Golac's Cunning Stunts

I thought getting relegated would be what was needed to burn everything down so the Phoenix could rise from the ashes. I'm starting to think another relegation might be required before that starts happening... just like last time

look no further than sports direct and russell martin

he is no football player either

Worryingly, he seems wedded to his martinball tactics. He has too much hubris to consider a rethink.

He already is getting pummelled! Some boxers will improve and learn from mistakes. There is no sign this guy will. He didn’t at Swansea. He said the Sunderland mistakes wouldn’t be made again but they were in the very next game. Even more worrying, this time round he says the players did exactly what he asked them to do. Massive red flags that he is turning into mad Nate 2.0

Vestergaard has the turning circle of a supertanker but didn't matter tonight because as you say, we never once even thought to test him

It is a back 2. But we're so superior to other teams in the league, our other 8 can just concentrate on attacking apparently

Even get a dream team of ralph, mad nate 1.0 and mad nate 2.0?

gruesome performance tonight

I haven't seen a worse defensive performance since the Sunderland game

Well duh for you making such an obvious statement - not even worth a consideration

Sorry, but no. He should be coming out and apologising to the fans, not saying we are naive in not expecting to concede 9 fricking goals in 2 games

Needs to go now. Clueless chancer. Won't change. It is now 3 v Gills, 4 v Norwich, 5 v sunderland, 4 v leicester. That needs the sack

If he's not careful he is going to be funding a whole bunch of substandard managers tending their gradens for the next 5 years

Horrible reminders of when mad nate had the whole world cup to get things right and first game back you realise it is all going to be one long disaster

Makes absolutely no difference, We were shit and deserved what we got - infact lucky it was only 4

He will learn from it and it won't ever happen again

Change the name of this thread to Russell Martin Out please

At least he can say he has learnt from the 5-0 drubbing then. Improvement and all that

They are both Premier league teams. We are shitting 4 or 5 goals for fun in the championship.

Lets get the MARTIN OUT thread started lads. Complete fucking embarrassment

he's just gonna detest anybody critiising the mighty sports direct

Not sure why you're getting upset. It's a legacy that good old Ralph has left us with for years to come

Does that mean he is exempt from criticism from letting in goals he really should have saved? Ederson would let more goals in if he was Saints goalie for sure, but I wager a lot less than Baz has
