Hard to fathom Torquay's recruitment strategy sometimes - 30 plus games for a Football League outfit but can't fit into a non-league, bottom of the table, club.

Really saw too little of him to make a judgement, but the bit we did he didn’t seem to be what we need in our situation shall we say - being polite!

Did he say Reece Mitchell was a 'great' player, I seem to remember him saying he was a 'pacey player'. That's not one and the same thing. Did he really say Barnum Bob was a 'world class player'. Whilst I find that hard to believe, I stand to be corrected if you can support and corroborate your assertions with specific examples.

You have issues about Nicholson - yet make references when it suits you to things that he confided in you - but you constantly make excuses for Owers when in fact his record both regarding players and results is arguably worse than that of his predecessor. You love to criticise the performances of specific players even when you have not attended the games in question and you constantly hurl insults at anyone who dares to disagree with you, particularly if they manage to get under that infamously thick skin that you proudly proclaim that you have. In short you are the epitome of hypocrisy - the archetypal playground bully who metamorphosed into a grumpy old man half a century later - a latter day Sun King revelling in his own self adulation, demanding absolute adoration from all and sundry and throwing a temper tantrum when he doesn't get it ( a sort of North London parody of a North Korean dictator ).
It's good to know that I have progressed from a mere baboon to a "supernatural being, giant or friendly but mischievous dwarf" (the Oxford Dictionary definition of a troll) although I confess that I was unaware that either could be found in or crawling out of woodwork: still I bow to your superior Natural History knowledge, which is doubtless as extensive and infallible as your wisdom in matters pertaining to football. I had feared that you may have indulged in more imaginative insults - I would hate to be described as the pip beneath your denture or the boil upon your arse - but I should have realised that someone who cannot appreciate the nuances of irony or satire really would not have the wit to be imaginative: it's not just your skin that's thick is it Merse?
It's a pity that you are such a windbag Merse as some of your points are worthwhile; it's just that finding them is like looking for diamonds in a dung heap. It's only a suggestion, but perhaps you could preface your postings with some form of Invective Alert or Content Value Rating ( a scale from Young Rant to Old Codger's Opinion might be appropriate ): BOLD CAPITALS would be a good start ..........
