The Gabby Appreciation Thread - Update: 4 year deal

[Percy McCarthy]

Okay.

Sheps: what debate? You posted your reasons for not rating him, then you posted what you arrogantly ASSUME is my reason for rating him. How about you leave it to me to express my opinions? Otherwise there's not going to be a debate is there?

BTW, who else were you slagging a couple of pages ago? Ah yes, you said he's just like Tony Daley. Hmmm...interesting.

Christ on a bike Perce, lets not introduce something that isn't there at all. A crap argument is a crap argument, a dick is a dick ( not saying that's applying to anyone in particular) but to start being inflammatory is a bit too far.

Can you kindly point out to me when I arrogantly assumed your personal reasons for rating him?
Please see moderators response a few threads back. No need to repeat.

[Percy McCarthy]

What have I introduced that isn't there? The real reason he doesn't rate Gabby?

all this silly bickering is like Jeremy Kyle without the DNA test

"This gabby debate will always divide opinion. Those who see him as a local lad and defend him to the hilt versus those who see through him being a local lad and what has or has not conributed."

[villastikz]

Debate, is that what it is - thought it looked more like a bunch of sniping and bitching.

"This gabby debate will always divide opinion. Those who see him as a local lad and defend him to the hilt versus those who see through him being a local lad and what has or has not conributed."

"those" does not translate to "in percys personal opinion"
Let's move on. This is tiresome.

[Percy McCarthy]

You're right. It translates into a dismissal of the valid arguments of EVERYBODY (including me) who disagrees with you (about Gabby's ability) as nothing more than parochial sentiment. I'd love to move on to a point where we discuss his worth as a footballer rather than the irrelevant rubbish that you introduced. How's that?

[Risso]

The little 'un teething at the moment Perce?!

[Percy McCarthy]

Yes, but I don't mind because he's a Villa fan. Even if he is black.

Then choose your words more carefully. Your imply that your opinion is the only valid one and that those who disagree do so only because he's a "local lad" which is a pretty arrogant assumption.

 

[Percy McCarthy]

Do you acknowledge that the debate is wider than 'those who are clever enough to 'see through' Gabby's localness versus those who are too stupid to do so?

Can't think whose posting style that reminds me of......!
