Fair play Badger. You've provided a meaningful and useful contribution to this thread.

Amen. He may of took us down, but the man is in the top ten English managers of All-Time IMHO.

So you don't think those games would of panned out differently had we NOT taken an early lead and spent the rest of the game under pressure?

Everyone knows it's not only OK to concede then, it is obligatory.

Carrow Road is a VERY tough place to go, I'd of taken a point there before the season started. Fully expecting a loss.

At times he chose to shoot on his left foot when he'd of been better off shifting to his right or finding a team mate. Call it nitpicking all you like but he CAN be accused of being too selfish at times.

How did you keep Villa up? You have a soft spot for them or just being overly generous?

Fantastic talent but needs to work on his decision making in the final third at times IMO.

6 points and we're all but safe. 2 or less and we're all but down.

Got a point right there. Extends from what I was saying in my thread that we begin too quickly and expend far too much energy that we're knackered come the half hour mark.

Best news of the season, including if we stay up. There I said it.

except not so serious

Brilliant So true.

What a pleasant thing to say. You've made my day.

I too have a horrible feeling about this one and already said so. Them being desperate, wounded, etc. I'll start a "would you take a point now" thread closer to the day and see what the majority here think.

Tongue was in cheek mate, but due to the recent upheaval on here because of folks taking things I say too literally I fixed it.

I'd add hypochondriac and sotonjoe to that list. Some appaling posts between them. Have to agree that I like Alpine, negative yes but a true fan. Also others like Glasgow and Turkish may seem like trolls, but are genuinely nice blokes IMO.

Sorry disagree. Defenders must learn that when a gilt-edged goalscoring opportunity is presented, meaning they are greatly at fault, they can either pay the hefty price of conceding knowing they deserve it, or take the (depending on circumstances) much more lenient punishment of a red card + penalty.

This man thrives on abuse. The more we ignore him the better.

Sounded brilliant once we took the lead on my (sh!te) stream. Can understand the hangover though.

Not if QPR take a shock early lead which I have a strange feeling will happen.

sorry fixed my OP. Point still stands though.

sorry typo it was in fact 36. Wigan stay up on goal difference (I overestimated their victories since they seem to be resounding when they do win).

...we score inside the first 20 minutes, taking the lead 1-0. Six times it's happened this season, giving us the grand total of 2 points out of 18. Why is this? And do you think we'd be better off starting games slow and gradually building up as the first half wears on? Are we too quick off the blocks for our own good? Discuss. (City game excepted after remembering it)
