Roberto Martinez discussion

[Chang Elephant]

you stinking emo.

Er what? A pro footballer giving a professional opinion.

Used to think you were funny Dave but you must either actually be Bobby himself or his wife to show this sort of loyalty.

Joey Barton. The feller who's extensive football knowledge includes an assessment of himself as one of the best midfielders in Europe.

Handy rule of thumb: if that feller tells you something is so, the precise opposite is likely to be true.

Osman, Kone, Howard.....looks more like mental illness than poor managerial ability to be fair.

I'm not sure there's a need to compare managerial decisions to mental illness here Changy ?

 

[davek]

Just passing it on Dave. Would have done the same if he said Martinez was the second coming.

It wasn't aimed at you mate, just those who think it's a vindication of their position.

Joey Barton.

*sigh*

I'm all for bashing Roberto. But really, holding up Merson and Barton is hilarious. You'd get more sense out of two random drunks in the town centre on a weekend. They're laughable and not credible.

I think its a valid point personally.

Theres gotta be a reason he keep playing Kone, I cant imagine its something a man with full mental capacity does.

Do you?

If I want your opinion I'll ask for it.

Ive just been called 1 of the 3 best footballing minds on this forum, I demand respect.

Joey Barton, complete and utter biff.......but a professional footballer for 10 year plus so knows the ins and outs of the game better than anyone on this forum

Ha Ha Ha.

Yeah, he's a real sage.

• May 2005: Ran over and broke the leg of a 35-year-old pedestrian at 2am in Liverpool.
• June 2005: Had spat with a 15-year-old Everton fan at Manchester City’s team hotel in Bangkok and fined by his club.
• Septermber 2006: Dropped his shorts at Everton fans at Goodison Park. Fined and warned by FA
• March 2007: Arrested on suspicion of trashing a taxi after the driver refused to wait at a McDonald’s in Liverpool. Later cleared after cousin Joshua Wilson, 19, confessed.
• May 2007: Assaults Ousmane Dabo in Manchester City training ground.
• Dec 2007: Caught on CCTV straddling and punching his victim repeatedly in the face in McDonald’s in Liverpool.
• May 2008: Jailed for six months for assault.

I can feel the moral high ground now switching from the Martinez IN camp to the Martinez OUT camp. Joey carries so much respect.

I withdraw that remark, it's the sort of decision that someone recovering from a car accident head injury might make though.

Damned by faint praise there lad.

That seems a more sensible analogy, concussion can cloud people's judgement.
Carry on.

Thats not even close to a based viewpoint, ive driven a car for over 20 years, it doesnt make me an expert.

Just cos somebody has the talent to kick a football round, it doesnt mean they have a better understanding of the game than people who didnt.

Not a single World Class player has ever become a top class manager.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Lads stop it, I've like three of @davek 's posts. Barton goes above petty squabbling over Martinez. Surely we're not giving credence to that pleb.

Joey will one day.
