FA Cup Third Round: sunderland (A) 06/01/24 @ 12:45 - Live on ITV
Wolfcastle replied to 54's topic in Football
Was a shit draw when it was made. People got chewed out for saying so at the time should at least have people seeing why. Not even saying we'll lose. Just that its a shit nothing tangible to gain draw. I'd be confident in saying we'll dominate this fixture henceforth and could well finish above them every season for the rest of our lives. but a one off game!? -
Southampton away was a lovely goal. He was also someone I felt very confident about from the penalty spot, think because he looked so confident himself. Which is extremely rare with us even with the likes of Beardsley, Cole, Lee an Solano.
-
Defended him when he was here. Never said he was great but could see the benefit of having a focal point as opposed none (which was the option most of the time and as we know once again its better to have fit strikers than unfit good ones). He was a good lad by all accounts, didn't hide and an honest pro. And as if being a far better player and helping to achieve special things here would spare you being slaughtered by some of our number.

Eddie Howe - Nominated for Manager of the Season
Wolfcastle replied to InspectorCoarse's topic in Football
Its an annoyance of mine but not universally right or wrong. A manager losing his job for being under par of the high standards he over-achieved to establish in the first place. Every manager has had seasons where they've gone backwards. Its only terminal if its someone that's never shown they can do anything prior. Happened to KK and Sir Bobby. 2000/01 under Sir Bobby was horrific, arguably worse and even more boring than Dalglish's first full season. -
I know man. As if when we lose with pride his sort aren't savaging the players and manager collectively and individually and instead praise the spirit and effort.* *and most of the time we don't even have to lose or draw for that to happen

I've come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass..,and I'm all out of ass kicking
-
Oh aye. The days when every game was a 1-1 draw or 1-0 win with them.
-
Got beat at home by a shit Blackburn team on his last boxing day as manager. Was a far worse performance and game than today.
-
Trippier and Burn (and everyone else) have been shite every game for years according to you, so I wonder what the difference could be between then and now since its not them.
-
Would be interesting to see his shots against to goals conceded ratio bet its tragic not a coincidence
-
Those that said it was a shit draw have been fully vindicated.
-
Thought the very same thing. Goalkeeper beaten at the near post, defenders and forwards strolling around as if qualification for a world cup wasn't on the line, not laying a glove on the opponent.....definitely the fault of a bloke putting a cross into the box.
-
Wood playing the role of Lua-Lua sort of. Lot more people itching to get on the current top manager for not meeting the high standards he himself created now than then though.
-
We were clearly the better team if were being coldly unemotionally objective about it
-
Unless its straight from the kick-off, every goal that's ever been scored can be traced back to an opposition player giving the ball away and the rest of the team can be made utterly blameless, if the scapegoat suits.

Wolfcastle replied to Disco's topic in Football
You and like minded folk did it all last season with drawing at home to Bournemouth and Leeds and ended up looking a right bunch of spoilt bairns in the end and have zero compunction about it. Weve dominated this game in the midst of a massive injury crisis and now were deservedly winning it. But aye criticise away, look a dick. -

Apart from the shooting from outside the box the rest sums up your contributions and support. -

He could have played more totally unproven academy players and give a sub keeper a run out. Those moaning about a lack of rotation I bet wouldn't criticise at all the subsequent poor performance and likely loss if Howe did that. -
I find it takes the edge off defeats for me. Knowing the some fans utterly deserve it.
-
Wilson is more likely to get injured in 10minutes of action than any that started completing the game
-
Dalglish got more benefit of the doubt from fans for only having Shearer out than Eddie gets for having more than an entire team out. And the football was abysmal.
-
Could just as easily say why bother if the game is over risking an injury to a player finding his way back. Not as good for venting piss though
-
What are supposed to rotate with exactly
-
Hasn't instilled confidence in those in front of him. That'll drop them a few %
-
Just a coincidence every other club rotates and makes multiple subsitutions every game - there's clearly no reason at all to do it.
