Badger

Oh fuck ! Hope this isn’t going to give Lego more excuses in the “narrative”.

As ‘names’ go that would be quite a dramatic one, although not likely to be interested given our plight. Can’t blame him. Anyway, just hope it’s not Rasmus flying out to Barcelona to bring our next manager back.

I think that was quite predictable, even last May after the match.

RVN has an abundance of attacking players at Old Trafford to select from. Don’t think you can take anything from his brief time there. If you go back a few pages one of the posters who follows Dutch football (may even be Dutch) makes a good summary of his time at PSV. Nothing special (even if he would be an upgrade on RM)

Yes but RM has got a beard Ange can only dream of.

Same here, growing up in 1960’s/early 70’s Halloween didn’t exist. Can’t really recall when it came to prominence, possibly just an excuse for a piss up in pubs late 70’s onwards Not sure if you’re serious about the 50’s as we weren’t aware of it in 60’s , but might depend where you were living at the time.

Thanks for the update. If you bump into him at a Valenciennes match or press conference, please give him my best wishes in finest English. ”Oh by the way Rasmus, Badger sends his regards. And he thinks you’re a cunt ”.

I think this must have been taken two years ago as Martin Semmens is on Dragan’s right. He was the one who treated the SR arrival with a great fanfare. If the picture is ‘telling’ then it’s worrying that Dragan has had nearly two years to bin the knobhead chancers, and they’re still here.

So do you/they let this view be known at the match ?

And when neither of them feature for a few weeks clearly the problems lie deeper

Are they though ? Or is it the internet forums that are out of step with the public mood ?

He's on a mega salary. And if press reports/rumours are correct he may get to knob Miss Pinder in his spare time. I can see why he thinks life is pretty good and doesn't let a little thing like football results get in the way of enjoying it. Who was it at our club who said something to the effect t of 'results aren't important' ? It might have been Semmens, who's now gone, but it seems that is another "philosophy" ( and we do seem to like those) which is pervasive through the club.

Yes, mentally weak, and fragile. Might also want to add the failure to appeal decisions at the right time...I can't imagine many clubs (especially Liverpool, Man Utd or trhe other 'big' clubs) meekly accepting the shirt pull on Tall Paul v Leicester, or yesterday's double leading up to the Wolves second. Damn sure they'd have got a VAR review even if they'd needed to carry the ref over to the monitor. Interestingly the MOTD team all thought there had been fouls in the build up (And that our goal should have stood). I didn't think RM made enough of that either in his interview.

And if we’re really reckless with our shooting the opposition get to start their possession halfway up the field in the centre circle. Far too close to our goal for comfort.

Just seen, May 1976. Wonder what was occupying my thoughts that month ? Certainly wasn’t the Wurzels.

Thanks, not sure how credible the site quoted is (which seems to emanate from the wonderfully named Nick Mashitter).

In other words, we can’t defend and are completely impotent up front. Don’t wrap it up in 21st Century Xfactor phrasing about “the guys”, just admit what we can all see week after week.

What stories re DoF ? As for Carsley, that would be another desperate uninspiring appointment. Almost Lego Head II , but without the hair, beard, (and charisma ???).

But that would deviate from the “philosophy”.

As bizarre as that signing may seem, he is now possibly the only striker to panic the opposition. How damning is that of recruitment since ?

Seems to have gone a bit quiet on talk of a contract renewal

I preferred it when he was reported to have said ‘stop the count, Southampton have already won the league’.

Another thing crossed my mind today. Selecting THB and Ramsdale isn’t so much having a look at them in the England squad, as Carsley’s early job application. He was apparently at Brentford at some point I believe. Personally my response to this is ‘fuck off’ . Rather stick with ‘Lego Head’ than bring ‘Billiard Ball Head’ here.

Reminds me of Adkins time in the EPL with us when we were facing another team at the bottom of the table (forgot opponent) whose manager was also under pressure. One of the tabloids labelled the match the 'El Sackicco' contest. This was put to Adklins in an interview and he responded with a hearty laugh. Imagine Alfie House or Blackmore putting this to RM and he'd probably go into one of his more prickly modes.

Can only help long term ....£££££ ....
