Rival Watch Thread Watch

You've shipped more than Villa, so I wouldn't start crowing about defensive prowess.......

 

Gtf, it was you who started the crowing.

But as you know Everton have got **** all to crow about this season.

 

Nope, my point was just that Valdes is ****. Everything else was in response to Tobes' #objective opinion of a game he only saw a few seconds of while reading the Liverpool board and watching Stoke play better than Everton.

 

BTW there was another discussion about what Everton could realistically expect this season. We can now add Stoke to the list of teams that are nailed on to finish above Everton so 9th is now their best possible outcome (requiring West Ham to collapse, and Swansea and Newcastle to continue to decline)

#prediction

 

i think given they've nothing to play for some would take 9th... first target is 40 points... oh i'm sure some think the europe will be possible i guess but i don't think lfc are good enough to play that let alone everton as i thought in august they'd a good side but they've blown it...

 

I've never been a Valdes fan but it is amusing that a number of Liverpool supporters were defending him and his ability on a thread on this board. Of course that was when he was reported to be signing for Liverpool!

 

I for one wasn't that keen on Valdes. Is he better than Migs? Yes.

But spending £100k a on a keeper who is not fully fit and still has the same fundamental flaws as our existing keeper is a waste of money.

 

Do you mean this thread? http://test.not606.com/threads/valdes.281465/ Yes everyone was falling over themselves with praise for him

... or maybe this one http://www.not606.com/threads/valdez-to-sign-next-month-subject-to-medical.276364/ - more of the same

 

I'd have taken Valdes as he's an improvement on Mig in the short term but wouldn't have been my first choixe

 

I think we can all agree two things

1. Valdes is far better than mingolet

2. Seeing an ex star playing kids in a virtually empty ground was very strange

 

Thanks, you've proved my point. The OP in the first link is "So our trial never happened I guess, and now United are probably going to snap him up. Even though they already have a fantastic keeper. We certainly don't. Going to be very pissed off if we miss out on yet another player we need."

So the thread was clearly started after it became apparent that Valdes was going to United not Liverpool. Obviously the OP was disappointed that Liverpool weren't signing him but unsurprisingly the majority suddenly thought he was crap.

In the second link which was started when Valdes was supposedly going to Liverpool there is enough praise for him.

You might argue that people's opinions weren't swayed by his choice of club but using Skylarker as an example, his view after United came in for Valdes was that "Valdes is ****e" and "Valdes made a fortune being a statue for Barcalona. The guy is a terrible keeper these days" (first link) but when he was reported to be signing a contract with Liverpool Skylarker's opinion was "Very good signing if it happens."

You took the time to dig out some commentary about how well Valdes had done in La Liga during the first half of the 2013/14 season.

 

So you base the opinion of the majority of Liverpool supporters on the opinions of a few posters on a thread on not606?

 

No, I base my opinion that "I've never been a Valdes fan but it is amusing that a number of Liverpool supporters were defending him and his ability on a thread on this board. Of course that was when he was reported to be signing for Liverpool!" on the opinions of a few posters on a thread on not606.

 

It took a few days for you to appear again after last Friday's humiliation at Cambridge, can't understand why someone as opinionated as you ain't got the bottle to give it the Billy Big Bollocks whether yoonited win lose or as on Friday draw.

 

So one person changing their mind proves your point ............. right

 

He must be a politician.

 

Well that was a left field comment! I'm glad you missed me although you obviously didn't miss me enough to notice that I wasn't around for a while before the Cambridge game! I was enjoying life on a sunny beach!

 

Maybe I should have just used the PMK tactic of posting a smiley to demonstrate how right and not bothered I am?

 

Fairy snuff, but it was only couple of weeks ago you accused astro of vanishing after a defeat, just like you had a legit excuse to be absent without leave don't you think he also has?
