    Got to say I enjoy LLs posts

    But I don't know why because I disagree with 99%

    On this one, I thought the 'get rid of Cook' one and 'Cellino's a jolly good fellow' were classics of their kind

    Nice to see you're enjoying my comments 2020, you enjoyed them on JA too if I remember correctly.

    You're entitled to disagree, I don't write my comments in such a way that I try and force others to change their views to mine. There's been a few instances when I've been right, and the odd occasion where I got it wrong.......it happens.

    Let me ask you this realistic question in regards to Cook,

    Cook rose to fame in the media cos of Redders loud shouting about him and Mowatt. Media reported some big prem teams were looking at Cook and Mowatt, they probably decided they weren't what they were looking for as they all backed off.

    Byram leapfrogged them both, irrespective of what's happening at WHU.

    Taylor has now also leap frogged Cook and Mowatt as our hottest property, the YEP poll claimed Taylor as our player of season, very closely followed by Berardi.

    Cook himself mentioned he didn't think he had a very good season so,

    In your eyes, what impact has Cook brought to the team, what is it that makes him stand out as our best player, in your opinion of course.

    I wasn't joking LL I do enjoy your comments. I've given JA up by the way

    Short answer on Cook - hes not our best but he has the most potential imho

    I don't think you have to analyse him too much, in most people's opinion Cook is a cracking young midfielder who we need to keep hold of and secure on an improved, extended contract. He's definitely not one of our players who needs replacing, he's one that should be first on the teamsheet along with Taylor and Berardi

    Hey'up Josh, no malice as usual.

    I'll gladly reply to your comments, but first let me ask you a question,

    All banter aside, why is that some, including yourself occasionally, reply to my comments by attacking and attempting to degrade me personally because I have a different opinion to them, but don't offer anything up by way of friendly debate or discussion themselves, discussion wise you're an exception; they seem to write in such a way that their opinion is the only one that's right and I, and others should change and align our opinion with there's; they tried that on JA, and they were unsuccessfull too..........it ain't going to happen.

    You have yours, which I respect, and I have mine and others have theirs, we are all different people who have differing or similar opinions.

    1) I personally think if BPF was ready to unseat Silvestri he would've done it by now.

    2) It's not a case of me loving the Italians, but looking at what they have to offer and the potential they bring to team, Cellino also brought in Berardi and Cooper.

    Bellusci is a player you can't call a namby pamby that's for sure, and I agree he's a little bit wild at times but he's played some good and great games for us and saved a few goals. Bellusci's made mistakes, but so have every player in team, some on a regular basis.

    In regards to Bellusci's free kick, yes it was a year and half ago, but what a free kick and what a goal; I look at the positives, not the negatives unless I see consistent inconsistencies like Wootton etc. Bellusci would be a good regular free kick taker cos Mowatt seems to have lost it.

    I accept people have different opinions of him, as they do about all our players, but I personally think he's been good for us in defence, much better than Bamba.

    3) We've pretty much had the same midfield for 1 and 1/2 seasons, and look where we still are. They don't track back, they don't provide defence splitting passes like other teams do against us and they leave to many holes allowing the opposition to steam roll and run right through us, that includes Cook and Mowatt too.

    4) I personally think 4-4-2 is our best formation, whenever we've had a lone striker we've scored very few goals and, since Redders started it with Morison, look where we are still.

    5) Wood for me wasn't our best striker last season, he may have got 13 goals but Antenucci is the better striker, and had he played regular full games I believe he would've had between 15 and 20 goals, it's a pity imo that we let the better striker go.

    9) Cellino's done nothing to make me personally hate him, irrespective of what others see. Bringing in the Italian to the board and Monk as coach was a good move on his part.

    9)<doh>...do you have an headache, try some paracetamol.........:emoticon-0105-wink:

    When it comes down to it josh, we're all entitled to air our own personal opinions, and I really don't give a whistlers hoot how many want too gang up on me, I ain't budging.....:emoticon-0148-yes:

    Antenucci was never our best striker, not one of the coaches he played under at Leeds thought so hence why he spent so much time on the bench. I think I'd take their judgement over a supporter who do does a player analysis after listening to games on the radio.

    LL, my less than enthusiastic responses to some of your posts are because you're either an idiot, which I don't believe to be the case, or a blatant WUM desperate for a reaction. Nothing personal, I just find the endless pro-Cellino/all things Italian crap boring, and insulting.

    Cellino will be spouting a load of bollox and Eire will believe every word of it
    Ristac will say i will give Monkey a chance then by pre-season will give birth to kittens

    Only change might be that you won't be predicting your lot escaping the pub league in an upward direction this time round.
