Fine. You clearly have no conscience...although I'm not surprised by that, and feel you can do what you like however unjust. Just be prepared to accept the consequences of winding people up and p*ssing them off. In the end you'll wonder why... all this for a simple comment on a blog. But it's the decison you made. You started this, make sure you remember that.

Actually Iain, I said the tone of his post was almost psychotic. I was talking about the tone of his post, not him. Even then, my exact words were "The tone of your above post is quite worrying actually. It's almost psychotic". I am sure you know what 'almost' means. That is completely different to what you said: "A commenter in the previous thread called SJ “psychotic”. Clearly misleading.

You're claiming the moral high-ground here yet you make flagrant statements like that that will no doubt incite people against me who will just believe what you've written. I'm not sure if you're man enough to apologise, but let's see if you're man enough to correct yourself and live up to the standards you profess.

Good point about Hearn's argument. It should be dismissed without question. In fact, if our atmosphere is rubbish, he may even see hammers fans turning up at his games! :)

And we don't all believe they aren't TIS. Dont get upset by it mate. You need to take on the points, make the argument tell us if there's something we dont know.

All this thing that people are negative is just crazy. We just have genuine concerns. It's not being negative.

To be honest Aussie, I was surprised Iain made that decision but it's up to him I guess. Maybe Iain could have offered more direction, I don't know.

And yes, there is nothing wrong with splitting up your posts Chandos. Writing about so many subjects in one post is why they're fairly lengthy. A paragraph or two on one subject more frequently isn't bad advice to take on board. And you don't have to be strict and conventional in your articles' structure as you touched on above. Blogging is not like that. Take Iain's posts as example. They can even be just a paragraph. There doesn't have to be a introduction, a for, a against, a discussion and then a conclusion. So if you're saying you're bound by that, you're not.

That's a poor attitude Chandos. You need to get a thicker skin mate and try to take people's criticism on board and not ignore it. You don't write for yourself, despite what you may think, you write for this audience and you should listen to it.

The tone of your above post is quite worrying actually. It's almost psychotic. You criticise everyone else about their dichotomous thinking but you display it quite clearly yourself when you say "I will write what I like and I will make it as long as I like. Full stop. Understand? No one, but no one, dictates to me about the content or length of my peices [sic]". I think if you want to write publicly, you should be prepared to be criticised. There's no point crying about it.

The debate on the post which you refer to was lovely to see. There were no insults, but people putting their views with good reasoning, something you have issue with.

I think there are a lot of bloggers that bring valuable debate to this blog who do not always agree with what you or Iain say. Here you have painted them...or tarnished them, all with the same brush.

Birzo,
I hope that G& are as sly with others as they are with us. What I mean by this is that they have a plan to remove the track in the future through some Machiavellian manner. I'm not the only one who thinks this may happen, as apparently Spurs are seeking assurances that we will not remove the track in the future.

Whether they will bother or just settle for what they get, I'm not sure.

As long as you're back here in 2014 Dave.

Chris, I share your anger. The naivety of everyone involved initially with the Olympic stadium is astounding. If football was not going to fill it, what was? They should have considered this from the outset.

As for temporary seating mate, that is no-no right from the off. The reason is that you'd have to place them in front of the permanent seats which have a set gradient (slope). Hence, views will be blocked.

Dave,
The inner rings of seating are permanent. What are the architects going to do? You have to remove these if you want to install retractable seating. We don't have to be architects to understand that. They are not going to be replaced of course.

Put their money where their mouth is? They bought half the club...the minimum, just enough to take control, just enough so that could do what they wanted to (get the OS. sell Upton Park). Skimping on players signings and loans. Never addressing issues early enough until recently when relegation has become a reality, when Keane, Ba and Bridge were brought in...probably too late.

If they really cared for the club, they would have let Fernandes buy it....that's 100% of it. They're in it for other things.

I have a right to be critical of Gold and Sullivan.
