It's not that hard, problem is that because if the stupid permission rules on this forum, post 08 members can't open threads in certain places. And Mike, of course, doesn't really give a **** anymore.
Oh I know, and agree (though not as aggressively). (IMG:

Thing is I know how to open threads, I opened countless ones before, even match threads which are a tad more technical and filled them with all sorts of statistical info before in the first post. (IMG:

But I stopped creating new threads after Paolo Maldini retired, and I vowed not to create them until there is another Maldini playing in Milan. At least, not match threads, other ones I may open in the future if I feel like. (IMG:

Blue is absolutely great with opening match threads of players, particularly youngsters. (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) He probably has the keenest interest in the technicalities of the game of any members here, so he keeps tabs on talent. That is why I wanted him to do the honors, as I was sure he'll create an informative player thread.
I mean, he crated one for Thiago Silva when he first signed for us, and look where that took us!
