Yet we have seen these players play decent attacking football and score goals in the past (ok, well in the past) so we know the problem doesnt lie with their capabilities. We looked a quality side against United in the final and if VVD had been playing we probably would have deservedly won the game. Is it some kind of collective mental weakness where we only perform in certain games? Puel clearly struggled with whatever issue seems to affect this bunch of players. I really hope MP can find a solution. The Southampton football managerâs nemesis over on Fiverweb, Batman, has already started a thread on how long he will last. Yes, just 4 league matches in.
Banned mush, you go over there, loads of liberals I hearâŚ
What a surprise. Not many liberals, plenty of people with similar views to you though both in football and in how they see the world.
Seems a bit harsh Barry. Are they a bit precious over on this âSaintswebâ then? Never had the pleasure of visiting them myself.
Best not visit. Youâll come away feeling slightly soiledâŚ
Grassed up for being right, also for being negative.
You negative?
Theyâre not stupid then.
Explain please Barry.
Lallana transfer.
I donât get it. You said Nivia was leaving and got banned.
Bit fucking harsh, iâd say.
There we go, the truth hurts, people donât want to hear the truth, a bit like our shit method of play.
There was a bit more to it than that as I recall. As much as anything Steve Grant, who runs the site, wanted to get rid of Barry as he wound people up and wasnât exactly well liked or highly regarded. Barry gave Steve an excuse (a story about Lallana being in Liverpool looking at houses a couple of days before a home match, flatly contradicted by another poster who knows Lallanaâs family) and was promptly dispatched to the netherworld.
Barry, I think itâs fair to say, has been smarting about the injustice of it all ever since. He doesnât like to talk about it though.
So was I wrong? He was in the house with my mate a day after collecting the player of the season award choosing house colours, maybe Lallana didnât phone up and tell his families friend? Why the fuck would he?
Iâve no idea if you were wrong or right, neither do I care. But your mates do seem to hve a tendency to pass on pretty duff information to you at times, which you invariably lap up and pass on as the unquestionable truth. Letâs see now - ÂŁ81M bid for van Dijk accepted, anyone?
The fact is it was true so we do know, many people reported he was gone, same with Coutinho etc etc. Me being banned there was personal and childish, banning for telling the truth, and to pay a ÂŁ5 for the privilege.
Given that Batman is still allowed to post there, you must have surpassed yourself.
I feel for Barry.
Thatâs Banning and slapping the face at the same time. Such a non reason(fair play to Grant, he sounds like he knew it would keep gnawing away).
My sympathies Barry.
Edit: what is this ÂŁ81m offer, that only the player could have turned down?
His loss of a ÂŁ5, if bellends like me didnât post it would be a scarfer clapper echo chamber.
No matter what you say about Barry, Steve Grant and Boj are full on bellends.
Thank you chubby punter, I may be a bellend but Iâve never downvoted nor grassed up, a proper librarian me.
