Shearergol Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Can't believe some of the stuff in the media man. The whole thing about not winning until November last year is so ridiculous. The beatings and results are going to be so brutal it will absolutely pale in comparison. A Norwich team with an injury crisis just completely outclassed us for goodness sake. Imagine how bad it will be if he somehow flukes a win in the first 10 games. Proved himself to be better than Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Says he is a Liverpool fan, he seems alright to me. I dunno, like. Couple weeks ago he was picking on Brian who was visibly getting upset. Talking about "Brucey ball(which is kind of funny)". But it was a conversation between four people but Laurence was targeting Brian. Saying things like "You know I hate to see you upset" while making him upset! Don't kick the guy while he's down. We all know we're s***. He was just rubbing salt in the wound and then acting like he's his friend. I seriously f***ing hate him. Was it not just bantz? Not that i really give a shit.

geordiedean Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 He’s a YouTube celebrity now, not a football guy. Hes a cunt and earned a fortune from being one. It's the classic example of a complete sell out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's shots to the person paying his wages directly to his face. He's weak. He can't get by on his own patter so he has to make fun of Brian. He's the only one thinking it's funny. Hugh Wizzy or whatever his name is didn't laugh. Everyone on there is sympathetic towards Brian regarding Newcastle. But Laurence always likes to play the contrarian. If you notice, you can never actually tell what he's talking about because everything is an inside joke only related to something that happened previous in the conversation. He has no actual opinion on football. The only debate he won was against Rory but Rory's just shite so that's easy. I didn't like the interviews with Ian Wright and Ricky Gervaise because Brian and Laurence would have their own separate convo then address Wright and Gervaise. It's disrespectful. Like they'll laugh to each other, act like the person isn't there, then address them with a question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I haven't watched THAT much but I like both TG and Laurence. The latter certainly isn't a non-football fan, he tends to have things on the money when I've watched, certainly re Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Very reassuring read that . I'd like to have imagined Charnley etc would've done a modicum of research into the guy before appointing him as their 11th choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly has no idea about tactics and game management. He is an old school manager in a new school division and he will be out-thought by every other manager in this league. You simply cannot send a group of players out onto a PL pitch with nothing more than a basic shape and motivation in 2019. 90% of teams, including those newly promoted, will chew us up and spit us out regardless of whether our players are better than theirs or not. In short, we're completely fucked! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
