That's an unbelievably crass and distastesful comparison you're trying to make. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo getting booed at Real Madrid? It's madness. People just target people and pin blame. Easier to blame the ones who have been their longest than the shiny new toys. Even if the one there longest is clearly (as mentioned by every opposition manager) your best player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wont impact on performance. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Twitter is a dreadful place. It’s a direct line between the worst element of a person’s personality and the outside world. I understand completely why a clubs captain feels a need to be on Twitter to keep in touch with the fans but I’d urge Bannan and indeed all players to switch it off for the close season and go and have a well earned break with their families. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telling someone their mum is dead because they didn't love them enough is thankfully not. You're either trolling, which is distasteful to say the least, or you genuinely believe what you're saying, which is actually worrying. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that running up to Bannan on Twitter (virtually of course) after that crushing defeat and shouting at him about his wages is perhaps misguided and very very poorly timed So yes My point was valid and my example was relevant Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wall Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I don't get the mentality of some people What's the thought process that leads somebody to get up this morning and think "I know, I'll have a go at our best and most hardworking player, for earning a wage he could have easily got with another team in the league above"? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly Bannan could have just stayed in the Championship and we could have had a different and less successful midfielder and not been in the playoffs 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your initial one was disgustingly misguided. But you keep doubling down on that, great look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
