Im not finished yet.

 

I did say we could win the league and out both cups early or finish seventh again and be out both cups early.

 

And even if it was proved that I was incorrect with some points does not negate the fact that you have written off Flannagan cos hes scouse and can tackle basically, even at worst a broken clock is right twice a day and you should have your nose rubbed in John's next pile of poo. While Glen urinates on your face.

 

Sadly there is little justice in the world so the limited minds of the TLW crew will I fear be forever sniffening your winnets led by the least amongst them intoxicated by the emitted ego fumes that emanate thus forgive them lord. .

I can always draw comfort from the overflowing overdraft that is the truth, you sad urban puust you, if there was a sentence to be handed down to you then I suggest you spend an eternity with a ball and a wall where you might learn to kick it when your hearts really in cricket.

yes court, thats a good image as I always win in those places. Facin an eleven and I dont flinch at any deal, youre a plazzy toy in a happy meal.

[WhiskeyJar]

Surely we should be celebrating Red Cafus rise instead of bickering about who is right and who is wrong.

[TheHowieLama]

 youre a plazzy toy in a happy meal.

 

Well in here Den.

[Malarkey]

Love the way he controls the ball with his left foot when he's playing left back, even though he predominantly right footed.

 

It's the little things.

[gingerhulk]

I've just re watched the match and just before kick off, Martin Tyler said flanno is up against an established premier league and England player, Aaron Lennon.

 

After another solid performance, against a established premier league and 'England' player, surely he's got to get a call up to the England team for the friendlies before the World Cup.

 

Oh, he was in the fiveways chippy last night too. Good lad.

[J-V]

Brendan was right our very own Lahm.  I love that tackle at the end on Soldado.

[deiseach]

Oh, he was in the fiveways chippy last night too. Good lad.

And the Abbey Friar only up the road? Tsk tsk, Jon. That's like getting a tour of Goodison.

[Malarkey]

He's got it all that kid. His dad's loaded and he plays right back for the team he supports.

 

Little cunt.

[MLB]

I don't know what more you can ask from a young full back. He is going to be a great option for us in both full back positions next season.

Do you believe that 'there's just so much missing from his game' ?

[diamondjoe]

He's red all through

He's no fucking Cafu

Flanagan, Flanagan.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

He needs to get the picture they put on the squad formation on MOTD changed. It looks like a delinquent's mugshot.

[billypilgrimnz]

For the way we play, we need someone better at LB.

[bigmacbrownie]

What a player. He's improving all the time,  He has a good football brain, he's a tough tackler has a great engine and most of all a huge heart.  He can be guilty of switching off at set pieces a bit, but for his age, what a talent and a huge prospect.

No issues from me about him on set pieces. That's something he can work on and improve over time. It'd help him if our experienced centre backs could defend them better.

 

My issue is in a lack of certain natural abilities. I think those things will eventually stop him becoming a top player. For now, though, he is making the best of himself and is strong and aggressive in tackles.

Maybe I'm a bit harsh but it was his positioning for the Ki goal that sticks in my memory and there have been a few decision making decisions I would question but like I said earlier what a prospect.

No, not at all. You're spot on. He more than played his part in that. I just think that those are things he CAN work on. There are several things he can. Those are my reservations. I hope he can really kick on, though; the more local lads the better.

'there's just so much missing from his game'

 

From that I'd say you don't think he's good enough. What are these natural abilities that you say he lacks?

[rEddie]

The Next Carra. Great lad.

[aladdinsane]

I'm delighted he's doing well, but for us to really kick on long term, I'd like him to be a squad player. Great option to have who can give his all, though.

Its odd isnt it, he doesnt actually make a criticism of him in terms of what he offers, its sneering snobbery, he likens him to Downing and says flannagan is coming from a 'low starting point', whatever that means for someone who made his debut in a 3–0 win against Man City aged 18 he could only be referring to his background or something since he followed that masterful performance up with a stormer against Arsenal and then another clean sheet when we beat Birmingham 5-0 and went on to win our young player of the season award. I suppose thats why you should avoid him for the same reason he has avoided your question, that he is a snob. Spelt with a silent S.
