Pretty sure The Sun’s ‘supercomputer’ turned out to be a work experience kid with a calculator working average points per game

That was the ZX Spectrum, 31 years ago, when Liverpool won the 1st Division title.

Bet it was my packard bell one from the late 90s

Too right. Some of them managed to fuck Gascoignes career, and head, right up.

gazza discusses that in the James English podcast he's just done.

Yes but what you're showing is classic Confirmation Bias and paranoia. I have rarely heard such hype about a young English player like I've heard this week. The papers are doing features on him. He was the main interview on Football Focus. Talk Sport have talked about practically nothing else. I bet his agent's phone is ringing incessantly. Yet we've got post after post on here because some obscure nomark "pundit" in some corner of the internet probably hasn't watched him and is clueless enough to make a daft comment like that.

Your concern should be that Foden is getting overexposed and hyped, not the other way around.

To be fair Talksport were hyping him up massively today. One of them even admitted he had it wrong when he was spouting about 'he needs to go out on loan and he needs to play every week'. Went on to admit Peps done it right.

Me too, we must be the 5% ??

So when are your fucking planes going to start flying again, then?

I hope someone has the balls to ask Klopp on Friday if the five days off they've had will be an advantage over Leicester who will have played Wednesday...

A triumph of hope over reality.

I actually think that, perversely, and entirely accidentally, we’ve got the best of both worlds. This week, when (a) we’re playing a click bait club and (b) Phil destroyed them, the media is of course all over him and he is all over the media. That apart, I could count the number of Phil Foden articles or features this season on one hand, other than of course the Iceland stories.

He would undoubtedly get overexposed and overhyped at one of the red clubs. I’m not worried that will happen. He will still get that from time to time, especially on England duty. But he won’t get that constant week-in week-out scrutiny precisely because we aren’t a club that generates vast numbers of clicks.
