        Understand where you're coming from, like comparing players from different eras. (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Nov 8, 10:18:00
        
        Yes. But Chase had a much more stable platform to start. (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 8, 10:43:01
        
        Yes one that he created prior to the Prem years. Not sure what your argument is? (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Nov 8, 10:50:23
        
        Chase started in the top tier (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 8, 10:53:45

        Excellent points Simon (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 8, 10:37:29
        
        Yes, you're right, McNally didn't deserve the hammering Webber gave him (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 8, 12:26:24
        
        They're probably the same thing really (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 8, 12:39:48
