By the way, there is an Alberto appreciation thread. Maybe that one can be the discussion thread, so that this one can get locked.

And maybe it's also a good idea to change the return of the king thread into the vuelta thread, if all the mods are trying to reach is a completely neutral, emotionless forum full of robots anyway.

Nobody wants that. I think everyone appreciates you ;) We just have to be rational in our postings here.

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.

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.

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

Ouch I use to check this forum once a day and I don't realize lot of things:D

you just have to remove a "bank"

If Santander lands, probably as a huge sole sponsor.

I appreciate you but you have a negative behaviour now, many threads are trolling every day. The main examples the ones about Schlecks, the hog and RSNT. Lets the CN life pursue;)

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..

According to Forbes Magazine Global 2010, it was the 6th largest company in the world. It originated in Santander, Cantabria, Spain.

:eek::eek::eek:


Also, Banesto is part of Santander banking group

I don't want it to die. Why would I? All I wanted was a place where I could post my silliness without bothering other posters because you know, I'm also a person with feelings and I don't like it when people are constantly *****ing and moaning about everything I post.

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.

Nothing pathetic about it, but thats another story. I saw your account on another thread, and I disagree with your assessment of same-sex education, but this probably isn't the place to elaborate.

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.

Susan

LaFlorecita's thread was a whole different thread and you even inspired it and asked for it. If you could not see the difference then well better not post that....
 
The other rumour was Santander Bank to fund a totally newestablished team which would have Contador in it. I don't think that Santander Bank ever wanted to bring the cash in Saxo Bank. I'm not sure, though.

No. This is not fair. Now everyone can post their Alberto hate in this thread.

Susan told me I could start my own I Love Alberto thread. So that I would post my Alberto nonsense or silliness in it. Now I will continue to spread it across the forum until the thread title will be back to normal. I do not like this at all. Actually I'm extremely angry and I'm almost never angry. Finally there was one thread with only Alberto love without Alberto hate and now you ruined it.

There is a bit of conflict in what one mod/admin instructs of the forum and what ultimately happened. I can understand your dilemma and that of the admin's. Was this your the first thread you ever started?

Thank you. :) You understand me. First I could just post everything I love about Alberto in it; articles, interviews, pictures, youtube clips... But now it's just for general discussion. And now we'll get exactly the same arguments as in all those other threads that make me so sad.

No it isn't the first but that isn't the problem. If Susan thinks this sort of useless threads don't belong here she shouldn't have told me to start one.

you seriously need to calm down, this thread won't be closed.

also thank you people for already putting this thread on it's right path.

anyway maybe saxo will stop being a sponsor full stop? they only have a one year contract so at the end of the year the riis sportive organization is free to sign a major sponsor contract with santander which is indeed a gigantic company and would have no problems creating an super strong team around contador and still giving riis the money for him to keep developing young talent from Denmark and all over the world and to have a great classics team like riis always had on his team.

Ummm... she was joking I think.
yet it is a bit difficult to tell when she is joking and when she is not (asides from when she is doing the live commentary)
Anyway even if she wasnt I dont think she envisaged the thread turning out as it has.
