How do you know I'm not already there? You really are a self absorbed prick. Fck off eh.

****ing hell. NSC is about supporting and then you get this. Yes I have had a horrendous time the last year and searched for help. This makes me a self absorbed prick, apparently and this was on my fb page, not here. Incredible. Anyway leave it now

I havent referred to ONE thing you havent posted on NSC. What are you talking about? You mentioned FB, I was referring to a post you made on hartys thread. You just mentioned "a dark place", I hadn't said anything before then.

You are the worst kind of self absorbed snowflake that you have the cheek to accuse the youth of being.

Don't want him back thanks, poor man's Trossard with all the agro to boot.

He was a wonderful player in the championship however.

Is the correct answer. Trossard has a lot of development to do to be a decent PL player but he’s already ahead of Knocky. I loved AK in the championship and he was instrumental in our promotion but he doesn’t have the brain to be a success in the PL. Trossard potentially does.........he’s producing a moment or two of brilliance every game (and disappearing for large parts so far).

He's also been absolutely outstanding at times this season. On the other hand, I'm still waiting for an example of Knocky being outstanding in the Prem at any point in the last 2 years (apart from the goal at Palace).

Face it - he's a club legend and will stay that way by moving on. More of that Bournemouth shambles and the memory we have of him will be unfairly tarnished.

I respect your opinion , but it's not really like for like. Trossard has come into the potter, attacking way of playing and Knocky was here 2 seasons under Hughton, where attacking players were asked to defend deep and track back, which Knocky did well.

Guessing everybody bar none thought Ali J was a pretty rubbish flop (based on his PL performances in Hughtons defence first systems) he looks good now the shackles are off and we play a totally opposite brand of attacking football.

Knockaert was never given that chance. How would Trossard have looked in a Hughton team?

No one’s mentioned it here, instead that he had an alleged slow football brain, but my take is that from PL match-day one AK didn’t have the pace to beat fullbacks. Which left him frustrated, resulting in the mad stuff such as a most stupid sending off.

In many ways, Ali J is similar to Knocky - he's scored a worldy in a sea of ordinary performances, clearly has a great attitude towards the club, but unfortunately hasn't done anywhere near enough to justify the label of genuine Premier league player. So actually, I'm not convinced that Ali J is good now the shackles are off. But in any case, I can well see why Potter pursues with him, but has given up on Knocky. Their styles of play are very different, and Ali J doesn't appear to have a self destruct button.
 










Well done Knocky

I was going to thumbs up this post as I agree entirely and would love to have him back as an option. Alfie Boe however, I would be happy to never see or hear again as long as I live. I know it is completely irrational and he's probably a lovely bloke, but I can't stand him.
Yeah. All of that. He's a cock.

First thing I thought when I saw this thread wasn't the Palace goal but Everton away.

I guess that pretty well sums up my thinking

Whereas ranting about kids not knowing they're born all the while you spend your entire life bleating about everything is just a superb way of conducting yourself.

Absolutely amazing that you can't see robust comment for what it is - you like to cry about it instead. Meanwhile, the kids these days eh? They just don't know how lucky they are apparently, and take offense at EVERYTHING.

Clown.

Wow, what is a robust comment to you reads as unnecessarily rude to me. Have you had a bad week? Some of your attacks on US on this thread are pretty nasty.

His pathetic rant on Harty's thread about the kids of today not knowing they're born, and should be forced to watch 1917, rankled with me but I let it go until someone else picked up on it. Not only does he not know anything about the kids of today, but for 20 years he's spent his life talking as if nobody has ever gone through what he's gone through. Well there will be plenty of kids who have gone through all kinds of hardship - a lot more than he ever did, and his eternal self pity doesn't change that.

So apart from the opening comment agreeing with what MattBackHome saw as blatant hypocrisy, what have I said that wasn't just a response in kind?

Clown, drivel, feck off, self absorbed prick. Not sure US actually insulted you in any of his posts did he? I just don’t enjoy seeing posters being run down like that. Did I need to comment? No probably not but I just felt a bit sorry for him :shrug:

I’m going to bring this up again. Why the feck are the Scottish football scores the first thing to come up on BBC football ?

Seems it goes PL and then Scots stuff when it should be the Championship if there is no PL football

BBC political correctness, anyone who disagrees is just plain stupid.
