Aquilani..

Even after upheaval in the club, a weakening economy and new government, it's nice to see spidey still doesn't make any sense

It is *impossible* to discern what he actually meant, and what his point was.

He gives examples that don't make sense in the context of what you think his argument is, so much so that it's unclear whether he thinks Vieira and Petit are typical holding players/ atypical holding players/ large/ small/ fat/ thin.

It's almost art.

This thread has brought tears to my eyes once more. How did this ever escape the Vault?
 
Poor Neil. It's reminded me of that scene in Father Ted...

"Let's try it again Neil, these holding midfielders are small [shows Neil subbuteo figures] but those holding midfielders are faaaar away (points at Petit and Viera on the telly)".

pure rofl!
 
SSN were reporting earlier that our medical staff reckon Aquilani's injury problem is now 100% healed.

Guess we'll soon find out whether that Aussie doc knows what he's on about then.
 
Can't believe I missed this first time round.

I always wondered where the gold camp Didi Hamann quote originated
 
Anyone who reads this thread would immediately want spiderneil back in the fold

"First of all I said aqualini was and attacking midfielder, the subject of physique came up, I said you don't need a big physique to be an effective holding midfielder. I then listed some holding midfielders who to 'me' don't look muscular of which two were poor examples (though they still don't look big to me) people then proceeded to focus on the bad examples an completely ignore the original point I was trying to make even though I admitted my error of some of the examples used. Each to their own but if someone else did the same I personally would have stuck to the issue I perfer debate but that just me.
If someone said 'tall keepers are more effective than short keepers' picked out 5 examples two of which were tiny I would of course have said 'hey, of those guys are short' but I still debate the original point whichout focusing on the two bad examples."

I mean just look at that.

It's like a Gordion knot that's been tied by a madman, dunked in superglue, injected with bad AIDS and immersed in a vat of simmering radioactive mercury.

It's that impenetrable and unapproachable.
 
Dear god, I just read through this again. Incredible stuff. I lost it when Sheik posted a pic of that 'goliath' sized defensive midfielder. So many lol's. I might go back and dish out some likes for the best posts to alert people back to this thread.

I loved how he got so butthurt about the "two bad examples" which were the only two he actually presented, both of which totally contradicted the point he was making.

"Size is irrelevant, look at Petit and Vieira"

Er, yeah OK. Both fucking massive and over 6 foot tall
