Yes..... All is good, just intrigued to the relevance.

WTF?

He's taking the p!ss, he's taking the p!ss Ryan Bertrand he's taking the p!ss in my opinion, not against our opponents, but against us as a club and fans. in my opinion he is wage thief on holiday...... bin him off, at the moment he is a disgrace to the shirt.

His CV as "Director Of Football" is comparable to the very best in the world. That's not me defending him, that is just fact. Reed won't be going anywhere soon.

FFS.FO

He is a passenger at the moment.... little more than going through the motions.

Absolutely......I would almost play him without a defined position......Make him the "magic man".

What have you seen from Pelligrino that suggests he is the way forward? His selection, his tactics, his formation, his subs?....what? It just isn't working, it's not close to working (Don't make me dig up the stats - they are out there and awful.....worse than awful). I am not typically one for rip and replace, but this guy is out of his depth, and nothing is going to change. Not helped by what looks like Van Dyke and Bertrand, seem to be passengers, but this is the single most uninspiring, lackluster, negative, turgid, pile of sh!te I've ever seen. What compounds this, is the actual squad is pretty decent and the starting eleven looks top half to me....... we don't look close to that and will be in serious trouble if we keep doing what we are doing.............. What's foot stamping childish about that?

I'd build the team around Boufal

Get rid ASAP. he is not going to change his style or tactics. Which clearly aren't working. Turgid, negative, easy to read football, is not what we are about. Outside the penalty, that is another home game with one shot on target. Act now.

My Dad once met Frank Stapleton in a hotel lift and asked him for an autograph for his son....... Stapleton said "come with me" and took him to the room where the whole team were having their evening meal. A napkin was passed round the table and signed by everyone. Shortly after he met Peter Shilton on a train and asked the same question - He got told where to go

There already has been.... and they found him

Quite so, but we are now getting into record breaking territory (If not already smashed) for goals at home in the last 15 games. It's totally broken and not working, nobody, but nobody can argue that, the stats, facts and results are testament to that. The irony for me is that Puel's team created chances, just didn't score them. At the moment, we aren't even creating at home. And if Pelligrino, isn't taking advice (And I completely agree, not from here) Then he is an idiot................ Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

hmmmmm We might need to score or at least look like scoring to get anywhere close to that ...... we aren't, we don't and we won't ..... hope you get to shove this post down my throat at the end of the season, but as of now, you are smoking crack cocaine.

£10 to a charity of your choice, for every video clip that you can show a decent shot from Redmond (Pea rollers don't count)..... today's game.

Well, If you are going to lose, then put up a fight - We did that and competed across the pitch. That's fine and (Against United) deserves the praise that some are bestowing on the team. I would exclude first half performances from Redman and Bertrand, where firstly Redman is in a run of bad form, doesn't deserve his place in the team and has turned in another sub- acceptable performance, that picked up slightly in the second half, but a long way from being acceptable in the shape and formation we play (One up front). Secondly I have no idea what is going on with Bertrand, it almost feels like he is cheating us, no over laps when then option is on, not moving up with the team when the space is there and an almost deliberate nonchalance, that comes across as "I Don't give a flying f**k". But the elephant in the room is not going away. We cannot score, we do not look like scoring and De Gea won't have many easier games as that. We can look back at some battling efforts, some great performances (Lemina), but we aren't scoring goals, we don't look iike scoring goals ............... and this is at home. Many will ***** and moan , but the stats are worse than freaking awful......... This is a huge huge huge problem, and way past personal opinions, this is facts. I thought Long was excellent today, you couldn't ask anymore of him than he gave or did, but the shape or tactics don't support one up front, the midfield don't move up and that includes the attacking or more forward midfielders. When we really needed a goal ....what did we do .......... put another striker on...... if that's the answer why not start like that. I am not suggesting that 4-4 -2 is the absolute answer (Although at this point in time, would have to be my preferred option) but we can't carry on like this. Plucky second is rubbish, Many are celebrating a home defeat, which whilst against a team like United is no real shame in itself, the lack of goal scoring opportunities at home really is..... especially when you look at the last 10 home games. Whatever we are doing is not working ....... time to change it.

http://news.sky.com/story/transport-for-london-will-not-renew-ubers-licence-11047580 Wonder whether other Cities will follow suit.

Agreed

LOL - I did see them - But not one paper has run with it.....not even as a rumour

Couldn't agree more Eric

Ha ha .....Someone once told me we spent more hours as a club, with Lawyers, than we did on the training pitch........ I'm sure that was just a joke............. Although there is a great story (3rd hand so no idea if it is true) about a very young, very junior young man who was sacked on the spot (no idea what for)......... His Dad was apparently Queens Council. I will leave the rest to your imagination.

Can I charge NC the £5 it cost me back then? Anyway - Should make it easier for Glasgow.

Maybe the 68 million pound loan he took out with Vibrac played a part? That was his second loan from Vibrac, the same loans that he mocked other clubs for taking out and assured us he would never do........ then went and it did the very same :lol::lol: What is interesting is that loan had two signatures - Gareth Rodgers and NC (All available from Companies House £2.50) and were charged against every single asset of the club. Perhaps more interesting is the first thing that KL did was restructure that loan with Macquarie Bank against her own estate, for better terms. Kinda begs the question why she didn't do that in the first place.......... If she was aware of it :scared::scared: Don't get me wrong, whilst a strange man, NC dragged this football club up through the leagues and is part of our history. But the model of him spending other peoples money unchecked, was a sustainable as pompeys financial strategy and anyone with half a brain could see things would have to change.
