And football existed before the premier even though it might seem to a lot that it didn't or dont our league positions before 1993 matter any more?

You didn't measure it over 22 games though. You measured adkins last 6 against MP's first 6 in your original point. Measuring how way we've played is not just about shots at goal is it. It's posession, chances created, goals scored, points picked up. Against QPR we had 25 or so shots at goal but in reality only two or three real chances and played fairly poorly. Still, keep it up, your back tracking and changing your arguement every post is hilarious.

Oh that's right football only started in 1992 didn't it.

why are you going on about points now? Your whole arguement that we were playing "much better" on the original thread was that despite having less points than we had in the same amount of fixtures under adkins we had had more shots at goal. Now you're backtracking because it's been exposed as a load of nonsense and saying points and wins do matter. :lol:

It a FACT from your stats that the team which has most shots at goal wins less than 50% of the games they are involved in. Meaning having most shots at goal means little. Which renders your little crusade a load of bo llocks. call me a traditionalist but i tend to measure how good a team is by how many they score, how often they win and how many points they have.

Hang on a minute, on the one hand you are saying we were playing "much better" because we were having more shots at goal and points dont mean anything, but you say that the team that does this usually wins. Then when you proved yourself that this isn't the case now all of a sudden points do matter as a guage to performances as we should bite the hand off if we are offered 65 points in a season. Which is it? You've proven yourelf that the team that has most shots at goal dont win most times. Your arguement has more holes than a bag of hula hoops.

He was quality for me at Burnley too. I sold him after my first champions league win and brought a russian forward called Ali Seminov who was quality. This was in about 2019 though So Jay was getting close to 30, good time to sell.

are you saying we are bigger and have more match going fans than Chelsea then?

maybe......

It seems there was some truth in them NickG. Care to comment on the attention seeking ******** which turned out to be bang on?

Care to comment MLG?

that is stupid.

MLG is right. When i took Burnley from the championship to consecutive champions league winners on FM12 with a team packed full of internationals playing good football, winning stuff and a positve feel about the place our attendances went from 13,000 to 22,000 then when i extended the stadium up to 30000 in 2017 we were selling that out too week in week out. If Burnley can do it with their tiny catchment area then i'm sure we can go on to even greater things.

Why was it stupid?

Fair enough. So at what point did he stop being the new Alex Ferguson and become this clueless clown who was out of his depth?

Thanks Tokes, it's quite funny looking back at how often i am right but sneered at and told i am wrong by the geniuses on here.

Not quite, I'm sure i will be told i am wrong but someone else was offered the job first and declined it, right after the Sunderland game in fact. It's also a FACT MP had the job weeks before he was officially appointed. MP admitted as much himself when he said he had been watching the team for a while.

I'm not exagerating my point. There were plenty of references to Alex Ferguson and Manchester United everytime it was mentioned Adkins could be sacked, in fact it didnt seem like a thread was complete without one, such was the support behind the man. There was also plenty of people claiming he was our greatest every manager. Not me you understand, i thought Nige was a top man and a competent manager, not brilliant but by no means out of his depth like some are making him out to be. People were indignant that Adkins should be kept on even if relegated, now it seems most people are glad he has been replaced.

Remember this thread that was sneered at and described as stupid. Well blow me down it turned out only a few weeks later Cortese was actively looking for replacements for him.

Is it true you were going to hand in a transfer request in NA was still manger in the summer?

So at what point in the last couple of months did Adkins stop being the new Alex Ferguson and the best manager we've ever had? It's seems every single person has said they'd rather have Pochettino and Adkins appears to be some backward bumpkin out of his depth who made huge errors every week.

These things really are sh*t, such lame questions.

And then when we got one it was one of those that you had to put 50p in the back of to make it work.

Nothing wrong with Boyzone FFS.

Don't look for my approval to your judgement, I like Frys posts. I'm glad to see the ever increasing use of the word 'mongboard' though, a gift I gave to you all about 9 months ago and appears to now have entered everyday language on here, which pleases me.
