    This will become just like the Joelinton thread.

    Well that’s some multi-tasking right there! Thanks for sharing…..

    anyway, what’s it like at ‘the end’, worth it??

    Nope. And we still have no strikers.

    Well when you do enough of these, I guess you might get one right at some point.

    Point is nobody can be bothered to record and look back at the ones you get wrong, so we just keep hearing about Joelinton.

    Didn't Man City win the title one year without playing any recognised centre forwards?

    So Forest owner Marinakis has called an emergency board meeting to discuss whether to sack Nuno Espirito Santo.
    Crazy just 1 game into a new season, after the way they played last season.

    Ekitike the latest

    Anyway regardless simply looking at an appearance based stat doesn't tell you enough about a players abilities.

    OK, so edited to remove the appearances...

    So, just to be clear, Dibling (with
    2 PL goals, 0 assists) is an excellent buy at £40m.

    Whereas Elanga (11 PL goals and 20 assists) is not exciting and overpriced?

    BETTER?

    Agree. So how many times have you seen Dribble live?

    So, this is funny because Roly said he was Hedging, as in, either, hedging his bets about Liverpool’s performance level (he was responding to the question “did you not see Liverpool at the weekend!” (V Bournemouth they conceded 2 goals))… or he was saying he was cutting a hedge and therefore didn’t watch Liverpool.

    Anyway, his reason for saying “Hedging” is immaterial. You can ignore Roly and Roly’s post after that set-up piece.

    Now, when I replied with;

    “Well that’s some multi-tasking right there! Thanks for sharing…..
    anyway, what’s it like at ‘the end’, worth it??”

    I was pretending I’d misread it, or that I didn’t know correct modern sex-play terminology (it doesn’t matter which), and I made my reply relevant to “Edging” - this is a sex technique carried out solo or with a partner/s where someone’s stimulated to the point of orgasm but stops short of actually cumming. Edging prolongs pleasure and builds to an intense orgasm.

    so it’s a classic farce technique where actions occur due to a simple (and often silly) confusion that’s arisen.

    That’s why that was funny and you can now go back and “like” my comment, you pricks.

    The same amount of times I needed to see Ekitike live. Really I don't know what you guys are watching at all sometimes.

    It's like you can't actually see at all.

    My first comment on this subject was that dibling is a better 'signing'.

    I'm teasing you with the like button, but without actually clicking the like button.
    It will keep you in a heightened state of frustration for longer. <cheers>

    I thought this was a football forum not Aunt Ruth’s letter page!
