Mo Salah

[Rigadon]

God knows what Dan did but the posters who dislike him really don't hold back. It's makes tough reading, and I've seen worse in the chat rooms written about him. FWIW he deals with it with a huge amount of dignity

it’s bullying. Don’t understand why the mods are so passive. Dan does deal with it with dignity.

All this hand-wringing is a bit over the top. This place is pretty convivial nowadays - now that certain posters have left there's not much beef. Even Chris and Dan get along now!

Dom9 said he wants to duff up Dan Perkins after school and at the same time impress some Fat chick ....but he said sorry sort of and Slinky is putting all Est members on his ignore list.

Suarez, Fowler, Owen, Aguero, Van Nistelrooy, Cole, Yorke, Cantona, Rooney, Drogba, Bergkamp, Henry, Wright, Shearer, Ferdinand, Zola, JFH, Kane.

The record for goals scored in a PL season is 31. Salah is 3 goals shy of that record. I have highlighted some of the best players the PL has ever seen and none of them could achieve what Salah is on course to do this season. He may even beat the record for a 42 game season. Even ignoring he isn't a striker, the fact he doesn't hit pens or free-kicks (until recently) makes it all the more remarkable. As is the fact that it's his first season for us and he joined a team many thought weren't even capable of finishing top 4.

I was watching a programme earlier when it was nonchalantly mentioned that he was three short of that record. There was no fanfare about it, just matter of fact, as if this sort of thing happens all the time. TBF, we all do it. We actually expect him to score every game and when he does it's no big deal.

I wouldn't say we take him for granted, but are we all guilty of underplaying exactly what Mo Salah is achieving this year? What he is doing is virtually unprecedented and never seen before in PL era (any era possibly?). The fact we are even debating if he's worthy of POTY is ridiculous.


I'm not sure why I mentioned this other than I didn't want to join the Dan Perkins discussion and was I surprised to hear these stats earlier. I hope I haven't scudded him, but for the sake of Mo we really need to add No.6 to the record books to ensure he gets some of the recognition he more than deserves.

good post....

He'll be even better next year IMO.

He will be double marked and probably fouled to **** by the dog**** tactics of the likes of Allardyce and Warnock..... If he hit 20 plus goals next year it will be a very good achievement.

Plus he will take attention of a lot of our opponents and therefore free up space for Firmino, Mane Keita and hopefully another top player (Draxler please) to increase the overall impact of the team

Player recruitment has probably been the best in world football over the last 2 years. ****in insane

Salah cost the same as Benteke. Let that one sink in. Ha ha. Crazy ****

if you cant go ape**** at a bad pass or jizz over an amazing through ball then you are an emotional desert and not a real football fan. that boils over in the match threads because its an instantaneous response with little time to consider, so to get slated by some soulless creep for over exuberance only shows them up for the whinging old git they are. whoever they are.

Go to user control panel, look for Edit ignore list in the menu.

Got it. Thanks bud.

That's precisely what it is. The mods couldn't care less.

Come on. The average age here seems a curmudgeonly 40odd. There is a bit of mud slinging for time to time but it's usually met with the distain you'd expect from a fully grown man. , That's my perception anyway.

there are a few people [me included] who have been on the receiving end of the old clique drinking team 'bantz'
i believe that there has occasionally been some intervention by moderators but its important to report any issues to put the onus on the mods to step in and have a word. hopefully any repeats would then lead to some sort of slap on the back of the legs and/or the use of the naughty step.
i dont even know who the mods are on this site? shouldnt it show up on their title or sumfin?

[Norbs]

Nonsense! You just talk ****e a lot of the time and get pulled by other posters for it

Their names are in a bolder font than us regular posters.

You’ve never noticed that?
