I didn't actually mean that pants HAD moaned about Thorne

the "you" in the post in question was a general one not a person specific one aimed at him (I can't be arsed to trawl through posts to find out specifically who has and who hasn't moaned about Thorne). It's true though that a lot of the posters on here who want Sutton to sign DO use the fact that he would be better than Thorne as part of their argument.
