Pogba v Ronaldo will be like watching Crufts.

It’s your IP address so use a vpn.

And can I have that in English?

From a non-techie:
Your home pc / WiFi has an identifier which is the IP address. The host site can see this.

Login from a friend's home or Starbucks, they won't have a clue.

The website of our arch enemy is really doing my head in? Does anyone know who runs it, the CIA?

Basically, I first stumbled across it about 4 years ago and I registered to read and participate (banter???). They said on signing up that they welcome supporters of other teams, so I entered 'Man City' for my preferred team and it popped up next to my postings.

Unfortunately, after years of suffering as a City fan, with them doing well under Lord Ferguson - I could not stop myself making some critical comments, first about Marcus Rojo and then unforgivably, it seems, about the man himself (I basically said that the seeds of their decline, can be traced back to Ferguson and his dispute over ownership of a race horse, the name of which escapes me tonight).

Anyway, I was banned.

I tried to re-join with a different e-mail & if I did so in a Pub on free wifi, I could create a new account, but as soon as I tried to log-in at home, even with the new e-mail, they somehow knew it was me! How??? I would instantly be banned again. So I just left it.

Fast forward to just before the start of this season, I thought well after four years I might have been forgotten. I had a new email I had recently signed up for to play a fantasy football game, so I used that. I resolved not to post anything too critical - except I did have a bit of a dig at J. Mourinho - specifically the fact he still lives in a Hotel which indicates to me he will be gone soon (sadly). But about 75% of posters on there want rid of him (I estimate) so if they banned anyone who slags him off the site will become pretty quiet indeed!

Well, for two weeks, everything seemed A-OK, but tonight - when I tried to login, I get a banned message: 'returning member contravention of terms and conditions'.

How are they doing this, after four years???!!!! (They are seriously lacking in a sense of humour too).

im a bit a worried that you had an account on there years before you had one on here lad.

I refute that in the strongest terms. I joined here 12th April 2014 (I joined the other one later that year) :)

BT just showed Mourinho at Burnley, taking notes.

I recon he's already nailed it tbf.

Thanks, but what's a VPN? can I 'mask' my home IP with it, because I have no friends and I don't drink in those wanky places.

It's when people can see the outline of your knickers.

If it's just your ip that they're using to ID you (which I doubt) then try registering using your phone's 4G connection.
