Long Ball Merchant

I just want to see Kevin Nolan and Andy Carroll play up top together once more

@newey_7 Saying that you didn't have a choice kind of acknowledges that you would have picked a different club had you come from a family where you had a choice

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@HLTCO @PeterCrouchPod I agree that football is better when you're connected to the community and can go to games but why doesn't Dyer mention all the West Ham fans who don't support their local club?

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@_WokeNonsenseFC Support brexit and reform?

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@SerMM91 I bet loads of people from London who support London clubs haven't picked their most local one, maybe even including you.

Football is better when it's your community and you can go to games. It's also strange to lambast people who obviously picked clubs as kids.

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@kdmm1000 @ItsBigZuu Probably didn't have any exposure to footballing culture and chose a club he saw on TV as a result. Not particularly difficult to understand.

@6_AaronLee There is an obvious divide between white British people and children of immigrants.

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@CarnorJax87 England definitely played to his strengths under Southgate

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@wil59567 @anfieldforge If it's not a choice then you have no moral superiority. You were forced into it and didn't do anything yourself

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@HJJ92_ 1) Obviously this means he accessed football through the TV where the biggest clubs are shown more often
2) You support Everton and Leeds Rhinos - are you from Liverpool or Leeds? Surely a team like St Helens is closer to you

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@NBAUK @ManCity @sixers Maybe Pep can get his doctors to look at Embiid 👀

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@whateverbs99 This is an embarrassing take

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@CFCDray Really he's French. Born in France and lived in France his entire life before moving to England. Played for the French youth teams too.

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@arkaavs He's somewhere between 7 and 15. Most of those players are a very similar level and are hard to differentiate as a result.

@JayBabyEars Only to people who are unable to accurately assess basketball players and compare across generations

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@AutoZoneManager I agree that those types of arguments are silly because all the greats had great teammates who helped them to win as basketball is a team sport.

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@_jeevesh @Akshay7_ They literally hounded Evra for being racially abused while wearing t-shirts of support for the racist.

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@Jorgenh01 @PKillustrator @LBLFC_ Ok you believe what you want. He obviously knew what the situation was but wanted to go either because of the publicity or despite the publicity.

I think he wanted to show public support as a former captain of the club. That's why he made such a public showing.

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@Jorgenh01 @PKillustrator @LBLFC_ Ok my wording on the initial tweet was not clear. I was responding to a tweet saying that the area should be cordoned off and there should be no cameras as it's personal grief.

However, my point was that Henderson knew there were cameras there and chose to go.

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@Jorgenh01 @PKillustrator @LBLFC_ I disagree, he wanted to show support/pay respects etc etc. It's not a criticism but he wanted to do it in a public place for whatever reason.

Liverpool's official twitter have a video of Henderson up on their page too. It's clearly a public showing by him.

[Long Ball Merchant @LongBall442]

@PKillustrator @LBLFC_ Is it personal grief if you make a very public showing?
