  1. YouTube wouldn't host the follow up A&E video showing where they removed his microphone from, but it would have made you smile. 🙂
  2. Fight and Win!
  3. Expecting award winning French restaurants to have coaching badges is asking a lot. Oh wait... the Sunderland manager? Right. I knew that. Like Will, hits my criteria of managing in a top 5 league. Like Will, he's also done it for more than one season. The first ended up with an improved position. The second got them relegated. However, the Strachan clause is then activated, at least to see the circumstances.
  4. Ah, c'mon @Paul Chuckle, it's important to give support and focus on the positives, now he's here. I didn't once let slip about the picture from Johannes Spors' meeting. "And should Mr. Still prove to be as short-lived as the rest of our managerial appointments, we have a brighter, younger coach in the wings... ...well, it will be the hospital wings during his birth. But he'll be a top coach!"
  5. Sadly, that doesn't stop the threads we're reading ruined by you digging holes based on being factually incorrect, logically flawed, missing the point entirely or often trying any excuse to defend any of the previous points. What might be better is that you put everyone you go off in the huff against on ignore. That way, if the original poster is not on that list, you get to have your trademark response. But you won't see posters demolishing your position. Therefore, you won't spend a dozen posts ruining the thread, trying to defend your nonsense, and it can move on far more quickly. Since there's "no excuse not to" put people on ignore, why don't you give that a go? You can convince yourself every point you make is a winner, and we get the golden peace that the year of The Great Huff, gave us.
  6. Meets the most important of the basic criteria. Has managed in a top 5 league, leaving the club in a better place than when he started. Will has also done this with multiple clubs in a top 5 league. He has moved around a bit, but the circumstances have been varied. While UEFA stats put the Belgian League at 8th, Opta have it in their league strength at 6th to 7th. His spell there went well. While he seems surprised the phone rings the second he's available, it shows how highly rated he's been in those countries. Tactically adaptable, and considers being a high performance manager as a winning manager. Music to our ears (even if some of the formations are 3 at the back). His coaching and communication skills are highly regarded. He is coming into a side weaker in almost every position since SR took over. It's a side that's also weaker than the one that was promoted under Martin. As much is riding on SR finally deciding on their goal, and recruiting accordingly. Despite their investment, every manager so far has been limited by SR failing to get key targets over the line.
  7. Still here? Will out! Just to get that out of the way. 🙂
  8. I recently saw some posts from 2012, and the word "bellend" was regularly used in relation to MLG. And those posts referred to earlier events. So, not sure about that one. I agree that more and more flies over his head, and the holes he digs are more desperate. His carer has reduced him to having the two buttons, "bullshit" and "strawman" to add to posts too.
  9. 1) As pointed out by several, there were far better ways to have communicated the same thing. But you went with a class defense of it. 2) You've been caught at this so often, your defence of it is infantile. Twice within the space of a few weeks recently. 3) No one else has issues, except yourself. Yet you were the one to give a list of several names. Perhaps you could put allmof them on ignore? Oh, and a few posters pretty much asked to be added, the following week, to be spared from your thread derailments. It's a bit pathetic not to take the views of a number of people into account, about how you post. Oddly, you are the first to go into huffs and hiding when challenged. It clearly affects you here. Just not enough for you to avoid endlessly repeating your behaviour.
  10. While @Matthew Le God is here thinking on trousers (no, not Spors'), any chance of you replying to this... It was posted shortly after you were defending posting a video concerning a convicted paedophile, and a bit after your meltdown asking several people to put you on ignore, and getting caught editing posts to change their context.
  11. The only doubt is the extent of SOG's lack of self awareness. Sadly, no doubt at all about his anti semitism.
  12. A spot on assessment of his day.
  13. If anyone in our family is feeling poorly, they get a Commando comic. It's tradition. Remember your Commando Comics Codex: Established officers will get their men killed through arrogance and bloody-mindedness. Sgts are the salt of the earth. They will bring young officers through, often getting killed as a final lesson in passing the torch. Young officers are morally better than their older counterparts, despite the class system boosting them into positions where it takes lower ranks to keep them alive.
  14. Gah! More scoops than a successful ice cream parlour!
  15. I have been called many things, but being called a "sit" is a low shot. I mean, you couldn't even be bothered to put all the letters in. That hurts. 🙂
  16. Gah! Now Weston is Scoop King! 🙂
  17. Scooped again MLG. Not your day. 🙂
  18. Whew! You ran out of "optimistic" I thought I was going to struggle with that one,after all the recent still willing will still to still join posts. 🙂
  19. When Hamer went off and our BBD came on, things began to go wrong, as they lost their creativity. Other than give the ball away BBD did little before going off himself.
  20. That would have been the week after the battle. This post was brought to you by ACME's "cheeky git" range of replies. 😀
  21. If it keeps him from posting, I consider it a bonus for the forum. 😃 When he comes back, just say you edited it away so as not to seem too prescient. MLG edits his posts regularly for all sorts of reasons, so there will be no come back. 🙂 Oh, and congratulations again, "scoop"!
  22. But did he make it into MLG's "one to watch" club guide categories? 🙂
  23. Back in 2022, you definitely used the words "will" and "still" in the same post. That makes you ITK and the first to break the story.
