A lot of the time I agree with that. Sometimes they give him a yellow after making a tackle that just a few years ago would never have merited a foul never mind a card.
Still however there are occasional moments I get exasperated with needless fouls he commits. Just a minor complaint really because he's class. I remember thinking most of this season maybe it wouldn't be so bad if we sold him but when he got a run of games and got back to form I remembered just how good he is. We'll miss him if he goes like.
The way the Mackems go on about him is hilarious. If they walked up to anyone in the entire nation and tried to tell them that Cattermole is a better player than Tiote they would laugh in their faces. It's not really just Tiote either, it's almost all our players. Apparently both Tiote and Cabaye are overrated piles of wank, oh and Cisse's just been lucky to score awesome goals practically every single game, Santon's a total flop, Jonas does nowt and Ben Arfa's not half as good as Sessegnon
Why does it pain them so much to just admit that we've got some good players?
they are going through some sort of group psychotic episode, thats simply beyond my understanding. They were certain the one thing they crave- Dominence over us after our relegation- was going to happen - they simply can not come to terms with our rapid return and rise beyond them. They are in group denial- To quote an Episoade of Fawlty Towers-'there's enough material there for an entire conference'
