    Can confirm, yes he is a nightmare to interview.

    He's also easily the best player interview we've had in the press room this season so far. I love him even more after his "answers" to Baz's questions, and he got a few laughs from the whole room.

    Lad just does not give a **** about it, clearly just loves playing football and wants nothing to do with the media. Don't blame him either.

    I tried to watch on YT and the live was just buffering. Might have been the reason not much was happening in the chat also.

    Thought it was my WiFi or phone or something but everything else worked fine.

    Dunno if it was something Ozant Northgraves was doing setting up the stream but at least he didn't **** up the intro I suppose.

    Had to watch the upload subsequently via twitter. That's where it said 79 views. I'd probs have been the 80th.

    Good episode once again. Enjoyed it.:emoticon-0148-yes:

    But the live was unwatchable on YT on this occasion for some reason or other.

    Was that after a win or a loss?

    I'm not sure why, but I'm starting to get the impression that your cup might possibly be veering towards the half-empty side of the platform.

    Don't understand it.
    Deffo a shift in tone under the current gaffer as opposed to far less criticism for much more 'meh' head coaches historically.

    Horses for courses. I don't even see that as a negative comment personally, he's just stating the obvious. We're still improving at converting chances but it'll come. If Preston had pulled one back near the end we'd all have been looking back at that 1 v 1 opportunity, the Greaves chance and the shots we skied.

    I suppose it's the difference between being thrilled at 7 returns in 7 games and saying 'yeah but he should have more'.

    7 contributions in 9 Syd.

    3 goals, 4 assists, 9 apps.

    It'll be a challenge for anyone to keep that up, but he's started like a house on fire, no doubt.

    I said could have had more, totally different to should have had more. But it's not the first time you've made up what people say is it.

    He's doing brilliantly for us as I've said numerous times. But just because he's doing brilliantly, it doesn't mean I or anyone can't point out just how good he could be if he improves certain areas in his game.

    I really think you'd rub people up a hell of a lot less if you read and respond to what they actually put instead of making things up

    Yes I'm terribly sorry, could have had more. What a total FABRICATION from me. That completely changes the vibe of the message that someone else pulled up, not me. I wasn't even directly responding to you, I was providing an example of the difference between being positive and negative when it comes to a player's stats.

    You'd really rub people up the wrong way a lot less if you didn't carry on with a negative slant at every opportunity and getting your back up about it.

    It's 7 in his last 7 games. Had no contributions in his first two games. My stat was accurate. I even posted the tweet that started this conversation.

    just finding his stride then, it's too late to argue but I'm pretty sure his first assist was in his second game.

    I may be wrong.

    Just let's not do a ****ing overboard fan reaction and expect say a 3 game run without a goal means he's **** or being mismanaged all of a sudden. He ain't.

    I'll post the stat again. His first assist came against Stoke.

    To be fair mate, Howden rightly pulled you up on the same thing less than a year ago.

    He's since turned his coat and I can't fail to see the turnaround and it's right the comparison should be made.

    But just remember, your attitude has changed massively too. From calling Acun skint, equating FFP restrictions to him runniing his mouth and pocketing Keanos fee a year ago at the very least, by taking a negative slant on transfers - especially re Greaves even when it was only speculation, being quick to write Tufan off etc...

    Most recently you were calling Lokillo a bit part player when he's shown so much more potential in recent games so don't start ****ing preaching again. Ffs.

    Lokilo is a bit part player, he's still yet to register an assist or a goal, which was my main criticism, i.e. his end product. He offers good width to support and free up Philogene, and he's great as a sub on in the last 30 minutes to inject pace and freshness, which I also suggested in my initial criticisms of him. Anyone thinking he was signed as a first XI player is kidding themselves. The intent was quite clearly to get Rak-Sakiyi and Philogene on the wings and have Sinik/Ally/Vaughan/Lokilo as depth options.

    Tufan has been in and out of the side but has certainly proved me wrong since we signed him and I've acknowledged that reasonably regularly.

    I criticised the Vinagre transfer and he's hardly proved me wrong.

    I stand by my comments on Acun's personal wealth, although clearly Ulker coming in to sponsor us should in theory help massively (although transfers still seem predominantly funded by outgoings so January will be interesting). There's a clear reason my attitude has changed and it's because we don't have Shota in charge anymore we have an actually competent manager. My attitude has changed for the better because the club is being run for the better. Howden's attitude has changed for the worse in spit of this.

    Howden and yourself might do well to note someone else actually pulled up Howden's attitude and then in response to a third person I clarified on why that person may take issue with comments along the lines of "He's doing well but could be better"

    Some of us knew Ulker was involved from the very start.

    You dismissed that too I recall.

    You ask about January.

    Well we had serious cash down for Davis.

    Fell through at last knocking but we have a budget for January.

    Vice chairman has said as much.
    Oh, and you should also probably take note that Howden and I haven't exactly seen eye to eye in recent months either.

    And someone who flies around on a private jet like he does, clearly controlls far more wealth than what Google tells you his personal balance is.

    "He's worth less than the Allams..."

    Well Assem didn't have the Turkish establishment behind him.

    Grow up ffs.

    Bully for you.

    Do you want Brownie points or a blue Peter badge?
