Might be worth jigging around the numbers, just so we can get Jussi in. The man is a legend of the Bok. Also, as post counts are guaranteed to increase for every user, could we reset the bars? i.e. put lofty at 25k, one at 20k, one at 15k, one at 10k etc.

If someone can reach 10,000 posts and only be classed dedicated, that IS dedication. And people who reach 25k are truly immortal.

Although to be fair, if we debated this long enough we could have list of players as long as my arm* who could merit a place on the prized TW post-counter.

*I have long arms.

Cheers.

But think about it Mr Dancer, once you do reach 25k, and at first glance you seem to favourite to get there first, think of the exclusivity, you and you alone as Mr Bolton Wanderers. None of this modern day knighthood scattergun everyone is immortal approach, just you, Mr TW :mrgreen:

It seems to me we can get carried away with bean counting - the Batty factor. It is not the number of posts that matters but rather the quality I would have thought.

Ah, but that would make it a competition again and I was trying to get away from that and anyway, I don't have the Latin for the judging.

Can we have a status for people from other clubs, like a picture of boris johnson or something - the 'unwelcome' :wink:

On a Wanderers note the promising/JOB category probably needs some reviewing as well as Nolan

Nolan's gone, sunshine :)

Not a bad shout. First four might all need changing. Suggestions?

Hopeful - Tom Eaves
Promising - Holden
Reliable - Muamba
Dedicated - Er, Ricardo Gardner? Jaaskelainen?
