Diego may be heading that way afterall after Argentina's WC campaign, i think they are not likely to qualify.

You cant add the failure of the D&G period to back up your case. They were bad results seperately and have no basis on GBs or NP's performance. The fact is GB's ratio was better and I do agree it is by a small amount. The last 7 league results under GB were Hull h 4-0 Cov a 1-1 Prest h 0-1 Colch a 1-1 Barns a 2-2 Wat h 0-3 Scun H 1-0 Not relegation form. At the time of his departure we were looking to the play offs not relegation. You also have to throw into the equation the statement that in jan we would have to sell all our players (Hoos statement) that caused a lot of uncertainty. GB has gone , he dropped us like many others. NP dide no wonders here but is at present doing very well as manger at Leicester.Not withstanding him being bankrolled by MM and a season in L1 with a squad that was very well equiped to do well with a couple of decent strikers. Still he has done well and IMO it is not about him anyway.

Alps you know that each post has to be debated accordingly. You made an insinuation that I believe is unfair.

So you are going to be £21 down

they seem to be preparing for the CCC and hope o bounce straight back

Thats correct.We havent seen Waigo play yet and perhaps expecting too much too soon.

St Marco im used to your sweeping statements and inaccuracies and so smile when I read them.Your first point of us playing in a lower league means nothing as TB and LM also have figures based on that .Add to that the quality of team we put out was better in higher leagues so you can only go by results. Please tell me how NP's ratio is as good the season they were both at the club? GB played 28 games 10 wins 5 draws 11 defeats NP played 13 games 3 wins 7 draws 3 defeats (not including Plymouth home his first game as manager) I cant see that as being anywhere near comparable. As for your assertion that fans from other clubs he has managed hate him is just nonsense. I know the Ipswich fans dont. IMO he left us and had no care in doing so, much like Hoddle Bally LM Souness and so he is no better than them, as they all left us to go onto a perceived better job.

You're not for real,.Your personality just can't accept being wrong. Insinuation is nastier than accusation, accusing somebody you are at least being honest in opinion, insinuation is cowardly

for a moment i thought I had typed that stuff.Lol Unlucky Saint Clark you are going to be £20 light in the pocket. If I was you I d hedge the bet by putting another 20 on spurs being beaten by Pompey as that is a sure fire bet.HR will do anything for them to be buddies again.

'As for the accusation, trying having a word with a few city centre taxi drivers when you have the chance, as I did when I came home recently..' Your quote. That is insinuation at worst.

You have won £20 Baj if it was mathmatical it would be won every week and DB would be the first winner.

Well if you make accusations it is best you have better than the word of a taxi driver's 2nd hand story.The concept of a national manager being p##### everynight and staggering all over the cities of the UK and not 1 person has of yet has been able to get a camera photo does not seem plausible.Big Foot has been photoed more times FFS. GB had a better points per game record than most other managers over a decent period of time. just because football judges like yourself dont think he did a good job doent mean he was a failure.You love wallowing in these things, your opinionwill not change and nor will mine. In the circumstances he did ok, there were lots of factors being played out behind the scenes and it was at a time when the club was still in awful turmoil.The fans still thought we were god given right to be in the PL and it has taken near on 5 years for many to accept that it has to be earn't. The squad had been thinned out and money was spent, RL was deposed and Gb was allowed to overspend, whose fault was that? I was thinking the other day about all the times in our first season down where we sang to the opposition 'you will never play here again' how right we were.Lol

So taxi drivers are the people to take the word of 100% not 1 of them had a mobile phone with a camera, and not in this time where you can sell such things they were all so saintly they didnt take advantage of the situation.Right. i have no doubt he liked a drink and would also get drunk, but all the stories have no basis apart from tittle tattle by people who wanted to harn his reputation.Shame on you and others for trying to hurt somebody just because you can't have your way.

Like RL and Corbett LC Askham and LM etc Im tired of arguing about these old personalities. The truth is he did not get Scotland to qualify, in his defence they showed real spirit and a will to win.They had their chances against a very good Dutch team and should have scored at least once.They went down fighting and they really do have a lack of talent to choose from.It will be interesting how the scottish media play this out.As for the claims of his nocturnal pursuits, well being a national manger and not 1 picture of him drunk in puublic just shows what a pathetic and sick bunch some people are by poiting that accusation at him. GB did ok while he was here under some trying circumstances.he stayed a lot longer with us than some of our fans.

Lol. Ah but how did they get the right one up in time?

shame he wasnt made to show at least 1 of the numbers beforehand. After the numbers came up he delayed things by writing them down in order on the board, that was when some electronic wizardry was done.

What a load of tosh, I have not said the Northam are better fans and definately not me as I dont even travel away. It is a case that the Chapel creates no noise or encouragement of note.Therefore it is sense to kick to that end 2nd half and not give the advantage to the away team where they are lifted by their support. We have an appalling home record and I look at other clubs to and notice they kick to theior fans 2nd half and the away sides obviously prefer to do so as they always attack their end 2nd half. It may be a nonsense theory but the old way hasn't worked has it?

I went there a few weeks ago.A lot of work going on.Felt a bit annoyed that you had to pay to go and see the exghibition,so didnt go in.The rest is just a building site

Can you tell us when you stopped going.Was that from 1997 onwards?

but Wotte did you see?

their last experiences of life must have been horrendous. People instantaneously combusting and melting in front of their eyes. I always will remember the picture of the man and woman hand in hand as they plummet to earth.

you've never mentioned that before what happened?

thats the problem I cant recall many games where we kicked to the northam 2nd half to see if there is a better % win rate when we do so. I do recall the many disasters where we didn't.

another thing that the people who took the calls may never forgive themselves for is they told those people to stay where they were and not try to get out.Perhaps there was no way out but it would have been worth trying.The images the people trapped saw must have been waful for them to jump rather than be consumed.

I do indeed sit in the northam, but your question of me shows you are indeed more worried that your second half entertainment may be effected than the team doing well. I want us to win and do well and so if it caused me a little inconveinience id be happy to fit in with that.Why are you so adamant that it may not be a factor? Kicking to the chapel has hardly brought us luck and so what have we to lose by trying something different, and giving the players a change.They ultimately decide what way they want it, but Im sure our opponents are pleased we miss a trick. The away side must choose to kick to their fans second half as we always do whoever wins the toss.Therefore we must be as a club in the minoirity not kicking to the more noisy fans second half. I have advocatred for the Northam to be moved to the Chapel to make 1 proper end where th4e fans get behind the team, and would happily move there if the rest would do so.
