dear all. some of you will have, until recently, seen the posts i have contributed over the years, and it has been an experience in many shapes and forms. the fact is that my health is not particularly good right now, and i have to attend to this as a priority. i am sad this has come at a time when the site has settled down after the midsummer madness surrounding one player, who has now departed. i was sorry though to see all the negative, and totally inaccurate comments about emile smith rowe- hes not a waste of money at all, its far too early to judge that, but some arent prepared to wait. i believe in time he will prove his worth. i would like to say thanks to owen, there cant be a more tireless contributor than the bard, those who have criticised him in the past should think of that. paddy o doors, you tell it as it is, unlike some of the wasters who sometimes come on here. bigboy 4650, i hope you finally get to be a moderator, when you do, you can delete all the rubbish from the meccano men like buzzi b, kew and realistic. thanks to all you real fans, and i wish you really well for the future. oh yes---C.O.Y.W !

Masto, sorry to hear you are leaving us due to poor health and I trust you will regain your health. I assume that you, like myself and others, are retired and with age problems tend to multiply. I have no wish to become a Moderator, which is an onerous task, as MST is now back in the saddle. I respect and admire him for the work he does but no one can monitor the board 24/7 so moronic posting will always appear. Take care and continue to follow this board and our team which I started to watch in 1939 when my father first took me to the Cottage.

I am so sorry to hear that life isn't too good with you at the moment, so may I wish you all the very best for better health in the future. Like my goodself, there seems to be a great number of the older generation, who contribute to this site, and we are obviously going to lose members over the years, so it's a shame to lose you as contributer, but your health comes before anything, so very good luck to you, and I really hope that Fulham's result help to keep your chin up. Take care, and COYW

There you go, thinking of yourself as usual. Unless your fingers are dropping off then I demand you carry on posting. No feeble excuses will be acceptable and you know how angry I get. In fact you don’t even need fingers, Buzzi turd and Splean use their trotters. This board needs all the actual Fulham supporters it can get so carry on and keep typing.

Sorry to hear about your illness Mastos' and all i will say is 'Get better soon' and 'God' Bless you! I will forever stay the optimist and
try to keep it topical and interesting and i thank you for the complement! Bard and Shakespeare is a big one to live up to but i will try my best. There are some words-smiths better than me and they can write all this malarky better than i can if they chose to. My version of things all about Fulham is interesting to some and i am happy to carry on here with my Owen side of things until they put the thumbscrews on and torture me by racking.
Farewell' dear friend' this is not the end...

Sorry to hear that,there are some interesting posters on this board(although too many negative ones)but I’m curious why people who don’t support this club continue to comment.Only reason would be to try to wind us up but makes them look jealous.

Not saying it’s an anagram are you? I couldn’t stomach that, it’s in the bag.

Never nice to hear of anyone in poor health so best wishes for some respite however, I’ve been on this site for more than 10 years at least after the official site’s message board closed during the days of ostrich watch, etc. but have never seen you post on here I’m afraid.

ipitombi, i remember mastos saying that he used the name zambesian, but a brentfool answered his text with a particularly nasty racist comment, which prompted quite a reaction. he therefore changed his tag. he wasnt as frequent a contributor as yourself, but he would always defend the club if he thought it needed to be. i admit i havent posted much myself recently, but on hearing he was stepping aside, i thought its sad that another honest poster is gone, and i wish mastos well.

mst, i remember mastos a couple of years ago, having a right royal with another much missed poster, kunye. he had suggested selling mitro, and replacing him with rondon and gayle. neither player scored anywhere near the amount he did, were both 30 or over, and it caused quite an exchange when mastos suggested this.it ended in an honorable draw, no doubt mastos had a chuckle. i dont know how you missed his posts, you are always razor sharp.

I think that I remember him too. I think he used to have a frequent spat with nasty Nick Bateman.

i can remember that one of many "johns" who post on here once asked him about the name, in a mocking way, comparing it to a certain bleach, and after a full blooded retort, he said it was his first name, so maybe he is greek or cypriot. good luck in the future, mastos.
