Well, I might move it back to GenSec. Dunno who of the others moved it here, but I wasn't agreeing either.

Yeah, but I thought the origin of the RB section was to keep non-constructive x player is better than x player threads from polluting general discussion.

This is a thread that's more about commenting and discussing statistics than RONALDO > MESSI BECAUSE CHOKE etc. with RWO doing an admiral job of keeping it up to date. It is not a thread which is a cycle of endless non-constructive fanboy arguments, which is what imo the RB section is for - fanbois arguing about what they believe is better.

I also kinda feel that it disrespects her efforts in maintaining this thread as well >.> and it also inspired a Clark Whitney editorial <.<

Threads like this always have potential of Players comparison, that's what makes them good thread.

but it's definitely not a right-back section thread, because some poster were always going to compare but that's not the point of the thread..


I also feel my thread..."How highly do you rate Bayern" is not a right back section thread.


I hate it when my threads are moved around

I guess the next update will be tomorrow as Serie A and La Liga are due to play today/tomorrow again.

Christian Abbiati in place of Marco Amelia, rwo, the latter is firmly second choice.

Noted. Thx!
