As if he’s fucking arguing it 😂

Who’s that team we call United who’s that team we all abhor They play in black and white we love to call them shite Our support’s conditionaaaaal

Surely upon surely VAR says have another look at that? Just have a word with the pair. Twat.

Hopefully the new Newport manager consented.

Yes, sure did get away with that absolutely deserved victory. But it’s a pointless win if we don’t win the league, if I remember correctly. Still waiting for the law school.

Did anyone work out what the best private law school in the country was?

These are getting battered like a confused haddock. Prepare your cheeks for a slappin’ Josep

It’s not difficult, it just felt appropriate to take the opportunity to try and show you why it’s a ludicrous approach to take and once which neuters much of the joy inherent in the game. I will trade 2nd / 3rd in the league over winning the league below every single time offered

So, to be clear, it is deemed successful to win the b league - and thus finish 21st in the pyramid - but deemed a failure to finish 2nd in the PL (Keegan) and 3rd in the PL (Robson). And if Rafa had kept us up, but then gone onto to achieve survival a few times, he would be deemed a failure for not having won a trophy? Is dinner only successful if you eat all of it?

Other people being happy sure is shit

That Rob Elliott was the best of those players is true vindication of Ashleyball

The yes votes are just out of order in my view, and suggest that the voters watch football only to be associated with winning. I cannot understand why you’d not want to get behind the guy and pick him up for the unbridled joy he’s delivered to your life.

Real misunderstanding and misuse of the world unacceptable in here

Ok. Your point is both that it’s deluded to think he’ll change formation, but in your previous argument you talked about changing formation to put elanga up top. So, aside from the delusion of playing elanga up top in anything other than an emergency or to mop-up minutes when we’re winning, your point (by your own logic) is delusional. I don’t think it’s delusional to suggest that he might try to change formation. Clearly something isn’t working and I think he’s a man open to trying new things and experimenting. He hasn’t had to yet because this is arguably the first sustained period of poor form, and even then it’s weirdly only sustained away from home in one competition, so we’re actually winning a lot of games around the (admittedly really bad) away league games. So it’s not necessarily as simple as “maybe I’ll jack in the formation”, especially when 1/2 main players he signed to sustain a formation change has yet to be available to him. If we all can see that there is a lack of creative guile, then he can, and I suspect he can see that woltemade is a possible answer to it as the creative fulcrum of the side. Maybe you are right and he’ll never give it a go, and it might then lead to a sad ending, but id be surprised if he never tried it.

Respectfully, when your proposed solution is to play an underperforming winger up front then you’ll lose your audience.

Which other striker would you have played, given that both wissa and osula are injured?

For what it’s worth I don’t think the team believes it can win without Isak.

He needs us to stand by him. Trying to remain calm, my questions would be: 1. why did we buy a squad only not to use it? 2. Why can’t he see that burn at left back is always handing the opposition an advantage? It seems so strange as he’s so astute so I must be missing something. 3. why can’t we pass the ball to our own team? 4. where’s the intensity gone? 5. why are non-performing players never punished for their lack of form by being taken out of the side?

Some good and some bad. We’re managing their attacking threat well, and took the chance that came with aplomb. But the passing and crossing needs to be better, we give the ball away so much.

I’m afraid you over-estimate the intelligence of travelling fans

Howe knows best but Christ I wish he’d play a left back at left back. The one we have is absolutely terrific and opens up so many dimensions and options.

Can you see Howe playing a defender up front from the off? I’ll give you a hint: he’s never done it before.

No, he’s a defender.

Comical post.
