By the way, I don't think people have an issue with you thinking Smith is better than Hugill, your post makes some excellent observations about the (often underappreciated) quality that Smith brought to our team. But you're the one accusing people of talking "utter tripe" and making comments like Hugill not being fit to lace Smith or Kelly's boots. I mean come on, maybe it was tongue in cheek but it came across like something Alan Partridge or David Brent would say!
Apologies for 'tripe' but in the context of the flak I've copped on this thread, that was just meant as banter but rebuke accepted - mind you, I'm slightly flattered by the Alan Partridge simile so maybe it is me that's wrong.....
I really don't rate Hugill (in case you couldn't tell) and it frustrates me that our manager does
it frustrates me even more that our manager doesn't seem to rate Georgie
It worries me that our manager rates Nombe to the extent of us paying nearly a million quid
it also worries me that our manager doesn't seem to rate JJ

But I guess that much is already more obvious than a David Brent gag....
