Ah the glory days when the football thread used to be the hidden refuge of Effoff. An oasis of unfiltered and unregulated banter unbound by the stifling online message board rules so prevalent everywhere else on the site. And a lot of actual great football discussion from the suprisingly well-informed and insightful crew of regulars who participated every year (minus the fairweather dross panayi used to shower on us)

Nothing is sadder about the decline of EoFF than the death of the football threads, to me.

Still, a pulse beats here again, worryingly weak though it may be. I'm here, Pauw is here, Lonny BoB is popping up more frequently so... one last dance boys?
