Can we once and for all nail this "cos you're a girl" nonsense? Jeez, "technical knowledge" don't even get me started. Football is the one subject above all other that most nonsense gets talked about. In a ground full of 40,000 people how many people REALLY know what's going on? About 1,000 tops, and that's probably over and above.
If you want technical knowledge then my advice is not to come on here because you won't learn a lot. Any technical point is rarely debated. People either aren't interested or don't understand the technicalities. Don't believe me? sift back through to the zonal defence stuff at the start of last season or the more recent "english teams tend to defend only the back post" in another thread. I'd be happy to debate technical issues with absolutely anybody on here 'till the cows come home but that's not why I come on here really. I get on here to hear a different opinion, hear some gossip or rumours. Most of all though, as an OOTer who almost never gets to games these days, I like to feel the passion and emotion of real fans. It makes me feel good. On all of the above CIGGY is one of the leaders on the forum. Hers are one of the posts that I make a point of reading. If I started a debate on whether the move towards 4-5-1 in the Prem is almost a throwback to the Catanaccio era, then I don't suppose she'd even read it, never mind contribute. Funny thing is, some of those who talk about technical knowledge wouldn't either.
