Derby moved up to second in the Championship after Darren Bent's second-half brace saw off a resilient Blackburn Rovers side.
Oh yeah ........ him
- Thread starter Smug in Boots
- Start date
Flogging a dead horse, mate. In five minutes flat you'll have a dozen people on here telling you it's a lower league, he's past his best, he's lost a bit of pace, or whatever other half-baked reason they can dream up for not taking a seasoned striker on a six-month loan when we were short of goals.
Perhaps it's because he claimed he was leaving Sunderland for a much bigger club and a glorious England career

And perhaps Mignolet used precisely the same words at Liverpool and got off with it?
He's Belgian
He spoke English enough when I read it.
Bent left mid-season to go to a poor club.
Mignolet left during the close season to go to one of the most successful clubs in the country.
Not really 'precisely the same' is it?
Liverpool were one of the most successful clubs in the country in 2012? Nice second try after the 'Belgian' one flopped. Keep them coming.
I think what Smug is trying to say is:
1 player was trying to further his career and 1 is just a greedy **** !?
I think ??
Well yes, obviously compared to ****ing Villa
Liverpool had a chance of the title ......... Villa had no chance.
If you can't see the difference then it's because you choose not to
BTW, historically Liverpool are one of the most successful clubs in the country.
Yes, I'm sure that'll come soon - quite ignoring the fact that a regular England place furthers a player's career.
I think you'll find that was the staff journo writing out the, 'Liverpool approved interview'

Mignolet wasn't playing historically. Nobody signs for Sunderland because historically they won six titles.

But it wasn't the Aston Villa staff journo in 2011, was it? The fact is, all players say that sort of thing when they join a new club. It's everyday PR.
