Haha I knew that could come out. Admittedly at one stage in time I was a reasonable fan of Koscielny but I think with the benefit of hindsight, I was able to reflect properly on him. I think my opinion on him started to lessen towards the ends of his time here.
Oh fuckā¦
Time for a confessionā¦ Youāve been going a bit ham on Koscielny recently, and I was like, āIām sure he used to be a bit of a fan of Kos, let me check his posts in the threadā
Which I did, and to be fair, I think youāve been pretty damn consistent actually. But I found that one fucking little bit where you begrudgingly said that by the standard of defending at that time, youād just about put him in that top bracket.
So I worded my post very carefully hoping youād say you disagreed so I could cherry pick that one tiny bit and act like I was dunking on you
nah you got me there bro. I had a feeling someone would anyway
We are all guilty at times of not being 100% objective about our own players (good or bad) at timesā¦ no harm in adjusting ones opinion with more data and time to reflect - sadly, in our political time this seems like the biggest crime of all.
I feel like youāre drawing a bigger, deeper conclusion from me bantering SRCJJ than is warranted haha
cough AC cough Yaya Sanogo
I wasnāt meaning to glom you into that category directly - I think him calling himself out moresoā¦ it is part and parcel of football banter to tease people for old opinions or call them out when they have changed
Is that hindsight or to do with his fading star though?
In 13/14 we only conceeded 21 PL goals aside from the capitulations against Liverpool, City, Chelsea and Everton. Iād have to rewatch those to see if Kos was at fault but I donāt want to. Still upset about turning down a family gathering to watch Chelsea hammer us. We could of scored first against them if Giroud put his chance away and then maybe itād be a different game.
I was with the āin lawsā and watched the match with them. Because it was the early kick off I then had to sit there all afternoon totally sober and stewing. I wish Iād swerved the whole occasion like you, awful afternoon lol
YESSIR LJUNG AINāT THAT THE TRUTH, CONSISTENCY IS THE HOBGOBLIN OF LITTLE MINDS AND ONLY BIG MINDS GO BACK AND FORTH ON RAMSEY FROM ONE EXTREME TO THE OTHER 100 TIMES
This gave me a chuckle on the train. Top work
Fucking hell that was 8 years ago? Doesnāt feel like that long ago at all. Was this also the one where the news of Newcastle scoring went around the Spurs fans at WHL, only for the thick cunts to realise we were still winning
Koscielny bottled it in cups but he was crucial in securing last day Top 4 finishes.
Apart from the equaliser in the 2014 FA Cup final injuring himself in the process
Cry me a fucking river prick
Bitching about the French national team.
Bitching about Arsenal.
Bitching about Bordeaux.
No wonder our defence looked shit since Mert was gone.
This guy was made captain too.
