Yo, Mr Smuggins sir, not to want to upset you but I think you’re figures may be slightly wrong. Having cross posted your analysis somewhere else, and not taking the credit myself, someone challenged the figures so I have done some work myself and come up witht this :-

So from that, if I ahve it correct and I may very well not, it is :-
What’s about a comparison of words they can and cannot say clearly. Puel seemed to be making progress, but I couldn’t understand most of his post Bournemouth match BBC interview.
If you were anything like me…nobody was very coherent after the game…viewed of course through a beer, Cognac and mince pie haze. Anyone have a transcript?
Puel obviously struggles with the language and the grammar.However give him credit for trying which is better than Poch who we allowed to use an interpreter.
I could post the lottery numbers and it’ll still get downvoted, it doesn’t stop me being wrong, our team is worse through continued selling and our manager is worse than before as we got him on the cheap, he is out of his depth.
Yeah, I just read the downvotes so I don’t know why you got them.
But as I was one of the, now 5, downvoters, I’ll tell you why I did it.
It’s not the substance of what you’re posting, it’s the way you’re posting it.
I see other members are now questioning Puel, the team, our tactics, etc.
So you’re not alone in holding those views, but the language you’re using is unique to you - as is the frequency with which you make the same point in different threads.
…our team is worse through continued selling and our manager is worse than before as we got him on the cheap, he is out of his depth.
You see, if you’d posted just that then I’m guessing that instead of downvotes you might actually have got some upvotes.
