Hoop Blah Long is the worst of our strikers though, not by a long way because Lita isn't a lot better, and your facts and stats aren't measure of his ability. They're just a measure of how well he's performed in terms of goals and assists (mainly coming off the bench where I would say he's a player more adept at playing that role than Lita).

I totally stand by those comments and I think they've been proven tombs pretty spot on.

Don't you agree?

cmonurz Yes Snowball, how dare these people have opinions. :roll:


It's not the opinions, Gwathoppa, it's the hypocrisy and/or double-standards, when put alongside current threads.

But it would require a moderate IQ and some subtle insight to see that.

How are YOU doing?


I'm struggling to see the 'hypocrisy' in the post you quoted. Perhaps you meant 'contradiction', but even then that makes no sense. I stated in that post that I felt Long to be relatively ineffective when he starts, and with 1 goal from open play in his last 25 league appearances (24 starts), I think I'm going to stick to that opinion.

And I stand by my comments as accurate at the time they were written.

But as I've said several times, Long has definitely improved, not that this means I think he's better than Hunt or Church.

I think Hunt could do as well upfront on his own and better in a two striker partnership, I think Church is a better player who would do better in a two player partnership, but who may score more goals upfront on his own but wouldn't do nearly as well on the less measurable things Long brings to the side in that formation.

Yeah brilliant joke, well done. I take it your 'creative writing' doesn't cover comedy!

Any chance you want to answer the question? Why bring the posts up when it's been pretty much proven to be correct?
