  1. I dont think we can mock that after Saturday!
  2. If we kept Puel we'd still be competing for Europe, I still believe that sacking was the start of where we are. We followed him with a couple of appalling appointments before Ralph came in. I used to go to games thinking we will win today, in the last 2-3 seasons when do we go to games with the confidence we will win??? It is a long gone feeling.
  3. I dont think Jones was the right choice but he may have got more fight. At the end of the day Ralph had run his course. I saw on Twitter someone had put a chart of the last half of last season and this seasons results, it was incredible the amount of L's. It was hopeless and Ings goals the season before may well have been the reason we arent where we are now sooner.
  4. I dont get the part where you say he did well keeping us up. That was his job, he should have demanded a forward. Telling the club and squad that he was retiring was stupid as well. As happened with Strachan as soon as he stated that there was a falloff by the players. If Jones had stayed I think we would have had more points, but that means nothing as well. One thing is for certain Selles had 15 games and his negative and stubborn managing the team selection cost us dearly
  5. All this about the fans not giving it to them. Frankly the stuffing has been knocked out of for 18 months of absolute depressing football. No hope, no entertainment.
  6. Just sick of the told you so idiots
  7. When the players stood looking at the fans the other night doing nothing, I didnt realise they were practising for todays game
  8. Oh ffs dont bring that clown into our thoughts
  9. Other teams are under instruction not to fould near his range, there again if you dont get near the area then it doesnt matter
  10. Iam not watching just reading on here (lol) and sky sports, seems we are not even going for it. I really thought we'd be at their throats rather than limply going through the motions
  11. If the club give us Selles after this season they dont deserve fans. Could he leave and take Ralphs playbook with him
  12. How much more humiliation does this squad are going to put us through. Imagine Salah and co enjoying their day out here for the last game

    To be fair KDB brain is a lot quicker than most football people, hence he makes up his lack of pace with brain power. I am certain that NJ was not the answer but he may have got a few more points than Selles. Whose 2 wins were down to Chelsea and Leicester being profligate in front of goal. They should both have won by a mile. All IMHO of course
  14. Fair point but lower leagues less away fans, it must be some of our problem where we cant make the ground hostile for away teams?. If Carlsberg did easy wins and great away experience then SMS is the place.

    Fair point Whitey but he has now back to fitness been one of our standouts. Ironically his mistake against Wolves helped Jones lose his job. (although he was gone then already as the fans had totally lost faith)
  16. Appalling record, I firmly believe we will never make SMS a fortress, as we have to give our home advantage away by giving the away fans a prime position to nullify our home support. Is there another ground in the country where this happens???

    Jones just irked fans with his comments. Tried to justify himself instead of saying 'I know I not your first choice, but I really want us to succeed' Most fans would have given him the chance, but no he had to go and say' he was the best in Europe' Why our media team let him carry on doing those car crash interviews is beyond me.. A couple of decent extra results he may have been ok. He was the one who made the decision to bring Jan back, who has been very good. If he had kept his mouth shut he may well have turned things around as like Dyche he would have made us more resilient. We really needed the get at them approach. Sadly the players gave up especially during the Forest home game and he was done. He was not my choice by a long way but I did like the thought we would at last have some grit to our play.

    Iam a bit concerned as mad as it may be that, he is 3rd favourite for the job and the way he is talking and says he is evaluating how things have gone he may be still here next season. It is The Madness of King Ankerson that he may well do something like this!!!!!

    Ralph was forever barking instructions, seems we have a load of players who are like performing seals
  20. Baz is young and will improve. It was criminal leaving him in the side so long. His confidence was shot and the defence didnt help. I may be very old fashioned but how about a goalkeeper keeping the ball out of the net and defenders clearing the ball. It just seems odd that, Man City decided to play across the back and then it seems all clubs want to do it. Our players in the main are not comfortable on the ball and so why put them under extra pressure.
  21. If Harry says it, it must be true. SAS ffs. There are always helicopters when we play them.
  22. Convenient that most of the ban is during the summer months, lol. So a half hearted ban rather than say a year
  23. DVD is out next week
  24. when we went down in 74 Man Utd came with us, they only stayed down a season. They took thousands to away games without tickets. when they came to the Dell there was just a pocket of Saints fans in the Milton. It was bedlam
  25. I think Selles takes more time selecting his suit than selecting a team
