Han, give the Zapata hate a rest. It's actually f*cking boring now.

Could say the same to you about Mexes.

Only I don't hate Zapata, I just don't rate him and don't think we should risk playing him when we have better options

[Danny]

Could say the same to you about Mexes.

If I was slagging him off in a convo, yes, you could, but I haven't in some considerable time.

You do hate Zaps. I was talking about Romag and you start whining about Zapata. You can't resist a pop at him. Compared to you I've been worshipping at the shrine of Mexes.

Nope I don't. Like I said, I abolutely do not rate him as a defender because he's a liability, one we don't need added to an already fragile set-up.

Also, I talked about Zapata because you included him in your line-up which to me makes no sense. I also talked about Alex but you jumped on me for mentioning Zapata...

Also, the fact that you'd choose a terribly underperforming Alex instead of Mexes says it all for me.

No, for slagging Zapata off, as usual. Your hate for him is old, boring, and f*cking boring. The insults about Alex at least weren't a cliche on your part, even if you've used X's posts as ammo to suddenly hate him too.

Also, the fact that you'd choose a terribly underperforming Alex instead of Mexes says it all for me.

At this juncture, your opinion on our central defence is no longer valid if you're literally going to use second hand accounts of performances in friendlies to come to it and change your previous opinion (you were happy with Mexes or Alex before) purely to attack mine.

As I said before, I'm happy with either/or, but I have a preference for Alex. If I dare mentioned he or Zaps you now go on the offensive. Whereas you'll never see me attack Mexes unless he, like anyone else, has a sh*t match in a competitive fixture.

Cliche?? How is pointing out his obvious shortcomings a cliche? And seriously, you labelling that I hate this player or that so you can make a point is what is getting so cliche here.

I repeat one final time, I don't hate Zapata, when I've hated Milan players in the past like Muntari for example I was 100% honest about it, and there were legit reasons for that. You saying that I hate Zapata just to make your point is getting old.

Point is, he has flaws in his game which can be a serious detriment to our team. What I'm saying here us based on pure fact, not based on bias, like you do with Mexes for example where you consistently label him a red card magnet when he doesn't even average 1 red card per season for us.

And now I hate Alex? Are you serious with this Danny?

Wow, can you get any less tolerant of other's opinions when they don't jive with yours?

My opinion is no longer valid? Thanks that's good to know...

Alex has been terrible throughout pre-season, that's a fact, not some made up whim just because I suddenly apparently hate him too. He's made mistakes, looked unfit and completely out of it at times as well. These are not things that will suddenly change once he plays an official game simply because it's official and not a friendly.

I was happy with either/or as well, but Alex atm is simply not looking like he's fit to start, simple as that really.

Again, why would you go for 2 players who have shown they can be serious problems for the team during games? Especially when there's an easier solution in Romagn and Mexes?

[Danny]

Cliche?? How is pointing out his obvious shortcomings a cliche?

Because you never advocate his strengths. EVER.

And seriously, you labelling that I hate this player or that so you can make a point is what is getting so cliche here.

It's also true.

I repeat one final time, I don't hate Zapata, when I've hated Milan players in the past like Muntari for example I was 100% honest about it, and there were legit reasons for that. You saying that I hate Zapata just to make your point is getting old.

Then you'll have to prove you don't hate him by showing positivity now and again. You have in the past occasionally, but suddenly you have nothing but criticism of him.

Point is, he has flaws in his game which can be a serious detriment to our team. What I'm saying here us based on pure fact,

Prove it. Prove your point. Show how many times he cost a goal, a point or a win.

not based on bias, like you do with Mexes for example where you consistently label him a red card magnet when he doesn't even average 1 red card per season for us.

I label him combustible, not a red card.

And now I hate Alex? Are you serious with this Danny?

Given the tirade you're on about him and Zaps all of a sudden there's few other conclusions to draw. I was talking about being unimpressed with Romag, nothing more, and from absolutely nowhere you start bitching about Zaps and Alex.

Yes it will.

Again, I was talking about Romag and Romag alone, you were the one to whine about Alex and Zapata and starting worshipping at the shrine of Mexes. If you were wanting to address my earlier comments about A&Z you might have wanted to quote the stuff you were replying to.
