He does get himself in a tizz in Twitter conversations
Nic Hoddle "Chelsea were the better side, missed chance after chance"
Really? I obviously watched the wrong game, is there another Wembley?
Peter He was probably referring to the penalty shootout (crying with laughter)
Nic Certainly not, he said they were better and had chances after chances!
Peter Just my attempt at a little joke. Never mind.
Nic Sorry, its been a long day!
With someone else

Tim Correct
Nic You thought Chelsea were the better team?
Tim No. Thought we deserved it
Nic Sorry,I thought you were saying that Hoddle was correct
Tim No
That mixture of blind loyalty to Arsenal, humourlessness and complete obtuseness is giving me flashbacks to conversing with him on here.Quote:

Not that that made him any less irritating, of course.

Paul Merton? Not the Arsenal legend, the other one.Quote:

There were much worst characters than Nic on this forum over the years...Not on the board for 2-3 years and still you guys look him up just to start a new thread???
Off the board, he is indeed a thoroughly decent chap. Just perhaps not suited to the "banter" on hereQuote:

This board has some of the most mean-spirited, obsessive and paranoid so-called Arsenal fans online. I don't understand why anyone feels the need to dredge up old posts made by someone who hasn't been here for yearsin roder to make fun of him. Don't you have anyone else to laugh at, maybe at home? Mother-in-law? Terminally ill wife? Severely handicapped child? Yourselves?
Agreed, a very nice chap indeed.Quote:

Well actually, amid all the fùcking sanctimony that's flying about, certain of us on here spent years defending Nic from the relentless attacks of certain board members who are for some reason remembered fondly. But hey-ho.Quote:

Yes, there were some on here who openly advocated banning people in no small part because of their abuse of Nic. Some of these people then ended up turning on Nic, which was rather ironic.Quote:

Hopefully everyone has moved on and developed a sense of perspective. :-)
It also might be pointed out that Nic ruthlessly bullied Modd off the board by relentlessly accusing him of being someone else.Quote:

Abuse is one thing and part and parcel of this place. A relentless and targeted campaign of bullying over a period of months is quite another.Quote:
