    Isn't it the same as Sol Bamba's? He's back to smashing Champ strikers with his massive swinging penis at the age of 53.

    We need to cut down the cancer chat on here before we manifest something.

    Under culture war conditions, many companies (with exceptions like Spoons) need, desperately, to be positioned on one side because urban liberals form a much greater share of their revenue base than do the other lot, and if your company was seen to be reactionary or even neutral in its outlook you're in for a cancelling. Ergo you get John Lewis ads like that. In a non culture war scenario, John Lewis wouldn't make that ad, or if it did, you wouldn't think anything of it.

    Everything is the culture war, the culture war is everything, welcome to the 21st century.
    This is bang on. Well done.

    Watching Jack Wilshere clearly not want to give up playing football but also know that his style of play means he can’t do the drop down the league thing is so depressing.

    Abou Diaby had his career ended by a bloke who works in a bookie now but where Wilsheres ended up is just as sad.

    I know people will say it’s Arsenal bias but I’ve never seen a player like him. His ankle being in bits is 95% his fault but I think if he played in today’s football where any mistimed tackle is a yellow he’d make Phil Foden look like an absolute no mark.

    This may be Anti-Arsenal bias, but I reckon Jack Wellshites downfall was actually to do with operation Yewtree.

    Diaby was genuinely unlucky with injuries, that tackle that started it all off was absolutely disgraceful.

    Jack was a great talent but his fannying about in nightclubs whilst injured always tarnished that 'what if' aura for me, as there is always the question of if he had knuckled down during recovery would he have seen better results on the pitch? Contrast that with the likes of Pires and Koscielny shipping off to live a basically monastic lifestyle to recover from their serious injuries and coming back fine. By all accounts he can stay fit if a team is willing to cater to a different training schedule for him, of course that requires a sympathetic manager etc.

    His career never took off. He may have had potential but if he never unlocked it. Its his fault only. One of my mans reckons Bellingham will be a hyperstar. Only time will tell. We have had players like him many times before. A good measuring stick for him is Fabregas.

    Every Sincere post is full of that mans shite and barely resembles English but you can’t say it because that’s apparently racist in your head, because everyone you deem has to be immune from all criticism for everything. You’re like a living embodiment of shit ever-offended Twitter. Also, Sincere is probably the most racist cunt on here seeing as you’re throwing it about.

    Calling out that covert racism is a real positive sign of the times, wp Phonics. If we don't highlight it, these gammons are likely to continue to live in their bubble of thinking it's all fine and any criticism is part of CULTURE WARZ bollocks so we're actually helping them become better people.

    There was rumour of Wilshere training and then signing with us, he must have seen how Joe Cole fell in love with football again during his spell with us and fancied a bit of that but then spotted Ben Sheaf and Jamie Allen and realised there's no chance he'd get a game.

    You'd be lucky to have Rodgers, he's a good manager. He's a moron if he leaves Leicester for your shower.

    Probably not a sensible career move, but the pay (and pay-off) will be spectacular, so as a professional decision it would be a no-brainer. Also every manager spends their entire existence wanting unlimited backing so anyone turning it down would be a bit daft.

    Also if he didn't take it and whoever did goes on to make them into the next Man City he'd probably regret it. And there's probably only so much further he's likely to take Leicester.

    I saw reports yesterday about Brendan but there wasn't any substance to it and he outright denied it. I think he'd be stupid to leave Leicester tbh, but would obviously take him.

    He's pushed Leicester about as far as he'll be able to really, but hasn't yet reached the point of the club/fans finding him stale(this will come).

    Ticks many boxes for the new owners and I don't see him fighting back if they start telling him what to do over something.

    I think it was more of a case he was not good enough anyway and shouldn't have been anywhere near the pitch. If I remember correctly weren't Arsenal winning 3-0 at the time and the horror tackle was on touchline in something daft like the 93rd minute?

    About a month, yeah. Goal side, he was pretty anonymous in that game, as he has been in other games I've seen him play this season (I think that may be his only contribution this season?).

    Has x player played well in the last 3 weeks (excluding scoring an excellent goal) seems a pretty shit bar to set tbh.

    Also I just checked. 10 goals/assists in 15 games. Should have left him leave on a free imo.

    I mean, I'm just asking a question since the last few games I've seen he has been complete guff, and we are a couple of months into the season now. Still, feel free be miserable cunt, rather than just agreeing or disagreeing.

    I am quite literally disagreeing with you and the very premise of your question.

    You just said he was complete guff in the game he scored a worldie?

    You just said he was complete guff in the game he scored a worldie?
    At least read my post properly, I said he was anonymous in the Liverpool game, which he was. But yes, he scored a good goal too.
    I wasn't planning on doing an in-depth statistical analysis, more just a passing comment. I had no idea that he scored 2 goals against France, though - that completely passed me by. A quick look on transfermrket shows 5 in 9 - which is a lot more than I thought - where is the 10 in 15 figure from?
