    I fancy them today, gut feeling, no pressure on them as underdogs and even a draw will be a moral victory. Underdogs against Wigan in the 3rd division
  2. I think a lot of people know this and just wilfully misrepresent it to suit themselves (RTG), which is low. The many others that just assume those versions of events to be representative are ignorant. (also RTG) Its a civil war fuelled by proxy operators - both of these things take two sides and even then its an Arab coallition not just one country. I actually never seen it represented as anything else....until we were taken over.
  3. Because normally managers go into a perfect set ups after their predecessors were sacked for doing a great job and a 'new manager bounce' like, never happens, its not even a thing, just some words put together The all-out defense of this bloke - who has achieved nothing as a manager in nearly a 25years is weird. He's the victim again.
  4. Last time I seen him was on Match of the Day or Focus and was saying he'd had offers but was waiting for the right opportunity. Honestly thought he was angling for us. The other offers must have been corkers.
  5. Barbaric this is. Shows what a great job the previous manager did that we could be on a 7game unbeaten streak and still be in the relegation zone at the weekend. That Burnley game is written to matter isnt it.
  6. So Spurs that. Would also have been so Spurs to get thrashed at Man City and then get beat at Burnley too. Such are the trials of a pretendy big six club.
  7. A limited SJP over that any day for me.

    Burton have a 22% loss rate against the mackems, the only league team they've played more than 7 times and have a lower loss rate to is Wimbledon. Similar to our record against Barcelona. I know which one I'd rather have a s**t record against,
  9. ‘Bruce so far, has given the team nothing. No instructions, no shape, no tactics, no clear plan, just chaos’ Yes, I'm familiar with his works
  10. This c*nt still on £8million+ a win this season?
  11. For some exttra interest Stoke, Millwall and Blackpool who are right behind WBA play tomorrow. Stoke would go above them with a win, Millwall could go above them with a win and both will still have a game in hand. Not that I'm bitter or anything.
  12. Wasting no time with this one. Be able to squeeze in the razing to the ground of a few more clubs if the move quickly.
  13. Oh well, down to 11th, joint 11th/12th really, with three of the four teams behind with games in hand. Good job they sacked that bloke who had them 4th.
  14. In my dream last night these won 0-3. Was at Everton (iirc) and the narrative was it was a prelude to our game, but thought I'd get it out there and jinx it all the same. Freud reckons I'm bricking it.
  15. He had Howey, Sir Bobby sold him years later and he chose to sell Ginola and Beardsley. Ferdinand was more a PLC decision (that money was then wasted on Andersson and Guivarch). In the same time-frame and on less Arsenal won the league and Chelsea 3cups and sailed past us - both were previously behind us. Not actually sure if anybody spent more. Would have took a Hendy, a Pires/Collins (for Ginola) and 1good instead of 3woeful forwards. Keegan built the team that nearly won the league - Ginola, Hislop, Gillespie, Barton and Ferdinand on the sales of Cole, Venison, Mathie, Neilson, Fox and Sellars almost to the penny.
  16. His attitude is fine, they all are now and they're trying their utmost and in a way it feels a bit ruthless but Krafth., not alone, just isn't good enough and is on borrowed time. I'll thank them for their efforts of late and am right behind any of them for the rest of this season. Probably/hopefully going to have a lot of that going forward.
  17. Solano never played for him. Just my opinion but I don't think of Hamman as a good signing just decent, was not an improvement anyway.
  18. Dalglish was horrific - and the amount of money he had is grossly under-estimated - he spent £30million between the summer of 97 and 98. Which was more than Keegan spent in 96 on Tino, Batty and Shearer which was the only real splurge. Only Given, Pearce and Dabizas that he signed and played under him were good. Speed was poor until Gullit came in. Serrant, Georgiadis, Tomasson, Guivarch, Andersson, Rush, Pinas, his son and Perez were inexcusably rotten signings. As was the football played and the games and riddles in interviews. Don't even dislike him but he was utterly s**t for us.

    That's basically me. I'd be humble with and thankful for the minority of fans/media that were on our side and cared about a club being maltreated through the last era. But 90% either didn't care or thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the mackems. that threat always reminds me of Chandler's response to winning money from Phoebe on friends after betting and she says it cursed "I'll take it, bad things happen to me anyway (people hate us anyway). This way i can break them up with a movie"

    I dunno they've sweet talked Drumville, Short (with Quinn's taking full-houses 98-02 as the rule not exception) and now Satori and KLD, after the previous sugar-daddies, lost fortunes and got not thanks for it, into investing in them for some reason. Used to say to a bloke I worked with that we had the wrong owners, based on how we responded to investment under SJH compared to them and how Ashley probably wouldn't run up debts if he owned them writing cheques their support couldn't cash.

    I mean, that's not even the quote/principal. Its power corrupts. Based his entire narrative and post on a made up quote/event - very RTG.
