Numero Veinticinco

Woah, woah, woah... what’s wrong with plucking your eyebrows? I would only have one, very long, eyebrow if I didn’t.

Fuh-Kin BOOOOOOOO

That’s not really somebody hating him, it’s not somebody blindly defending him. It’s... pretty fair.

Two posts from his years and years at the club. Great. You were right first time about you calling this completely wrong. Middle of the road means not criticising unnecessarily, not being a nasty cunt and calling him names all the time. It means praising him when he has been good (I’m sure you’ve seen me do that, during your search) and when he has been poor, I say he has been poor. I don’t think he should be Captain. He doesn’t start every game, he isn’t one who regularly drives the team on. He’s generally tidy. Generally not terrible. Generally not great. On the occasion that he does grab the game, I’m the first one to praise him, because I’ve got no vendetta against him, but unlike you I’ve also not made him my pet project who can do no wrong. The middle road is being objective and unbiased. When he has been poor, I don’t want him starting. Not because I hate Henderson but because I like Liverpool more. Don’t do this to yourself, you’ve already made yourself look a bit daft saying how much shite I talk about Henderson, and how I’ve turned to misrepresenting people because I’ve been called out on my crap only to have to admit you were totally wrong and talking bollocks. My respect for you went up when you admitted that. Picking up the odd post and ignoring others just makes you look... silly.

In which case, I’ve no idea about that. Twitter is a bit fucking weird anyway.

I don’t really see much shit, to be honest. He’s very difficult to hate. People generally just don’t overrate him like they do with some of our players. Maybe I just expect the Captain of Liverpool to be not just good enough to start for Liverpool every game, but also be one of the best players in the world. Hendo has great industry and you can absolutely see he has value to the team, especially tactically, but he’s hardly Gerrard level. I reckon it’s faor to ask him to put in a top performance more regularly than he does. It’s not hating him or being a shithoude to say these things, mate. Ive seen our truly world classs was players get worse thrown at the TBF.

Agree to disagree.

That’s just no fun. I was hoping for a big argument and one of us flouncing. What. A. Cunt. I’m leaving.

For weather hater.

I wonder if he will go all the way back to his earlier years where I said I think we overpaid for him, then use that 15m to make it look cunty because players like Hendo go for three times that. I hope so.

No, I said 'I called him Brutal once' to which you sarcastically replied. I'm looking forward to you showing me this crap. Rather than, you know, you saying stuff that is about as trustworthy as what you just said. Something I've noticed about you is that you get a favourite player and, regardless of reality, you fucking hate anybody who doesn't lick their arse.

Reflexive neg. Pass it on.

Yeah, it's not like he's newly shite or newly amazing. He goes and does the same thing pretty much week-in and week-out. 7/10 Hendo.

You're right, I'm absolutely terrified. You're also right, I have changed the rules. I changed them from 'show me where I called him brutal loads of times and after 3 minutes' to 'literally whatever you like'. Quite unfair and afraid. Anyway, where is it all. Surely you can just click on any random thread on the forum and find 'SHITCUNT HENDO IS FUCKING WEAK SAUCE AND BROOTAL'. No?

Happy to retract anything that has been shown to be shite rather than you not liking my opinion. Can tge the first one please be me calling him brutal after three minutes?

Erm, you picked me up for saying I called him brutal once. Feel free to retract that now you’ve searched for it and found you were talking nonsense, then you can pick me up on whatever shite you want. It’s a free forum. Anyway, what shite? I praise him when he’s good, say he’s bad when he’s bad. Im pretty fair. I certainly have no hate for him. I do think VVD would be a better pick for Captain and have said so several times. You might disagree, but it doesn’t mean it’s shite because I think VVD, the best player in his position in the world, a colossus of a man, a rock at the back, and the first name on the team sheet with loads of leadership experience would be better than Henderson who is a rotation player. You’re acting as if I call him a shithouse cunt every week. I just don’t feel strongly enough to hammer him or talk smack. It’d be interesting to see what you find and how much of it makes sense.

Looking forward to seeing quotes without brutal in them. Looking forward to no mention of me praising him. Looking back, over my shoulder... Mike and the Mechanics.

Simmer down, Adolf.

Boils? A rolling simmer.

Very easy to search so you can show you’re not making it up and being a dramatic weirdo.

A solid professional. Rarely shite. Rarely great. Occasionally both. I praise him when he’s great, I said he is brutal one time when he was brutal. Hendo extremism is pretty beige.

QED

Yeah, I think both you and LFD do exactly that. You both get incredibly defensive when people rightly point out his limitation, you neg people who say anything negative about him - repeatedly - just like you did with Lucas. It's a weird fetish you have for certain players. I've pretty much taken the middle road with Henderson, that he is a solid professional, rarely controls a game but when he does he looks brilliant. He shouldn't, in my opinion, be Captain (for reason such as: he doesn't play all the time, doesn't lead by example very often on the pitch, and there are better candidates). There are as many people who do nothing but slate him as there are nothing but defend him. Most people are in the middle ground. It's nothing to do with people not knowing what they're talking about, they just disagree with you.

I'd go for a full English wank.

And a few think he can do no wrong.
