RoyalBlueVictor Meldrewgenome Anyway, can we talk about how fcuking hilarious it was when Gunter thundered that ball into the Brum player's bollocks?
It was probably the best thing I've seen all season.
That just about sums Gunter up-dead 'ard when he is 40 yards away and when he wellied the ball into the crowd after the game.
It's a shame that he doesn't show the same intensity when the game is going on.
He may not have been the worst last night but he epitomises the team being physically and mentally weak when the going gets tough-the same goes for Aluko and Clement.
As for Joey I have (boringly perhaps) been saying all season that the pub player should not be there-we don't need an immobile defensive midfielder especially when we are at home to the bottom club who hadn't won away all season.
Apologies for the name-dropping but in a conversation with Sir Steve some years ago he said that he set the team up but it was left to the players to use their own intelligence for working things out on the pitch-it strikes me that Stam (as per his interviews) insists on TELLING the players what to do.
.
'As per his interviews'? For the last several interviews he has repeatedly stated that the players need to make their own decisions on the pitch and that too often they have made the wrong ones e.g. 'passing back to Vito rather than hitting it forwards'. For someone who supposedly insists on telling players what to do, he also spends very little time, compared to other managers, shouting and gesturing from the touchline. The most animated he became last night was when he was urging the players to get themselves and the ball forwards. He even stated after the game last night that he was frustrated because Liam Moore had pushed up front and they weren't getting the ball up to him.

Royal Rother We have had some managers who talk bollox after games for sure, but no-one comes close to Stam.
I was tempted to record last night’s pathetic interview, then type up a transcript to review but spending any more time than listening live to that twat’s voice would have sent me round the twist.
People say he’s a clever bloke, deeply intelligent.... absolute tripe. Yes he can string lots of words together very quickly but in reality they make no sense, even from a footballing perspective.
He is useless.

Maybe the fans should expect to, oh I don't know, beat the side who are bottom of the league without an away win all season?

Excluding the usual Big 6 they are top of the form table (last 10 games).
1 defeat in 12 isn't it? And the only team since the 2nd day of the season to not lose to Man City
Nothing to do with bringing in Hodgson?

That's the point I'd make rather than attributing anything to Steven Reid

Royal Rother As for the TELLING them what to do versus the players having the RESPONSIBILITY to make their own decisions discussion....
You are both right because in interviews he repeatedly says both of those pretty much within the same sentence. He just picks on a series of cliches and strings them together really quickly in the hope that no one spots he’s contradicting himself “left and right” (to coin a phrase).
Utter fcukwit.

Well yes, Hodgson is a very good manager which people are all to ready to forget but when Reid left Reading we got worse. He joined Palace and they’ve got better.
Seems reasonable to think he might be capable of making a difference.

double d I think Br0B0t must have had one of his nerves broken when we dared to suggest that SR leaving had anything to do with us suddenly being shit and palace winning. Its like he has just lost the plot about that scenario and he cannot fathom it

Reid wasn't there until the 5th game of the season, and two out of the three matches that they lost before they beat Chelsea were against United and City.

Ok thought he'd been there since the start of the season...my mistake
If we're going to cherry pick teams v results...
CP have largely achieved draws against teams that are as 'bad' as them since SR appointment
will explain main gripe in reply to DD as it enables me to also call him a dumb pcunt!
