  1. Seeing as RD is a cert, i'll go for Alan Shearer, was still a good striker here even if the stats don't suggest it.
  2. This thread is indeed full of half truths. Football dates back centuries! It has afew old names. Soccer was a popular name used by the universities in the 1860's to distinguish it from Rugger. It never became the popular name for Football in this country and has been used by the americans and aussies who have their own football. In Australia it even depends in what state you are in what football refers to. (Aussie rules/rugby league)
  3. The problem as I see it was the big gamble, call it a knee jerk if you like, that happenened in the summer when the club decided to let Pearson go. And then to embark on a grand experiment. I dare say it was intended to have all of the football community watch in awe of our great bravado. Problem is that the total football approach is not working. With the players at our disposal then a simple back to basics strategy should've been employed. The reasoning for going with this group of players was that the nucleus of the side had played together through the youth and reserve teams. Why then change the system they play to when it really matters - in the first team. Yes we play pretty football in two thirds of the pitch but this league needs a bit of bite and a leader on the pitch. We need an English manager who understands the league and knows what is required to do well in it. Our problem will probably be compounded as RL will sack JP in February so the new man couldn't use the transfer window. (conjecture) Look at alot of teams who have done well in this league, I'll take Pompey as an example, they were stuck where we are for a few years then brought in Prosinecki and did better. The following year they got Merson and it took off for them. That all happened when Harry went in as manager. A change now would not be a knee jerk reaction, it is waking up to what we need and stopping this crazy folly of Dutch total football, scary thing is I'd even consider getting GB back at the moment. And for me that is not nostalgia!
  4. Most amusing!!! Just light a match, walk away and boom.
  5. Probably 2
  6. Southampton. Possibly the worst run football club in the world!
  7. No one mentioned Andrei Kanchelskis, amazing! I will also nominate Armstrong
  8. ....and all that Jazz!
  9. Wow we will have to fight off Swindon and Crewe for the signature of Cotterill! I know we probably couldn't do much worse than JP but really!
  10. Beats me why I'm stood in front of a plane, in fact I haven't a clue about anything anymore!
  11. Where do the club see us in 3 years time and what plans are in place to achieve these goals?
  12. 2 wins from the last 15 games is hardly inspiring. He seems to chop and change his side about, it is as if he does not have a big picture. I feel we only have got this far without having a moan because none of us knew him and that anonimity has kept the wolves from his door! Time for a change and get a proper manager in who could give us a vision and build something rather than a coach who seems to react to the circumstances put in front of him.
  13. Could we not have MLT at left midfield. Ball and Armstrong in at centre midfield
  14. Centre mid will cause lots of problems, if we have an attacking and a defensive midfielder nominations seperately it would alleviate most of the arguements (I think).
  15. But he lives and runs this business for the shareholders and he has to listen to their opinion. This Agm the shareholders have to make their concerns heard loud and clear.
  16. MLT for LW surely. I only mentioned Chicken George as tongue in cheek, Danny Wallace for my B team nomination.
  17. To be honest it would have to be Chicken George Lawrence, no wait a minute I will nominate Danny Wallace only as Terry Paine is already a shoe in.
  18. Went to quite a few of the games in that cup, including Chelsea away when I seem to remember we scored 5 in the Southern final.
  19. How has Dodd got that many votes, Kenna and Mills were so much better players! Glad Golac has run away with it.
  20. Golac, one of the finest foreign imports of the pre premiership era!
  21. Ormerod was under rated he was such a good foil for Beattie that JB made the England team. Brett did so much running to create space for Beatts. Beattie was never the same player again after his partnership was broken!
  22. Presumably you are refering to the Japanese gentleman George Takei.
  23. Also Saga was in Poland squad.
  24. Pmsl
