Dumbledores Army

I think the point that Neil is struggling manfully to make is that very few posters on here actually express an opinion, or at least express it in the afirmative or positive sense. We're all great at saying 'that's wrong' but Neil is one of the few who actually sticks his neck out and does things like listing the ten things you need to do to win away from home.

Everyone else just restricts himself to belittling the theories of the few who provide them and/or just saying Player X is amazing and Player Y is shite based on the last two weeks. No one else has theories or checklists, so when Neil comes out with them we remember them, not just because they're often spectacularly strange, but because no one else is providing them.

Neil is one of the nicest, most genuine lads I've come across on here, for all my continuous debates with him on here, I always look out for his posts and he always puts alot of effort into them anyway, he clearly loves his football and just like the game and like managers/players, has a preference for how it should be played, which is fair do's. It's not gonna stop me arguing the toss with him though.

Actually, I think we should a poster/team comparison thread....

Point.Of.Order.

We are not a 'second 11' nor are we a team of reserves; do you see Raheem Sterling in our ranks?

NOOOOO.

We are 2nd Platoon.

Consider yourself recruited.

Your remark about the members here being incredibly anal is hilarious, Neil.

That was a statement, not a question.

I was genuinely taken aback when I had to read my opinion on the physical build of a CM (a pretty pointless arguement in the first place) said a YEAR ago.

[/quote]

I don't know why you're so taken aback Spidey. For many on here it was the most hilarious thing they'd seen in the history of the internet. It was a legendarily bad argument. People will *never* forget it, *NEVER*.
[/quote]


Yeah yeah, ya got me. I read my own arguments back and cringe, I was spectacularly wrong and admit it. It's not often I change my mind about something but I will happily admit defeat when I'm wrong.

 

[spider-Neil]

Btw thanks for the kind words and support from the people who offered them it's appreciated 🙂

 

[Ijg]

Avvy, put me down mate.

 

[Avmenon]

done

More like He works hard at this posts, gives 150%, is appreciated by many, except a few grumpy aul wans. Is always one of the first names on the starting XI and has plenty of purple patches.

I find the lack of faith in 2nd Platoon disturbing

Full Metal jacket - some best bits

This notwithstanding, commissions are available

 

[Y1]

Avvy, thell them we are the SEAL team or whatever is the British equivalent!

 

[Avmenon]

The SEALS are all on their Playstation.

We're more akin to the SAS.

 

[Fallon]

That would be the S.A.S, which when not dicking about following orders to protect knobhead politicians are possibly the most elite tactical teams in the world.
