Golac's Cunning Stunts

It wouldn't "ensure" anything as Swansea would still have to win. But it would make it more fun for me watching on Sky as I now know that Swansea will be trying hard :-). And even better if the other team vying for 10th place bunged a load of money to Swansea's opponents to get them to win

I can actually see some merit in this though. Kind of like having the play offs keeps things more interesting for more teams longer into the season.

Hitler gassing millions of Jews was abhorrent. This is merely "not really in the spirit of fair play"

Oh the wonders of hindsight. When George was appointed, I thought he would be great and he didn't do too shabbily first season. If it wasn't for Leon Best's mistakes in the play off semi, we might even have gone to the prem. After that, it was all down hill. If Leon really did what you say he did, the man should be lauded as a genius :-) It's funny how alcohol doesn't seem to have had the same affect on Sir Alex - still going strong at a fairly advanced age now.

Thought he was excellent against Man Utd the other week. Let's see how well he does against Villa.

Same here. Can't remember. Where are MLG's stats when you need them?

Admit it, you just went and looked that up on Wiki didn't you?

I hope he's right too. If we play as well as we did in that 30 min spell against United last home match, we could do very well. However, Villa have improved of late and the pressure will be on our lads big time. So if I was Villa manager, I'd tell my team to hang on in there and keep it close. 0-0 or 1-0 to Saints with 15 mins left will play into Villa hands and we'll really see how well the "new boys" can handle the pressure.

I think it will probably depend how well we are doing come Jan and where the obvious frailties appear to lie. I'm not even going to bother stating where they very obviously lie at the moment :-)

Out of interest, which ones do you think will finish below us?

TBF they looked total gash against Swansea, but I agree - 2 home wins out of two is a great start for them.

Did you never see some of Roy Keane's performances for Man U when he almost single handedly won them games? Remember that Juventus game? Would you have played better under him than a captain who merely turns up for the coin toss? I think you would. In fact, he was the perfect example of having the manager's right hand man on the pitch.

I smell fish

Makes no sense whatsoever.

To be fair MLG jizzes in his pants at quite a lot of things. Absolutely correct in what you say here. NC does not have relegation back to the Champs league factored into his plans. For a start, it isn't an easy league to get out of as we found out last time we were relegated there. People seem to assume that it will be easy to bounce straight back, well it won't be. It's probably easier to stay in the Prem in many ways.

Yeah Liverpool makes a lot more sense to me. Good old Arry coming to the rescue of the Scousers. Might even feel sorry for them when he starts saying things like "They just aren't good enough" and "They didn't play well". Can't wait.

Bearsy writes the funniest posts on here. Always insightful and packed with subtle little jokes.

If that's true then God help us all. Club will be back to where it was 6 years ago. All the good feeling and unity blown away in one stupid action. Still, I don't believe it. It can't be true..... can it?

Yes, sorry I meant the whole thread. Fair point you make though. I'm a pillock most of the time but I don't take it too seriously. No-one here gets out alive at the end of the day.

It's Seaborne and he is a L1 player at best.

Now that made oi laugh :-)

For me this post misses the point. I do appreciate being back in the Prem, I think NA has been a breath of fresh air, as has our approach to playing football. However, it is valid to discuss the fact that we have lost the 1st 4 games and are bottom without a point. If it continues, I can't see anything other than NC acting to dismiss him. It's not about throwing yourself off of a ledge because you are a doom monger, or saying "In Nigel I trust", it's about living in the real world. Look back at history and you will see it time and time again. It's unfortunate, but we really need to get some points up on the board and I really hope for Nige's sake that we do that quickly.

Dunno, Norwich had the same swift rise as we did and Swansea went up unfancied via the playoffs. I do think it is really unfortunate that we were given such a tough start. Now the pressure is on to produce some results. Hopefully we will do that and all this talk will go away.

I don't think he will last another 4 losses. I feel it in me bones.

By the way, I reckon Poyet has a bigger chance of being next manager than Saggy Face. That would make your Mong Board name quite ironic :-)
