Lol 'beating a man' is only second to pace as the most overrated attribute that some people believe is crucial in forward/midfield players. The ball will always move faster than any one player, even if Usain Bolt was playing.

An efficient, accurate pass through the lines, especially through balls through the last line of defence beats many men, not just one, and usually creates a scoring opportunity to boot. It just so happens that this is Lamela's biggest strength and an area in which he is arguably second to none in our current squad. The fact that he can't 'beat a man' is a complete and utter irrelevance and only championed by those with a significantly basic or antiquated understanding of the most desirable traits in a player.

@Gbspurs infamy awaits you

Sorry took me a while to see this, been on the phone to Ant and Dec about some show in Australia.

Fuck me, you know you've posted some complete shite when this utter ****wipe not only agrees with you, but creates a blog post in dedication to said shite.

Congrats @Gbspurs

Edit, just seen how many agrees the original post has. We do have a plethora of plonkers on here. May Anubis have mercy on all of your souls.

BRB just going to add "king of the plonkers" to my custom title. I'll have more titles than Daenerys Targaryen at this rate.

The improvements to his game over the last 12 months have been off the chart. He's easily been our most improved player in this time. He appears to be faster, more skilful, more creative, more intelligent and more productive than ever.
Fair play to Poch, coaching skills like that are world class.

Very bold statement there.

Cram it, Matt. I speak to Erik on Snapchat and Instagram. He tells me that you're SC's worst poster and your form has got progressively worse over the past year.

So there we go.

I wonder who on here is Harry. *waves*


I don't care who it is so long as he knows most people think he's a ****.

And just in case he doesn't know- Harry Hotspur, most people think you're a ****.

Feel free to post that on your site. You ****.

IF he can regain his fitness recovering both mentally and physically I think he'll be very well suited to 3-4-2-1 as would allow him more freedom to roam a little more centrally.

Would be a very good addition to squad as would give more options (Sissoko shouldn't be played further up :eek::eek:).
Him, Dele and Eriksen rotating in the 2 behind Kane against bus parkers would be delicious

He should stay injured for another year and by that time he will have reached Messiesque status based reading some of genius inputs here Pmsl

Btw, people have made that joke already. It wasn’t funny then, it isn’t funny now. You’ll never be funny. Every time you post, everybody wishes that you hadn’t wasted your time. Your thoughts and utterances are so incredibly drab and uninsightul that it makes me long for the day Tiscali cut off your Internet.
