There was one better a few years back on a Watford football forum but this one is pretty good. 2002 it was.

The longest thread ever?
Football message board hepatitis claim goes international

A Watford FC message board is causing an internet sensation thanks to a fan claiming her boyfriend gave her hepatitis.

The poster, who calls herself Bimbo83 and claims to be 19, says 'Brian' infected her after cheating on a holiday to Greece.

She says she wants to vent her anger on Rivals.net because he is a regular on it.

He has posted a message denying her claims. It's unclear if the argument is legitimate or a hoax.

Hundreds of messages have flooded in from as far afield as Dallas, Sydney and Barcelona, as well as from Watford fans and supporters of other British clubs.

In her original posting, Bimbo83 said: "I would like to tell you lot about Brian the Watford fan. I have been going out with him for three years and he has been cheating on me and I found out last week that he has given me hepatitis after his holiday in Greece. I know he spends a lot of time on here. Some of you will know him."

Brian's response says: "Sarah you are just a bitter and twisted little bit** with nothing better to do than slag me off on here. Have you ever thought that it might have been you I caught hepatitis from - not the other way around? Seems you did sleep your way round the whole of town while I was away (and don't try to deny it because I know you did)."

One posting offers to beat Brian up at half-time if Bimbo83 streaks at the club's home game against Millwall. It adds, "Not binding if you're a minger. Or have orange hair". Other messages include ideas for chants about the argument.

One contributor says: "I hope it's true and not a scam. I would feel violated if it was a fabrication. I'm really looking forward to the Watford game now, but I'm reluctant to bring the kids as I don't want to field 'awkward' questions on the way home when they hear the chants."

Rivals.net were not immediately available for comment.

Sarah who worked in boots chemist in Watford and her boyfriend, a Watford fan. He went to Greece on a summer holiday and came back and gave Sarah the clap. She went on the Watford MB and told the world. There ended up with over 250 pages just on it alone and that took only a couple of weeks to achieve.

This was back around 2003? Was brilliant, fans from various MBs joined in the fun. I've never seen such awesome humour and smart remarks in that thread. It was brilliant.
