Big Willie This X shit is weird

That fuckin "art deco" X logo is incredibly budget. I went to the site and it pops up like some carny is about to try to flog me canalfront real estate in outer suburbia, or a midrange sofa suite with a recliner chair on the end.

In fact it looks like exactly what you get when a screen-damaged billionaire tells the type of person he thinks is a branding expert to rebrand his product, but that branding consultant is actually the type of person whose idea of a premium, trustworthy vibe is the mouthfeel of a serviced room at a Marriott hotel just across the six lane parkway near that turnpike where they've got a Fry's and a Taco Bell.

I feel very vindicated about having shrined my Twitter account and removed all my tweets in late 2022 now.

Meatwad it's remarkable. How many corporations have such brands that they have established verbs like "to tweet" and “to retweet", or even the noun "a tweet"?

He is one hundred percent surrounded by yes men because those who challenge him are fired.

One step closer to a Wallace Corp. type scenario as he consolidates all ventures? but probably it's clumsier, more short-sided and more lame than that.

i feel vindicated for never participating in social media period. i had a facebook account back at UCLA when it first came out and their rollout was basically campus by campus and when it got to UCLA it was a big deal and we all signed because who wants to be left out. i deleted it as soon as i got my first job though. didn't want that kind of digital paper trail. i've been on forums since the 90's and never really changed, i guess i'm old (flabby and sick like 2pac would say).

Panda

Anyone remember our old youth Mavididi?

He's just popped up on my screen as Leicester's new LWF!

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Panda weirdly a couple of days ago I was remembering when we had him, Nketiah and Malen as the hot attacking prospects.

AMN joins Lyon. Good move for him, hope he do well there

HomeSteak

Clrnc he said in his first interview there that he prefers to play as a CM but he has no problem in playing anywhere the coach wants him lol. Shame he was not thinking like that when he was here

Clrnc

HomeSteak he said the same here quite a number of times.

Clrnc It was reported by multiple sources thats why he wanted to leave Arsenal. Here is Big Sam talking about that as well. And I remember after his loan at WBA, Big Sam also said in an interview that he told AMN to go and play full back at Arsenal, as its better then playing CM for a shit team.

“The problem with Ainsley is his position,” Allardyce said. “His only position that he wants to play is centre midfield, and he’s always maintained that throughout his career, he tells me.

“The reason he came to West Brom – which he forced through – Edu and Mikel Arteta didn’t want him to come, was because I spoke to him and said ‘you will play in midfield…as long as you play well’.”

It has been wrongly said that he does not want to play full back and also suggestions that his attitude or time keeping is an issue.

He added: “It doesn’t bother me what people label me as because I think the management know themselves.

"Ok I was late, maybe once during this manager’s time. It was a mistake, I spoke to the manager and put my hand ups and took the consequences.

“I would play right-back every week if I had to. I am not really fussed. The main thing is being out there with the team and helping them win games.

"If the manager says to me ‘Ains you gotta go in goal this game I will put the gloves on and I am ready to rock n roll.’

“That’s where some people may have misjudged what I said before in a different interview.

"Obviously I do prefer playing central midfield but that is not to say that I don’t want to play right-back or that I’m not going to do the job there if the manager asks me to.”

He said that in another face to face interview at skysports that he wants to play in any position but still prefers CM. it's been like this throughout his career. People like Sam probably just think he refuses to play if it's not CM just due to his preferences.

HomeSteak

Clrnc Yeah he gave that interview after he fucked up, after his WBA loan.

Ricky1985

Regardless of what he says now about where he wants to play, he was never making it here because he doesn't work hard enough or take improving seriously enough.

Clrnc

HomeSteak actually that interview was in 2020 wasn't it? Before the 2021 WBA loan. Put it this way I trust the player himself more than Big Sam.

I think it wasn't his preference of position that cause him to fail here, but rather Arteta don't like his application or attitude like what Ricky suggested. Don't think any player in the world is that naive and stupid to refuse to play just because its not his favoured position.
