    Can’t stand looking at you with that massive underbite and listening to you is worse, can’t call a game you don’t know the players names both you and Smith need to go back to school

    It’s important NOT impordant

    It’s Titans NOT Tidens

    As for picking on The Knightec at least he has followers unlike you
