Arsenal fans are so funny

TBAG,

Does it really matter what their preferred position

===================

When you're comiling a list of wingers, yes.



Do you even know the difference between a winger & a RM or LM?

Of course I do, but my point is just because Iniesta isn't an out and out winger, I'd rather put him in that position than Bale because I feel he'd do a better job.

It's not really hard to grasp.

But if he's not a winger then how can he be put in a list of “better wingers”. I might think Andy Carroll would be better in goal than Szczesny, but it would be daft to put him in a list of goalkeepers better than Szczesny wouldnt it?

A winger doesn’t just need to be able to play in midfield, they generally need pace for starters, the ability to cross, dribble & trickery to beat players.

To be honest, your grasp of football knowledge does seem to be a tad low for a decent debate on this, so we’ll leave it there.

I was planning on ending on a similar note.

I get where you're coming from, but if Carroll is better in goal than Szczesny then he's a better keeper, regardless of whether or not he gets played upfront because he's the best upfront.

I'm just trying to say each position isn't mutually exclusive, I play at a half decent standard on Saturdays in CM. I then play pub football on Sundays and I'll often play as a full back, and just because I'd better in the middle, doesn't mean I'm not better than all the other dross full backs in the league. It's possible to be better in all positions is all I'm saying.

Anyway this has wondered into a pretty silly grey area that doesn't even have much to do with football.

==========================

I don't get what's about that?

I don't care about the team, I'm hungover as sin and just do a favour for mates.

The ..was for you putting your tin pot Sunday league in the same bracket as professional football.

I'm not comparing the two, I'm just trying to think of a relevant example without moving outside of football.

You might be best at English in school, and my best subject could be Maths, but that wouldn't stop me still being better than you at English too.

-waits to be accused of still going to school-

=======================

But if you've never seen me study English, how could anyone say i am better at English than you? Because that is basically what you are saying. You listed player who you reckon are better wingers than Bale, when neither you, or anyone else, has ever seen them play there. So how can they appear in a list of "better wingers"?

Its like saying Messi isnt the best in the world because Bruce Forsyth could be better, so lets put him & Terry Wogan as the best 2, maybe throw in Graham Norton as well, as he once played for the school?

Is just the most ridiculous comparisons ever.

I know what you mean.

I think I've seen the majority play as wingers, but I can't even remember my exact list now
