Does it makes a **** fan to be happy for fellaini ?

Honest question - why would you be 'happy for him'?

You support Everton. He was a contracted player that played for us, who was handsomely paid.

He had no emotional attachment to the club. He specifically put a clause in his contract that allowed him to leave - regardless of Everton's wishes - if a certain fee was met. He didn't care enough for Everton for the club to judge whether or not they were a receiving a high enough fee to sell him.

He put in a transfer request to leave, so actually gave up money to leave us.

He's now at Man Utd where he's getting double the wages that he had at Everton.

I'm not saying you have to hate the bloke, but why be actively happy for him? As if, he deserves what he's getting, because he was such a good pro for us? I understand that some people are at pains to not seem bitter, but supporting a football team is generally tribal, and it's not like Fellaini showed us any kind of great loyalty or love.

Braindead comments are ones that don't try and anaylyse or discuss the decisions but just say the ref is **** and ruined the game, stuff like that. I'm not saying you're saying stuff like that.

Why is it, if United get the benefit of the doubt at OT they had 2 pen appeals turned down first? Let me guess, the ref only gtave the pen cause he'd turned down 2 already, rather than the ref gave the pen cause he saw it as a foul?

And i said exactlt the same stuff last season in a massive thread on here regarding decisions against Everton, too many people just bitch and moan about refs without understanding how damn near impossible a job it actually is.

Criticising a human being for doing his job and making a split second decision on a 50/50 incident just because you watched numerous slow mo replays from different angles to make you decision makes you look like a braindead tit (thats a you in general, not you personally).

People need to accept it and move on really, insetad no doubt BT will go on and on about it post match, someone will probably say Moss was looking to be the centre of attention or some of that other bollocks people say about refs.

I understand that its difficult and they will make mistakes but don't think you are understanding the point I am making. There is no way the ref knew it was a penalty from the position he was in and his linesman couldnt help him then how can he give it when he knows he will then have to send the player off. I would rather him not give it when it might have been a pen if he just couldn't see from where he was.
 

had a choice between van persie and giroud for fantasy team ended up picking neither and kept chadli in. Chadli doesn't play, keep bent and he's injured - why i gave up on fantasy football last seaosn straight away. at least i picked ozil

I believe that in a year or two time at least one or two of those would be available for pennies cuz they won't be getting any playing time.

You can only rotate so much, unless AVB has a new midfield every game he won't be able to please all of the rather big names at the club.

By that I mean I hope we get at least one of them on the cheap. :lol:

its spurs. they didnt play bent for about 18months and still wound up getting more money than they spent for him. Its the only club i can think of that their valuation of the player goes up regardless if he plays or not.



still would love capoue tho, the guy is fantastic(if not injured for awhile).
