I didn't, I called you out only after you accused people who disagree with you of being sheep, because that's twattish behaviour.

But it’s obviously not ok to have an opinion because you can see the initial reaction…

Of course you can have a wrong opinion, plenty of people do.

I could point out to you that most people thought David De Gea was decent, but not Ten Hag.........

It’s hard to call an opinion wrong or right. I think that’s partly why it’s called an opinion, but I’m a philosophy graduate, so what do I know.

You can have your opinion, I can also say that my opinion is that your opinion is absolutely mad bollocks. That’s how forums work.

I once threw a kettle over a pub. That’s the real quiz.

It’s not the opinion bit, it’s the suggestion that those that differ from your opinion are simple minded.

Of course opinions can be wrong, some people are of the opinion that space doesn't exist, that the earth is flat, that lizard people secretly rule the world, etc. On more subjective matters it's less clear cut but a guy being voted the best keeper in the world 2 years running gives a pretty strong indication that he's better than 'ok'.

Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.

I'm afraid of the dark
'Specially when I'm in a park
And there's no one else around
Ooh, I get the shivers
I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

It’s a World Cup season. Martinez will be back to his best.

Your opinion seems to be that because Arteta bought Ramsdale for £30mil, then replaced him for £30mil, we should replace Emi with someone else because Emi cried.

And you wonder why people think it is wrong.

I honestly don’t have any idea about the crying bit? Is crying good or bad?
