Italy vs England

[Judge Jules]

In that case what was he doing on the pitch?

Wouldn't Lambert have been a better option?

Also I can only judge a player on what he does on the pitch regardless of how long he played. People here seem to take the high road when discussing Lallana's 15 minute cameo.
I do wonder what people were saying about Aspas cameo against Chelsea?

It's completely and utterly ridiculous to attach such significance to one ten-minute walk-on appearance. Doing so has bugger all to with Lambert, bugger all to do with Aspas and everything to do with your monomania - no, it's not too strong a word - on this issue.

Serious question - have you ever been tested for Asperger's? I've spent close on 30 years helping to arrange education for young people who have it and your behaviour is strongly reminiscent of numerous case histories I've come across during that time.

Shit.

Even JJ has had enough

I feel like I'm the only one picking up on this at times and as though I'm over reacting, that post there, the last one, "guess what, only one of them plays for us". Seriously, could he any more blatantly wind people up? I refrained from posting it earlier, but I nearly touched on what JJ has just said, it's almost autistic, and I don't mean that being a cunt.

 

[Modo]

Unbearable, autistic, sad and Aspbergers.

Still waiting for someone to tell me why it was OK to call Aspas wank after his cameo and not Lallana.

 

[Judge Jules]

Oncy already did. You screened it out because it wasn't what you want to hear.

He was on the pitch to find space between the lines and hopefully pick the lock.
Lambert would never have done that against a packed penalty box.
For the record he DID find that space, and created 2 very good opportunities from free kicks which were wasted.

If you judge ANY player on a cameo that short against a top team then youre a bit fucking tragic.

 

[Hansern]

Thats the lesser known Asparagas syndrome

see that's a matter of opinion.
You think he did well, I didn't.
I think its OK to judge his performance based on the minutes he spent on the pitch.
For the record Aspas was fucking useless in that game.
Honestly, if Welbeck came on and did poorly, do you think people would act all high and mighty about it?

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

Why are people so nice to Lallana, it's not like we've signed him?
Is it that hard to say that he was fucking wank?

He should have picked Lambert when he took off Sturridge.

Oh and Welbeck is the worst player in the world, right @Spaghetti Legs ?
Didn't cause the Italians any trouble did he?

He really isn't particularly good though, hes way too wasteful and there's better options for England in his position, its a pity Walcott isn't around, Welbeck is very lucky Hodgson likes him, would be very surprised if any other England manager had him as regular first choice.

Saying that though it sounds like he done allright last night, fair play to him for that.

Fair enough.

 

[mark1975]

Yeah but you don't have an agenda against Wellbeck, it's shite reasoning really, people are gonna jump on the defensive because you're doing what you always do - grasping at any opportunity to slate him, while ignoring factors that would otherwise be important, like the limited game time, quality of the opposition. I guess by the same token, you littered the Chile game thread with adoration at what Sanchez was doing against the lowest rated team in the tournament.

Actually I don't really care about Welbeck, but if you check the Honduras thread, you probably won't, you'll see that it all started with me making a decent argument as to why Welbeck must start and why it will be between Sterling and Lallana. The escalation occurs when people here in a derogatory fashion not unlike you yourself argue against it.

Also, I didn't see the Chile game.

Thats a shame, you missed Sanchez being World Class.

 

[Frogfish]

Modo makes this site unbearable at times.
It's literally like listening to a song that you hate on repeat daily.

He's absolutely driving me, and many others on here I believe, to distraction. Virtually every other thread descends into this infernal agenda-driven repetitive child-like bickering with Modo absolutely refusing to have anything but the last word.

I've had to put him on Ignore - only the second person in EIGHT years. Even Sven wasn't this bad.

Didn't this place used to have Yellow Cards ? Like a week-long ban ? If it didn't it needs them.

Modo is the sole reason I can hardly bother to check stuff here anymore.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

Any past or present posters on TLW must be reminded of Code72 with Modo, they are not the same person but they are so so similar, Code was a few levels above though, he was a one man wrecking ball for that site.

No way. Code was the only person I ever had on permanent ignore. I have no problem with Modo. It takes more than one person to make an argument.

The recurring squabbles are dull as fuck though.

Code really was something else, for sure on a whole different level to anything i have ever seen on an internet forum.

Surprised you don't see the similarities although Modo is a lite version, don't think anyone could ever top Code.

It's because Aspas is a failed foreigner moneyball signing, and Lallana is a Premier League proven English gem of a marquee signing. Same with Barkley too really, I think he's massively overrated right now.

Personally though, I don't think Lallana's style of play really melds well with the rest of that England side. It'll become a case of everybody wanting the ball if you add Lallana or Barkley for Welbeck/Rooney. Its a sharp contrast to how much our players pride themselves on being unselfish, I don't know how well that week translate to the national team allowing a few newcomers to see a lot of the ball with little merit.

 

[Whirly]

And if you can't deal with Modo disagreeing with you about Adam Lallana, you must have been using the internet for about twelve minutes.

Yes, its just about Modo diagreeing with people. When jumping to his defense, do people actually bother to read the utter garbage that he's posted?

I'd say his arguments are typically a lot more valid than many would like to admit. Myself included at times.

There's a reason most just abuse him instead of making valid counterarguments.

 

[mark1975]

I've neved disagreed with anyone else on here, after all, so I'm finding really difficult to handle.

Honest to God..

Oncy made a fantastic counter argument before, but Modo just ignored and continued with his spiel

It's a 2 way street. If Modo doesn't want to have a rational discussion, then I don't blame people being fed up with his points quickly.

[FoxForceFive]

The daily mail with their usual perfect journalism standards here:

That would be 17.5 pints each. More than unlikely.

I didn't ignore it. I actually replied.

The opinion regarding wether he played well or not is irrelevant.
You cant judge a player on 12 minutes on a pitch against a team known for their ability to shut up shop. Its something a woman or a non football fan would do.
Youre usually better than this with your battles, this is just utterly retarded.
'Lallana was wank' based on ten minutes against Italy is daft mate.
