We are giving a guy credit for going missing in the first tough game we have had this season ?? Sweet jesus - because he didnt get sent off or give away a penalty we are giving him credit ?? We should lavish the same amount of praise on odeargod too then cos he was awol too, and ben white never tackled sancho once either, so he should get some love too
He gets worse. It's WUM stuff. He knows it's bollocks but there's always a crafty agenda behind these type of posts. He's been defending Ramsdale against my doubts about him (perfectly fair enough) and on the Fulham thread he made some nonsense post, out of nowhere, that Ramsdale had won us the points! All because he made a couple of saves that a keeper should be shot for not making. He was obviously trying to lay the foundation for a defence of Ramsdale if (when?) he starts costing us points, when he'll refer back to spurious points that he'll claim he won for us. I didn't even have to respond, because someone else called him out on the bullshit.
Yeah, that's it, I thought Ramsdale won us the Fulham game with his two everyday saves, that's exactly what I thought.
Seriously mate, you're entitled to your opinion and things shouldn't get personal, but do you genuinely believe all of the stuff you post, or are some of the posts passive aggressive digs, or craftily pushing an agenda.
As entitled to your opinion as you are, I sincerely doubt that anyone else would actually credit Ramsdale for the Fulham victory, after making a couple of decent saves, but saves that any keeper would be pilloried for not making. Your latest gem above was that Xhaka was actually using his loaf in the Utd game and not making tackles because he knew he'd be sent off!
With respect, comments like those lead people to think that you don't have much of an idea about the game. Doesn't mean you can't follow it and enjoy it, but it's why you're frequently called out on here.
The Xhaka post was pure sarcasm. Finally, engaging his brain before doing something wreckless like we've seen so many times before. Taking a positive out of a disappointing result.
Yeah, I'm pushing a "woke" agenda to get ALL people on here to support the team, win, lose or draw. Yes, I'm a spy reporting back to the Kroenkes. That was funny, if a bit condescending.
Given your name Retro, I take it that you've been a supporter as long as I have been and I won't insult your knowledge of the club. Don't be fooled by the 89.
No one's called me out, as you state, they simply don't agree with my opinion. Wouldn't this forum be depressively boring if we all had the same opinion as Augie (sorry, mate).
Thanks Shu for pointing out people are entitled to their opinion.
I wish I could ignore this stuff, but fuck me it's hard.
Firstly, no, a last minute save is not a match winning save if it's a save that any professional keeper can be reasonably expected to make and that's exactly what those saves were. I suppose we'll now get involved with semantics and claims that if he hadn't saved it, we wouldn't have won. I think you know that it's not how people view "match winning" saves. Had it been the type of save he made for the free kick at Leicester last season, then I might agree, but I won't be calling a regular save "match winning" and I doubt many others will.
I'm afraid I don't follow the references to "woke" and spying for the Kroenkes. Nothing I've ever said and no idea what you're on about.
I suspect I've got quite a few years on you, but it's irrelevant. I don't give a damn if someone is 18 or 80, I'll judge them on their football knowledge.
As for being called out...you must have skin thicker than a rhino if it passes you by. One of Augie's responses to you is "Stop with the bullshit", but I guess he's only expressing a different opinion eh?
