Absolutely no chance imo.

Disjointed is the word but we're talking semantics in that case, I think the general point is that it's not good. Mixture of long balls, sloppy passes, lack of movement.

i don't think people watch enough, thats why they think we play hoof ball all the time, play a high line all the time, someone says it and many go along with....emperors new clothes. I personally don't think we play hoofball all the time as such but that we play it far too much. Are a few players in there that clearly hit and hope almost every time they get the ball, e.g. Simpson, Williamson, Ryan Taylor, and Krul's always just blasting the ball up without a doubt.

Why do you think people are lying about what they're seeing then, madras?

How the fuck is it even possible to do that within the space of 12 minutes?

He ran the show against Villa away and was unlucky not to get a couple of goals. Was his best game for us off the top of my head but haven't seen him as an attacking threat in that many other games tbh. Still think he's done well, to clarify. And agree that our game's not really geared towards him at present.

Clearly. My point still stands. Perhaps it's the company I keep.

I've never met a fan with similar views to the likes of Cronky like, makes me wonder.

Think he'll come into his own next season if all goes well, have always had a feeling this would be the case with him. His anonymous performances haven't been exclusive to the last few months at all, he's been inconsistent all season.

Have put a £5 free bet on 2-2 @ 14/1, have fancied a draw for a good few weeks now.

It's not even just about the fact he's not starting, it's even worse than that as he's not even getting off the bench for 3 games in a row and is then expected to come in when we're struggling and save our bacon. I'd rather he was starting every week but failing that you'd at least expect him to be getting 20+ minutes each game to prevent this ridiculous situation where he's got it all to prove every time he's on the pitch. It's just been comically mismanaged and I hope we don't regret it.

Wayne Quinn could have done a job.

I wouldn't say Wullie was depressing fwiw, I think a lot of of his posts are are slightly tounge in cheek, or an exaggeration of his views though, especialy in the heat of the moment (and I agree with a lot of what he says). I'd say you were the same Heza, just from the complete opposite end of the spectrum (i.e from a more positive viewpoint of things). Wullie's the best football poster on here imo, might be because I share a lot of his views mind.

Care to point to some examples where he hasn't worked hard for the team? Wasn't really the point - more pointing out that it is perfectly acceptable to expect talent and industry. The point is that it's perhaps a bit of a myth that HBA is lazy. Also you don't get many players with the flair of Beardsley that will chase down every ball like a total lunatic. For example Bergkamp was clearly a pretty impeccable professional but you could be forgiven for thinking he was a bit aloof at times. Suppose I'm saying it's not black and white, just because he doesn't work as hard as Beardsley doesn't mean he doesn't put the work in that you'd expect of a flair player.

Ahh, shame, can't really make it there and back to meet my mate so will do either C and L or Famous Three Kings. Sean and Michael are really sound. You ever play any five-a-side? Sean set one up for Tuesday evenings but it seemed to peter out. We should definitely try to arrange a kick around sometime, preferably with the mackem in nets begging for his life Sean played 5-a-side with us over Christmas. I think it was my 2nd game in the last decade so I was absolutely fucked. I'm intent on getting a bit fitter once I move house though (there's a free gym) so maybe I'll be up for a few games by the summer.

Ana. As above, all sorted now. Gonna just stick to that plan because I'm sick of the fannying about. Aye, I saw you in Famous Three Kings (Wigan, home). I only met Sean and Michael and that in the last 12 months but they're friends of friends and I see them quite regularly now.

Finally sorted, going to Yucatan on Stoke Newington High Street.

Hmm, intriguing. My mate Sean had invited me to a group on facebook called 'mackems' which is about this game and one of the people in the conversation was a mackem and derailed the 'cock and lion'. Same thing for you? Haha I know Sean! Who's this, is it Guy? If so then I've met you, it's Neil. Fucking fed up with the indecision now like, the mackem has properly hoyed a spanner in the works and we're nowhere near a decision. It's unfortunate the mackem's a canny lad and there's potential for hilarity if we beat them, or else we'd probably just say Cock & Lion I reckon.

That was our plan but one of the attendees is a mackem and for some reason we're not going there at his request. Not really sure where to go now.

I took it to mean what I'd settle for and went with "not losing". Would love to beat them yet again but it's crucial we don't get beat, could see our season taking a real nosedive if we did.

It was just a joke, but I can see how calling all the white players psychos can be misinterpreted. It's changed. Is that another joke? Ah, fuck it.

The way I read that it's one of the most racist things I've ever read on here. Not quoting in case you fancy changing it.

I don't know what the fuck he even means tbf.

Ah, I've changed one to Vuckic as I meant to do first time around.

It's a good point like, I remember when I used to dislike a lot of our players and would admit as much to fans of other clubs.
