They've not been called that for years but that's beside the point. I want a manager who can win cup finals, not just get us there. You can't credit him for getting us to the EFL Final without also offsetting it by chucking the FA Cup in the 4th round.

I was playing with words. You could say that our style of play is to play without style.

West Ham The subs don't help. Changing two players like for like on 60 minutes disrupts the team.
-
Wenger for us and Puel for them?
-
Try MOTD on catchup.

I listed what we didn't do. You might like to describe what we do as a style but there's no style in it.
-
I neither boo nor criticise those who do. I'm normally asleep or watching the clouds or seagulls anyway. There was even a pigeon yesterday
-
There you have it. It's not working very well is it?
-
Two away games to start with please. I am away until 23rd August and wouldn't want to miss any home games. Oh, hang on a minute.

I can only speak for myself:)

Grossly incorrect Where have I advocated hoofball? We just don't attack in numbers and are much too slow in moving the ball forward. With our team of short players that of necessity has to be along the ground and we lose the extra dimension of balls in the air. We lose to a lot of headers and we don't score many ourselves.

No, the big nobs are all in the Kingsland.
-
Er... Bournemouth for a start.
-
Clear style? Would that be keep possession at all costs and don't do anything adventurous that might support the lone striker? Basically, keep it tight and try to hit them on the break.
-
This is a big issue for me. The players spend the first hour of each game trying to sort out who should be where and having to explain to each other why they should have been on the end of a pass that went nowhere. It shouldn't be like this after a season in charge.
-
No, of course I didn't. But I respect the right of others to voice their displeasure, as well as their right to sing and cheer in support. You pay your money and you make your voice. 'Worse season than ours'? It's not only about league position.

Cretins complaining about those who choose to boo... go to another club

SWEEPSTAKE ALERT - Puel departure announcement timing - all welcome

With you? At least you get to score.

They look like they've never played together before. I think it's down to the squad rotation and poor man management. If it's true that he only announces the team to the players at kickoff then that's no surprise.

There are six teams all within two points of each other. We only have 46 points and a goal difference of -7 and as has been pointed out earlier, 4 wins out of the last 18 games. Do you really think we are making progress? On top of that the football has been dire and each goal that I have seen has cost me over £122. The home cup games were even worse than the league games. I think it's fair to ask for some entertainment for a vast outlay of money. Otherwise if all you care about is league position you might as we watch the games on Teletext.
