Always looked an all fart no shit kind of player to me, but I suppose it'd be easier for him down at this level

Can we not word filter this? Twice in two days its cropped up. Belongs in the "don't tell me show me" category.

Sorry, I don't get the sensitivity towards this saying. Could someone explain, please? It seems a perfectly good phrase to capture one's impression of a player's ability, or lack thereof.

I dont think its sensitivity. Its just an over used insult that could use a break. Its a bit like "schoolboy defending" etc. Its just a bit of a yawn the thousandth time you hear it.

Boring, clichéd or a different opinion. I don't believe it's fair to try and control a posters use of language. Unless it's offensive, of course.

Is it the lack of incoming player activity thats leading some posters to troll others ?

Montero would be a very useful player in this division. If we can get it done we should.

As for 500k for Baker, that is a pile of tripe. It will have been between 3 and 4 million or there would have been no need or appetite to sell.

It's an insult and a right load of bollocks trying to tell people what words to use. This isn't North Korea.

I can't speak for anyone else who doesn't like it. For me, however, I'm not offended - it's just a really horrible image that makes me a bit queasy.
