I’m sorry you’re dead inside
The irony of you accusing me of obsession while you’re clearly keeping a mental scrapbook of mine and everyone else’s posts is almost too rich to handleI'm not going to engage with our argument because it's a pile of wank, get over it man - Good Lord
My opinions barely register but you've spent your evening typing a dissertation about me, you could have spent that time with your wife and kids yet somehow I'm the obsessed one.
Go and have an ice cream or something lmao
.I really don’t care about your opinions Shady, you think too highly of yourself—they don’t register because they lack anything resembling depth. What does bother me is how you consistently drag the level of discourse down to the kiddie pool on the forum, all while pretending you’re above it.
Your advice to ‘chill’ might hit harder if you weren’t here 24/7, wading into arguments without substance and evading points with Olympic-level deflection
Also, for clarity, my six posts today, including the one you’re frothing over, took a grand total of 20 minutes—the one you’re referencing? It was written in under five minutes while I was taking a shit—though maybe that’s a speed you’re unfamiliar with?
The reason I took hours to respond to that post is simple: I was ACTUALLY spending the day with my wife and kid; something I do plenty of thank you very much, although it’s something I suspect you struggle to do given how much of your day is spent tethered here.
Projection really is your finest skill isn’t it?
But hey, if this is how you choose to spend your time, who am I to interrupt your masterclass in irony?
As for the ice cream—thanks for the suggestion. Maybe I’ll grab one when I get home and toast to your ongoing commitment to being the forum’s least self-aware commentator, Vanilla suits you mate.
TSDR : You’re boring and offer nothing of substance.
Technically we can still win a quadruple this year.

Bro we're through to the semi final of the Carabao, have a night off and chill out
Errr, yeah I’m sure he was being entirely serous saying that being a football manager is the hardest job in the world if you ignore how on numerous occasions in the past he’s spoken about how he talks to players about how privileged we (meaning him and the players) are to be doing what they’re doing and how real pressure is people who have to work 50+ hr weeks to put food on their families tables, not those lucky enough to play football for a living.The prime minister comment was, the “hardest job in any walk of life” was certainly not.
Also how do you know he doesn’t wank off lions?
It was clearly a tongue in cheek comment, delivered in his usual dry and droll manner.
Nice to see him smiling in the interview and enjoying himself.
No!
Everything he says must be taken literally!
We will not have the evils of sarcasm and tongue in cheek humour cast a shadow over this forum!

I am perfectly happy and chill, was a great game of football, just more dull deflection yet again, you really have to try harder mate lol,
Take your own advice and do everybody a favour Shady, you’re boring and have nothing of substance to offer.
Great post.
I wonder who else that could describe?
Did you watch the video of him saying it? He was deadly serious I don’t know how you can take it any other way, it wasn’t his usual tongue in cheek comment at all.
My god, the level of denial.
I don't think you are happy, it seems like your focus is on one-upping me as opposed to the team who apparently support win a football match and get through to a semi final, something to celebrate
What do you think of the result, are you happy?
EPL tilt resumes on Sunday!
Mathematically possible.... As they say
Like he said , if we can get through this period with no more injuries and be in a decent position then there is a lot of upside , young guys getting a lot of footy and confidence from it , and some players understanding better what he wants .
Personally I think the future is reasonably bright , the only rider is that Levy has to hang his badge on him and get a couple of ready made players in to strengthen us .

Tough question to be asking , soften the demeanor pls .I don't think you are happy, it seems like your focus is on one-upping me as opposed to the team who apparently support win a football match and get through to a semi final, something to celebrate

Excuse me?
It's a myth that keeps getting perpetrated by design, we certainly have one philosophy (as all great managers do), but we have made small tweaks since we've had players out. Forster goes long way more than Vicario does firstly (tonight obviously he had a mare).
In the eight games since we smashed City, lost Vicario and started playing without our two CB's, we've had more possession than our opponents in 4/8 (Fulham, Bournemouth, Southampton Rangers), at an average of 51.3%. In the eight games previously when Vicario, Romero, VDV all played (excluding those they didn't), we out-possessed our opponents in 6/8 games (only ones we didn't were the City cup game and Brentford at home) at an average of 54.9%. Granted part of that is having an inferior level of players who aren't as good at keeping it, but I feel like we are noticeably quicker to try and move it into the midfield and the amount of direct passes has increased.
