Skeletor

A couple of seasons ago he started to slide and was regressing in my opinion, but now he seems to have come back (after countless injuries) and looked better than ever.

4th in no time tbh.

To be honest, I think he's exactly what we need up front but it won't happen...at least not for stupid money that we can't really afford to spend anywhere other than defence.

No. I believe it's only six fixtures that we can legally get away with.

Eugh when is this whole "you score 4 we'll score 5" bollocks gonna stop getting repeated in the media. What we want is to win regardless of the scoreline. Give me 1-0's any day of the week.

Sven would get a hell of a lot more out of this team, and he's a good manager. He knows how to use tactics to win games, and when you think of the games, which are minimal, that he did lose for England, they weren't exactly against teams that we've been losing to recently. Some of the best teams in the world, christ sake. His record for England in competitive matches was... Played - 38 Won - 26 Drew - 9 Lost - 3 two of those were against Portugal and one against Brazil iirc. Lost to France and Northern Ireland as well.

Fuck off. What's wrong with what he said?

Can't argue with any of that. The whole Luque/Ramage thing was bizarre. I thought maybe a defender had an injury but it looks like our coaches were just dicking around. At least we got subs early today I guess.

You could tell after about 5 minutes to be honest.

Maybe we do well in Europe because we leave under performing players like Duff and Parker out of the team, whilst also leaving out pure shit like Carr and Babayaro.

There are no words to describe how detrimental Carr is to our team. He's completely out of sync with the rest of the defence. If they push up he's always the one caught too deep and he's often caught out of position from attacking too much. He puts in poor crosses and on the occasions he's actually back to defend he gets skinned for being a fat bastard.

Incredible debut.

Ahem

At this point in time I'd take Sven despite my dislike of him personally. He's a good manager at club level. Even in league format of the group stages he always did consistently well with England.

There was a deadly hush around SJP when this was announced. Eerie. heard that on tv. there was a ripple of anticipation as it was about to be announced, then an audible "eh?" as it was said. think it is becoming like "employee of the month" tbh just to justify some of the crap we have at the club. next week, man of the match will be "inanimate carbon rod" Nah it will be Anal Oliver for his dedication to club propaganda. Then we'll get a diary entry in the next Chronicle detailing the moments he went to collect it and why he deserved it.

Nah we need to bring Souness back every 3 months for an appearance in the dressing room and on the training pitch to remind them how bad it can be and give them a boost so that we have good form all season.

Nearly as infuriating as Duff being unable to stay onside Eugh the number of times Carr got into a good position and I thought "just slide it across" only to watch him balloon it over everyone was incredibly frustrating. It would be laughable if we weren't in the position we are. Oh no doubt I'd be laughing if another team more or less of our stature was in our position.

Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't understand all this high crossing of the ball to our midget strikers. Also has Harper forgotten how to catch a ball?

I get the eery feeling that the only time we're going to score goals is with Michael Owen in the team and I doubt that's going to happen this season. We are in big trouble.

Probably. It's pretty typical though that when we score first we lose, but against a team with no attacking ambitions we can't score. We're just doomed basically.

I never believed we'd get relegated before. I do now though. Glenn you have 3 subs you can use by the way.

Should I rename it "The official Willie McKay depreciation thread"?

Shoot that little birdie and mutilate it.
