Champions League but with a foreign club. Would love him at Ac Milan.

G.K. · 27-08-2012 11:23PM

Keep Berbatov and play him at CB is what I'd do. You'll need the cover and we know he can play there. :pac:
