I mean, you (and others saying this) could just go back a page a or so and go "oh okay, no one actually said that".

I put a further reply to it 12 mins before yours.

It was a simple comparison that a forward scoring a goal every 2 games and getting a winning european final goal (no matter how scruffy/dubious) around 20 years ago would be considered eligible for an individual accolade.

Take it that I'm mystified as to how any of that has translated into suggesting Johnson should be anywhere near a nomination in the current day, aside from intentional out-of-context replies just to make a hyperbolic response.


That being said, I personally think Modric has been the only worthy ballon d'or winner for well over a decade, as it turned into a popularity award and not a footballing accomplishment one.
I know well how innocent comments get twisted by the masses.

People on here tried to say I thought Johnson was as good as peak Bale because reading is hard.

I know where you are coming from!

No worries. It is frustrating when it happens. You can say stuff like "Managers like Fergie and Allardyce are old school motivators" and people will latch onto "I can't believe you're comparing Ferguson to Allardyce! OMG! etc". Some times it is people on the wind up
 
Still time to hop on board the £10 Hope for Haringey charity bet(s) - 6 left.

1. (My side) Johnson to finish in the top 10 in Goals+Assists in the 2024-25 PL season.

2. (My side) Johnson to finish in the top half in cross percentage of crosses completed of PL attackers playing over 1500 minutes in the 2024-25 PL season.

I'll still take the wagers up until KO tomorrow.

I'll take your wager mate.
I'm really good at picking losing bets ( bit if a fucking expert really)
Good cause 👏😌👌
As requested (in the wrong thread, lol)

Enjoy continuing to celebrate our triumph!


For the record, Johnson finished joint 30th with Delap and Mitoma. So I clearly lost.
 
Every time I've seen it looks like he got a final touch. Ball changes direction in a way that a touch is most likely to explain
yea maybe, the balls spinning a lot once it comes off fat boy, youd think with all the cameras there, they would have one that can zoom in to show he gets a clear bit of boot on it.

if he got a touch on it after shaw you would not say this after either.
