Yes they are. But most such people fight tooth and nail for their view points on here creating utter toxicity only to concede the exact opposite view point a week later ? If you know your opinions can change why create toxicity in the group in every single discussion ?

Well look, if people think my posts are shit, they're shit and that's fine.

I admittedly have gone overboard in a few of my old posts, that much is evident and I wouldn't try to deny it. I just think it's important to do a totally honest assessment of what a player is, maybe I'm too negative but we have incredibly tough challenges in front of us this year. Pretty good won't win us a trophy. Excellence is required. N'Dombele and Lo Celso burnt me in a way that makes me incredibly skeptical of every new signing we make.

So anyways, far too much time wasted on this and I'm sure it's derailed the thread quite a bit. I'll stick to football from now on. Clearly my posting is bothering a lot of people and I'm more than OK being called out on it.

All I'm ever trying to do is promote discussion. anyways, back to Zaniolo...
that's perfectly fine, mate. And I wouldn't want you to feel you can't post anymore.

Just that by posting something very negative about a player, a little OTT maybe, and then a few days later making a positive post is not going to do you many favours in future.

Be sure the next time you post something negative about a player we are linked to, most people will just disregard your concerns, even if they are legitimate.

Your posts about Zaniolo maybe legitimate and you are right that we shouldn't just sing from the hymn sheet every time FP and Conte want a player as it's not ALWAYS going to work out. But I do at least think Conte has certainly earnt that trust in his career to make those calls.

So maybe in future, I'd maybe try to air your concerns about a player a little differently because if you need to reverse your opinion people will note it.

Honestly I think your reading far too much into what I’m saying. I’m by no means, and never once claimed, that I 100% know for a fact exactly what Conte’s thinking ?

All I’m doing is expressing an opinion/theory that I’ve had on a player on a discussion forum. Nothing more, nothing less.

If your getting upset by those posts or don’t think that I should be sharing my opinions then fair enough mate, more power to you.
That quote about what Conte is thinking was addressed to the other bloke. You're of course entitled to your opinion. I was just engaging with you in a conversation. Who's getting upset? I disagree with your point, nothing more than that.

The reason I stick out is because the majority of posts are basically drone-like “trust Conte and Paratici” posts which completely ignore any sort of objective assessment of a player’s strengths and weaknesses. If you want, I can start doing those from now on and entirely refrain from discussing players who I’ve watched dozens of times.
That's really not the reason why you stick out. I enjoy a good debate and conversation. You're clearly passionate and that's admirable, but you have to learn to try not to put people down to raise up your own point. That you have an opinion or belief is fine, but back it up rather than saying that others aren't honest, don't understand football as well as you do, etc, and I suspect you'll get on better (and might have more luck in convincing others of your points). I only say this because I too have gone too far at times and realised that passion can sometimes come across poorly.

Mate stop stressing take a bit of stick laugh and get on with it. You’re a long way from being obnoxious and there’s plenty of twats in front of you. Enjoy the weekend

People can change their minds, just at least admit to it, not try denying it.

Also, not sure why you feel the need to neg everyone. Not disagree, which is fine but a straight up neg. Maybe it's you who needs to go get laid?

Very much agree with the bottom bit, very odd

You trigger me.
Why are you still checking people's ratings? And then say I need to get laid? ?

because it intrigues me when posts get one neg for no apparent reason, so I tend to see who rated it and there you are, again and again.
I've got a great idea, let's just both put each other in ignore and be done with it.?

Best to be yourself really. Some of your posts give me a giggle whether I agree or not. COYS!
