If you’re on about cockney rhyming slang or people using local colloquialisms. Then fair enough. If not, then what on earth are you on about?! Despite being born down south. Hard A’s do make more sense to me than soft A’s, so I get that part. But I’m not having that only people from London understand each other Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i would argue as a Southerner not everyone is like how you describe them, as someone who has lived here a lot longer.

From a scouting/recruitment point of view all of our best transfers; Bruno, Botman and Isak were sorted before he arrived. His two main transfer windows have been underwhelming. Livramento and Gordon being the only good signings. Jury is out on Hall, Tonali and Barnes. If he is setting the recruitment strategy, we have clearly missed out on some excellent signings at other clubs ie. Paulinha, Kudus, Paqueta, Diaby, Boubacar Kamara, Jao Pedro, Maddinson, van de Ven …. The medical department is a shambles with our treatment of injured players and injury list in general. It isnt clear right now whether Ashworth is a success or not, we won’t know for 5 years or so. The head physio - who’s just left - was an Ashworth appointment. Not exactly a confidence builder.

Can hardly be too upset about it - there isn’t a future that exists where we’re bigger than Man Utd. Given FFP restrictions, it’s going to be hard enough becoming bigger than Spurs.

The Prophet Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Difficult to judge what we can't see. Howe has acknowledged errors have been made in the medical department, but didn't say what they were or who by. As for Ashworth, he's very highly thought of in the game, but it'll take a while to reap the benefits of his work. He's basically had to build every department from the ground up. The creeping criticism of everyone at the club because we're in poor form feels a bit misplaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive a mate from Wimbledon way on, lived up here for about 35yrs (long time NUFC season ticket holder btw) and if we are in a busy pub I find it so difficult to understand him because it's a struggle to hear him clearly and concentrate on what he's saying. It's not use of slang or anything like that but the pronunciations of the same words. I have to change my own speech if I go as far as York, we've family friends from Lincoln who often just glaze over and look for translations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoSelecta Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 As someone who moved down south I can say from experience that they do struggle to understand what we’re saying unless we consciously make it easy for them. I don’t think the reverse is true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because what Ashley did was shite, doesn’t mean we need to fawn over what follows. The ‘let’s do what Ashley did then’ stuff is daft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
