hackneyfox Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 Same. Him and Melrose. I'll never forgive or forget Milne swapping Melrose for English and apparently it could have been Lineker on his way out.
Guest Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 But not me ! If you want I'll be sad for you too. I loved Youngy as a player for us. He didn't earn the amount of money thrown around today and then he had the personal problems and the drinking problems which nearly killed the guy. At one time he was working at the indoor cricket down near Thurmaston. I'm glad he's got the RL gig and I wish he'd have won his bet.
Guest Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 The thing with Young is that's he's very much set in his ways. I don't think he's fully realised how much the game has evolved since his playing days. Have only listened to post match comments and found myself disagreeing with most of it. But that's football. Heard he's not very well liked at the club. Strolled into the selebrity match at the KP last year like he was royalty apparently along with his son (who he tries getting in everywhere for free) and when questioned he said "you know who I am" not realising that it was a charity event. Did the same at the town hall on Monday too, lauding it up like he'd lead us to the title. In his day he was a bigger star/hero than anyone on the team at the moment.
Babylon Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 So because it's Alan Young he talks shit, gets paid too much by RL and made a throw away comment. You'd be licking Gary Neville's arse if he made a prediction like that. Alan watches every game, he obviously couldn't see us getting beat and the way we were playing I don't blame him. No, because Gary Neville know the names of players and doesn't speak utter shite half the time along with Stringer. You only have to listen to the pair of them for one game to know exactly what they are both like. It's bloody soundbite central from Strigner and one mistake after another from Young. He may have come close but out of luck rather than judgement.
Babylon Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 Youngie not a Leicester fan? Presume he's also an Oldham fan then considering he played for them before us and played more games for them?
Babylon Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 He's an ex professional footballer with UEFA coaching badges. It amazes me how people who work in an office or a shop think they know better than him. You might not agree with him but it doesn't mean he's wrong. Well I certainly know the names of the players better than him, that's a start.
hackneyfox Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 Presume he's also an Oldham fan then considering he played for them before us and played more games for them? Since when has that had anything to do with which team someone loves?
hackneyfox Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 Well I certainly know the names of the players better than him, that's a start. He's beter than most of the other pundits we've had to put up with.
Babylon Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 Since when has that had anything to do with which team someone loves? So he wasn't born here, played for someone else more, played for plenty of teams after... seems to me he's more like a fan for hire.
Babylon Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 He's beter than most of the other pundits we've had to put up with. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't... but I'm not having he's some bloody genius for (almost but actually not) getting that prediction correct. If my accy bet comes up I don't think I'm a football genius, I think it was a stroke of bloody luck.
hackneyfox Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 So he wasn't born here, played for someone else more, played for plenty of teams after... seems to me he's more like a fan for hire. As I mentioned earlier he put in for the Leicester job years ago. Do you have to be born in Leicester or made your debut for them to count as a proper fan? For me there's no doubt he's a Leicester fan.
Guest Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 So he wasn't born here, played for someone else more, played for plenty of teams after... seems to me he's more like a fan for hire. . Fair enough you don't like him, but you're better than that final comment Babylon

Webbo Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 Well I certainly know the names of the players better than him, that's a start. So he gets a few names wrong, so what?
hackneyfox Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 So he gets a few names wrong, so what? Agreed, we all know who he means and I love that he gets so excited about us.
Babylon Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 So he gets a few names wrong, so what? You said he knows better, I pointed out something he clearly doesn't... that's what.
Babylon Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 . Fair enough you don't like him, but you're better than that final comment Babylon Actually I don't really give a crap about him, people kissing his arse like some genius piss me off more.
Webbo Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 You said he knows better, I pointed out something he clearly doesn't... that's what. I never said he knows better, I said people assume they know better than him. I wouldn't assume to know better than you on your career.
Babylon Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 Having a bad day? No quite a good one actually Not that you'd know ha.
Babylon Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 I never said he knows better, I said people assume they know better than him. I wouldn't assume to know better than you on your career. But you would if, I don't know, you saw me pick up a computer mouse with my mouth and tried to navigate my computer. You'd think, flipping heck the loon can't even use a mouse how could he do a computer based job.

Babylon Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 I can assure you my language tends to be a bit more industrial than that. Well my first draft was but I thought ******* *** the **** wouldn't make much sense. :knock:
john ridley Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 Bloody he'll if you think him and stringer are bad ,have a listen sometime to cov or derby radio , now that's bad !.
Babylon Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 Bloody he'll if you think him and stringer are bad ,have a listen sometime to cov or derby radio , now that's bad !. I'm appreciative that they could be worse.... in fact much worse.
