And also Suarez. So maybe it all evens out!
Peter Hague showed his true colours in the "She's dead" thread. After that I treated all he posted with total contempt
Why are you guys ruining my Boring Milner thread with Peter Hague. He didn’t get on with me.
Milner supports social housing. Pass it on
He disappeared around the time you showed back up. I thought you were him for a while with some sort of alter ego name change.
Peter Hague was far too enlightened to ever look at a transfer fee, it was always total cost of contract for that visionary.
Bullshit, I don't think there anyone here, whiteboard or not, who doesn't rate Milner and what he's brought to this team, particularly in the last couple of months. Or Robertson, who seems be cut from the same cloth. You seem to be arguing with a stereotype of a fan that exists only in your head.
BTW, when Milner was just starting his good run of form around late January, the "football nerds" immediately took notice, and in fact you were the one doubting his ability (here's just one quote of many, I recommend reading it in context):

That's a very subjective opinion Brendan.
No he lost his left wing and leaned extremely towards the right wing.
He lost the love of his life in 2013
Christ has it been that long since I retired my Grave jig shoes.
He put complete faith in what one of the hacks used to say as signifying who signed who. Until said hack insisted that Lallana was finished in Rodgers' team because of the Firmino signing. Even though the same hack insisted Lallana was Rodgers' player and Firmino the committees.
He said the teamsheet in the first game of the season would tell us who signed who, because it would inevitably contain just Rodgers' own signings, or something. Firmino made 31 prem appearances in his first season under Rodgers. A game more than Lallana. So neither were the victim of any bias.
That's not doubting his ability, that's a fairly accurate description of his ability in an advanced midfield role.
Of course, I think you'll find a lot more positive sentiment about Milner from me, should you choose to look for it
WHAT?
I thought it was some kind of figure of speech / expression. Did he literally lose his hand? Is hat why he doesn’t type anything now?
Firmino played about 4 games under Rodgers and then Rodgers was sacked.
Well whatever, he started the season under him anyway and the whole Lallana/Firmino thing was a complete contradiction.
"I wouldn't play AOC or Milner in that advanced role, Milner is too lumpen and agricultural"
Odd, rurik, that you seemed to agree with this sentiment, although you did use rather more damning language:
"Milner is useless in attack"
"I really don't like the idea of Milner as a 4th-choice CM as I think despite his age and experience he's the least positionally disciplined midfielder"
"Milner played in the midfield 2 for us and was terrible – always drawn to the wings and attack, leaving huge gaps in the key areas in the middle of the pitch. I posted a detailed tactical analysis from some blog some time ago – it's not pretty reading for Milner"
"he can't be a full-time CM"
So yeah, we can't always get it right, eh?

I don't really fancy going back over starting line-ups, but I'm pretty sure it was a few games into the season when Firmino got his first start, because I remember wondering why he wasn't starting after we spent so much on him.
Hague put complete faith in this hack as knowing the ins and outs of who signed who. Hague insisted that Lallana was signed by Rodgers and Firmino by the Committee, so when the hack came out and said Lallana was finished at Liverpool, because Rodgers was ready to replace him in the team with Firmino, it undid his theory completely and he made a twat out of himself. And the hack was wrong anyway (I think it might have been Prentice, I can't remember now)
But anyway, my memory of it all is a bit hazy now, goes to show how obsessed I supposedly am with Rodgers, that I don't know when he left.
Oh myyyyyy
Hahahahahaha!
