I don't mind it's my birthday.

 

[Joe Clash]

Huh? I was counting EPL games and not penalties. Unless someone wants to tell me they want to sign Leighton Baines as striker

You count penalties and he's played 36 games.

Wish Bobby all the best in the future, but it's just not going to work here.

Sad. He wants to be the guy, but it's just not meant to be.

 

[Raven_Spurs]

36 and 3 then. And I dont. Unless you are willing to play Leighton upfront

Well you must be a bit thick then. A goal is a goal. It doesn't matter how it is scored.

 

[Joe Clash]

Baines and Hart upfront in January, it will be amazing

That's some cockeyed reasoning there. Are you saying if you take penalties you have to play up front?

If you score them they count.

 

[CJJ]

If Stuart Pearce said Heskey was better than Messi, it wouldn't make it valid enough to use in a debate of fact.

Starting to think Gibbs has reincarnated himself as a stronger entity. Like gandalf.

 

[Joe Clash]

No, I am saying that penalties should not be included in a stat off to prove that a striker is not completely useless. Unless you are willing to admit that Joe Hart is a great striker

There you go again. Penalty stats aren't used to establish whether a player is useless, only if he can score penalties - and if he does, they count. They're goals. It's a skill.

 

[CJJ]

But Leighton Baines is a great striker?
I seriously try to read your posts, but my eyes start closing after the first few words. Ive seriously never met anyone duller. Its not what you say, its just how you say it

Good for you, Gibbs

 

[ChuckleShuffle]

What is your take on missed penalties then? Are they written off too?

 

[Joe Clash]

Okay, yes they count. As a skill. But not as an asset for a striker.unless you think Leighton Baines is a striker

I think Baines is a LB who takes a good penalty. You seem to be saying if you can take penalties, you have to play up front?

What about freekicks? What position takes them?

 

[ChuckleShuffle]

They make absolutely no difference to me what so ever. If Aguero had a zero from 1,000 penalty conversion rate and Joe Hart had a 1,000 from a 1,000. Id still prefer Aguero to play upfront

So if you every have anything negative to say about Soldado, you'd never bring up a penalty miss?

 

[Joe Clash]

But not as an asset for a striker

I think it's a great asset to have as a striker, but whoever takes them must get credit for scoring them. You can't dismiss that credit just because the scorer is a forward.

 

[Joe Clash]

Please see above

Which one?

 

[ChuckleShuffle]

Much harder skill, doubt Joe Hart is good at them. Still prefer Aguero to Beckham though

sorry?

 

[ChuckleShuffle]

Fuck it, lets sign him

Up front?

 

[Joe Clash]

Only in response to a moron saying how good at penalties he is. But in general, no

So you're a moron for saying someone is a good penalty taker? You said Hart was a good penalty taker.

 

[Joe Clash]

Much harder skill, doubt Joe Hart is good at them. Still prefer Aguero to Beckham though

It's a different skill. The pressure is off when you take a free kick because you're not expected to score. You are dismissing the mental side of the game.

 

[Joe Clash]

I dont even know whats going on right now. Replying to too many people at once whilst pretty drunk. But yes, Im a moron, Soldado is a fantastic penalty taker and better than Sheringham.
COYS

I didn't call you a moron. I'm not going to write "so one is a moron" lol.
