When they refer to their team. How the hell does anyone know who they are talking about, specialy when their sig don't give a hint. 'We are going to get so and so player.' who are you exactly? Your post make no sense otherwise. Is it so hard to say the full name?
 
Most people on here know who most people support anyway but i can see why it would be annoying

Although there is a thread at the top that lists who everyone supports :)
 
I say 'we' all the time and i can see how some of the non-regulars may find it confusing without my sig. I'll try to say Liverpool in future :)
 
I try and avoid using it where possible myself (unless I have previously referred to the club) but it doesn't really bother me. Most of the time you can infer which team people are talking about.

Most of us know you support Spurs
 
pretty poor there.

i'm guilty of saying we quite a lot. i think it's just when i'm posting i tend to only think of it as being read by certain more vocal posters who know who i support and forget those who perhaps don't frequent the threads i post in so often.
 
Sometimes I can tell who the poster is refering to the team when he says "we" when he said certain players or manager in the post. HOWEVER, when he doesn't then it is impossible to decipher. Sometimes even when he does then the reader will STILL have the second guess who he is talking about. And personally if I don't know what team he's talking about ot even have any doubt, i stop reading that post and go to the next one, purely because if i don't know who he is referring to then i can't either support or debate on the point he is pointing out, making it irrelevant, no matter of valid his point may be.

Which is a shame.
 
I'm also guilty of saying we but I only use it if I'm quoting another post which has mentioned my team or if I'm talking about specific players that will indicate the team that I support.


OT: I was right :D
 
We are not amused Raymond
