But you think my theory about yo-yo club is correct, don't you?

No. It isn't 'your theory'.

You've simply added one and one together (not bad for a farmer) and come up with the master plan that when we go down this season, we will have a good chance of getting promoted again (as will 2 other clubs).

From that, you've pretended your Sherlock fucking Holmes and called us a yo-yo club. What's worse is you've claimed that's the club's cunning plan all along, even pretending we didn't recruit badly in the summer, but actually we are fucking geniuses by recruiting for next year.

Walter Mitty was a sane elderly gent compared to you.

Ooh, one of the hyena's has shown up. Let me guess, posting about me again? What is that, 18 of your last 20 posts about me?

No idea. Not my job. And I'm not naming names just for you rubbish them.

What I want is our current manager, already one of the worst managers in the history of the Premier League, to leave immediately.

We lose nothing if he goes because he is fucking dreadful.

 

This is all that needs to be said.

It cannot get any worse so why not try someone with a different approach and see what happens. 
 

For the first couple of months I was of the opinion that the squad was utterly shite and he was on a hiding to nothing. As the season has gone on it’s clear that there is some talent in this squad capable of winning games in this league. There’s still plenty of shit in the squad but there’s enough for a new manager to work with. 
 

Get whoever, I don’t care, just get this stubborn wanker out of my club.

I take it we've all noticed that we only look decent when Dibling takes on two or three players and forces our play up the pitch. Which isn't exactly part of the "patient passing moves opponents out of position" strategy.

Let's hope the club's knees don't buckle under tempting offers for Dibling and Fernandes in Jan as then we'd be really really fucked.

Seems likely we'll be all but relegated by late Jan so if big offers come in from clubs desperate to steal these two away SR might decide to sell.

Yep, that's the reality, and you can probably chuck KWP into that mix too, but hanging onto the slim hope of holding out until the summer.

Unfortunately they'll be lining up down Britannia Road for Dibling in Jan, fighting to get him before someone else does.

Exactly.  The class and natural ability of Dibling and Fernandes have diddley squat to do with the Manager’s “principles”, or coaching.  They are just precocious talents providing a clue to the style we need to play.    Without them we are threadbare.   Unwittingly, they are keeping Martin’s fragile reputation pulse  beating.

I’m not sure I understand your point?
 

Are you saying that maybe the “patient passing moves opponents out of position strategy” is evolving under this hapless unable to change Manager of ours? 😂

Or is it that Dibling is deliberately disobeying orders from Russell? 😂

On reflection how is it that three of our most recent goals we scored ( Archer v Arsenal, MF v Liverpool and Downes yesterday) have come from breaks and transition swift passing play? Have the team en masse decided to play differently to the slow boring useless passing way the Manager asks/ tells them? Some mutiny that is! 
 

I wonder which it is. Or maybe it’s just luck. Or coincidence. Could not be playing to instructions in an evolving system because RM is a useless stubborn unable to change or adapt manager as we all know. 😂😂😂

There are a small number of posters on here who become obsessed with other posters and feel the need to respond almost immediately, usually with a dig, at everything you post. These are apparently mature men with families. You have to wonder what their wives and children would make of their behaviour. I have acquired a few over the years. You get used to it eventually.

Hello again Trigger. Taken some time out from stalking the farmer?

Strange behaviour would be going back and reading very old posts when you join a forum just so you might be able to use them against someone sometime. Perhaps you do that? It wouldn’t surprise me.

But as it’s a crap day and the dog has given up on her walk, I will indulge you.

Exactly how many wars did Trump start when he was last in office? I don’t think it was an awful lot was it? Why then would I call him a warmonger? Talking of flip flopping, no one, properly not even Trump himself, knew what he was going to do from day to day. You can be a threat to world peace without being a warmonger. If I said that he was mad enough to press the red button, that is different from saying that he would actively go out and seek conflicts with other countries.

Anyway, I think that it is sweet of you to go in to bat for nic. Birds of a feather and all that. Of you pop and go and find loads of old posts to prove him right.

P.S. Joe Biden was the president when this thread started.

I am not the one who posts laughing emojis on posts about the innocent Palestinians being butchered in Gaza and the West Bank. You really need to look at yourself hypo. You can call me all the names under the sun, but anyone reading your posts over the years can see you for what you are.

You used to follow me around and respond to my every post within seconds and I am the troll? You really are a massive hypocrite.

What is respectful in posting that this will all go pear shaped in a few years time? You clearly have issues with it which is your right, but the majority of the people in this country want it, so as you told me with Brexit, accept that this is what the majority want.

However much RM tries to spin it, football will always be the same game - if you want to arrive at the opponent's area with a player advantage, at some point you have to beat one or more of their players. We're not succeeding at doing it by passing so the only times it happens for us is gonna be either when we break quickly or Dibling or Fernandes beat a couple of people.

Just read the Israel thread...Gazan women and children (5-9 year olds are the largest group of dead in Gaza) are expendable because they are Muslim apparently.

I’m not supporting his tactics in the slightest and hate the suicidal passing from the back as much as anyone, but the fact that Dibling and Fernandes do take people on seems to indicate that the plan isn’t just to pass the ball to death.

Shame that in most cases they get little or no support from the other players who are often still halfway up the pitch

I'm relatively new to forum's - I just can't believe how toxic some people are. I can imagine these people do it to take out their life's frustrations on those on t'internet.

You can see how some people grow to think they police the forum as they are allowed to use stalking tactics and intimidation that would be illegal in real life.

We made 3 very, very poor mistakes. We should have had at least a point, and we could have beaten them, for sure, if it weren't for the piss poor defensive mistakes we made.

Personally don’t think we ever looked like getting anything out of Liverpool even when leading in the second half..  we where playing dodgy suicuadal shit around the back line and struggling to get out of own half ..pretty sure Liverpool would have found ways to score no matter what with the way it was going 

[pimpin4rizeal]

Like I was saying in the pre Liverpool match thread the kinda results we have got last two games is not good for the bigger picture .. seems sports republic need us to get a proper spanking before they are gonna see the light of day .. so reasonable performances against Liverpool and Brighton just gives them something to cling onto with Martin.

ridicolous situation really honestly think fans should start boycotting games to get the message across
