Lanolin's latest activity

    Nah sorry but ‘lighten up’ isnt it. He’s held his hands up and there doesn’t have to be a pile on but you can’t have a go at people for being offended. Play on words about a name is one thing but referencing the actual holocaust in a joke is a...

    Doak.

    In that case the issue wouldn't be giving Keane a new contract, it would be selling/not replacing Branthwaite. It's a completely different argument really.

    Nah Haaland visited dozens of clubs around that age and had his pick of them all. Steve Walsh makes it sound like he identified him and was overruled because it (obviously) paints him in a good light, but it's not what really happened.

    This is just a old wive's tale as far as I know. We were one of the clubs interested but Haaland chose otherwise.

    I know what you mean but i'd rather they didn't to be honest. The club have got a million ways to make money, i'd much rather have local businesses getting an opportunity to prosper and different offerings being available rather than just a...

    It's the same narrative as when anyone pointing out Patterson wasn't very good was called a sectarian. There's always got to be a sinister ulterior motive as to why people think some of this group of players are bad.

    As a cancer patient myself ( terminal bone cancer spread from prostrate) being positive is a big thing I was told in December 2020 I had 12 to 18 months to live. But I've had that new ground to aim for, and the fact that I paid £3,000 for a...

    That's not quite the same as us not scouting him or wanting him, it's just taking an unexpected opportunity when it becomes available. I think a hell of a lot more transfers than you probably think happen like that.

    Well it’s not that it’s ‘just’ you, it’s that you’re not the target market. Some people want a few jars before and after you like you, some people want a meal and wine, some people don’t want anything. If there’s not a market for what these...

    Hopefully yes. It’s obviously not that easy otherwise all the players I mentioned wouldn’t have the best part of a thousand PL appearances between them and people like max kilman wouldn’t be going for £40m, but yeah we can pretend like it’s dead...

    If they’re better than him then yes, obviously it does. If they’re not, then no it doesn’t. It’s not even a particularly complex puzzle.

    Lanolin replied to the thread 2024/25 Michael Vincent Keane.
    The opinions are understandable but probably not justifiable, that’s my point really. We see Keane all the time and so he’s taken on this bogeyman status where he’s seen as being much worse than he actually is in relation to other players in...

    Lanolin reacted to Lloydaldo11's post in the thread Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread with Unsure Unsure.
    Bit of a pattern emerging with Southgate not selecting him but blowing his argument out of the water by picking Dunk yet was linked with taking over the rags at the time and now Tuchel doing his former employers a favour by trying to sell Jarrod...

    It's been said a lot, but then it was also said about Moshiri at first, and Brands etc etc. In reality i'm not sure it's true. Alcaraz was kind of out of the blue (it was out of the blue that it was announced by Flamengo but then there was...
