I agree. I worded that horrendously, one thing even the biggest critics can never do is question his work ethic.

I never mentioned anything about winning or expecting to win. I expect the players to do their utmost to stop us conceding some of the pathetic goals we have recently. Players not bothering to get back and letting players walk past them. I expect our manager to actually do something about the weak as piss defeats rather than come out and say how it is uncharacteristic. We have been in limp mode for ages. If you think that’s trying the fair play.

Expected West Ham to have a bit more bite about them there. Was a bit of a nothing performance really. Will be channeling my inner Barry Taylor this weekend hoping for a Wolves win.

Aye I didn’t word that well. Cannot knock the bloke’s work ethic so didn’t mean to come across doing that. However, persisting with the same plan every week, the same reactive subs etc. He isn’t trying anything different to try and fix the problems imo.

Watching them tonight I don’t think they’ll even beat us

“We just want a club that tries” Is this a club trying right now? I wouldn’t say it is. The players certainly aren’t trying, imo. The manager isn’t trying judging by the lack of effort into fixing our problems.

Hope you’re right, wouldn’t be shocked if they did and done Spurs a favour

Just cannot see West Ham winning this.

Defo Hammond you’re right

This. I won’t rewrite history, there was occasions when he was too deep and didn’t appear to have the hunger to score you’d expect from an out and out number 9. As mentioned in another thread, at Stuttgart he played up front with Undav and was very successful. Would’ve liked to see us try to adapt our style to trying something new. As has been said multiple times though that’s one of the criticisms I have of Howe, the unwillingness to deviate from plan A.

He was heavily linked with Bilboa but nothing concrete

Refuse to watch him. Self serving bellend using NUFC for clout again.

Definitely lived here. This sounds like a massive lie but I played in the Newcastle Business League and he made a few appearances for us as his mate played. Obviously looked a class above and more

Mad thing is, I remember reading Bournemouth’s forum when Howe arrived and they said he was a shite cup manager. Been anything but here. Only lost on pens, at Wembley and against the best team in the world in a semi final in the LC.

Arsenal seem to have a weird thing about us as well. Probably the punishment we’ve gave them at SJP over the past few years. They’ll be up for it anyways but they’ll show no mercy.

Calls people clowns for presenting evidence to back up their opinions. His evidence is a video of the bloke who presents Homes Under The Hammer flapping his gums about expectations. Complete moron.

Remember the time we went just after new years and Howe basically committed a crime that should have seen him convicted under the Terrorism Act 2002. Ball was in play for about 17 minutes. They were fucking raging afterwards, the media were raging also. Same again next week, please.

Aye it’s been relentless this season particularly. Feels like every couple of days in Feb I was forking out for another ticket.

Scoring a last minute goal to WIN a game and not lose, imagine that (in before someone makes me look stupid)

Coming from behind to get something from the game, imagine that

A vile football club in many respects, their fanbase will regularly be in the media for shocking behaviour if they come up. Please God, make it happen.

Really hope not, bored of them. Do think they’ll do it though.

Top of the Championship looking tasty. Assuming the Boro game stays the same. 2. Millwall - 76 points —— 3. Ipswich - 75 points - game in hand 4. Southampton - 75 points 5. Boro - 75 points

Class post, agree with all of it. It’s fucking awful now. The music they do play is honking. Ideal for people to get some nice clips to make reels for Instagram pre match and then sit in silence

He basically says that Howe achieved so much here (agree with that) that it’s raised expectations (also agree with that), however, it isn’t that we’ve dropped off, we are a total fucking mess.
