Ahh sorry, thought that you were talking about your performance Sat

Is that achievable ?

Great game this, not one for football purists, but decent nonetheless

They have all been fantastic signings, we dumped 12m on Ramirez (fwiw I still think it will end up worth it but he probably wasnt needed at the time) when we could have used that to grab almost 2 bentekes or 4 Michu's I am sure there are more like them out there, young and hungry, lets hope this year of scouting has upturned some gems

Lets see TF offer harry another 30m to chuck down the drain (of which he will obviously oblige) and then finally HR will leave in time for yet another new manager to come in, bemoan NW, MH and HR's signings only to be given 30m to spunk on players...... You get the picture, TF and QPR represent everything thats wrong in football

Dont get me wrong, I love both of those two, our midfield is so much better with them there. For me at any level it is noticeable having a midfielder that can break up play. But we are looking to improve, you dont do that buying back up, and so should someone be available to replace either I would. Kraken, I agree completely, but looking at the likes of Benteke, Lukaku and Michu it shows what top top strikers can achieve. You are right though, Lukaku was completely unplayeable on Sat

What with the impending financial restrictions and Citys undoubted belief that to become champions again they need to spend it wouldnt surprise me if the fringe of Rodwell, Sinclair and Lescott leave be it free or on loan with subsidised wages. Id also take any of those three if we have the chance

Personally Id like us to sign A topclass CB to replace one of our current bunch A top class holding midfielder to replace Cork or Morgs A top class winger to replace Punch or Lallana A top class striker to replace Lambert Thus providing competition and improving the team

Good luck to the lad, possibly not good enough for us but is a decent lad by all accounts and hopefully will find a home at Coventry

This Im certainly not saying that we are definately top 10 contenders, we are not, in fact I wouldhave torn your arm off had you offered me 17th. But to say we were poor in the TW is nonsense. We are in the hangover of a v bad game, Clyne, Yoshi and Shaw are easilycapable IMO, especially when Cork and Morgan are fit and firing in front of them. My point is still calid that Alps spouts this crap every TW and is consistantly proven to be thefool hereally is. I stand by what I have said all along that he is the most accomplished troll on here

I think the reason they get thrown in your face is that you repeat ad infinitum your point that eventually ends up being completely wrong and makes you look a little silly. What exactly do you have to do thats better ? Except obviously lurking around until we lose a game ?

If you would like to point me in the direction of the comment where I said Fox is up to standard Id be more then greatful. And yes, the kettle is indeed black

Imust admit Alps, you certainly know what your on about in this area, and some may question the impact of such a thread this early on however looking through history it is clear you have an unquestionable awareness of our exact needs and failings that have been fully justified over the years; 09/10 - Our transfer business was an utter shambles, we were so far off te mark that we managed to win the JPT and just miss out on promotion despite the -10 10/11 - well, we didnt learn from our mistakes did we ? Unfortunately a poor season had us only managing promotion to the NPC 11/12 - Just as terrible, despite the set up, the past two years failings we were woefully short again, this season was a train wreck, summed up entirely by a lack of action in the TW found us unfortunately just managing to miss out on winning the league and automatic promotion 12/13 - Another year of abject failure, many of us questioned why a professional outfit would ignore such astute advice from our mountain dwelling footballing veteran however advice again was ignored. An absolute terrible transfer policy saw us pick up such failures as Clyne, J Rod, Boruc & Davis who only conspired to unfortunately keep us in the prem .... I think your right Alps, history speaks volumes and your pedigree is there for all to see

He should never have said as much in public, still goes back to keeping your stock high no matter what I suppose. Even as a fan I woukdnt have taken the job back then though, I used to know staff and people close to the board back then, it really wasnt good. Nice to see Nige changing his LB again today, puts a smile on my face

Didnt he say in the press he gave everything in his career, ran through so many barriers etc ? Really Audley ? Do you actually believe that ? Top level sport is 70% mental strength, and he lacked it

Yeah, he plays decent football, and to be honest he isnt IMO as bad a manager as we make out (though not as good as the media believe) but his constant, keeping his stock high media soundbites is starting to grate. Fwiw I am pretty ambivilant too him, I certainly dont hate him, nor do I love him. He made a mistake coming to Saints at the time, we were doomed, much like QPR FWIW I heard in a few coridoors that Harry regreted taking the QPR job after a week, such was the mess they were in.

He hasnt exactly been worth the 100k a week and a boatload of Um Bongo though has he bless him

He was crap ?

I detest that man First it was Warnock, then it was Hughes, then Redknapp. If 'Arry leaves, who will be next to fill the club with overpaid dross. Being fair, Harry made a mistake, if you put your ear to the ground players were openly at war with each other over wages, some lazy on the training pitch etc That and a lack of form and then yet more dross. He didnt have a chance.

Reading going through a spell ATM Both carp

From what I have seen they are, by far have the better players, they just have not reallu gelled v well. Reading look like an NPC team in all but name, last chance saloon defending caused by the ball no sticking upfront and a midfield that cant compete. They are lucky that QPR are just as poor with the final ball. For me QPR look better but neither are much cop.

Ask him is spiderman would ever consider playing for England

Take it you mean Ramirez ? And whilst I agree with what you said it was definately a red card, he swing his elbow at him, may have been forearm

We certainly have our share of trolls, you know it as do I, and yes we have positive ones and negative ones. For me a troll is someone of whom I dont necessarily believes what they say but will say it again and again and again in order to attempt to drag people into an arguement. As per what I said in my post you qouted, I dont think it is unfair to assume that one bad game doesnt make good players bad or a manager that seems to have worked out an effective way of playing clueless ? Did you actually read the post ?
