Right? Right?? We’ve not had a collapse this hapless against a team of obviously inferior players. I’m not saying we’re good but if we were playing like Spurs have second half, against much better teams than us, we’d be on the wrong end of double figures.

Mitoma and Minteh easily as good as Johnson and Werner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs have just thrown away a 2-0 lead and come away with nothing, against an inferior team that Chelsea ripped to pieces last weekend. They played ridiculous football in the second half, let in 3 in 17 minutes and didn't even have a goal of their own to show for it. Yes, it was great for us neutrals but to be holding that up as a way we should be playing is just absurd. Go and have a look at the Spurs forum and see what their fans make of their 'hammer and tongue' football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Brentford have been scoring a bit, but I didn't realise how until I read this tongue in cheek football diary piece in The Guardian about how they'd also been losing: Quote Clearly something had to change and against Wolves, Brentford adopted a different approach, losing the pre-match coin-toss and waiting a full 75 seconds to score pretty much the same goal for the fourth game in a row. Send players forward, get the ball launched and then whack in a cross for whoever happens to be completely unmarked in the opposition penalty area to steer goalwards. Considering the first recorded game of association football was played in 1863, it seems amazing that nobody has ever thought of doing this before. And considering Brentford had scored early goals in their previous three games, prompting forensic dissections of their approach, it seems even more amazing that Gary O’Neil’s Wolves were so totally unprepared for this eventuality. What a brilliant idea! The difference with our approach is that unlike Wolves our opposition are fully prepared for when we cough up the ball in our own half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midfield_General Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 (edited) The most thin-skinned man on the planet, pathologically unable to take criticism or just ignore it, decides to become a football manager - a job where you basically very publicly take shit for a living. So strange. Now he's not our problem I find him utterly fascinating. I kind of want to draw them in the Cup at St Mary's just to see how he deals with it.

"noise" seems to be the in-thing at the moment. Isn't this what Martin bangs on about as well. How he "doesn't listen to it or let it affect him" despite clearly getting upset about it.

Yes, that's the reason. It's definitely nothing to do with the International football being played this weekend. Talking of which, it'll be nice to have a weekend where Saints don't lose.

Whatever has gone wrong in the game and that's usually a fair bit, he knows this will be the topic of the supporters' 'narrative'. I find his manner patronising on the subject of the fans opinions. As if he is patting us all on the head and humouring us because, of course, he knows better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
