Legod Third Coming

But this game proves what nonsense the idea that fans' attitude changes games is. First half we sung our hearts out and could not hit a barn door with a banjo. Second half we gave away two goals. The fans went mental and it was only AFTER they went mental that we pulled one back!!!!!

Agreed 100%. Slating the board and manager on here are one thing. You cannot fault some of our young lads for their effort. They are too young and inexperienced to be expected to save a football club. Most of the nippers have hardly kicked a ball in anger before this season!!

No he didn't at all. And while the support at Readig was good, what was wrong with the support at Burnley? Or QPR?? Or any of the other hundreds of f u c k i n g football games he and that other clown managed to conspire to chuck away??

"We beat Reading because the fans supported us so well" says our new coach. Which explains why we have won so regularly when 18,000 of us turn up in Southampton and sing our frickin' hearts out... oh... Usual blarney from the OS, but does know one there ever learn??? And I think we can now officially fire him and simply sing louder and see results improve. Which will also improve the finances.

lol - keep your accusations about Himalya Saint to yourself...

The no money is a red herring. When you have little money you have a choice. You PRIORITISE. That means you need to understand that the order of importance in a football club is: BEST MANAGER Available for the money BEST players available to the manager at his choosing within the budget. Whatever your club, whatever the size, that model works. Over and over and over again.

Can you name a relatively succesful manager who most fans were alive and can recall?? WGS... and then... Oh, and if you're referring to GB, I seem to recall Scotland came calling rather than any hounding!!

Exactly!! You can't want to challenge Liverpool but not give your manager sufficient ammunition. Plus ca change eh?

£250 and I'm in.

lol very droll

Ah but Lawrie failed first, that's what everyone forgets. Aliderceh took Bolton down first, Curbs took Charlton down first - CN was doing ok I thought. We were playing bloody good football that much I do remember. Bit too open sometimes but good stuff.

I still wouldn't swap it. If you get kicked in the goolies for 40 years and then have a day off, that day off is like Jesus came down and carried you off for a beer with him, Elvis, John Lennon, JFK, Marilyn and Churchill and then let you sit around paradise for an afternoon shooting the breeze and basically living like a Lord. That's how wins feel these days.

Funny though in't it. We were seventh and they fired him because we were 'underachieving'... Bugger me.

Be sensible. You think managers think the fans dictate results and reaction or vice versa??

Pearson was a known quantity that people feared could not do the job. He succeeded by the skin of his teeth and the failure of Leicester City and Coventry to hit a barn door with a banjo. Despite such lowly success we welcomed and embraced him!! That's how fecking low our standards are mate!!!! Few people wanted him - of course! When the alternative was a Billy Davies with a proven record what do you expect?? Why should we give unproven managers a chance??? I could have a go on that basis. The point about Wotte is HE'S HAD a BLOODY CHANCE. He's been here for -19 goal difference and 1 home win. What do you expect him to do???

They should be shot.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. We supported Souness. We supported Jones. We supported Hoddle. Some of us even wanted Gray to get a bit more time. We allowed Strachan to win us over. We couldn't believe Lowe fired Sturrock... Then appointed Wigley. We rejoiced at Redknapp (bad call). Thought Burley was a decent effort. (Wanted Dodd and Gorman to succeed). Wanted Pearson to STAY. Thought Poortvliet was high risk but gave him time. And now cannot believe the bloke who came in with Poortvliet as heralded by THE CHAIRMAN as part of AN INNOVATIVE COACHING MODEL which was trumpeted as the reason players were coming here in their droves... has been appointed. This is not about time or class war or any of the other guff you'll claim. This is about appointing a failure behind a failed system and expecting success. Tell me - we are now second bottom of The Championship after 27 years of top-flight football having won ONE FIRKING GAME all season at home. When exactly might we consider that the current approach is wrong??? I'm all ears genuis.

Yes, that's what all managers like Billy Davies do, they have a look on internet forums and if they find people moaning about the club, they go and manage a fruit farm in Brazil... Hello? Despite the growing population there is still space on earth for another resident when you're ready...

1. I NEVER do anything but support my players in the ground. Thanks for asking. 2. Wotte was heralded as part of a DUTCH DUO. Not be me, but by the club and its chairman. So how you can claim he was not responsible for our current position is quite mind boggling. I haven't claimed that Lowe is calling the shots. Others have and I have to say that HE has set both the pattern and strategy so to me it is no surprise what we see unfolding. 3. This idea that supporting a regime is in anyway a contributoty factor in its success or failure is bonkers. It's like water in a puddle claiming success that it fits perfectly the hole into which it has collected, or a flea claiming ownership of a dog. Wotte will either fail or succeed regardless of whether I castigate or congratulate him on the internet. So far, he's failing miserably. 4. The goal difference got from -18 to -19 over the past three games. But ignore that, the failure to win the last three games - losing the last one against 10 men, 60 second after snatching an equaliser - and yes, things are really looking up... PS: In case you don't get it, I will go on supporting my club through thin and thinner. It doesn't excuse incompetence at every management level throughout the club, including the arrogant twonk who currently occupies the head coach seat... My money's on him being gone before April and us being in League One next season.

As a bloke I liked Jan immensely. But that's like asking who you would prefer to be castrated by.

How did he make his money? How did Lowe? Is Lowe the CO-OP of football chairmen? Are we an 'ethical' club?? Would I want a gun-runner running my club? Not ideally. But as least gun-runners are honest about how many people are killed as part of what they do. I wonder how many Arabs got their oil fair and square? How many Russians got their cash legit? How many bankers??

2 points, minus 19 goal difference. Yep. Are you that woman in the labour party who said she could see green shoots of economic recovery?

Magnificent. Two truths of life: 1. You can't beat them, so firk 'em or join 'em! 2. Whoever you vote for, the same lunatics get elected.

We were the firking REAL MADRID of this league last season!!! And the season before... The problem with this club is that it cannot cope with expectation. That is the thinking of losers. Which for 12 years bar a brief spell under the Ginger Whinger, is what we have been. That is an inarguable proof.

No we shouldn't support Wotte. Should we support any old Dutchman who is handed the job?? As for we were unlucky - listen to yourselves. Just listen. We did everything but score?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did everything today but roger Cameron Diaz... Jees. Welcome to League One. We had Morecambe and Wise. Now Eric's buggered off we're left with the straight man. And guess what? No-one is bloody laughing. You think what? If we support Wotte, somehow he will miraculously turn into a manager with experience of this division?? Against 10 men, we still conceded within one minute of scoring. Farcical. Totally. Was I there? No. Which of course means we were unlucky and not incompetent under an incompetent coach. As for longevity of managers. RED HERRING. Otherwise let's give the job to Harry Patch. Football MANAGEMENT is about competence and fitness for purpose. I haven't written him off after 3 games. I've written him of because he FAILED before he sat in the seat - cos he WAS PART OF THE GOLDEN DUO who dumped us in this position.
