"Ball knowledge"

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Surely to God, the one and only person in Sheffield who'll know about McAtee
is..............................
from a Man City fan.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Please can people stop acting like they have any clue what our new signings are like that come from an Academy? IE James McAtee. Be honest, before the rumours - we had never heard of him, we had never seen him play before. All of a sudden a few Youtube clips and people are saying "huge deal, let's get it over the line"

Stop acting like you know what type of player he is or how good he is. It's embarrassing

Let's just see what he's like in a red and white shirt eh? Doesn't matter what he was like before he joined us, only matters in what he does for this club

So stop having football discussions on this football discussion forum in case you feel embarrassed for the people involved?

Cool

 

[Snowflake]

I've heard of him, I've seen him.

I'm also in the camp of... why are we acting like he's messi.

He’s better than that I have heard

 

[Alan Birchenall's hair]

Still one of my proudest achievements is putting him through the advertising boards at Staveley MWFC in a pre-season friendly and injuring him.

Best thing was I didn't even know it was him until after the game when someone told me he was 'ex- Man Utd'

I once tackled David Ford into a hedge on Arbourthorne Rec. He wasn't happy. Mind you, he was probably 40 by then. And probably had his plumbing business on his mind....

What the actual fuck, pray tell, is “ball knowledge”?

Listen here Charlie big potatoes, I know a thing or two. And you don’t. Alreyt?

 

[BLADES1988]

I reckon maybe 4 people on this forum may have heard of him. And i'm seeing way more people talking about how good he is what a good signing it will be.

I've seen him on fantasy premier League. does that mean I'm one of the people that have heard of him?

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Lmao, Bob.

knowledge of ball.

Yes Ricky sir

how cute - definitely not. But cute nontheless.

Say you know nowt and move on

He needs to get good

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

He’s a talent, nothing more at this stage.

Can see the Foden comparisons in terms of style but the clips show nothing as technically difficult as what you see in the Khadra clips and certainly nothing with anywhere near the same pace or power.

He’s that young he could even be completely awful next season and still end up being a great player in the future a la Ivan Toney.

Not pitching my expectations any higher than another Kieran Dowell and as we know, for every MGW there’s another ten Ben Woodburns, Michael Twiss and Michael O’Hallorans

 

[Brewster Cost £70 million]

You can find me in dempseys every weekend so you could say I have very good "balls knowledge"

You created an account years after he got banned but you know who he is. That’s interesting

If it affected his plumbing it must have been a strong tackle!

WTF is this here "ball knowledge" is this another of those extremely annoying phrases like "top bins"?

Bit of a low block if you ask me

Because this is definitely my first foray into the forum world… narna.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Could go either way.

City fans love one of their own to succeed, although he's from Salford, so more likely to be a rag.

Don't make comparisons to Foden. McAtee is almost 20 and Foden was a regular at that age, and getting minutes at 17.

Let's just be excited that we have a young, attacking team this season.

I think it's what you get when you have a paid subscription to all of the news outlets, play Champ Manager and know the names of loads of crap foreign players who you can suggest as great signings.

When you gain sufficient "ball knowledge" and someone then has a differing opinion to yourself you encourage them to "learn ball" whilst sat on a computer in your mum's spare room with a sock on your cock whilst reading the latest Athletic article about the Blades and being able to recite it verbatim in a conversation about football, it might not be relevant but that doesn't matter because you are showing your vast knowledge of "ball" to your 'friends'.

You might also have a blow up girlfriend or one of those real life rubber minges to use for pleasuring yourself.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

I want us to sign this stainless giant,good fit for Sheffield regarding his composition,decent with the ball.

Makes me think of the IT Crowd episode where they get an app to tell them what to say in football conversations.

"The problem with Arsenal is they always try and walk it in"

Yes your 3rd account lad

 

[LewishamBlade]

Yes your 3rd account lad

Your ball knowledge might be bad, but your poster knowledge is even worse Barney Tarqs educate this man.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

The phrase “Ball Knowledge” makes me cringe so hard.

 

[Tarqs]

Your ball knowledge might be bad, but your poster knowledge is even worse Barney Tarqs educate this man.

Calm down Ricky

I believe he’s a scouser. We don’t have much luck with them.
