CB Fry Posted 28 May, 2013 Share Posted 28 May, 2013 His job is to be professional and to manage a football team, not to get all worked up over a bit of banter between two sets of fans. To me he comes across as incredibly bitter and frankly unprofessional. I know part of his image is that whole "straight talking" thing, but I don't think you'd get too many other managers saying the same thing - not ones with a decent sense of humour and the ability to laugh at themselves anyway... You seem to be getting incredibly worked up about it some three years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffo Posted 28 May, 2013 Share Posted 28 May, 2013 Great, we now have their soppy little Ultras group in the premier league. With Holloway I'm sure it started with us when he was manager of Leicester and we won 2-1 there and Surman scored a penalty. Or it might have been 1-0 actually. But I seem to remember him being a nob after that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Under Weststand Posted 28 May, 2013 Share Posted 28 May, 2013 I remember simply laughing at the twit at the time. When our reserves beat his reserves. Nothing to get upset about.

macca155 Posted 28 May, 2013 Share Posted 28 May, 2013 My god we have a real element amongst our fan base now don't we. Anyway well said Kraken nothing wrong with Holloway he's a character and football needs more of them. He stands up for the teams he manages and I respect that. If you can't take it don't give it out, if he was our manager we would absolutely love him. Anyway three perfectly decent clubs joining the Premiership next year. They've all been on a similar journey to Saints so welcome and as Rut says if you think they are all going straight down then you are a mug who doesn't learn the lessons of history. They'll be amongst the relegation crew that's for certain but lets face facts so will Saints unless the club can genuinely step up. One thing that's guaranteed is that all three will fight like terriers to stay in the league and will be no pushovers. At least one of them will take points out of Saints... guaranteed. And we get to have a night out in Cardiff again... great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second season in the prem is notoriously difficult. Lets face facts last year everyone had Saints as certain to go down. I think next year won't be dissimilar.

Second season in the prem is notoriously difficult. Lets face facts last year everyone had Saints as certain to go down. I think next year won't be dissimilar. No, not everyone had Saints certain to go down at the start of the season. It is very likely that Crystal Palace and possibly the other two promoted teams spend the majority of next season in and around the bottom three. I expect Palace to go down.

SuperMikey Posted 28 May, 2013 Share Posted 28 May, 2013 I'm not really getting worked up over Holloway's comments, I find it hilarious how precious he gets whenever he's on the receiving end of a bit of stick. Just trying to make the point that I think he's an utter bellend is all. Btw Holloway is not a character, he's a complete f*ckwit. To quote (verbatum) Sean Lock on the subject... "If anyone ever says to you: "you have to meet my mate, he's a real character", my advice would be don't get your hopes up. The extent of his "character" will be sticking his c*ck in your pint when you go to the toilet." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 28 May, 2013 Share Posted 28 May, 2013 I must have missed the offensive part of what he said there, if I'm honest. Holloway is a bit of a goon, but I can't see much wrong in what he said there. Apart from if you're massively precious, of course. I'm not offended, I said he was a plank. "Premier League you're 'avin' a laugh!" is in chapter 1A of football chants and yet it clearly rattled him a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new poster Batman talked about boycotts immediately after one of my posts when the only other person I had had extensive conversations about that topic with was Jamie AKA thedelldays.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 28 May, 2013 Share Posted 28 May, 2013 I've been quite impressed with Holloway's approach to the playoff games and surprised that he played as defensively to stifle the opposition compared to the swashbuckling attacking with reckless abandon associated with his time at Blackpool. That said given the amount of airtime he'll now get as a Premier League Manager he will be highly irritating as he most definitely likes the sound of his own voice.

adrian lord Posted 30 May, 2013 Share Posted 30 May, 2013 (edited) Anybody remember a particularly ill-tempered Saints v Palace match at the Dell in the late 70s? A warm sunny day but that was not reflected in Palace's mood. Palace tried to cripple the Saints team with scything fouls from the kick off. When Palace emerged after half time it was to the sound of 20000 chanting "animals! Animals! Animals!" Their fans were barely more cordial - a coach full broke down just off the Avenue and I remember looking on horrified but at the same time fascinated, as a long haired, flared jeaned, Palace thug with the then de rigeur scarf tied around his wrist, proceeded to kick and dent the door of a white escort van shouting and foaming at the mouth to the driver "are you Saarfampton?" Quite an education for a ten year old lad from the leafy villages of Hants. Edited 30 May, 2013 by adrian lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted 30 May, 2013 Share Posted 30 May, 2013 The thing with Holloway, for me, is that he thinks he's got banter. If you go giving it out, you've got to be able to take some, and he can't. That said, I'm glad it's Palace rather than Watford. Always had good times at Selhurst and Watford's loan army getting promoted would've been all wrong IMO.

Sydenhampton Posted 30 May, 2013 Share Posted 30 May, 2013 I'm chuffed Palace made it up! Living in their back yard and having pals supporting them has given me a soft spot for them so I join the wellwishers on this thread. I took the ball & chain up to Palace on Sunday for a ruby and the place was buzzing with Wembley returnees. Next season? Bring it on. As for Holloway, yeah he's a bit of a plank but definitely a likeable one. The game needs characters as opposed to more boring Wenger style managers and I'm wondering what odds I can get on him making another viral "in the taxi" tyoe comment at some point next season! I hope they stay up. They won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
