Billy the Kidd

Im confused here Charlie - if he is already a silk purse which you have indicated, why is that a ridiculous amount of money? I assumed you think we will turn him into a worse player, which I understand, if dont agree with.

Yep, and based on most of last season, looking on the sideline as fucking clueless as Laurel & Hardy too.

Exactly this. I worked for an Irish firm in maybe 2013, and they flew me to Belfast to fucking sack me. I did end up getting a handsome pay off, but i told them what i thought about dragging me all that way to do it.

Have they changed the season to a calendar year? Must have missed that. What title, or relegation, European places etc get awarded over the calendar year season, that doesnt exist? Or your point is, well pointless, as results are measured across a season, which, to my limited knowledge, extrapolates over 2 years - for example, the season that just finished actually started in 2021, and ended in May 2022.

Maybe, he thinks we will do fine with Che and AA. But he didnt say that. So it is a mystery. How many times he masturbates a day over his nonsensical responses is also a mystery

Of course, I was saying it tongue in cheek. And yep, weird how we can be Harlem Globe Trotters for a number of games then more like the Dog and Duck Sunday 11 for the remaining 30 games. Interesting summer ahead, im looking forward to it, but not convinced Ralph will finish the following season.

I was catching up on the forum early this am, and notice many times when you get Qd, you just disappear when you know you lost, instead of holding up your hands and accepting. You dont appear to be much of a man. How do you know he doesnt have a vice like control grip - answer is, you dont, and i dont know he does. It’s called an opinion, and this is a forum for people to discuss stuff. This is maybe the 2nd time in successive days you’ve posted that GIF, and it wasnt funny the first time. Maybe try a different approach if you want to debate with me, otherwise, dont bother. And btw - i said “I feel” - that isnt a claim, as you have erroneously stated above - it is an opinion, in terms of how I feel about the situation, a claim is to make it appear substantively correct - so wrong again.

Yep, he can stand there on the touchline when it is all going wrong, looking equally as gormless as now, with different people in the background doing fuck all. For this to work, Ralph I feel needs to relinquish his vice like grip on control, and be open to actually using the help.

Id be happy with 1 good player in every position…

May they will be that value, our trick is to still find those gems cheaper, which is why I think we will buy more academy grads from top clubs.

Well, I’m not sure this totally works out - you haven’t factored in that we brought VVD/Mane in the first place. Basically our recruitment has turned a bit shit, and needs to improve, but we have got this model right, and I feel more optimistic of this happening now we have new owners.

Put a towel down for me please.

Yay thanks works!

Won’t load for me 😖

Any streams for this - cant find one for love nor money.

Had to put gas on the meter - came in handy.

Thought they were talking about Not606, as in the ref to Politics which destroyed the place for me and many others. Could be wrong though, maybe TUI.

To be fair, this has been getting on my tits for a while. My renewal came up in my emails this week, and i cancelled it as not really posting as much.

Clearly Ralph wanted them then, after all he could have said no to a new contract for Long, said no to signing Theo, and said no to giving AM a new deal.

Yep thought the same, dont think it should have been a penalty, Saka had his arm, too. Of course, Alan Smith thought it was a penalty, what a shock.

It’s more than 2 home games isn’t it - didnt we lost to Newcastle, Watford, Chelsea in the EPL in a row? Or did I forget something?

Yeah i agree with that and dont think we are far apart from our views on this. To be clear, i dont think we should be challenging Europe either, and let’s see what the summer window brings. I do feel though that some of the results under Ralph are not isolated, as in losing heavily happens each season, and i mean heavily in terms of score line and just how bad we play on such occasions. But whilst we also go on good runs, which we are a joy to watch, we also serve up on the bad runs games like Watford at home, Newcastle at home and could list others across the last 3 years, where i think many other similar level managers would have tried to make us hard to beat, and something just doesn’t seem to click with Ralph to be able to do that. I’ve no idea why he cant, but something at these times seems pretty off, and I’m hoping he stops the rot pretty quick (I’m not anticipating anything better than a draw, and fear another fairly large loss v Arsenal), but soon after he needs to pick something up, as our bad runs with Ralph could see us going into next season on a bad run, and id fear for him in this situation. Like you suggest, if we finish 17th, I’m not sure our Board would accept it.

To be fair with KWP, he just needed to play, Im not sure this is a direct result of Ralph improving him at all, or just giving him experience by playing games, i think that is largely down to the player. JWP has improved for sure, Salisu I think is young and inexperienced I guess to judge, but can give Ralph credit there. But outside this small sample, i cant think of many others who have developed.
