Bit harsh.


That whole thing is a total shambles.

No it's not - it's the exact opposite.

It made reading_fan share the link and made you and many others click on it and by doing that you all increased the site's traffic and (probably) saw the ads on it.

So the objective of writing it was 100% achieved. Most websites aren't benevolent charities who employ writers to be fair and accurate and to impart information to readers just for the sheer niceness of it - they want to drive traffic to their advertisers so the more they can get people to post things saying "Look how outrageous this is ......" the more they're doing their job.

Yeah but I was going to click on one of the banners until I remembered how bad the piece was and decided not to.

Getting you there as a "unique user" to make that decision is worth far more than not getting you there in the first place.

I quite like F365, and some of their writing is more interesting than most sites, I just thought it was a bit harsh on Noel as our representative on that list. However, the stats seem to back up his inclusion (lies, damn lies and statistics etc), so thought I would share it for the masses.

I guess the point is these things are hyperbole.

Feds makes this team.

Harsh - McCarthy was never far behind Federici. McCarthy's still developing as well. Federici wasn't the worst Premier League goalkeeper this season - he did quite well.

It's hardly surprising some of our players are going to be included in the Duffers XI - McAnuff was gash most of the season and so were a number of others.

TBF our defence were so bad that there was mostly 10-20 shots flying in every game and as a goalie you are likely to make mistakes but I think that Feds did make too many and cost us quite a lot of points

Name any other Premier League goalkeeper who cost his team at least 7 points, and dropped massive clangers like Flapperici did?


Al-Habsi, Hart, Foster, Bunn, Davies etcetcetc

Think McAnuff will leave this summer. He's too good for championship level and heard a few teams after him already.
How much would we get? £2m?
