I gave a brief outline of how scouts operate and then you got the dictionary out and repeated a lot of it back to me then you strongly suggested I’d said that scouts don’t use stats, when I said the opposite and suggested how important stats are to scouts. ASM is a great player to watch but as an effective attacker he’s inconsistent. That’s why he didn’t play for France in the summer, and Oliver Giroud did. Giroud played every game when they won the World Cup but didn’t contribute any goals, which for a central striker you’d think would immediately rule him out of being picked in any top level forward line. You’d have to watch him play to gauge his value to the starting 11 though and take into consideration what those around him contribute. Sure you could use stats to partly make that judgement, but it would be impossible to make a case for Giroud to be picked on his most important stat. He didn’t play as much this summer, Deschamps changed it. This isn’t judging two players who play in completely different positions, it’s illustrating that you can’t just use dry stats when assessing a player. It’s easy for ASM to stick out like a sore thumb at Newcastle and without him if Bruce was in still charge we’d be fucked. He didn’t play well in the games after Bruce left and I don’t have a problem with anyone suggesting after they’ve actually watched his performances and read his Bruce tweet that he was in the huff, it’s just another indication of inconsistency and letting outside events affect your performance on the pitch. He’s not alone in that, 98% of players are the same. But that’s why he’s at Newcastle and not at Real Madrd and never will be…you’d have to watch him to work that out though… These are just opinions, quite mild ones really, I don’t care if you think I’m right or wrong . Have a pleasant evening

Ok… you don’t understand what I’m posting. I’ve never had this problem in near on 15 years posting on here….. @Diego21 understands me and English is his second language, he also agrees with my point and football is his career. Do you understand and accept that evidence?..

You can’t even follow a quoted post mate, if you’re not doing that on purpose you need help This is what I said in the post you quoted: “That's why I suggested the evidence of our own eyes is as least as important as stats, which you completely misconstrued and misrepresented. “ That’s not saying I accused you of misconstruing and misrepresenting stats, is it? As I say, if you’re doing that on purpose go fuck yourself, if not go back to college and do some basic English comprehension….

And that's the only opinion allowed? We're not allowed to judge by how we feel hes played? That's why I suggested the evidence of our own eyes is as least as important as stats, which you completely misconstrued and misrepresented. That's why you're an arsehole mate .....

Do you think Shelvey was better under Rafa or under Bruce? Why didn't ASM make the France Euro squad? Honestly, I'm interested in your thoughts but please bare in mind brevity is king

He reminds me of someone…..can’t think of a specific social outcast tbh but leave it with me….

Chill out bruv, it's only a message board I described the job of a scout,and in reply so did you. Why?

Yeah this is the game, deliberately misconstrue to try to wind people up or goad them into going back and checking mountains of posts and coming back at you. Either that or you're fundamentally incapable of following a discussion....which is one way of getting your kicks I suppose...

Think this proves its pointless arguing with a fuckin brick Fyi, you agreed with most of my points mate whilst simultaneously claiming that you didnt know what point I was making You posted stats, then conpared those stats to people who commented on how ASM had played since Bruce left, that's comparing two utterly different things. You may not have meant that, but its certainly how it came across. Hope all this helps

More than likely there isn’t one. Care to suggest a scout at any football club who relies purely on stats though? Because if that were the case they wouldn’t still exist. You’d have data collectors at every match (eg Opta etc) and those who process that data at clubs, scouts would be irrelevant. No one would go and watch a player, it would all be there on a screen and clubs would make their decisions on recruitment like that….football has changed a lot, you can find a lot of hidden points about a player by measurement. But to get a real feel for the player, his actual observable strengths and weaknesses and how he’d fit into a pattern of play he has to be watched . Comparing the evidence of Rayvin’s own eyes after he’s watched St Maximin’s level of performance post Bruce leaving v some data collated over a couple of seasons isn’t a comparison worth making because it’s like comparing a fire engine with an apple Coming on here and picking on people with a list of spurious stats isn’t you being clever, it’s you being a fuckin arsehole, and not a very bright one at that. Well done. Please stay, I’m not the sharpest tool in the box in these parts but you’re making me feel like Einstein

You need one of these in your life mate... https://www.sportsdirect.com/castore-newcastle-united-anthem-jacket-2021-2022-mens-374236 PS.... the Castore brand in my mind undoubtedly has Mike Ashley behind it. The fact that Newcastle and Rangers are their two flagship brands is just too much of a fuckin coincidence Is the Newcastle stuff being sold anywhere apart from the club shop.and SD? 🤔

When planning permission for social housing flats is granted "1 space for one flat" hasn't been allowed for a good 20 years precisely to force people on to public transport. Not an expert tbh but that's the impression I get. Most modern new build private sector homes have at least one space? Most domestic charging points are 7kw which is about 32A , which is less than a modern electric shower which comes in around 10kW,/ 40A. Most domestic supplies are rated at 100A. Individually at the moment thats not a problem due to the relative scarcity of domestic chargers but if 75% of areas end up all charging motors overnight that's a big supply issue. There should be a cheaper nightime tariff like the old "economy 7" for storage heaters for consumers but that might not be the case and the cost of new infrastructure could well be passed on to the end users

Appearing disjointed, confused and frankly bewildered there....Will he get the Diane Abbott treatment from the press? More chance of him flying to the moon on fuckin Shergar than that happening

Football is almost entirely bent at the top level part 2,879,346:

My 80 something uncle Bob, a born and bred red manc who first went to OT in the early 50s, told me Ole wouldn't last till Christmas....however he told me that in November 2019, a point which I've just reminded him of...... he duly reminded me that the elderly have an extensive Anglo saxon vocabulary

Sleeves and collar a bit too "man utd away late 70s" tbh

Clarko and narco/darko/berko/twatto? Clarkmill? Gemko?

Looks like that fuckin incel Pearson put his fat mate up to it for err "content"

Can someone check on CT... keep the sharps away from the fucker ffs

Dave's taking no shit from no verbal fuckin spaghetti merchant

Is he another refugee from NO? are they having a purge?

Always with the fuckin roller skates

You'd have thought he'd have learned that after trudging through the 80s
