[Albion] Joe Cole’s claim that we have “a similar level of player to West Brom”

[Danny Wilson Said]

More non coherent ramblings from a failed footballer.

Three league titles and two FA Cups - it seems our standards of success and failure have changed.

Classic Vagabond.

Pretty much your only contribution in this thread has been quoting GB and generally being unpleasant towards him, yet when someone does it to you you play the victim.

Gotta love the get out of jail free, card.

"I know I'm biased but ...."

It's an Albion messageboard we're all biased.

Some are biased and realistic.
Some are biased and hopeful.
Some are biased and disbelieving.
Some are biased and jaded.

&

Some are biased and completely off the scale unrealistic.

An odd stance to take from someone who's on course for 63,000 posts (I repeat 63,000 posts) when they've been on NSC for the same amount of time.

Whatever you say 60,000.

When I get anywhere remotely close to that number you’re entitled to criticise my post count.

 

[vagabond]

OP has a history for starting pointless threads to raise postcount - I've said in the past, postcounts should be deleted and we wouldn't see this kind of nonsense.

What’s the largest number of posts from this list:
- 22,067
- 61,506
- 7,238

What would Potter do if he was at WBA? Is WBAs failure about the players or the management?

 

[Elbow750]

I don't know too much about the WBA team but would any of their players make the starting 11 for Brighton ahead of our current squad?

Almost certainly if GP in charge. Anything to bamboozle the opposition with selections

Costa Pereira is class IMHO but Cole is talking utter sh1te

I think they would be in a similar spot. Main problem, just like in most cases, is that their squad is worse than other squads.

This logic amazes me.

For the best part of 20 years I've sat in front of a Microsoft computer.
By their logic I should be Bill Gates II, but in reality I still can't even get the cup holder to work.

Yep, and then you’ve got really good, knowledgable pundits like Danny Higginbotham who played the game but also work incredibly hard and do their research now, scratching around for work in the lower leagues, on local radio or the like.

He might not be the biggest name but he’s brilliant and can also speak correctly which I think does help in that job!

These media outlets really need to work harder than just going through their World Cup 2006 sticker book and calling up all the England players from that squad.

 

[banjo]

Did he mention the -30 goal difference from us too

He might talk crap but hardly a failed footballer

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Weren’t a lot of Brighton fans saying similar when defending the manager after results in poor pre and post Christmas runs ?

I'm a massive Football Weekly fanboy (so much so in fact I wrote Baz' Albion script for him after 'chatting' with him on Twitter, a few weeks ago).

No pundits, just respected journalists talking football.

Jonathan Wilson has forgotten more.about football than Joe Cole (or myself) will ever know.
He's also the original Bielsa love child.

He was on after the Leeds win, the panel never mentioned the Albion, it was.just Wilson talking up Elsa.
I thought that was a shame but hardly worth storming the barricades.about.


I did get titsy with Naylor, earlier in the week, as he was using one set of statistics to prove the different point he was writing about.

But AN's job is to discuss the Albion so he needs to be held to a higher level of scrutiny than Joe Cole.talking live on TV.

*nods*

In.

He's doing everything right.

Players are letting him down - through no fault of their own, they're just not good enough.

Another decent performance tonight, aside from Burn. Deserved point.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Don't appreciate you quoting me out of context to demonstrate a point.
.

Out of context? Your very next post on the same thread said:

"The results will come.

Maybe not this season, we just don't have the players."

Which is exactly the question [MENTION=34242]Neville's Breakfast[/MENTION] was asking. Similar is not "exactly the same as"

 

[rogersix]

Only a Brighton fan could get offended by what a pundit has to say about our squad. Why do we have to be such wet wipes?

you do dissolve into a tepid puddle on a regular basis

 

[Guinness Boy]

I've never believed or said that our players are of the standard of relegation certs like WBA (no disrespect to them), which is the subject and very distinct from what I was talking about then.

That said, at that time I didn't realise how good Sanchez would prove to be. I also underrated Trossard. So while my opinion has changed, what you have quoted is very different to what Joe Cole is saying.

Which is fair enough.

I've always been clear that I think this squad is much, much better than Hughton was ever given but I was certainly guilty of underestimating Potter and have changed my opinion on him.
