I'm going to need a better reply than that if we're to make this board a success, old bean.

There's a petition, run by a certain Portsmouth-based poster, to get me back posting on the CityIndependent site, after a period spent in the wilderness.

I'm world-renown for generating forum discussions. Hot commodity, my son. Look at the CityIndependent site - when I first joined it, it was two chavs posting from an internet cafe discussing which pub to meet in before away games. It now has 12 regular posters discussing a huge range of topics such as attendance figures, potential signings and pie temperatures and generates 42 hits a day.
