Why are you trying to explain to me the general issue of fixture congestion within the the current game like that's what I'm here for?

Once again, probably not reading my comments.

It's not a bizarre view really though is it? It's an easy thing for you to say simply because you want to defend your managers opinions.

He's ranting and raving just after a win about 1 week where they have to play one game less, where this has been happening on a much worse scale to other clubs around him.

Once again, feel free to disagree with my opinion.

1 less rest day*

I’m using those examples to discredit your post showing show other clubs have been worse affected.

What’s clear is that when managers feel aggrieved regarding fixture planning and congestion, they voice those grievances.

So Ole is no different to any other manager in that respect.

That’s the point I’m trying to get across.

Think there's a big difference between managers bringing up concerns over fixture congestion midweek like a normal manager. And managers who go on rants post-game after a win when they haven't had it as bad as others by a long shot.

But please, change my opinion for me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my main point. The manner of the moaning, and the timing of it, straight after a win.

But please, link me a press conference from 2019 where a manager discussed the topic of fixture congestion, and tell me it's the same thing.

Ah yes, that’s your main point.

And this is what I mean about your childish contribution.

All you’ve done is say ‘get a grip’ and post up the fact that other clubs have had to play two games in four days.

Perhaps this is a lesson for you to put your point across properly in order for people to have a reasonable discussion.

"Just an odd thing to come out saying just after a good away win, did he not mention it in the pre-game press conference? would've made more sense to discuss it then."

^

This is something I've already mentioned, but of course you didn't read that bit, so no surprise you missed it.

It's hardly childish is it?

Maybe you should look up the term 'get a grip' if you think it's childish.

And I've shown that it isn't odd - managers complain about the effects of TV scheduling and fixture congestion frequently.

I don't think the term is childish. I think joining an article with that as the extent of your contribution is.

Anyway, I'm bored of this - you're clearly not here for a reasonable discussion and you'll move the goalposts in order to try and make out that your original position was valid, when you admit you didn't even know what your own manager had said.

Now, apparently, your criteria means that complaining about fixture congestion is valid but complaining about an unnecessary Saturday fixture not being moved to Sunday is not valid.

It's all a bit pathetic - you're post rationalising an ill thought out comment and you won't admit you made a mistake, clearly, so I won't waste my time with you any further on this.

Am sure you're usually a decent contributor but here, you really haven't been.

Have a nice afternoon.

Is that the best you can do?

After you constantly calling my comments childish, simply because you can't read my comments properly.

Like I said in my previous comment you fail to read the bits that you can't call childish just to suit your rather empty and pedantic argument.

If you wanted to have a real discussion you could've replied to the bits that i brought up earlier, but like I've already mentioned, that doesn't interest you.

Read my comments properly next time.

good day

Just for clarity, I'm referring to your first comment as childish. Which it was. You weren't here for reasonable discussion and I correctly called you out on it. I'll paste it below, so everyone else can see how you're trying to lie your way out of this.

Wasn't planning on replying but just wanted to set the record straight on that.

So, that's proof you were childish and proof that your argument was flawed. Nothing empty or pedantic about it - I've roundly backed up my point and you clearly have no actual response to it, as your last few posts demonstrate.

Job done. Bye.

Moaning for the sake of moaning.

My first comment.

Thanks for replying, I knew I'd lure you back with my comment, it's too easy

Should've made yourself much more clear, my first comment was simply my opinion, without much explaining behind it. If you think that constitutes childish, then good for you.

Glad you back tracked, didn't think you had the minerals.

Have a good day.

"Just an odd thing to come out saying just after a good away win, did he not mention it in the pre-game press conference? would've made more sense to discuss it then."


Still haven't responded to this comment I made over 45 minutes ago regarding my opinions on it. Probably wasn't childish enough for you?

Just shows you pick and chose your comments to reply to, based on how lazy you are with your replies.

Have a splendid day Winston my good man.

Awkward.

Nice of you to come back Winston.

They should probably just get on with it, and use the abundant millions they have to construct a squad who can deal with it.

So glad you came back

You're welcome. I read the article this morning and thought you'd enjoy it.

Did you enjoy the games yesterday?

Only saw 45 mins of Leicester and then the Liverpool game... was mainly irritated by the handball situation watching those.

Decent weekend of football for United. Could probably have done with WBA holding on but Kane is my fantasy football captain, so it's not all bad.

You?

feeling positive.

Good weekend for us both it seems, although the crap football we play is not nice, results business.

Absolutely - if Jose can deliver you a trophy, you won't really care I assume?
