  1. I don't know, it's kind of growing on me.
  2. I don't know about you guys but Schneiderlin is a superb signing for them. Gana, Barry, Schneiderlin and Barkley is a very strong midfield.
  3. Or just her face onto Trump's disabled impression.
  4. Why were reporters giving applause, especially when he was berating another reporter wtf
  5. Greatest jobs producer that God ever created. Eloquent Edit: Then he goes and tops himself a couple of minutes later with number 1 tricky. Don't mind me I'm just watching the presser now
  6. I can't wait for the movie that will inevitably come out about this fiasco.
  7. We live in a world where 4chan is casually discussed by politicians and on the mainstream media. They've come a long way
  8. Why do they still deflect to Clinton? They realize she already lost right
  9. He's still living off those 2 free kicks from 2013
  10. Do you not normally call your cousin's son your nephew?
  11. We've been getting routinely spanked by Spurs' second string for about 5 years now.
  12. I don't know about legend but Benteke was a special player. The closest we've had and will have to a world class player in a long while.
  13. Nice. I love how assured we are in the transfer market under Dr. X. We don't mess about and address our weaknesses stat (though RDM did make a huge oversight on our midfield in the summer).
  14. Only if that's what you want to infer. There are a whole host of reasons why a player's level of play can decline, and to boil it down to a mere lack of application is reductive.
  15. How can you gauge any of that from watching a player on the pitch without projecting your own biases? What if Milner didn't actually have much motivation or desire as you say, but was actually just really gifted at learning new positions and improving as a player? Conversely If you don't have the ability to improve in a position, it doesn't mean you're any less of a pro. But yeah it does seem like your definition of a model pro is different from most. Most people refer to conduct, how they train, application etc. Westwood hasn't put a foot wrong in those areas, and has been praised by his previous managers and people like Stan Petrov in that respect. So while you might say that calling him a model pro is a bit too much, is it really such an egregious statement that you have to bring it up again months after the initial discussion?
  16. Isn't that your answer right there? Almost every player we've signed in the past 5 years either regressed or not lived up to expectations other than special players like Benteke.
  17. Not sure how Johnstone is supposed to be better than Gollini. At least Gollini has top flight experience. Anyway, Lansbury is a no-brainer. He's not as good as people would have thought he was, but for 3M he would be a very astute addition to the gaping hole that is our midfield.
  18. Yeah this. He plays well when the team is playing well and vice versa, and doesn't grab the game by the scruff of the neck...so it was to be expected that he would be awful alongside Gardner who's even worse in all those aspects. He's limited and can be useful in certain situations and for squad depth, but given the state of our midfield and our style of play...we can't really afford to accommodate him anymore. We don't even really try to keep possession all that much anymore, so he's pretty much superfluous to our setup now.
  19. Yeah I've been saying for a while now that there's no need to use undercooked stats to show how bad he is. His performances of late speak for themselves. Getting hauled off at half time is probably a better indicator that he didn't play well than any stat, accurate or not.
  20. Surely it's impossible to not make a pass until the 41st minute as a CM with 63% possession unless you're actively trying to avoid the ball at all costs. And even then, it's probably more likely that you'll accidentally touch it
