lordswoodsaints Posted 26 March, 2012 Share Posted 26 March, 2012 On the eve of Adkins appointment I said that 'it would never work out,he would be sacked within a year and we should have gone for a big name' I also said 'the 5 year plan was a load of ****** as football is so unpredictable you can't have a plan' And Friday night I was talking about sharp not being fit and he won't get a decent chance until lambert gets injured....less than 24 hours later he bags a brace against Doncaster. I'm sure there's a few more,some of you might even dig some out and make me look even more of a ****, So I've come to the conclusion that I know fook all about football and I should keep my mouth shut. Anybody else want to own up to not knowing anything about football,or predictions that bite you on the arse? Cleanse your soul here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFrost Posted 26 March, 2012 Share Posted 26 March, 2012 Didn't post these all on here but Mikael Nilsson is a quality signing. Redknapp will definitely keep us up. Paul Wotton is a complete waste of time. (That's until I saw him play away from home and he gave absolutely everything trying to win possession for us when we lost the ball, which in that team was every other pass) Mark Draper will be a key player for us. Disagree that Niemi is a better keeper than Paul Jones. I will mention however that I called Leon Best's penalty miss in the play-off SF against Derby 5 mins after he scored that own goal, what with Burley bound to choose him as a penalty taker. Anyone call it sooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I will stand by the fact that had he not been such an arrogant tosser, more fans would have recognised that his approach was not far wrong - financial stability, infrastructure investment, not going stupid in the transfer/wage market etc.... is not that much different to what we are doing now. Had other clubs also followed a similar prodent financial pattern we would have been Ok in the prem... subject to getting managerial stabilty that is....
