Even hilarious when his fans come up with "he won 3 trophies"It still cracks me up when Jose talks about the Community Shield as one of the trophies he won with us

My post is the only context I have.I think they have been this season yet they win anyway.
Other teams waste chances or give away cheap pens.
They concede a lot, but manage to win by the odd goal.
I am surprised that LVG does not take credit for getting us to the final of the Community Shield, I think he has a little bit more class than Jose.Even hilarious when his fans come up with "he won 3 trophies"
We had a poster called Scholesy who took every opportunity to say Modric was gonna be world class. Poor bugger got so much abuse. The hero we didn’t realise we neededThe first page of this thread on Luka Modric makes for interesting reading now.
Some people still think we shouldn't have sold him.There were some posters years back who genuinely thought Welbeck was going to be absolutely world class despite all the evidence stating otherwise. The 'debates' became nauseating.
Beat me to it, was going to say exactly the sameRashford's potential being 'peak Darren Bent' was one of the funnier ones I've read.
People said that about Januzaj too. I remember people laughing at the disrespect of a potential 50m PSG bid too. I think he ended up leaving for about 12m.There was a thread on here shortly after Martial signed proclaiming (in all seriousness) that the poster wouldn’t swap Martial for Messi.
Peak Martial FC was a fecking weird time.There was a thread on here shortly after Martial signed proclaiming (in all seriousness) that the poster wouldn’t swap Martial for Messi.
The “Martial FC” stuff is really weird. He’s a good player like, but we’ve had far better centre forwards over the years who have not garnered such obsessive fanfare.Peak Martial FC was a fecking weird time.
Martial FC only exists because a bunch of fans don't rate the guyThe “Martial FC” stuff is really weird. He’s a good player like, but we’ve had far better centre forwards over the years who have not garnered such obsessive fanfare.
I don’t remember “Rooney FC” or “Van Nistelrooy FC” back in the day.
Same with OleMartial FC only exists because a bunch of fans don't rate the guy
Don’t think many people choose to be biased, it just happens (often with football fans because they watch more of their own player and get a skewed perspective). Plus you’ll see countless threads here (and elsewhere in the football discussion world) where countless threads will be made to justify or explain a players bad form, and the same leniency won’t be extended to a player of a different club.I do wonder, what is the point of being biased? Why not remain objective at all times?
LVG's foundations have gone into footballing mythology.LVG also had a massive club with fans that claimed he was doing great for us and stuff and put down great foundations.
His best position is actually sitting at home or in the stands.Dan James' best position: Left Back
Well, you've got another poster who is doing the same for Greenwood.Same with Tom Cleverly
I got dogs abuse on another forum around 9 years ago for saying Cleverly was nowhere near Paul Scholes quality
every year we have 1 or 2 future world class players coming through apparently
I do remember the Martial fanboyism. It got to ridiculous proportions...I agree but at the same time, I’m willing to debate with anyone that Greenwood is already better than Martial NOW. The guy is a starboy. Cut the off pitch crap out and he’ll win many Ballon D’ors. Martial was never generational. Mason is. The boy is already one of our best players.
Yep. I remember that.There was a thread on here shortly after Martial signed proclaiming (in all seriousness) that the poster wouldn’t swap Martial for Messi.
Yes... Left Back (at home)His best position is actually sitting at home or in the stands.
Yeah it was odd.The “Martial FC” stuff is really weird. He’s a good player like, but we’ve had far better centre forwards over the years who have not garnered such obsessive fanfare.

Who?Once upon a time, I thought Adam Johnson was going to become one of the top 5 wingers in the world. I thought he was so good.
I started that thread and I’ve never been Martial FC, the context which was missed at the time and has definitely been lost since was that I’ll always favour developing exciting young players over shoehorning in superstars and for me a key component about supporting this football club will always be enjoying the journey of wonderkid to world beater. There will always be more joy for me in a Cristiano Ronaldo scenario than a Robin van Persia scenario.Yeah it was odd.
It came about because there was a group of people that couldn’t accept any criticism of him and demanded he played despite him offering zilch for a while. If anyone dared say something negative they’d be hounded. It was really quite strange.
Since then, some have changed it to make out it’s simply people who like Martial and want him to succeed, which makes no sense because everyone could see the potential and wanted that.
Who the feck was that??Someone was so determined to discredit OGS that he "dug" into One's previous managerial experience and claimed that OGS screwed up Molde's golden age or something like that, that Molds won its first ever Championship prior to OGS joining. Problem is, said poster conveniently neglected that it was OGS who won the championship the first time round with Molde.
Said poster later claimed to be quite devine in his football analysis. Truly incredible
