Guilty as charged for once I couldn't help myself.
You "couldn't help yourself" from digging up an ancient thread and then having a go at me? Not exactly something you could have
avoided, is it!?!
And although I'm not sad enough to have read what's said in this thread, I'm pretty sure I
wasn't the one calling him The Next Gareth Bale. I'd followed Hussey for two or three years before we signed him, along with several of his team-mates at Wimbledon. I'm a massive fan of non-league football and love it when players step up to the FL. I ended up being the "Coventry Correspondent" for an AFC Wimbledon fansite, reporting back on how he and Thorn were doing to them.I still think Hussey was a very good player at this club, particularly when he first broke into the side, and he is one of a number who have had their confidence destroyed by impatient fans who love a scapegoat. Sounds like he's gone completely off the rails since. It happens.
Big whoop.
Next time we sign an "unknown" player from non-league, I will as ever be enthusiastic and back him to the hilt.
I really hope I get to meet you IRL one day, Grendel: I'm sure you'll prove to be just as much of an arrogant, pernicious fuckwit in person as you are in type.
