    - Do we know that for sure, though? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 08:59:49
      - he has been pretty much awol this season (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 12, 09:03:27
        
        I think if he's refusing to play, fair enough (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 09:12:20
        
        Did they refuse to play? (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 12, 09:14:42
        
        I don't see any distinction there (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 09:20:37

        And while we despise Nunez (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 12, 09:05:38
        
        Yes, he was absolutely pathetic for the second half of last season (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 09:10:47
        
        So was everyone else though (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 12, 09:11:25
        
        He was one of the worst offenders, if not THE worst offender (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 09:13:56
        
        I’d rather Sarge put a shift in to get a move tbh (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 12, 09:16:10
        
        But that is still a possibility (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 09:28:04
        
        appreciate your optimism but i can't see it happening (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 12, 09:32:14
        
        I'm not being optimistic; I'm right ;) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 09:34:09
