Golac's Cunning Stunts

russell martin is not going to get us promoted is he?

Surely you know its a Rangers song? The official version is from a hymn I think, but the one sung on the terraces isn't too complimentary to the Pope

No way. Lallana was a key player, consistently good, a mainstay of the side, 13 goals from midfield that year too

To be fair, this lot could play together for 4 years and still wouldn’t be half as good as that team

instrumental in their goal. Has played well

why?

as an aside, i'm watching copenhagen v bayern. elyounoussi playing, who i just discovered scored in the last champs league game for them

I get you. However, it was refreshing to see a supposedly limited set of players doing simple things well and the result being something greater than the sum of the parts if you get what I mean.

It’s a shame because I think on the whole winning teams keep winning and losing teams keep losing. After the first 4 games I really thought if we got a couple more wins that would be it - we’d be winning more than not. That’s where Leicester are now. They will go up automatically. can understand fans being fucked off when we are losing so so easily. The window where we have financial advantage in this league is short. We really need not to waste it. As an aside, I was in Bristol this weekend and went to rovers v Wigan. It was very enjoyable. Lively crowd, Rovers have a solid team and it was enjoyable football to watch. I’d be happy with that as a saints fan - players who want to do their best, enjoyable football, and a laugh on a Saturday afternoon. pps Wigan we’re awful. I had a bit of empathy for their travelling fans

Has anybody told Leicester they are supposed to be in a transitional year?

I mean, it's like saying we were unlucky because the oppo went down to 10 men. Who would say such a thing 🙂

anyone starting to think we need another league one on minus 10 before we get the reset the club obviously needs?

But surely a good manager is absolutely crucial to turning round a losing mentality and installing a winning one? So, for example, a manager comes in, sees that morale is low, and initially sets up the team to be hard to beat? stop leaking goals, do the fundamentals correctly etc? Not implement some apparently genius system that only the liikes of Man City can actuallyimplement?

I think the managers and systems we have employed have played a large part in our demise. However, would be more than interested in your thoughts on this... what do you think the problems are?

It's pretty obvious we are not currently a serious football club

I listen to that on walks too. Perhaps we should send the link to Martin

fuck russell martin and sports direct as a starter for 10

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?
