Mattock

No but I am sure he is a man of impeccable integrity

Creased

Gosh - there was I thinking football was about physical skill and conditioning, instinct and intuition...however it turns out its about academic intellect and eloquence.

Mattock would currently fit in at west ham , hoof it and see what happens.He will never be able to play intelligent passing football

jesus christ you are very thick

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

When Joey Barton is considered one of the most intelligent footballers, it really doesn't bode well for the rest of them. Anyway i think there is an inversely proportional relationship between intelligence and footballing ability just look at the best players, Rooney etc, you wouldn't have them joining mensa, plus i'm a genius and i'm crap at football so i've proved my own theory.

 

[dac1980]

But he can`t, he does not think quick enough neither does navarro

Apparently Gus rates Navarro as the most football intelligent player in the squad.

Exactly what are you basing this on? You seem a lot thicker than Mattock to me.

Are other football fans as retarded as this or is it unique to Brighton? Slagging off a player who hasn't even played for us yet and saying that he wont be able to play the Gus way. Yet Gus clearly thinks he can, because otherwise he wouldn't have signed him. But you know better. How?

20 years ago this wasn't an issue because retards like you couldn't have their opinions heard, but now the internet is here you can write it down for all to see. It's a shame really.

Surely a wind up?!

If not, this is up there with the Vicente booing thread as the most moronic thread that has ever appeared on NSC and they've both appeared in the same week.

I do hope he doesn't read this site. What a nice warm welcome to our club eh? Mutts Nuts, you really are a clown.

 

[Max Paper]

I know i am going to get ripped to pieces for this but,after watching his interview on player Joe Mattock is not intelligent enough to play Poyets way, he will not be with us for long.

OP added to my ever increasing list of posters to ignore

I think what you have identified here is the flaw in the internet and social media as it "gives everyone a voice".

Unfortunately there are people who utilise them as some sort of Idiot Empowerment Device.

Yes, I was thinking along the same lines myself.........IQ the size of Sussex, so how come I never got to play for England.........or Brighton..........or even The Dog and Duck Sunday league team (reserves)?

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I do hope he doesn't read this site. .

Apparently he might not be smart enough to understand it....

 

[Lethargic]

Unbelievable the guy has not even pulled on the shirt and someone is having a go, I heard we only signed him because we missed out on Stephen Hawking, still not convinced he would have done a job though despite the IQ.

 

[Biscuit]

The guy is clearly trolling. Don't bite.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

:thud: your going to get shot down in flames.

 

[seagullondon]

Rubbish. Take Clarke Carlisle for example- incredibly intelligent, but could be a clown on the pitch.

He voted Lib Dem, he is not that clever

 

[glasfryn]

sometimes makes me laugh people suggesting footballers are thick when most of them are earning more than most of us
I saw the interveiw and though although very cagey he came over pretty well

 

[Marshy]

Mutts is just generally stupid when it comes to football sadly

Im sure hes one who thinks CMS gives nothing to the side and should be dropped, says it all really.

But hes an Albion fan ....so i still love him

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Never, ever judge a player on their media interviews, which are necessarily anodyne and not exactly opportunities to display great wit or insight in the first place, even if you possess them.

Another post, by the way, which joins the long and ignoble list of those which have criticised a new player before he's so much as kicked a ball for us.

 

[JBizzle]

Footballing intelligence is in no way related to life intelligence. Take Jara Reyes for example. Clearly a good footballer and plays Poyet's style well but also stupid enough to a) get banned for drink driving and then b) get caught driving after banned.

Plus, Ashley Barnes plays EXACTLY as Gus tells him to play and (in my opinion) does it well despite being a striker asked to play left wing. He does however occasionally think a cup win equals 3-points...

Conclusion... OP must be
