For the umpteenth time, what we should learn from this is never to judge a player until he's here and settled.
Don't agree with that like. I was convinced Anichebe was a shit signing, I'm ecstatic that I was wrong. It's ok to be wrong.

How can you say you've been proven wrong but stand by what you said at the time?Know I'm bumping this again like but, is this still being bumped? Even after everyone on this thread has said umpteen times they are chuffed to be proved wrong by the lad?!?
Stand by my comments at the time, he always looked like a right donkey whenever I saw him play in the past and his goals per season were utter shite (18 in 131 appearances for Everton? Haway!).
Like I've said plenty since, glad to be proved wrong so far and glad he has fitted in here like the missing link. Not often I complain about players being signed but this really did look like a shite signing at the time (with stats to back that up). Glad he proved me wrong as to how shite he would be. Shit happens. Let's hope he continues his form.

I think there are a lot of people (on both sides of this argument, and on many other similar threads) who regularly take the importance of their own views on an internet message board far too seriously. Some people genuinely seem to believe that there are hundreds of people hanging on their every word as gospel, or seem to be in a competition for credibility and relevance in their lives by trying to 'win' arguments about football on the internet.
Whether someone was right or wrong about the signing of a player, on post 267, on one of hundreds of threads a day on an internet message board, three months ago, very few people will remember, and hardly any will care, whether you are now looking to say I told you so about a post you once got right on the internet a few months ago, or whether you feel the need frantically to justify your argument.
It's a similar phenomenon to sad old gits ringing up football phone ins and saying 'Marco / Ando, you may remember that I rang up a few months ago to put on record my thoughts about Anichebe / Yedlin / whoever.' No, barely anybody remembered your opinion at the point at which you put the phone down.

I don't mind a post being bumped, it's only a bit of fun but there's those happy to pontificate about it whilst if done to them the toys come out of pram. Only a daft forum and shouldn't be taken too seriously.Know I'm bumping this again like but, is this still being bumped?

I once posted I thought Altidore was going to be a success playing as a wide forward in his 2nd season for us, sort of filling the hole Borini left behind under Poyet. No one will have made a worse prediction than that like
I said Rodwell was a great signing and that ranieri was a bad appointment for Leicester! I might have trumped you there!I once posted I thought Altidore was going to be a success playing as a wide forward in his 2nd season for us, sort of filling the hole Borini left behind under Poyet.

Oh yes I remember bumping that, you took it well!I once posted from the concourse bar at Arsenal that Toivonen was settling into the game ....... we were battered in the 2nd half and he rarely played again![]()

Would make a decent thread this likeI'd be interested in what a few posters on here have gotten spectacularly wrong

Posted the quote,,bumped what's the difference? At least you took it in good grace!
You never bumped it.
You posted about it a dozen times on threads that had nowt to do with it claiming I'd said he was a superstar or something along those lines.
I posted the quote and you never mentioned it again![]()
If you believe what you've posted you should have no problem with being reminded ...... a bump is just a delayed response.
The annoying thing is that it's been posted on here many times that about two thirds of his so called appearances were as sub and that his record when he was actually on the pitch isn't too bad yet these facts are continually ignored.Know I'm bumping this again like but, is this still being bumped?

Spot on.Important life lesson that should be learned at a young age, if you want to laugh at others you have to accept being laughed at. I have zero problem with it at all
