Quote ="Smiffy27"I like Sean O'Loughlin and think he's a very good player. It's your continuous sickening adulation on this board that I object to. It's the sort of adulation that little girls have for their favourite boy band. Don't you think you may have gone a bit over the top? Go somewhere else and tell the world of your great love for "Lockers". It's not really relevant here.'"
It is relevant to the thread. According to the stats Lockers played a big part in the game - for example, despite being a long way from full fitness, [u
he made more yards than any Wire player[/u.
If I were a Wire fan I would be asking how Wire's highly rated team were outworked in the biggest game of the season by player who was nowhere near full fitness, rather than ranting about boybands.
The explanation that Lockers is an exceptional player actually helps spare your players' blushes, if he isn't that special then it makes the Wire performance look worse. Clearly you haven't thought this through...!
By the way, the stats are not made up by me, they collected by independent observers. As opposed to random outbursts about boybands...!! Speaking of which, presumably according to your logic Finch and Lima in the past and all the Wigan players who had been publicly expressing how important Lockers was to the team in the run up to the GF (Tomkins gave an interview in which he said Lockers was the best player at Wigan) are like 1D fan obsessives?
You even seem to object to the use of the nickname "Lockers". It's used by lots of people connected with the club, including our coach.
Oh dear...
