Doesn't sound shit to me. This thread is all kinds of mental!
It depends how youre viewing how theyre saying rubbish.
You said i was being hyperbole when i said john terry would get destroyed. But people say a player is rubbish or good relative to the team theyre playing for (or the cluster of teams around them). For example: people say sterling is average, but theyre talking about him being average for a top 4/6 team (i disagree with that fwiw, think hes going to become pretty dam good). Its quite clear he is not average when you compare him to every player or teams in the prem. The same people will say grealish is good, because theyre comparing him to villa position (its pretty obviously grealish is not better than sterling atm). One more example: delph. Good player for us, shit for city.
if youre taking these opinions in absolute terms, theyre mental....but relative, just slightly mental
