I recall a book I read on Steve Jobs, where he was described as having a binary view of the world, and divided people into two groups, "heroes who could do no wrong", and "sh1theads who could do no good".
Gibbs may not be the greatest number 1, he may be occasionally laconic, he may never reach his potential, but as our list stands presently, he is in our best 22, and deserves a game. I would argue that he would be in the best 22 in any of other 17 teams.
I still say that is simply not possible to flim flam 3 successive, and largely independent regimes.
And really, referring to others on here as stupid or pigs doesn't help your cause either.
And Steve Jobs really struggled to get results, didn't he?
Now, to sort through the waffling.
Yes - Gibbs is in our best 22 (sadly)
No - He does not DESERVE a game, nor does anyone else. It is a week to week thing that is earned. Unfortunately, Gibbs was deemed to have earned his spot for eternity when he was taken at pick 1, which is why he has never been dropped, whilst other who have performed better, have been.
No - he most certainly would not walk into 17 other clubs' best 22, which suggests your binary view on him as I doubt you have done any real analysis
No - calling people pigs and stupid does not detract from my opinion, and only stupid people would think it does :
p.s. not everyone is a pig or stupid, the smart ones know that xx
