Froome19 said:No one here really hates Alberto.
Fetisoff said:Saxo-Santender? Still doesn't sound right.
Alberto Contador of team Saxo-Santender completes the GT triple crown by winning the 2013 Vuelta. Meh, sounds OK I guess
Machu Picchu said:1) hatred towards Alberto? he's one of the most popular riders here and there is very little negativity in the comments about him here. 2) if you get banned it'll be due to your irrational behavior.
LaFlorecita said:Yes I do need it because 1) All the hatred towards Alberto makes me cry 2) I don't want to get banned becausing all my posts are silly or nonsense or bull**** or whatever else.
DominicDecoco said:Saxo Bank-Satander. Seems pretty okay. We can still write SBS.
Froome19 said:Until it gets locked
Anyway i think you, Hitch and Zam are going to be too busy atm
DominicDecoco said:How about actually starting to contributing with something instead of constantly dragging the forum down in the pathethic level it has become. There's one thread - as there should be. Get over it.
LaFlorecita said:Fine. If nobody wants me here and all I'm doing is getting on other people's nerves I'll leave. It's better for everyone.
LaFlorecita said:Okay I'm done with this ****ed up forum. You can close this thread now, we don't need another thread full of Alberto hate.
LaFlorecita said:Parrulo or Susan please close this thread now.
LaFlorecita said:This thread is now haters vs lovers like Parrulo said. I'm crying right now, I really am. Susan there are a lot of things I'd like to say to you now but I'm pretty sure insulting a mod isn't allowed.
LaFlorecita said:Fine. If nobody wants me here and all I'm doing is getting on other people's nerves I'll leave. It's better for everyone.
Fetisoff said:Nope, he's had a change of heart, so he's an Andy fan right now.
Does that mean Saxo is out though? Just seems strange to see a team "SaxoBank - Bank Santender" or something like that
jens_attacks said:you just have to remove a "bank"
LaFlorecita said:Parrulo or Susan please close this thread now.
LaFlorecita said:Fine. If nobody wants me here and all I'm doing is getting on other people's nerves I'll leave. It's better for everyone.
jens_attacks said:the balance has to be restored here.

Froome19 said:Santander are the same bank which do the massive Lewis Hamilton advert, right ans sponsor Mclaren?
Because if so they may very well have a very very large budget..
pedaling squares said:It will eventually die, or it will become an actual thread to discuss Alberto and the people who want to wind you up will get tired of it (if and only if you don't react). But if you want the thread to die, you should probably stop bumping it up to the top of the page.
Waterloo Sunrise said:My secondary school was chaps only until the 6th form, until a limited number of girls joined.
The result of this was that even deeply ordinary girls had a flock of boys circling them at all times.
I am pleased to see this forum continues to demonstrate the same phenomenon.
The Hitch said:wow.
That is deep.
I was also in one of those pathetic secondary schools all boys then 1 out of every 7 pupils girls in 6th form.
Kwibus said:I miss him.
Looking forward to the Vuelta!
Susan Westemeyer said:Sorry, I'm afraid Alberto is going to have one thread like everyone else. Besides, you didn't really think you would not meet with jeering and opposition in the thread, did you?
And all: this is the Contador thread, not the place for a general discussion. Please stay on topic. All off-topic postings from here on will be deleted.
