They don’t.

See: literally every single other academy player for examples.
The best academy player the club has ever produces is getting hate because he dares do have the audacity to have the desire to win trophies.

the likes of kwp, onomah Edwards all got more than just constructive criticism.

Its just baffling to me that supporters our so quick to hate the lads when them maximizing their potential is so beneficial to the club.

He is a prick.

Doesn’t mean I hate him.

Weird.
How is it weird to come to that assumption?

If you're calling people a prick, it normally means you have a dislike towards them?

And I wouldn't take the word 'hate' literally either as it's typically a word used when a lot of criticism/abuse is hurled at others on the net.

If you don't hate him, fair enough. But surely you can see how calling someone a prick can lead to negative and ill-feeling?

I usually like your posts, freeki, and I often chuckle at some of your humour but I just don't think it's fair to call players names based on stuff we don't even know if it's true or not.

Literally nobody is giving Harry Kane “hate”, and Marcus Edwards played a total of *fifteen minutes* for us in his entire career, what on earth are you talking about.

Consider getting an iron. Perhaps that will smooth out the mocking edges.

Toots.

Easy now, I wasn’t mocking you because you are dyslexic. My son has speech issues and it’s certainly not something to laugh at.
I found the reaction funny, not the initial post.
Hope that clears it up for you.

Like to see this sort of lineup in the Europe conference this season.
I'd rather make sure we advance. Players not in Nuno's preferred XI will need minutes. And I think it would be good to include players like Scarlett and John (maybe 1-2 others) in the squad and give them minutes when appropriate.

I am not in favor of simply starting a youth squad, and assume that is enough to make it through.

Quite greedy from Parrot there but I can’t blame him for wanting a goal.

he seems to have improved his pace and physicality though. Good sign.

I hate to be negative, but Whiteman doesn't fill me with confidence. He seems like a good shot stopper, but he's not really dominated his box on the set pieces and looked lost a couple of times.
