Distin's comments on Stones

[Groucho]

He didn't say we weren't a big club.

Be honest though, lads. Are you insecure about the length of your phallus, is that what it's really all about?

Yes mate, I wish mine was longer than its current 12".

Anyway, while he may not have said we're not a big club, he has implied just that specifically by suggesting that by one day moving to a big club, Stones is not already at a big club ie. Everton.

Let it go chaps it's a nothing comment.

 

[Brennan]

We're not a big club. We don't win trophies, we don't challenge in Europe on a regular basis. Those are the only two metrics you can really use.

We're a club with great history.

He knew exactly what he was saying. If he said to a club that plays regular champs league football then fine. Esp when he knows how fumed out we get over comments like Rafael and jose. Silvan "one major mistake per game" Distin

He doesn't consider us a big club, like the vast majority of people in football. He knew what he was saying because it came completely naturally. Nothing wrong with that.

He knew what he was saying was an insult.

This. It doesnt really matter if anyone agrees or not, its the classic snide underhanded compliment. Talk us his mate, get a dig in at the club he's just left at the same time. Burned his bridges in his last year with us as far as Im concerned, and this basically highlights why. Has previous for leaving clubs with a sour taste and totally disrespecting them.

How this poll doesn't reflect that is beyond me. He so obviously went away with a bee in his bonnet with the promise of getting some satisfaction at a later date. This is it...and no doubt he'll return to the theme, the bitter yard dog.

I wasn't.

Cause i think it's pretty pathetic really to get upset over such an insignificant comment.

Why on earth should i care if someone thinks another club is bigger than the one i support? It doesn't make any difference to anything.

He didn't say that, he said 'big' not 'bigger'.

One is value-laden and an insult, the other value-neutral and not.
