Read the whole thread mate, he was giving it large for ages.

It is a wierd one as i seem to remember him being quite popular when he joined, mainly because he got thrown into the team and everyone hated Hoedt and no one rated Yoshida and Stephens. Since then his popularity has dropped and seems to be one of the whipping boys. Hes an adequate squad player at best but like you say, for £5m a decent signing who did a job when thrust into the team.

Congratulations to the lad, been great since he joined us. Shame there is such competition for his postion as he surely would have had far more caps by now. Especially as some of them are very overated.

I’ve never claimed or even thought to say that, you’ve invented that in your head as well. If you can be bothered to look I actually mentioned what level I played at fairly recently on here. I’m sure you’ll just dismiss it as “very low level” though

So you admitted you made up me claiming to be a high flying pro then? Well done on finally admitting you got something wrong 👏

Or maybe I just don’t want to boast about it to make you feel even more inadequate?

Why are you assuming everyone on here has only played pub standard? I know that’s probably still far higher than you’ve ever made but there have been some very good players post on here over the years

I never said j was a high flying pro. You’re making that up just like you made up Id only played pub standard and that you’d upset by saying i wasn’t as good as Adam Armstrong and didn’t understand XGs. All utter nonsense because you’re struggling to come to terms with the fact most people have realised when it comes to understand what’s going on on the field of play, not on a spreadsheet youre regularly embarrassed

Tell me otherwise then, what level did you play at?

a far better level than you, that I am certain of

What on earth are you going on about now?!!

So any player that hasn't played championship level or above in "very low level" in your eyes then. Interested to hear what level that makes you then.

Define "very low level"

It's a terrible analogy and makes absolutely no sense. Particularly as you've yet again proven that knowing the theory on something is only part of it, you need to have done it in practice as well. So thanks for proving me right 😄 Also i think you'll find i've done more than "played a bit of amateur football" but then i'm not one to boast 😉

What about Pickford?!

He looks to me to be one of those players who is a very good player in the championship but not quite good enough for the premier league. Rob Earnshaw, Billy Sharp types. Maybe he'll come good next season as it's too early to write him off just yet.

if you were going to ask someones advice on how to build a wall which one would be most likely to give you the best help? A proffesional bricklayer with years of experience on the trowel Someone who has done a fair bit of it in their spare time Someone who has never picked up a brick in their life but have watched some you tube clips and thinks they know it all

Im glad I’ve amused you. It’s a nice role reversal as I spend an awful lot of time being amused by you on here.

Lions do not care for the opinions of gazelles young man

I couldn’t give a toss what you think of me. Despite your arrogance your opinions on football are close to embarrassing at times. I’ve always maintained you’ve never played football at any decent level and your knowledge and experience is based on spreadsheets and with every ridiculous post you prove me right. Sorry about that.

How many premier league clubs would Armstrong be top scorer at?

You okay hun? Someone be meddling with your formulas?

Oh now you’re getting all upset and personal. Seems to me it’s you doing the mouth frothing young man. Your spreadsheets will only tell you so much

Don’t need to. Others have done it and you’ve dug yourself a hole. No point repeating what others have said. There’s no shame in admitting that you’re more of a spreadsheets man than player. MLG doesn’t have an issue admitting it, he’s proud of it If anything

It’s obvious pal
