I'd love more spam on the forums tbh.

You are everything wrong with the VHL, I now understand why eaglesfan is so persistent in trying to ban you.

I almost liked it damn it! Its a disease!

It has long been swirling in my mind but a brief run-in with @Knight of all people in the chat consolidated one thought: Likes and chat are a detriment to VHL activity. It is no secret that now 48 seasons in, the VHL is not as active as it once was. Although also not quite as inactive as it briefly was once but that's a whole different story. The move to this, third website, slowed things down briefly but then bounced back with the S40 draft and for 4-5 seasons after that. Recently, activity has gone downhill again. Now, likes are not a new addition to the VHL but they weren't really a thing before this website, so S35. There was no like system on the very first website (S1-S23) and a pretty shitty one on the second, which meant that if people did appreciate a post they usually quoted it or replied with a or Not brilliant activity but it was something. However, likes are very rewarding and ego-stroking, so I can't pinpoint the issue on them. The real culprit is chat. Now, chat is actually an older beast than likes, or at least likes in their current form. We had some form of the Facebook chat thing at the bottom since the start of the 2nd site in S24 until it got murdered for reasons when this site got upgraded. The replacement is less than satisfactory – you can still chat to people individually but only if they're in the big chatbox. And if they're in the big chatbox, they're too busy chatting shit that they could really be posting on the boards. So I propose we murder chat and likes. #MAKEVHLGREATAGAIN

Oh he's a well-known douche.

someone had to start it!

Well it's only after Saturday that this season became absolutely nothing to play for. I have hope Hiddink will change things now. If you take the loan empire, guys like Solanke, Brown at Vitesse, Musonda in Spain somewhere, Pasalic in Monaco, Christensen in Gladbach, hell even Moses I think is still Chelsea owned, there's quite a bit of potential. Just gotta use it for once and not sell it (even if I thought Lukaku and De Bruyne deals looked good at the start). Conte seems to be incoming manager and he achieved great results with what was at first a limited squad at Juve (in 11-12). I agree with Europa League being a questionable goal, as especially without European commitments and given the overall weakness of the league's top teams, 1st place should be the target next season

until we find someone as good at scoring goals, worth it. And that's no guarantee without Europe next season. Although we can hope Traore is the new Drogba.

A bigger troll than Mike's original S47 predictions

what idiots predict a player with 90 checking to get most sportsmanlike

Von Braxton is a hard name lol?

Yes

It's all about the historical tendencies of how the sim extrapolates TPE to build to linemate ratios into methodical results while taking into account team quality and how teams of comparable levels have performed previously. Is that not how everyone computes award predictions?

To be honest it could still be MEWE for all we know.

I'd say the main edge is Sinclair but this game had little to do with him. Davos is definitely not THAT much better.

What is a Rickon? Never heard of such a thing.

And then they were like, why are people predicting Clegane for Shaw? Great game Stockholm and Smarch.

Even at their lowest point, Davos refuses to be worse than Riga.

The gauntlet has well and truly been thrown down.

DAV D2 is playmaker supreme. Nice stuff Wasty and Kylrad.

One season of being ahead of the show has made me weak. I am afraid.

Remember when Munk spoke English?

Uh oh, I feel Bentley might make it into the unlucky six.

Riga has Toast's guy too so S49.
