I also find it bizarre how I make one passing comment on my personal opinion and suddenly half a dozen people are piling in.

well quite Ian

Some classify “bizarre” as being “precious”


no malice

Nah, being precious is running off in a sulk because someone told you they think you're wrong.

Yeah.

Shame on him for wanting more money and to better his career

I think Ian is the sort of person to never have had a job promotion because he is comfortable working gthe drive thru

Nope.

What a strange, barely related mini rant to try and insult you..

Christ I get not agreeing that a player who had his head turned equals he has a bad attitude but turning that into a personal dig at you is childish and odd.

I forget sometime when I disagree with you that you do put up with quite a lot of random crap like this on here. I've probably been guilty of it at some point.

[tmesis]

the only thing that really matters is how good he is at his new role.

Yep. I'd have thought his contact with the first team would be minimal to none, so there'd be little chance of any personal attitude, good or bad, having any significance.

I just have to hope he does a good job picking out promising players, as that's an area we've been absolutely abysmal in for the last few years.

....our greatest ever left back and one of the best the league has ever seen.

One of the best the league has ever seen? Really?

Yes.

Name 5 better ones

[Snowflake Royal]

Ashley Cole, Wayne Bridge, Ryan Bertrand, Ian Harte...
That's an instant 4 and three have played for us!

I'll assume you mean the Championship division of the English Football League rather than the entire English league. Otherwise I could name loads more comfortably.

[Hoop Blah]

Yes.

I can't, I'm under a water tight NDA.

I assume you are talking about Cole/Bridge/Harte/Bertrand in their entire careers and not just in the championship? Only Harte comes close to how good Shorey was for us in the championship.

[The Enfield Royal71]

It's because you can't and I am right

So let me get this straight . Shorey is one of the greatest left backs in the English second tier provided you ignore all the really good left backs who stepped down in their twilight and all the ones who stepped up before they reached their best, and if it's a full moon and you exclude anyone who wears red.

Ok.

Ok.

I fail to see how you equate me saying he is one of the top 5 players in the Championship based on his form in that league to then you deciding to assume I mean every player who has ever played in the League even if they were terrible in it. That is non-sensical.

So if you tell me who the best ever Reading 11 was, you would say Daniel Carrico because he has won the Europa League multiple times with Sevilla? Which is what you are saying in that Cole was better because he won a crap ton of trophies.

You logic makes absolutely no sense

I get you need to be it for your job but this is an internet portal and You are ridiculously over-literal and dense mate. Its a tad laughable.

[Snowflake Royal]

Is accusing someone of being too literal because you get called on crazy claims the new "I was fishing" excuse?

[The Enfield Royal71]

It wasn't a crazy claim. You know I am right and you can't admit it.

You said that players who have played in the championship before they were top players or after (Ashley Cole) are better then Shorey was just in the Championship.

You are therefore saying Daniel Carrico is in our best ever 11.

If I DD you are LL

Literally Laughable

Thats 2 of you in the wrong camp then. I suppose this is another bashing session and if somebody else said it you would be sucking up to them.

I just can't believe you both think that Carrico would make our best ever 11 based on your LOLogic.

[SCIAG]

I understand what Enfield's saying.

If we go since the "formation" of the Championship in 2004 or whenever, then based on performances in the second tier I think Shorey would be up there with Fox, Baines, and young Gareth Bale. Probably a case for Bridge at Brighton.

Doubtless I've missed someone obvious.

Thanks. Finally some sense.
