Alberto2005 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 The decision to sack SBR was reprehensible in the extreme. FFS caved in to the Halls. The fact is that they were looking for an excuse to sack him; the 4-2 loss at Villa provided it. I sometimes wonder where we would be now if Sorensen had been sent off for handball when Bellamy (from whom SBR got the best) was through on goal and we'd won that match. Or if Jenas hadn't missed an open goal at Boro about two minutes before they equalised. Or if the officials had been halfway competent and seen that equaliser was scored with a hand. Or if Shay hadn't made a totally uncharacteristic error to let Norwich back into the game at SJP. Or if we'd put away one of the shedful of chances we had against Spurs. That's without mentioning the Dyer shit. We had an incredible amount of bad luck in those four games, which was what made it even more sickening when the fat mong started mashing the panic button. I don't think we can say those games were the reason he got the sack, if we'd have won those games it would have just been delaying the inevitable, the team we had that season would have come 5th at highest and we all know what Shepherd thought of that position the previous season. At that stage after a succession of successful years i think the board began to take our success for granted and didn't actually respect what Robson had actually done, if your going to sack someone with the caliber of Bobby then you need a damn well good replacement if your going to continue never mind progress on to the next level, we didn't do that, we got someone in who wasn't capable of repeating or even coming close to half the job the legend had done just years before. Which bit don't you understand? The wrong thread bit. Shit It fucked up so i copied and pasted it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Reckon we could see Enrique start tomorrow, surely Sam seen the effect N'Zogbia had against Brum when he had no defensive responsibilities?

BlueStar Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 My stupid bets £2 on Milner to score and Newcastle to win @ 9/1 £2 on Martins to scrore from outside the box @ 14/1 £2 on Zog last scorer @ 16/1 £4 on Newcastle to score first and fail to win @ 4/1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Article on .cock indicates he thinks Milner and Zog in tandem down a wing is doing us the world of good. Showing how dense he is. Worked pretty damn well against Birmingham in that first half where, arguably, we showed our best attacking/creative play all season. If the finishing wasn't utterly shite, we'd have had four in about twenty minutes, thanks to play largely originating from that left-wing. Zoggy attacking from deep was brilliant.

Minhosa Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I'm hoping for a Smith goal fest (hows that for optimism?). I'm so convinced he's gonna score today that, not only have I transferred him into my fantasy team, I've made him El Capitan. C'Mon Smithy son.

Syrette Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Will he ever start Emre? Every game I do the same thing, get to 60 minutes and starting cursing Sam because we could do with a bit of Emre's creativity. About 25 minutes later he'll come on.

Better suited as a sub IMO, I don't think he does enough as a starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
