—Martin on his style of play, 2021.[76]

another huge opportunity to learn and grow. We will have some great moments. So proud of our players for believing in what we are doing, so much love and respect for them. So proud of Russell for sticking with it despite what you clueless lot say. Believe in what we are doing. Brighton are copying us, Pep is learning from us, We are getting plaudits from so many managers it's starting to click. Remember at Swansea how Martins team were poor before christmas but then clicked to narrowly miss out on the play offs. I think we'll see the same here and narrowly miss out on the champions league. The revolution has started.

Interesting comment on Hughes sacking at Bradford. Sound familiar? On 4 October 2023, Hughes was sacked as manager with Bradford sitting 18th in League Two.[186] It was felt by the Bradford City players that Hughes was trying to shoehorn Premier League tactics into the League Two side, and this ultimately contributed to the lack of success in his second season

he left under a cloud, there is no way he'd back back if we were still owned by Goa and the old leadership team, SR might not care about the history, pretty sure McCarthy is the only player left.

Been popular in Germany for a long time. Unfortunately for us Pep has made everyone think they can play like Man City and the possession based game is hipster with dozens of Pep wannabes trying and failing to copy it.

similar characters. An idealist approach, ideas guys which look great on a whiteboard but dont work in the real world

Martin: "We're going to do loads of little things to try and be better. It's always been a process. I do think the players and the team are getting better. We have to win a game, and we're going to try to at Villa Park tomorrow." Looking forward to tomorrow lads, lasses and those who identify as neither

Aren’t you forgetting the metrics of possession, so much love for the players, bravery and philosophy?

Yeah Goa came in summer of 2017 so had been here a year by then, he might have meant Kruger who was probably too busy with his five pledges to worry about potential signings. Didn't we spunk over £20m on Verstergaard too? A player Reed and WIlson wanted but the manager and coach said was shit, jesus wept.

This is about it as i see it, decent enough, not premier league probably but not at all suited for the system. You could say the same about half the squad to be fair.

it's funny to see so many players drip fed into the media supporting the manager, a very amusing PR piece.

We'll that depends on your perspective. Within religion there is also different interpretations of what the religion believes. One thing i will say is that the bible and i'm pretty sure the Quran also was not meant to have been taken literally.

Again you're making it all about you. It doesn't fucking matter what you or me think, Morsy has his views which i'd imagine have been with him from birth. If he wants to refuse to do something because it's against his belief then he's perfectly entitled to and it's not you or anyone elses place to judge that just because you might not approve of it.

the irony

Of course. No judgement here at all.

You know this might be part of the dynasty. Create a new brand of football which is seen as hipster which everyone copies which makes teams so shit it gives us a chance. Brighton are copying us, they were shite in the second half of our game and again last night. Pep has learnt from us, they've been shite since they played us. The Southampton disease might be more infectious than we hoped.

Except you dont though. You immediately judged his views as homophobic, backward and said it was unfortunate that he chose not to wear one. I suggest that your claims of respecting people rights to chose are just platitudes. You might say you do but in reality the fact is you quickly made this discussion about what you believe and that their views dont subscribe to yours. I suspect it wont be long before you're back to defending islam though when there another cause which you want to be see to support. This is the trouble with being Woke sunshine, when you have to chose between them life becomes quite tricky.

You don’t believe it but they do. It ain’t all about you why should people compromise for what you yourself said was just a phase we’re going though? Then like you are judging them

Yep I read it. you’re judging them for not wearing one by labelling his religion as backward and homophobic and saying it was unfortunate they chose not too. You’re not alone there are quite a few people the same, piously critical of others and what they should do. To hell with their own long held beliefs if it’s going against the current fashionable cause

I don’t like their negative energy. Another clubs fans not understanding the process.

Agreed. We’ve lost 11 games this season. 11 opportunities to learn. 11 opportunities for growth. That’s far more opportunities we’ve had than even our nearest relegations rivals. So proud of how much we’ve learnt and grown, so much love for these guys.
