Hmmmmm. Would you say Adam Johnson is a top half premier league player and that he has shown it all the time this season?
PHIL BARDSLEY IS A PREMIER LEAGUE STANDARD FULL BACK, STEPHEN WRIGHT WASN'T.
Have i said he is playing well at the minute?
Agree with most of that like.
Randle hates him.![]()
Stephen Wright. Think al post ye meltdown later when am on me laptop.
Iirc you even ended up apologising for your behaviour.![]()
He's actually contributed mate. What's your bum chum Bardo done apart from looking out of his depth after his injury?
Hate's a strong word, I don't think I could ever hate one of our players. Not like as much as others is how I'd describe my feelings for PB.
Can't remember a Steven Wright shocker like Bardsley's yesterday... Wright was a one-paced plodding yet tough-tackling nothing player. Same as Bardsley, but with less of the fist-pumping that conned people into thinking he is more.
Distinct lack of people backing you up today, by the way...
The lad is shite, get shot.
Bum chum? Get a grip man. You f***ing hate his guts.

Oh no. No-one is backing me up.![]()

I hate the goals he's attributed for letting in. Yesterday we were under the kosh. Mig kept us in it. Then Bardo fucked it up and gifted them the lead.
As long as he's in the team, he is liable to make the same mistakes over and again.
Simply mentioned it as being indicative of change and evidence that he is shite. You know, like you used to offer his popularity as evidence he was good and stuff. Noticed you don't like the taste of your own medicine, mind. Turns you into a right mardy lass.![]()
Daft mistakes aside, he offers the side nothing. He's not a particularly good defender and he does nothing when he rarely gets forward. He's a waste of a place and having him in the side is counter-productive.
Seriously, Bardo comes in for a lot of stick on here despite being a former player of the year. I'm ever more convinced that most clowns who say this have little or no perspective on SAFC or RBs.
In the top flight the only proven RB we've had in the last 20 yrs was Chris Makin. He crossed the half way line with an oxygen mask and his lack of shooting or scoring earned him a chant that would erupt from the stands if he got 40 yards up from his own goal line of 'shooooooooooot'. He never made a decisive pass, never beat a man and never supported forward runs. Yet he became a legend.
Why was this? because he never let a man beat him at RB. Sure the ball might go past but we all knew the man never did. We'd regularly concede free kicks but we never cared and we came 7th twice.
Compared with this, Bardoi is class. He scores, he tackles and comes away with the ball, he can make a pass (sometimes very good), he can (at times) cross, he gives away fewer free kicks, he's totally committed. He is a defender when considering this information.
He is far in excess of players we've had in the past.
Post here if you can think of players we've had who are better than him in that position and justify your decision.
you aren't alone.
