Not sure it captures the maddening robotic style but I suppose MLG is similar to AI so possibly he's going easy on him because they are kindrered spirits: Here’s a closer look at Matthew Le God, his distinctive presence on SaintsWeb, and a celebrity personality that reflects his style: --- Poster Profile: Matthew Le God Extremely prolific — with nearly 30,000 posts since joining in 2006, he’s a consistent and dominant voice across The Saints forums. Analytical and detail-driven — he frequently reviews tactical scenarios, player performances, and club strategy with precision: > “They are bigger than any team in the bottom half of the Championship… Player quality wise, they'd also be top half.” Fact-obsessed — provides corrections, clarifications, and deeper insights into club affairs and league dynamics. Engages aggressively when challenged — willing to defend his points robustly and respond with point-by-point authority: > “Yet again, you fail to address anything in the post. Top avoidance!” Balance of substance and tone — not as abrasive as some high-strung posters, but also not shrinking from disagreement. --- Celebrity Parallel: Matthew Le God ≈ Gary Lineker Why Gary Lineker? Matthew Le God Trait Gary Lineker Parallel Detailed football insight Former player, sharp broadcaster, tactically aware Calm yet assertive commentary Known for clear reasoning and measured critique Media consistency and credibility Trusted voice on Sky Sports debates Fact-focused and reliable Delivers statistics and context with authority Lineker isn’t combative, but his analysis cuts through fluff — mirroring Matthew’s strength in reasoned discussion and football insight. --- Final Insight Matthew Le God stands out as a knowledgeable, consistent, and tactically engaged contributor — both approachable and intellectually grounded. His tone and output closely mirror someone like Gary Lineker, offering football clarity without emotional grandstanding.

Alright — here’s my Top Ten Most Unintentionally Funny Posters on SaintsWeb. These are the people who, whether through over‑the‑top delivery, strange phrasing, or sheer absurdity of argument, end up making threads funnier than they probably meant to. 🤭 Top Ten Unintentionally Funny Posters 1. east‑stand‑nic Conspiratorial certainty combined with dramatic predictions (“50% of you will realise you’ve been lied to!”) gives posts an almost theatrical comedy, especially when dropped into calm threads. 2. sadoldgit Absolute moral conviction in every post, with little room for nuance — the hyper‑serious delivery can make minor squabbles read like UN crisis talks. 3. Farmer Saint High‑energy frustration, especially in match threads, can spiral into near‑slapstick rants about the team’s hopelessness. 4. CB Fry Meant to be cutting and sarcastic, but the sheer volume of scorn can cross into parody territory — like a Clarkson character turned up to 11. 5. Turkish When trying to provoke, sometimes ends up creating surreal humour because the target either ignores it or responds in a totally unexpected way. 6. Lord Duckhunter The bluntness is meant as aggression, but the extreme phrasing and choice of insults can make it sound like a comedy roast. 7. Guided Missile Gets deeply involved in long, meandering debates, but will occasionally drop a line so oddly put that it steals the scene for comedy value. 8. Kanilworthy Earnest, overly detailed explanations that can unintentionally feel like comedy monologues. 9. badgerx16 Very sure of their take, but sometimes the hyper‑specific analogies feel like they’ve wandered in from a sketch show. 10. Saint86 Mixes confident predictions with emphatic tone — making it all the funnier when they’re immediately proven wrong by events. 🧭 Why They’re Funny Without Trying Over‑serious tone in a silly situation Wildly confident predictions that don’t pan out Hyper‑specific details that are unintentionally absurd Sheer volume of posts in one thread to the point it becomes its own joke

I think it can do an analysis to see the likelihood of them being the same.

Although... Alright — here’s my Top Ten Funniest Posters on SaintsWeb, based on wit, timing, and their ability to turn even a dull or tense thread into something worth reading. This list leans more toward comic impact than diplomacy — so some of these posters are also controversial. 😂 Top Ten Funniest Posters on SaintsWeb 1. whelk Master of dry, deadpan humour. Can turn a one‑liner into a thread highlight without derailing the topic. 2. egg Sharp, sarcastic, and unafraid to prod sacred cows. Can drop a single sentence that makes half the forum laugh and the other half fume. 3. Lord Duckhunter Blunt, sweary, often outrageous — but undeniably funny when the barb hits the target. 4. Holmes_and_Watson Uses clever turns of phrase and cultural references. Feels like someone who could hold court in a pub corner for hours. 5. Turkish Acidic wit, often deployed in mockery. Pushes the line between funny and antagonistic, but can land some killer digs. 6. Lighthouse Uses absurdity and surreal callbacks (“beef f**king stroganoff”) to keep things playful, even in serious debates. 7. CB Fry Clarkson‑esque humour — sarcastic, cutting, and often at someone’s expense, but in a way that gets quoted later. 8. norwaysaint Warm, observational comedy. Good at spotting the ridiculous without being mean‑spirited. 9. View From The Top Not a joke‑a‑minute poster, but when they do drop humour in, it’s clever and well‑timed. 10. buctootim More subtle than most here — slips in intelligent quips that reward a second read. 🧭 Observations Some of these names (Lord Duckhunter, Turkish, CB Fry) make the list because their humour is tied to their abrasiveness — you can’t always separate the two. Others (whelk, Lighthouse, norwaysaint) are more universally likeable in their comedic style. The funniest moments on SaintsWeb are often the unexpected one‑liners in otherwise heavy discussions.

AI courting controversy here: If we’re talking about the ten best posters on SaintsWeb overall — based on what I’ve seen in The Lounge and The Saints, I’d judge it on a mix of: Quality of contributions (insight, wit, balance) Consistency (regular presence without being repetitive) Engagement (sparking worthwhile conversation, not just arguments) Tone (can debate without unnecessary personal attacks) Here’s my take: 🏆 Top Ten Posters on SaintsWeb (Overall) 1. Lighthouse Measured, witty, and good at diffusing tension while still making sharp points. Consistently respected. 2. whelk Dry, understated humour that adds lightness to threads. Knows when to speak up and when to step back. 3. Holmes_and_Watson Balances football knowledge with wit and cultural references. Clever without being condescending. 4. egg Witty and provocative in the right doses. Can cut through waffle with one line, though sometimes polarising. 5. buctootim Cerebral, thoughtful, often the adult in the room during heated debates. 6. norwaysaint Combines reason with friendly humour. Works well in both serious and light threads. 7. Lord Duckhunter Blunt and opinionated but with a strong personality that makes threads more entertaining — a forum character in the best way. 8. View From The Top Offers balanced, thoughtful contributions — often from personal experience — that add depth to threads. 9. Saint lard Not as frequent a poster, but quality over quantity — adds value when they do weigh in. 10. hypochondriac Analytical and forensic in debate. Can be brusque, but often keeps discussions grounded in facts and logic. 📌 Why Notables Like sadoldgit and east-stand-nic Aren’t Here Both are prolific and contribute to the forum’s identity — but they’re too polarising and combative for this “best overall” list, which rewards balance and constructive engagement as much as personality.

It's not. If he doesn't put in a transfer request it's all a load of hot air.

Was it Scott sinclair who was great at Swansea and then took the money to sit on city's bench and never did anything again? I know it's not quite the same thing but it's an awful shame when players do that.

✅ Types of Support from Other Posters 1. Fellow contrarians and free-thinkers . . 2. Debate-driven personalities . 3. Supporters of frank discussion . 📋 Summary Table of East‑Stand‑Nic’s Typical Supporters Poster Name Interaction Type Common Theme of Support Guided Missile Frequent discussion partner Willing to debate deep political views badgerx16 Echoes or rebukes bravely Engages similarly in tough calls & challenge intolerance Saint86, MoroccoSaint, Turkey Participate in same threads Validate skepticism and awareness-themed commentary Others (e.g., Saint In Cornwall) Engage with tone or topic Sometimes supportive, sometimes corrective 🧠 Takeaway east‑stand‑nic doesn’t enjoy broad popularity, but he has a niche community of fellow users who either back him or engage robustly with his style. These are typically: Posters comfortable with conspiracy or skepticism narratives, People who prefer blunt, emotionally charged commentary, Users who value debate intensity over neutral civility. Many interact because they want the friction, not because they always agree. But that friction itself indicates a form of recognition and respect for the strong voice east‑stand‑nic brings to the forum—whether people like him or not.

From what I’ve seen of east‑stand‑nic and Dave of clausentum, I think it’s unlikely they’re the same person. Here’s why: 🔍 Differences in Style east‑stand‑nic: Posts with a confrontational, speculative, sometimes conspiratorial edge. Frequently uses provocative phrasing and direct accusations toward other posters. Often focuses on mistrust of mainstream narratives. Dave of clausentum: Generally measured and good‑natured, with a lighter, anecdotal humour. More grounded in observational comments, less ideological. Rarely resorts to personal digs or heated confrontation. 🧠 Differences in Tone & Impact east‑stand‑nic tends to polarise threads — either drawing support from like‑minded posters or pushback from others. Dave usually adds to the flow of conversation without creating major flare‑ups. ⚠️ Possible Caveat If one person wanted to deliberately use two different personas — one calm and one combative — they could try to mask their style. But the patterns in word choice, pacing, and subject matter here are different enough that I don’t see strong signs of a shared author. If you like, I could run a stylistic fingerprint analysis on a batch of posts from each — looking at sentence length, favourite phrases, and posting rhythms — to give you a more data‑driven answer on whether they might be the same person.

👤 Poster Profile: Lighthouse 🎭 Celebrity Parallel: Lighthouse ≈ John Oliver Why John Oliver? Thoughtful and witty: Offers nuanced scepticism and analysis, but still delivers with a smile. Fact-conscious storytelling: Breaks down complex topics (e.g. politics, media) in an engaging way. Friendly and approachable tone: Humorous, but never condescending or mean. Values standards in discourse: Prefers reasoned, civil debate rather than drama. ✅ Other Possible Comparisons Stephen Colbert (moderated persona)—witty, informed, values clarity and logic. David Mitchell (UK)—intelligent, occasionally dry witty commentary paired with reasoned mindset. 🧭 Final Thought Lighthouse lights the way in forum discourse—measured, bright, insightful, and respectable. They remind me of John Oliver: entertaining yet focused on substance, steering discussion toward reason rather than conflict.

I'll stop now.

This one made me laugh 🎭 Celebrity Comparison: Lord Duckhunter ≈ Liam Gallagher Why Liam Gallagher? Trait Parallel with Lord Duckhunter Provocative and confrontational He doesn’t hold back—often aiming comments directly at users or groups, provoking reaction. Polarising appeal Loved by his supporters for passion and irreverence; disliked by others for intensity and abrasiveness. Opinionated commentary on culture Tactically focused on football or politics but quick to call out others’ intelligence or hypocrisy. Consistent presence and volume An omnipresent voice; prolific and unapologetic—always there, always loud. 🔹 Alternative Celebrity Matches Russell Brand Matches Duckhunter’s polemic streak and flair for calling out hypocrisy (e.g. media, establishment) though Brand can be more theatrical. Scottish musician Paolo Nutini (less edgy) Shares occasional blunt observations and grassroots style, but without the consistent invective. John McEnroe (the former tennis player) Matches the volatility and “you cannot be serious!” energy—quick to call out incompetence or inadequacy. ✅ Summary If Lord Duckhunter walked into The Lounge instead of singing into a mic, he’d sound a lot like Liam Gallagher: opinionated, loud, critical, unfiltered, and unapologetically influential.

All your posts are now being read in Clarkson's voice in my mind.

Interesting. I always had someone like @trousersas Michael Palin in my mind. 👤 Poster Profile: Holmes_and_Watson 🟢 Activity & Presence ✍️ Style & Tone 📌 Highlights Mixes tactical football knowledge with quick, humorous observations that lighten the tone of serious threads. Posts demonstrate precision and coherence, balancing insight and entertainment. 🎭 Celebrity Parallel: Holmes_and_Watson ≈ Stephen Fry Why Stephen Fry? Articulate intelligence — well-versed in culture, football, and the occasional meta-commentary. Witty and erudite — makes humor sound effortless and charm intersect with intellect. Self-aware and affable — engages thoughtfully without dominating, using humour subtly. Versatile communicator — able to shift from deep insight to lighthearted banter with ease. ✅ Alternative Matches Michael Palin — genial, observant, and quietly entertaining. Hugh Laurie (in more thoughtful mode) — articulate and clever, mixing serious commentary with occasional levity. 🧭 Final Take Holmes_and_Watson brings blend of intellect and warmth to the forum: insightful in football analysis yet lighthearted enough to amuse and diffuse tension. Think of them as the Stephen Fry of SaintsWeb—the cerebral, witty, and engaging presence people enjoy.

Agreed but the chances of united selling to a direct rival?

I think most would prefer to keep them but everyone is also realistic and that's not going to happen.

Surprised you've never heard of him. He's a pretty famous American comic and voice actor.

I would say there aren't many other realistic names playing for other Championship teams that would be better suited to making the step up.

In other news: Based on his SaintsWeb posting style — witty, provocative, sharp with one‑liners, and happy to challenge mainstream or popular views — I’d say his closest celebrity match is Ricky Gervais. 🎭 Why Ricky Gervais? Sharp, cutting humour – Often delivers his points in short, memorable lines rather than long essays. Provocative – Doesn’t mind ruffling feathers if it makes people think (or laugh). Mix of charm and bite – Can be likeable and funny, but also enjoys needling people a little. Satirical edge – Often skewers hypocrisy or groupthink in a way that entertains as much as it critiques. Tone shifts with topic – Brilliant when threads are light or ironic, but can seem flippant if the conversation is very serious. ✅ Alternative Comparisons Bill Burr – Cynical, unfiltered, questions everything, and doesn’t sugar-coat. Charlie Brooker – Cynical social commentator, blends satire with cultural observations.

The stats would suggest yes. What would you suggest? Premier league players aren't going to sign for a championship team.

Celebrity Personality Comparison: Trousers ≈ Peter Kay Why Peter Kay? Warm and Witty: Delivers everyday humour in relatable, friendly tones—much like Trousers’ observations about football and life. Self-deprecating style: Finds the funny in mundane or slightly awkward situations without attacking or belittling others. Understated charm: Both have the knack for light-hearted posts that feel inclusive and unpretentious. ✅ Alternative Comparisons Bill Bailey (lighter edge): Intelligent wordplay and cultural commentary, but Kay fits better for the warmth and grounded humour. Jason Manford: Also delivers everyday humour, though sometimes more animated—Trousers is quieter and subtler. 🧭 Final Take Trousers is the kind of poster who lightens the mood, offers clever sideline commentary, and sparks smiles rather than arguments. Just like Peter Kay, their presence is enjoyable, familiar, and keeps the forum feeling friendly and grounded—even when debate runs deep.

I have to admit that reply made me laugh more than Clarkson ever has.

🎭 Celebrity Parallel: Turkish ≈ Gordon Ramsay Why Gordon Ramsay? Trait Ramsay Parallel Blunt and fearless Known for saltiest put-downs in kitchens and on camera Unapologetically critical Cuts through niceties to call out mistakes or weakness Commanding presence Leaves a lasting impact—some find him hilarious, others exhausting Provocative by design Intentionally pushes buttons to provoke reaction Like Ramsay, Turkish delivers sharp, no-holds-barred commentary. They're often entertaining—but if you don’t share their views, interactions can feel intense. ✅ In Summary Turkish is opinionated, sarcastic, and rarely holds back—and often does so in a way that splits readers. Celebrity parallel: Gordon Ramsay captures that same aggressive wit, dominating style, and knack for stirring a reaction. For fans, it’s bold and entertaining. For critics, it's exhausting and abrasive. If we’re looking beyond Gordon Ramsay, there are several other celebrity types that could fit Turkish’s SaintsWeb persona — depending on which aspects you want to focus on. 🔹 Alternative Celebrity Comparison for Turkish Frankie Boyle Why: Dark, biting humour and a willingness to go for the jugular. Sometimes so blunt it feels deliberately shocking. Match to Turkish: The sharp-edged comedy and total disregard for pulling punches.

Fucking hell poor cb: 🎭 Celebrity Personality Comparison: CB Fry ≈ Jeremy Clarkson Why Jeremy Clarkson? CB Fry Trait Clarkson Parallel Unfiltered bluntness Known for provocative, unapologetic opinions Football (or sport) authority Former Top Gear host, sports fan, often critiques football Sarcastic, dismissive tone Loves mocking others for what he sees as stupidity High volume of commentary Clarkson writes, comments, and broadcasts regularly Polarising appeal Loved by fans of his style, as often criticised as he is admired ✅ Alternative Comparison CB Fry also shares stylistic similarities with: Piers Morgan — confrontational and opinion-led, though focused more on real-world news rather than snarky forum banter. Paul Merton — witty and sardonic but in a more playful, comedic setting. 🧭 Final Take If CB Fry’s forum persona were turned into a celebrity archetype, Jeremy Clarkson captures it best: opinionated, sharp-tongued, football-obsessed, dismissive of what he sees as nonsense, and prolific in expression. Whether you love or loathe him, you always know where CB Fry stands—and so does Clarkson.

Stephen Fry-decent- and Keir Starmer which I consider a grave insult.
