Also said we’d spent nearly all of our history in the top flight, and also had a great cup record .

Coming from a bloke who thinks the coverage was “first class” 😂

Dear God 🤪

All that matters in the cup is winning. Solid professional performance, class told in the end. As or Swansea, they’re everything that’s wrong with modern football and managers. Fucking tippy tappy mincing football. Why does nearly every manager think they’re Pep. Some of their passing out from the back was wonderful, but once they got out they passed it so slow and negative that it was all for nothing. No width, no urgency, pass pass pass. Fucking get it in the mixer.

Don’t be so fucking stupid. Grow up. Anyway I’m done with arguing over Puel. His record is in the book in black and white. One of our best ever cup runs, decent final performance, (certainly better than WGS’ effort. Fuck me imagine the clog Puel would have taken had he set us up like Gordon did at Cardiff) and a 8th place finish. That’ll do for me, particularly after losing Mane, Pelle & VvD for half a season. I wouldn’t want him back and neither would you, so what’s the point in going over old ground. Over and out…..

Headless red card again, second game running. When are these brainless wonders going to realise when you’re on a red you need to be squeaky clean. Don’t give the ref the opportunity to show a red.

Finally, a ball playing centre half. 🤪

There’s an annoying bird though.

In the last 100 years only Ted, Lawrie, Chris Nichol, & Koeman have had a higher placed finish than Claude. In the same 100 year period only Lawrie & WGS have taken us to a major final.

How often did you watch away from home?

They get more than the standard deserves

In most cases the incumbent looks vulnerable when new owners come in, but in this case I reckon he’s pretty secure. He obviously can’t afford to produce some of the cluster fucks we witnessed the second half of last season, but I’d say he’s pretty safe. The takeover appears to have taken his main excuse away so let’s see how he does.

It was not. A few games towards the end were pretty boring, but worst since Nichol is complete & utter pony. It was a damn sight better than some of the pony second half of last season. Oh I forgot, it doesn’t count unless you were there and had coughed up the wedge. Plastic support if ever I’ve seen it.

Nope. You wouldn’t write “their monarch WAS only ever at arms length “, you’d write “their monarch IS only ever at arms length.

Complete and utter bollocks. You’re worse than a fucking glory hunting Man U fan. If you think that’s the worst since Chris Nichol you’re clearly clueless about all aspects of the game. It’s a sport, we’re a professional sports team, not the friggin Harlem Globetrotters.

What a ridiculous way to judge a season. It means a team relegated with 37 points have had a “better” season than a team staying up on 36 points the following year. That teams finishing 2nd & in some cases 3rd had a “better” season than Leicester did when they won the league and Arsenals invincibles had a worse season than Liverpool when they were only runners up. We were the 8th best team that season, and got to a cup final. If Ralph did that he’s fan boys will be building him a statue.

The most impressive thing about Brentford was the way they put blowing promotion out of their mind and came up the following year. Shows a mental toughness we could do with at our club. If this guy played a major role in imbedding that culture, it can only be a good thing.

Were Forster & McCarthy in nets?

Australia isn’t a republic. Their “constitutional apparatus “ is in fact a Constitutional monarchy, like………The UK.

If they get rid of the pony “we march on” mantra, they’ll do for me.

His managerial record is better than Xavi‘s, so on the Twar managerial spreadsheet he should have got the job.

Because Ole got the job on the back of his managerial record and not his playing career 🤪🤪 If Potter rocks up at OT this summer there’s going to me mayhem, Moyes couldn’t make it work and his record at Everton was far superior to Potters. I hope to god people like you aren’t running our club, if they are I’m in the Ralph cult. I dread to think who your replacement will be if he left, Ben Strevens probably.

Good point well made, which is exactly why I listed them in the post you replied to. Which clubs would swap their present manager for a bloke who you’re surprised isn’t at a top club? Excluding Norwich & Watford who are in the bottom 3? Everton fans probably would ,which just emphasises your lack of judgement when it comes to managers. The only fans that “might” want him, and support a club slightly bigger than Brighton, want to ditch the manager that has impressed you this season……🤪

Laughable. The supporters of every club you’ve named would be in uproar if Graham Potter was appointed instead of their present incumbent. Which clubs in the league would swap their manager for Graham Potter. Watford maybe, Everton (although Rafa’s impressed you), Norwich perhaps, who else would take Potter instead of the manager they’ve got. The thought that Manchester Utd would have him is delusional, it’s real life not a frigging computer game.
