Doctor Zaius

I see that 'freak' Yanga Mbiwa hasn't pulled up any tree's in France. I was fairly convinced that he was going to go and make a right mug out of Pardew when he left here. Seems he might have been a bit shite all along.

The how soon is now bit.

This 'Watford, know your place' patter is lifting. How can we sit and whinge about a lack of ambition from the club yet simultaneously whinge when other clubs show a bit of desire to progress. They started well, but have tailed off as the season has went on. He's lost 5 on the bounce and its obvious that the players don't like him. Regardless of whether he's been there 10 weeks or 10 years, its clearly the correct decision to get rid.

Is that Darren 'chinky' Curry himself? I seen his lass was on one of the facebook groups ordering people 'getting their hands in their pockets' and that if anyone didn't like it they could 'fuck off'. Daft cunts.

Absolutely not. Living abroad I've been able to watch a total of one game meaning its a struggle to keep interested. Of course, basically nobody wants to talk about the championship either because nobody really gives a fuck.

He nails current affairs and popular culture 9 times out of 10 like. Thats why they're so good.

The whole Sunderland getting relegated is bitter sweet for me. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see them utterly crumble, but given that they've handed us some absolute pastings in recent years, I just can't celebrate it as much.

Thats class.

:lol:

Thats one of the most average England squads I ever did see like. Fuck me. Compare that to even 10 year ago.

Brilliant that like

Always have a belting time in Gotham tbh

Worth remembering too that most of us thought we were gonna struggle big time in 09/10. Drubbed by Orient in pre season and with Hughton in charge, we weren't too optimistic. In contrast to this season when most thought it would be a breeze. 09/10 was a pleasant surprise all things considered.

Makes you wonder whether the club are behind this. Destabalise his position because they'd prefer another yes man.

Dummett is decent enough defensively. I'd say he could nullify players way above his level. it's the other atrocious aspects of his game that let him down.

It's all contextual as well. Keeping up momentum with a group of already motivated played, sticking to a game plan, making sure players keep their cool in a title race is obviously a completely different skill set to motivating demotivated players, freshening up tired tactics, finding replacement players etc. Benitez is prime example. Would you say he's a good manager? He's obviously good in the right situation but not in others and its the same with most managers. It's not as simple as good manager/bad manager.

The reaction has been mad. You'd think they had sent him off to dignitas for fucks sake. They haven't scored a league goal in 2017 and it's nearly March. Was he going to turn it around? Probably not. What are the board supposed to do? Sit around and pray he turns it around? Regardless of his achievements last season, they probably rightly considered relegation as unacceptable and if they thought they were heading that way, then its obviously the right decision.

:lol: This forum is truly up it's own arse at times like.

TGI's isnt that bad tbf like. Just your standard chain found in retail parks, shopping centre's etc.

Certainly not. Ipswich and Burnley early 60s, Ipswich being the better story. Sorry, man, they hit it out of the park. Not sure they do mind.

Finishing is definitely something that can be improved, and often improves amongst forwards. Of course, sometimes it doesn't. One example is Suarez, i remember he wasted a load of chances in his younger days/first season at Liverpool. Obviously he worked at it and became one of the most clinical strikers in the world*. *Not comparing Suarez to Mitro before anyone has a stroke, just using it as an example as to how finishing can be improved.

First chance is a good of a miss as any. Clean through with a good aim at goal. Its a decent stop but he should be scoring those. Having said that, I do think the goals will come soon enough.

here here. Fuck them. Cunts.

good that like

Pardew is hardly some calculated super villain here. Infact, there is nothing calculated about him. He's cringeworthy, foolish and rash which is largely why he's a shit football manager. It doesnt surprise me that he's sound enough initially. It's after a while people start seeing through his bullshit for what an absolute fool he is. Thats parts of the reason why he always starts off well, then has these massive downturns in form.
