saintscottofthenortham Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 Tall Paul looked fucking shite. But he only arrived in the country yesterday, and we were fucking shite, so I wasn't going to start labelling him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerspoon Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 It was another shocking display today. Players are alright but they haven’t got a clue where each other are and there’s no system. That’s on the manager 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 It's like having a car, keeps breaking down, unreliable, making you late for work. You have plenty of cash to get a new one, one that's in your price range and known to be not flash but reliable. Will get you from A to B no problem. But then you try to look clever, you buy a piece of junk with different colored panels and an exhaust the bilges thick black smoke from a one eyed meth addict called Colin. Imagine, if I manage to get that running and arrive early to work. Everyone will be so impressed. I'll get a shiny medal and an award at work! Anyone can buy a Toyota like Steve in accounting, but I'm built differently! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m genuinely curious, when people say this, whether it’s because they honestly think Ralph was underachieving with that squad or if six wins is not good enough because people just want better. If Sir Alex had a squad of Gasmi, Pekhart, Forecast, Davenport and Bernard in the Premier League, what would be an acceptable number of wins?

I didn't want to say it on the transfer thread, as everyone was soooo excited, but I thought he looked quite poor in his highlight videos and not a Prem player. If this game is anything to go by, he's barely a championship player. Can you get jet lag on the Eurostar? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our best chance of the game, when we had 15 minutes of momentum before he the twat took Lavia off, falls to Che. Open goal, keeper in no-man's-land... Che heads wide. We deserve everything we get. We've bought a one way ticket to the Football League. Why Walcott? He didn’t do anything wrong. Just fashionable to slag him off I guess.

Crab Lungs Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 I don’t want to say I’m starting to turn this week but the team selections are hopeless, compounded by some risqué recruitment and abject, weak displays… Ugh, not quite sure how it can be turned round, even with an elite manager in charge.

Yes I think Ralph underachieved, probably as a consequence of things going a bit stale. His team selections and tactics became increasingly bizarre; his reluctance to react to match situations and make timely tactical substitutions cost us time and again. If Sir Alex and Ralph had the same squad, containing those players, I would expect Fergie to strongly out perform Ralph. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
