My take ...

[pommpey]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but why mock their names thinking you’re clever

I'm sure Ollie McBurnie is slightly less heartbroken than you are about me calling him 'McPub'. Have I missed anything about him playing his fucking heart out this season and whacking goals in by the hatful, or was him chucking himself on the deck at Selhurst Park and rendering himself out for a spell just a mirage? What about the clumsy way he 'leaves summat in' on every challenge?

and yes I’m happy to pull people up on what they’re saying face to face always have been.

Bet you're a reyt laugh, lad. Like I say, and like I do, pulling people up from behind the keyboard is a piece of piss. You're not a moderator on here. And you're not McBurnie's dad, are you?

Or are you?

I might not always agree with your assessments pommpey but it's the 'colourful' way you articulate them that I love. Notice that you seem rather obsessed with bumholes.... anything we should know about?

So according to you, no-one, but no-one, is allowed to opine in any way about how players play in the game of football.

Your measure is in the 'double hard bastard' super-tough bloke empire, whereby you call people out on their physical courage, not their ability. Whilst yourself, ironically hiding behind your keyboard.

Here's summat. Ever stood or sat inside Bramall Lane? Ever heard groups of supporters hurling abuse, negative comments, chants at our players when they've fucked up or had a stinker? Y'know, the cunt who gobs off at one or more players and never lets it drop, no matter what they do? I betcha never went up to said fans and called them out, did you? Tough guy? Bet you sidled up to them and offered 'em all out for a good old punch up in the car park.

Thought not. Why not grow up, laddo?

As with others who find it hard, just either block me or scroll past, eh? Your precious players (who I don't doubt don't know who the fuck you are and don't need your protection from horrid bullies like me) will still get paid, and still be footballers next match, next week, next season. What some know-nowt says on a dark, forgotten corner of the internet means fuck all to them.

And I'll leave the fact that you've only been here since on S24SU the beginning of the PL season for anyone else to make their minds up about.

Norwood usually........

In fairness, I do try to 'positively' mark him. Recently his performances have been less ping, slightly more zing. OK he's still legging people up who drift past him and almost pulling the yellow card out of the refs back pocket for him, but as long as he's not wasting our advantage by smacking it across the pitch, it's a marginal gain.

[Snake]

One thing I can't understand about Norwood is why doesn't he used his ping in front of goal? From 25 / 30 yards out why not ping them into the top corner? If he can do it 60 yards across the pitch onto somebody's chest, then surely he can hit the top right square foot of the net from 25 yards.

GRRR FELLOW FAN SAID BAD WORD TOWARD MILLIONAIRE ATHLETE I MUST AGGRESSIVELY CONFRONT THEM FACE TO FACE GRRRR. How do some people even get by nowadays?

By coming on here and, in the modern parlance, "chatting shit ". And probably doing it elsewhere as well. Rather than doing a bit of gardening, tidying the kitchen cupboards, or another "real " activity which requires even a minimal amount of brain engagement. At least Pommpey does give the impression that he thinks about what he puts, and you may disagree, but he puts it well (and with some humour, which we all need at the moment!!). And he cares more about the club than about the millionaire athletes, who at the end of the day are a bit better cushioned than the likes of us against life's ups and downs, whether it's Covid or relegation!!

He’s just a ‘low mark’. Slightly better.

I'm not on about pommpey at all, I'm on about the people that like to come into these threads with the pure intent of targeting posters like pommpey and DeadBat because they dared call a footballer a harmless word or didnt put the right number next to their favourite players name (I used to fall for this not too long ago but us being pretty shit for a long time made me alot more relaxed about football ). Its good to debate/defend a players performance but some people are way too quick to address posters themselves.

It's 'playing the player' stuff, once again. deadbat get's it in spades - and his posts and blogs must take fucking ages to research, compile and finally get sorted and broadcast in good order. And note, he's usually got that cracked within two maybe three hours. Really impressive stuff.

Then some berk reads them, the content disagrees with their digestive system (cue: bum or shit joke coming up) suddenly gets that low rumble and before you know it, they are pressing 'Post Reply' with the intent to give whoever has badmouthed a footballer in the team they support a right old ruddy telling off, like that's gonna stop them in their tracks and have them saying, "Y'know? They're dead right. Ollie McBurnie is a fucking goalscoring superstar, and that Oliver Norwood's ability to loft optimistic, yet-functionally pointless passes into the welcome ownership of the opposition, play like a fucking traffic cone and gather avoidable yellow cards is nothing to be cross about. Especially when we get trunked by Spurs at home, or Scumpton away. Bad me. Naughty me. No more of this 'My take ... ' ever. Just heaps of praise, applause, a hearty sing-song and tonguing of the old nineteen-fifties-tea-towel-holder (told you), as they trudge remorsefully off the pitch."

Or they can just lighten the fuck up. It's only football.

I can confirm it takes fucking hours to write a report like Deadbat . I once did one in his absence and very little actual work got done that day I can tell you!

Then again, if you're going to put stuff like that out there, then you're not going to please everyone as I'm sure Deadbat and yourself know only too well.

Please whatever you do though, don't let it stop you, because the majority obviously enjoy them.

I accept that to a point.

pommpey and I have a long history of disagreements over the Desso / McCabe / spending etc and maybe that colours my view of what he says sometimes. Ideally a poster's history isn't that important, but this is often a late night booze fuelled forum, not a formalised Oxford debating society. Having said that, I'll try harder not to call him a twat.

I would say however that I have regularly pulled up Deadbat on some of his legendary mean marks, but we manage to have a civil discussion about it.

It takes two (twats) to tango.....

Have you changed your medication pommpey? I thought your take was very positive and very fare. At this rate, you'll be pushing Deadbat.

Deadbat is in another league TBH. He is incredibly meticulous, microscopically detailed and unrelentingly forgiving, whereas I am just a cunt to those who fail to deliver.

Deadbat also takes prisoners in the Tufty Club podders whereas I'd have then lined up, blindfolded eating apples off the end of my rifle barrel and shooting them in the face if they dared take a bite (was that 'The Killing Fields' I saw that on? Horrific stuff)

United have turned a corner recently and started to play like the badge on their sleeves illustrates. I just hope we can capitalise on their new resurgence tonight and beat them there yammer-baggie-Skinner-Chiles cockends. I am expecting us to batter them to be honest. They know, and everyone knows, we are better than the league position suggests.

To be honest I never read Deadbat's stuff (no offence to Deadbat here, it's just not my thing). If I want to read something from a journalistic slant, I'll read the real thing in the newspapers. Also podcasts - can't be doing with them. I do appreciate that they are very time consuming to produce, compile etc, but if I want to listen to people spouting about the blades, I'll just go down the pub with the lads and join in myself.

Your stuff though I do like and can relate to. As an ex council kid and ex HM Forces myself, I can relate very much to your sense of humour and language. Not saying I agree with everything you put lol, but I do get where you are coming from.

 

[metalblade]

Funny thing that I cant be doing with podcasts for some reason. I will read peoples reports sometimes I agree with them other times I don't but podcasts I just can't be doing with listening to somebody chewing the fat over something I have just seen for myself. I think I have only ever listened to one in my life and thought surely there is something better to do with half a hour of my time. Mind you never been into chat shows on TV which to me podcasts are the internet version of.
