[Dire Wolf]

Newcastle the better team since City scored. Deserved equaliser.

 

[Dire Wolf]

I have to say, Newcastle are being really brave and attacking with numbers and with pace. They look very positive.

 

[Johnny75]

Why's that?

All the histrionics, practically on the pitch with his ridiculous arm waving antics, rubbing everybody up the wrong way and being a fucking arsehole in interviews.

That just about covers it.

 

[Alan]

You must have hated Nuno after Benno’s goal against Brizzle.

 

[Alan]

Botman looks like we dodged a bullet. Bombscare.

 

[Johnny75]

You must have hated Nuno after Benno’s goal against Brizzle.

Nope, he wasn't a fucking arsehole at any point.

Difference between celebrating and being an arsehole.

Marsch is a smarmy, snide, obnoxious cunt who can fuck off.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Newcastle now leading after a great run

Yeah, whether the asshole is on your side or not.

 

[Johnny75]

Yeah, whether the asshole is on your side or not.

Not really.

I get you want people to like Marsch because he's American.

He's just not likable.

 

[Alan]

I just want people to back up what they say as I've seen nothing that makes me think he's worth any kind of singling out. I also think hand-waving times when our managers have been OTT in their celebrations (oh, remember Nuno running onto the pitch to join a dogpile at one point?) is moving the goalposts in a bad way.

 

[Carrotdude]

I don’t think we’re beating this Newcastle side next week…

You don't think I've backed up what I've said?

In what way?

 

[Dire Wolf]

No, me neither. They look very good.

 

[Alan]

You've not really provided any evidence, and the one aspect of Marsch's behavior you pointed out that I have personally witnessed is something we also witnessed from the most beloved Wolves' manager of my lifetime.

Good point! I'll take your word for it next time you tell me Hwang will win the Ballon d'Or, too.

Erm....what?

You're getting bent out of shape because he's American aren't you?

 

[Alan]

I'm getting bent out of shape because you're not at all engaging with the conversation, which is fair enough if you've just landed on a conclusion without actually having a logical reason for it and so don't want to spend the time making up anything that sounds good for lack of any concrete evidence that supports what you say.

I do have logical reasons for it though. I've watched and listened to him for roughly half a season and he's displayed all the characteristics I've mentioned consistently.

Would you honestly care if this conversation was about Eddie Howe?

It's because he's American isn't it?

 

[Alan]

More to do with the fact that (yes, partly by virtue of Marsch being an American), I've seen more of him than you have, I think it's fair to say. And so it's interesting to me that you've very quickly worked out how unlikable he is, then said the reasons for that were some particular characteristics; I pointed out the double-standard, and you retreated to "oh it's because you're his countryman" rather than engage with my actual point.
