  1. Did anyone honestly expect anything different from this game?
  2. Fantastic footballers aren't they? QPR players getting surrounded by fans and treating them like the fans have leprosy. What a great game this is.
  3. He's not even from the area and actually supports Leyton Orient
  4. Fletcher, Shepherd, Keegan & The Halls at least had a go. Ashley shoved it (the notion of ambition for success) back into a coffin, and nailed the lid shut from Day 1. Fletcher was a marketing genius and ahead of his years in terms of merchandising. Fletcher was an evil bastard, had a few dealing with him

  6. They can fuck off. Hope they get relegated, the fat fucker is shitting himself. Wonder how the mugs who turn up feel if we avoid relegation and the same happens again.

    And in the rare occasions they make themselves available they are static or moving towards our goal when receiving the ball. Never in a positive movement towards the opposition. Yup there are certain situations that happen during a game over and over again and a good coach normally models or formats positional awareness to deal with these. From the practice ground players should know where their team mates will be in different areas or phases of the game and also have alternatives this smooths the possession play and rids the need for panic or bad passes. This kind of thinking is light years away for us. Look how solid Chelsea are, how drilled and the huge amount of discipline...Man Utd have some of that but are often negative on the ball and don't transition dangerously as say Arsenal do. Spurs are normally all over the place but somehow magic goalscoring chances just by players over and over again making the same runs. The key is continuity - the teams struggling at the bottom don't have it. Exactly. In my eyes we're and have been completely dependant on the individual skill of the players to transform a negative position into a positive when receiving the ball. It's been like this for ages but now the skill level of the players on the pitch makes the lack of system jump out even more. They are unable to make that flashy turn or dribble to advance the play. Under Pardew when we were doing well and finishing 5th there was no system either. We just had skillful players high on confidence. Now that we have neither the team has nothing to fall back to. No basic way to play the game. It's an utter mess. I would argue that Ayoze is positive when receiving the ball, his first touch when he has his back to goal is quite often a turn that gets him moving towards the opposition goal. However, he then has absolutely no-one supporting him so has to either pass sideways or take someone on and loses it. Obviously, any coach worth his salt would encourage him to keep doing this and work out a way of getting players in positions to support him, but I imagine Carver frowns on these positive first-touch turns and would prefer him to just play the ball back into midfield. It's quite similar to what SBR said to Shearer when he first came in. He was receiving the ball with his back to the oppositions goal nearly all of the time. He changed the way Shearer played by telling him to be 'on the shoulder' of the defender, then changed the way the ball was played to him. Look what happened straight away.
  8. Go ahead then, it won't happen by itself. Apologies soopafan On a more serious note, I'm in favour of it, it's a good idea.
  9. Slammed into the camera It had two massive foam pads around it man, the only thing Vardy was bothered about is whether it messed his hair up. Look at the shit rugby players deal with constantly and tell me what happened to him was a big deal. Stupid, yes. A second yellow, absolutely. Let's not over do it though. Janmaats was barely even a trip, let alone a yellow card.
  10. Never in a million years was that a straight red
  11. Go ahead then, it won't happen by itself. Apologies soopafan
  12. What is the obsession about staying in the PL? It's a Murdoch run, greed obsessed waste of time. I was watching a video on YouTube of us staying up in 92. I wax here for that and players gave a shit. Fuck it, I'd rather we set up FC United of Newcastle, look what the Manchester club has done. It would be amazing to be involved in something like that and what be something we could be proud of. Who cares about Europe? The same teams will always be there, year after year. Had enough of it all
  13. Apparently Charnleys number was leaked on Twitter and #textcharnley is building. Probably a load of shite. http://i.imgur.com/GJRnU5hl.jpg
  14. Either Twitter and Facebook are just broken for me or they've deleted everything Did find this though with obvious but still amusing responses http://i.imgur.com/z4bfIac.png
  15. The club may suffer for a long time but quite honestly I'm so disillusioned with footy at the moment I couldn't care less. What's the point in being in the premier league anyway? Unless you're owned by a billionaire who is going to splash the cash the chances of getting even a champion league place are virtually nil. Everyone else just picks up the pieces and prays for a cup upset, not the existence I could tolerate for much longer. If you go down at least you could have a club for the fans once he's left. A team that cares and the ups and downs that go with it, not knowing what the season will bring and meeting some decent clubs and people along the way. Look at FC Manchester for example, that's what I could get behind - a club run be fans for everyone.
  16. Pathetic from those in the ground today. Nothing 34th minute stand up with a sign. Half time- mumble discontent Boo a substituition Boo at the final whistle. Do nothing in between previous actions. Go to the next game. What's the point man? Fucking hate at least half of our support. People don't want us divided...fuck that, let's get militant
  17. There'll be quite a few
  18. Not like last week though
  19. I'm a bit disappointed with the in the ground 34th minute stuff. It's just giving those fannies who were wavering before an excuse to go in. "I stood up in the 34th minute and did my part". Fuck that. They need to be as militant as they wer last week and keep pushing on with that.
  20. Trouble is if they do walk we'll just end up with a poorer manager who will happily accept the conditions. (Like the Keegan situation) Would love every manager to say f*** off to Ashley perhaps making him reconsider his conditions. But unfortunately there's always someone like Carver who will take whatever is thrown at them just so it keeps them in a job. A poorer manager will get us relegated, which Ashley doesn't want either. Something would have to give. I just don't want another Pardew, happy to lick his arse in public and willing to keep us in the league every year offering the square root of f*** all in terms of hope and progression. To be fair, after all that's gone on, I don't think a new manager could complain about being told to finish 7-17. Surely they would be aware of this before taking the job.
  21. Same for all bad managers. But he'll never do well, he'll be told that 7-10 is 'well'.
