No. You ****ed up and were totally wrong so you decided to commit to it, boring us to death with Hoddle, yo-yo strategy and 17th for 6+ years in the hope that one day you might be right.
mocked abused and ridiculed he was...
Makes me think of Bob Monkhouse, "they laughed when I said I wanted to become a comedian....well who's laughing now!".
MoPe didn't improve a single player, in fact he just about ruined most of them. There's a great player in there. **** players don't play and score for Italy.
Think we might see both of those improve under Hughes (if he stays). MoPe's tactics often left them exposed and if the instructions given to them was as clueless as those given to the mids then it's no wonder that they got out of position.
Do they? You really think they would put their careers on the line to lay down vs Swansea and get done for what amounts to match fixing?
These guys have egos, no way they want to be remembered as the chumps who laid down and lost due to a grudge.
There was 1996. We were 0-0 with Wimbledon at home and City were up against Liverpool and it was 2-2 (they'd fought back from 2-0 down). The last 10 minutes whereby a goal for Wimbledon or City would relegate us was absolute torture.
If I recall. City thought 2-2 was enough and were celebrating (due to the dramatic comeback) only to discover they'd gone down on goal difference.
The older ones were better but this was pretty good too.
But I'll never forget going to the City ground and watching saints climb off bottom spot after beating Stuart Pearce and Nottm Forest 3-1. The chanting of "Saints are staying up" outside the ground while all the Forest fans glumly accepted their fate will never leave me.
