strong and stable with me, or...
If you've never noticed how much he dives and cheats, and I mean off the scale, then I can understand why you might post this.
Last night he was at his worst most of the game. He is arguably the worst offender in the league. We're no angels, but no where near the standard of this serial actor.
....Oh hang on, I think I might be seeing what you've done there.

**** off Lino.
I thought he'd be getting dog's abuse on Owlstalk for missing the pen but he's not - Rhodes seems to be the main target.
The consensus is that he's on the way out: would we want him down here? I wouldn't, he's a good player but seems a bit of a cock

I used to think he's very overated, a bit like McCormmack. But last night I realised that he doesn't really full in to that category now. Just isn't rated

He is a cheating, niggly CJTC, but he does score some sweet goals.

Fishing 101 - calling Forestieri a "top man" is nowhere near subtle enough. Misunderstood or not that bad would have worked better.

When he's on form he's very good player. But I have sympathy for the Wednesday fans over his refusal to play. Granted he signed a new contract etc, but he really seemed to throw his toys out of the pram with that. In some respects though he's made his own awkward bed and now has to lie in it.
It’s something that can be extended to other players though not just Forestieri. When you refuse to play for a club until you get a transfer or new contract etc, the argument in support of this action is that players have a short career and have the right to do what’s best for them. Another way of putting it would be, “It’s their job and you would do the same in your job”. That might be a fair way of looking at it, but there are still ways and means of doing things.
Fine if we accept it’s a player’s job then I think it’s also fair to expect them to perform their duties well, all the time, every time, because like our jobs that is what is expected from us. If they start underperforming or being inconsistent they have to take the criticism because if we perform poorly in our jobs, we would equally attract criticism. They can’t at this point turn round and say “But being a footballer isn’t like other jobs”, because they’ve already used the argument that it is, by saying we would behave the same in their situation.
I guess what I’m saying is, I think Forestieri crossed a line as player where he has put himself on a pedestal and has to perform at a certain standard every time because that is the situation he created for himself. If Wednesday fans don’t think he’s put a shift in or is underperforming, then I think they are entitled to say “You’re not doing job properly”. I do realise I’m being high and mighty here, I think I’m just trying to explain why he rankles with me, probably more to myself than anyone else.

He's like a delicate little flower that topples over at the merest hint of a breeze.

other teams see Knockaert as a complete cock. He's one of them players that you probably love if he's playing for you and hate if he isn't. I personally would take him here with no hesitation.
