    Not sure what schooling you got as a kid, but if "shit" and "average" are comparable to you, you should ask for a refund. 

    He's a decent squad player. Not gonna light the world on fire, not gonna completely shit the bed either

    i was in top 10% of the nation mate, average was most certainly shit and not acceptable, a B wasn't acceptable, it was A or A+.  Same with college, graduated cum laude.

    Didn't you just have a debate with someone on here where you backtracked and said you actually think he's just average? 

    you turning into a pedant now too?  he's not good enough, shouldn't be starting.  had a breakaway and fell over himself when someone challenged him.  shit average ok poor, he ain't good enough regardless of what word you use to describe him.  if it makes you happy i'll refer to him as "not good enough" in the future and let you figure out what word you'd like to attach to that

  3. We knew he didn’t want to be here.  Should have gotten more, we paid more and he did well at PSG so his stock is higher, but this is brands so we barely eek a profit.  Just a bad signing from beginning to end.  The whole mom bit in the press conference, etc.

    You have apple TV? 

    Yeah my wife got it to watch Ted lasso she loves that show.  I couldn’t find anything on there really for me but I watch mosquito coast (based on the book) and it was like crack.  I could not stop watching it, was on the edge of my seat.  Loved it.  Justin Theroux is the lead actor, he’s good.

     

    its 5 bucks a month.  Add to that Netflix and Disney+ (Disney Hulu espn+) I’m at 35 bucks a month for the families viewing programs. Sure beats what cable costs (basic is 120+ a month)

    It actually says, "It’s understood that some staff at Goodison Park actually wanted Jebbison signed back then but people higher up at Everton chose not to strike a deal" which is a completely meaningless statement as it doesn't quantify where the line between the "staff" and the "higher ups" was drawn (maybe Jimmy Martin thought it was a good idea but nobody else did). Also anything starting with "It's understood" means the writer has no source, and no idea.

    When you interpret that as "we" wanted to sign him who exactly are you thinking "we" were?

    it always amazes me the rather poor standards of journalism in your country.  what's even more sad is that i was fooled by them  :( thanks mike, the bit you say on the "it's understood" is fascinating to me.  essentially the whole article is made up, without a source, just a journo pontificating.  i can't believe that is acceptable over there.  i'm not saying america is the bastion of quality journalism (it's not), but there at least has to be a credible source, and depending on the publication, multiple credible sources that are vetted.  fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.  i'm in the latter on this one.
