Giae has made reference to his 'playing ability' on a number of occasions, as have many on this forum over the years, but it appears that, as I am the only one that appears to have played at a high-ish level, I am targeted as some sort of braggart - it was over forty years ago and short lived, as I have often stated, and so I have only ever mentioned it to illustrate where I got my experience from to make my points and to explain how I made the contacts I now have in the game here and overseas.

I'll ask again - when have I talked about my prowess?

There you go again - going on about the level you played at.

A1. numerous times in passing remarks.

A2. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: I rest my case on the above statement: I have only ever mentioned it to illustrate where I got my experience from to make my points and to explain how I made the contacts I now have in the game here and overseas.

If I said it numerous times then it won't be hard for you to find some examples of it. I await the quotes.

2. Now you're defending going on about it by admitting you were going on about it.

What's your opinion on Ed Sheeran?

I refuse to engage in any more of your pathetic attempts to turn this into another of your boring tirades.

I have no intention of searching through any of your sad little posts to find examples of your statements - I have a Life, obviously, you don't. :roll:

So, once again you make a baseless statement and run away when you get called on it.

If Liverpool lose him in January, they are going to struggle. They've got a poor keeper, a pair of them in fact, mostly lousy defenders and, apart from Coutinho, a distinctly average midfield. No use having a great forward line if (a) you can't get the ball to them and, (b) you let in more at the other end. I can't think of a single team that's won the league with a crap defence.

There's talk of him being sold to Barca in January with Deulofeu + cash going the other way, but why would Barca do that when they can pick him up for nothing in June?
