saint_bert Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Wow!! What an articulate, well spoken individual!! So impressed with what he said. To sumsrise: Pardew is always on your case in a positive way We must change the mentality of the club Expect goals at SMS as AP likes positive, winning football The younger players need freedom to express themselves and have faith in their own ability to lead and not feel over awed by the experienced players. Best technical bunch of youngsters he's ever seen!! The -10 isn't a burden that's affecting them. It's being used to spur them on!!
RoundHill-Saint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Murty is a ledge, i met him a couple of years ago, bloody nice bloke
S-Clarke Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Murty is so important to us this season - off the field too. He's got a positive vibe around him which drives success. You've got to be a pretty strong individual to lead a team to 108 points in the championship. So pleased we've signed him.
sambosa75 Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Our back 5, providing we sign Jaidi is looking pretty rich in experience for this season! Davis, Murty, Perry, Jaidi and Harding. Loads of games under their belt be nice to see a back four with experience in seeing out games, instead of pressing the panic button at the first sight of danger.
The Flying Finn Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 He always came across very well on MOTD2 last season
Tractor_Saint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Wow!! What an articulate, well spoken individual!! He was NOTHING until SaintsWeb sponsored him - now he's coming out of his shell :smt040
Window Cleaner Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 He was NOTHING until SaintsWeb sponsored him - now he's coming out of his shell :smt040 Working as a waiter in a ****tail bar was he? (For the very young; Human League circa 1981)
Colinjb Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 He must be our captain, I've met him before and he is an excellent individual.
surrey1saint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 I think the man is a leader both on and off the pitch.....COYR!!
.comsaint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 (For the very young; Human League circa 1981) And what a fine band they were too! Those were the days...

Great report - and the message coming across sounds really positive to my ears - I can't wait for Saturday, it could be a great start to the season!
saint_stevo Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 im guessing he perfected his articulate, well spoken approach during last season between muffins and pies?

Alain Perrin Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Working as a waiter in a ****tail bar was he? (For the very young; Human League circa 1981) Don't remember them, too young . I am in two minds, skill wise I just don't think Murty is up to much really, maybe if he can get fit and lay off the pies. You are a young player though and you'll respect him. Unless you want Murty to give you an earfull, you'd better play we'll. Do you agree with me?

Saint Fan CaM Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 What I like about Murty is he walks the walk on the pitch. His positional sense is very good and when he regains match fitness, I think you will see that he is far from past his best in terms of agility with some telling runs to the byline and good crosses. If Rasiak is still around, he will benefit greatly from Murty IMO.
saint_bert Posted 6 August, 2009 Author Posted 6 August, 2009 Thinking back to it I'm sure he would make a top, top coach or even a manager
dronskisaint Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Working as a waiter in a ****tail bar was he? (For the very young; Human League circa 1981) 'But even then he knew he'd find a much better place Either with/without Pardew'

Bet he didn't think at his first cap for Scotland against Wales that five years later on he'd have the world at his feet.
Charlie Wayman Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Kelvin Davis is OUR CAPTAIN! Kelvin is The Rock on whom our future will be built. Kelvin will be here for a while... As good as it is to get an energetic and enthusiastic Murty on borad, he is only here for one year, maybe two so obviously we do not want to raise the spectre of an alternative captain however good he was in that role at Reading. Sensible guys that they are, I am sure they'll work something out between them when it comes to bossing the kids around!

Saint Bowood Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Kelvin - Club captain Graeme - Team captain next........
saint_bert Posted 6 August, 2009 Author Posted 6 August, 2009 Goalkeepers should NOT be captains. End of..... Dino Zoff may disagree.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 That would've been quite clever if you had actually made it make sense. Love the fact that we've signe Murty, and I can't wait to see him in Action.
Cabrone Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Our back 5, providing we sign Jaidi is looking pretty rich in experience for this season! Davis, Murty, Perry, Jaidi and Harding. Loads of games under their belt be nice to see a back four with experience in seeing out games, instead of pressing the panic button at the first sight of danger. Got to agree with that, sounds very good. I think we still need one or two combative midfielders (Holland?) and keep Rasiak and I think we'll have a very good looking team for this season.
Lets B Avenue Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 'But even then he knew he'd find a much better place Either with/without Pardew' "You'd better play right back or we will both be sorry".
Tractor_Saint Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 "You'd better play right back or we will both be sorry". "But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now And I can put you left back too" Ps for those that are confused
Minsk Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Goalkeepers should NOT be captains. End of..... Kelvin - Club captain Graeme - Team captain next........ I agree with all of the above.
Minsk Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 And Peter Shilton. Personally I hated it when he was captain and always thought there were better options.
Saint_Ash Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 The ex wife's second cousin is married to Murty and a few years ago my old in laws had dinner with him and his wife up at his house. Apparently he was a great bloke, very nice and humble. He also told them that we tried to sign him about 6 years ago but reading weren't listening.

Any one with a more tenuous family connection to a team member?
dronskisaint Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 "You'd better play right back or we will both be sorry". 'Now five years later on you've got the ball at your feet promotion to Division two'* * old money!
Jez Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Any one with a more tenuous family connection to a team member? No, not possible
Saint_Ash Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 No, not possible Shut up! Jimandy told me this story himself!
RedAndWhite91 Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Love the fact that we've signe Murty, and I can't wait to see him in Action. Keep on getting the Feeling that we aren't going to sign anyone else, but I'll watch our transfer dealings with Fascination
Saint Without a Halo Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 (edited) Goalkeepers should NOT be captains. End of..... Negative point is they can't get about the field to gee the side up although a plus point is they get the best view of everything that is happening and can certainly control a defence! It does depend on the charecter though! Shilton defended his clean sheets like Boycott defended his batting average. Woe betide any unfortunate defender who let him down they got a real tongue lashing that ensured they kept up 110% concentration throughout the game! Edited 6 August, 2009 by Saint Without a Halo

Unless you want Murty to give you an earfull, you'd better play we'll. Do you agree with me? You may be on to something here you know - if you ask me I think that as long as we can't persuade good CCC players to believe that that it is worth it to make the drop to League One when they have just a few years left (of course I am talking about a short career) then others hear about it on the grapevine. And that makes it far harder to recruit new talent. If you were asked to drop a division and you know that others won't do so then I for one can certainly see why people hesitate. That would certainly be the case for me. You've got to be Human in this League.
Trumush Posted 7 August, 2009 Posted 7 August, 2009 Very good Laptop Saint It was worth the 48 hours it took you to cobble that one together !!!
