My post said that there "goals/assists and playing time were very close again this season", which was what people were replying to. I think Alvarez is definitely the better "City player", but Nunez is a fast, powerful player, instinctive player who gets himself into a huge number of shooting positions. I find the Andy Carroll stuff funny, but realistically, Nunez is way beyond his level.

I just find it amusing that players of our rivals are nearly always "rubbish" or "total shit" - put them in the Southampton or Brighton team and this site would give them a fair hearing, but stick them in a Liverpool or United team and they're abysmal. I know it's in part the nature of fandom, but it just feels off sometimes to me - I suspect it's partly because I enjoy beating teams that I consider to be impressive :)

I was only replying to the post I saw in which you indicated they had similar records, which is not accurate.

As I said in my reply, I agreed with some of what you said regarding how players are assessed based on transfer price rather than actual performance. But I did want to point out that Alvarez was better regardless of whether one is comparing them on value or pure performance.

Oh right, so the way they treat gays and women doesn’t put them up there with some of the most oppressive countries then? End of the day you’re defending cunts with a counter argument that there are plenty of others on a par with them.

Whoosh ....

Exactly who are you arguing with here?

Anyway, to your wider point. To western eyes, their treatment of women and homosexuals is oppressive, but to other people in the world, they are not for whatever reason. Is the western viewpoint the only one that matters? What about the African viewpoint, the Middle Eastern viewpoint, the Asian view point. Last time I checked, those regions make up a significant proportion of the global population. To you as a westerner, maybe the western viewpoint is the only one, but the world is large and complex and, whilst it may be moving as a whole in the general direction of western morality, it will happen at different paces in different parts of the world. Should we encourage such movement by engaging with modernisation projects or punish the non-compliance with exclusion based on our own standards of morality?

Frankly, I don't care much one way or the other.

Er yes. Strange question.

Are some bankers?
Are some politicians?
Are some estate agents?
Etc.

There's no formula, but it's obvious when you see it.

I don’t think it’s strange. He’ll be earning more & had more money but I wonder the difference of when it goes from greed to understanding your value / worth.

Hypocrisy and abandoning of sanctimonious proclamations are a good start.
Nobody objects to moving jobs to earn more. But if you have been vociferous and visible to support issues and causes your actions are now contrary to, and are abandoning your credibility for monetary gain - It's fair to say it's greed.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

It's both. He's perfectly entitled to do as he pleases but it exposes how shallow his LGBT support actually was, imho - I accept that may not be your view.

I doubt many footballers are arsed about LGBT issues. They probably just want to go to work and get on with their job like the vast majority of people. As captain of his club, if the club are supporting LGBT initiatives then of course he'll wear the rainbow armband / laces etc, but he's not on a personal crusade. Although I'm enjoying the schaudenfreude aspect to the dippers hero selling out, I do find it a bit tiresome when some people think they are entitled to dictate where a sportsman should work on the basis of their own social justice cause celebre. If we want to get on our moral high horse about KSA then their use of the arms we sell them may be a better starting point.

I think, lamentably, having more money than you could ever need tends to make people more greedy, not less.

Why you never get a round in?

Haha! There’s lots of things I can be accused of, but that certainly isn’t one of them!
