Socrates, the late Brazilian player, was a doctor.
Doubt he was that thick.

One - it's an opinion piece, not a news story. So it's YOU are wrong for making out that this is.
'Taking A Knee' isn't anything to do with American patriotism. Trump has tried to make it that, and you've fallen for it. Again.
Wrong way to post over the wrong issues by the wrong person to do it. Crap post.

Maybe Trump is BG? The pub landlord/Albion scout of days gone by was just a cover story....

I'm guessing, that getting LR in at the Albion, CH has surrounded himself with people whom he can trust and have a bit of nous about them.

Rooney is obviously thick as sh*t but if you listen to Stokes he clearly isn't which makes his latest debacle even worse.
Oh and I played squash against Steve Coppell one evening back in the late 1970's when I was a cocky rugby playing teenage yoof and thought I was God's Gift.
He was waiting for his partner to turn up (was rehabbing a knee injury) and I had been doing a bit of solo practise while waiting for my opponent.
We had a couple of games & he thrashed me without breaking sweat, seem to remember running into the walls a lot.
Brian Hall also had a degree.
What's happened to graduate footballers? Off the top of my head, I can think of Heighway, Hall. Coppell, Galvin, Neale and Gowling - all played in the 70s and had degrees (Alan Gowling had a masters as well) . You hardly hear of graduate footballers these days: is that because it's now so common, it's not worth mentioning or because there are so few? I genuinely don't know

6 football players with Master’s Degrees
The Premier League's Brainiest XI - the top-flight footballers with amazing academic abilities
From an Albion perspective, Steve Palmer had a degree from Cambridge University and Peter Suddaby gained a BSC (Hons) in Mathematics at the University of Swansea. Paul Fuschillo also had an economics degree.

He did read the guardian but apparently was quite a clever bloke.

Maybe, but we do seem to have been blessed in the last decade or so with some pretty special players. Calde and Bruno, I'm looking at you.

Almost on principle I have ne'er put anyone on ignore on here. You're the closest anyone has ever got.
But much of what you write is so predictable it's laughable and quite entertaining, which probably isn't the intended reaction. Keep up the good work.

I can remember reading something by Le Saux where he said all his team-mates thought he was gay because he read the Guardian and collected antiques.

You are so right. His seems articulate and can piece an argument together with a structure that makes it an easy read. Love the guy.
