We should be kind and cut him some slack, he's probably been on the booze again.

Who is this post directed at?

Is it almost as spectacularly simplistic as rely on stats and a rumour you might have heard someone as to the reasons why Schniderlin is so much better than current internationals playing champions league football?!!! Where is the evidence of wengers interest? There were a few stories of him complementing him but no evidence of a bid, something there was for Cabeye. As you rate Wengers opinion so highly then you've shot down half your argument as Wenger bid for Cabeye, he didn't for schniderlin, so he must rate Cabeye more highly. We're not taking about players playing in Italy, France, England and Germany! nice effort though. So do you think they if a team has more possession than their opponents then their defensive players would have less to do than their opponents, in terms of making tackles, blocks and interceptions?

What part of 'they are all the current midfielders in the French squad' are you having trouble with? I never said they wre like for like players but players listed as midfielders who are in the French squad. The Cabeye bid by arsenal was well publicised, yet all we have of wengers interest is your post. Do you think if arsenal made a bid for him it might make the news? Not really sure what point you are trying to make regarding Pogba, it seems you're saying because Man United sold him as a kid and he's now too good for Juventus that schniderlin is more deserving of a place in the French squad!!! As for your point re stats, do you agree or not that the better sides would in the main have more possession?

Wenger also wanted Cabeye, a bit more than Schniderlin it would seem as he put a bid in for him. So maybe you should take his view over mine. Nasri and Ribery are there because as I said if you can read I listed the current midfielders in the squad. Also I love the Statistics jockeys who reel off stats in an attempt to prove a point, do you think those stats give you the whole picture? How about such as in the main defensive midfielders at top clubs won't need to make as many tackles and interceptions as in most games their team will have the lions share of possession? Thought about that? Oh no, let's just assume schniderlin should walk into the team because he's better than everyone, we might not know much about the others or have seen them play every week or have applied a bit of logic to our view but he's better, end of.

The current midfielders in the French squad are as follows Cabaye, Ribery, Valbuena, Nasri, Pogba, Sissoko, Grenier, Matuidi & Payet. All of which except for the Newcastle players are playing for champions or Europa league sides. Remind me why Schinderlin should walk into the squad?

Mayuka getting there? Based on what? I'll give you Yoshida, to be fair he was actually a decent signing for the fee so not really sure why I put him in!!

Ramirez, Yoshida, Mayuka, Forren. £20m worth of players spent in the last 3 windows who can't get at the moment or never got a sniff of first team football. We've badly covered ourselves in glory in the transfer market.

I was the one that said ' drink from my fountain' its become my strapline.

Ridiculous really, over zealous policing and stewarding together with all seater stsdiums and high prices have killed atmosphere t football, now they are spending fortunes and planning all these things, desperately trying to get back something that was already there for free.

Quite unreal they despite the direct quote from his mother as to why he was bullied some people are still so desperate to ignore the facts and blame the paper that reports the facts. Unbelievable really that they would still use these tragic circumstances to peddle their own agendas. Speaks volumes about them.

He said in court he didn't know how to use a mobile phone so how could he have been texting Gerrard?

For being white. Shockingly sad story. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2283777/Boy-9-hanged-bullied-white.html

Yep, a few on here have got that nailed.

Maybe he should do lessons in "the yardsticks by which football clubs ability is measured by, number one - results" he'd clean up.

What is the most amount if internationals we've had on duty at one time? We must be close, even the 83/84 side most of them weren't full internationals.

Was he the one who told you the bench mark of a teams performance and ability if not results, league position or form but shots at goal?

I'm not saying i think it's a good thing, but some people on here were indignant that if we were near the top of the table and challenging/in Europe coupled with the FACTS we live in an affluent area and will attaction zillions of casual fans from all corners of the country then we need to expand the stadium. If just doesnt seem to be panning out like that.

aren't Garforth Town now only 10 years away from the Premier league?

Quite. As for judging him on his playing abilities England caps and Champions league football suggest he wasn't a bad player, the usual "he was crap" banging of the drum from the Talk Sporters. As a bloke he is as you describe him, He's also a good lad, lives in the same town as i do and a nice chap.

Good to see Danny Mills on there, international ex pro with champions league experience and used to working under pressure and achieving high standards as his performance on celebrity master chef proved. Addressng flaws in the game doesnt get tougher than this.

fair enough, it's just a bit wierd that's all. You're not alone in doing it though, i know another bloke who has to appease his missus by buying her presents everytime he wants to do anything without her, he's a right dweeb though and clearly greatful just to have a women, the sort of bloke you'd find at Chris De Burgh concerts.

Sadly not, I'm away with work.

I don't get why you feel the need to buy her something because you want to go to the football, why do you?

Don't forget we can also ignore the first 12 games of Adkins as that was when were adapting to the premier league so hey dont count. Its only fair to compare his 13 games after that as we'd adapted by then.
