Matt Posted 12 September 2011 Posted 12 September 2011 When did we sign Sol Campbell? I missed that signing! Bit of a disappointing signing tbh, although maybe he could be a wise head among the headless chickens we currently have in our joke of a defence.
Guest MattP Posted 12 September 2011 Posted 12 September 2011 He's basing his opinion on what facts? He made his mind up that Sven would be a failure at our club using which facts before he even started? Well I imagine he was baseing his original opinion on his work in English football beforehand. That's up to him to do. My original opinion was its was a strange appointment for the championship but I was hopeful his statue could intice the players here to take us up, my opinion of that remains the same but I have been baffled to how many ridiculous decisions he makes with regard to team selection and personnel. Claridge isn't out to "get us" - that's his opinion. I'm quite fearful that however he came to his conclusion he could well end up being correct.
dannythefox Posted 12 September 2011 Posted 12 September 2011 You've got to laugh or you would cry about people wanting Billy Davis here!
panky and our gang Posted 12 September 2011 Posted 12 September 2011 So Rotund Reynard you run true to form . when ever you disagree with another poster you resort to your pseudo intellectual bully boy stance and ridicule their opinion . Claridge has achieve more in his life than you could ever hope for and on footballing matters I'd take his word against yours any day . Stop listening to your own rhetoric and listen to others for a change .
accessory Posted 12 September 2011 Posted 12 September 2011 He's basing his opinion on what facts? He made his mind up that Sven would be a failure at our club using which facts before he even started? He has on numerous occasions belittled the fact that we have money and that we're trying to 'buy the league'. Does he have some inside info that we all don't know about? He has made assessments of our performances on the Football League show, but only at the start of the show indicated that he hadn't even seen the match. He was basing it on the clips they showed. How is this punditry even remotely professional lest respectful. Has he earned a reason to spend his time being negative against our club, does that shinned goal equal an untouchable opinion? Does it bollox! Having him on the RL moan-in is just about right. At least the callers were prominently positive, perhaps his inclusion was to 'even things out'. Claridge has often been openly sceptical about the reasons for bringing Sven into English lower-league football in the first place. But a year on, Sven has yet to provide conclusive evidence to dispel these doubts. A record of 6 wins from the last 20 league games is hardly a convincing one. The idea that he should watch every minute of footage from every Championship game in detail before being able to pass judgement is absurd. But he did watch the Forest game in detail as it was the day's featured match on the FLS. He would have seen for himself the lack of professionalism which cost us victory in a game we should have strolled. That serious flaw (on and off the pitch) has also been in evidence in every other game this season, including the League Cup games. Instead of bleating about his lack of respect for us, maybe we should consider how we could remedy that situation - by producing a series of performances and results which will elevate us to a league position which reflects the aspirations of our owners and the majority of our fanbase.
dannythefox Posted 12 September 2011 Posted 12 September 2011 Why is Claridge getting the opportunity to air his shite on the radio? People don't like Claridge because he tells it like it is. He doesn't talk shit he's been there and got the t-shirt ffs people need to wake up and smell the coffee just because your not hearing what you want to hear!

Stop listening to your own rhetoric and listen to others for a change . Where exactly have I ridiculed anyone on this thread for making their opinion. I've stated my opinion regarding Claridge and gave my reasons why. Another sensitive soul who is hard done by. How do you equate success parky? Do you know anything about me. No. I don't talk in rhetoric, and I objectively listen to others if they support their opinions with facts. Claridge does not. If you hold Claridge so high in opinion about all things football, you keep sticking to it. That's your choice. But not mine.

I don't disagree with that last sentiment. But the constant exaggerated negativity supported and supplemented by Claridge's media input is NOT helping that happen. Also if he's not watching every one of our games, isn't down the training ground, or party to some inside knowledge, then he knows nothing more than anyone else on this forum.
Callabinho Posted 12 September 2011 Posted 12 September 2011 I was hoping to ring up and just play cliffs of Dover down the phone to them all.... All for the need of whitty banter.
stivesfox Posted 12 September 2011 Posted 12 September 2011 The phone attracts the same callers!! Ross is an utter knob head sounds suicidal in his voice his comments saying Billy Davies was a bad manager was a bit OTT. Ross needs to get a job or a girlfriend too much time on his hands. I met the guy David who calls in he drinks in holiday inn speaks a lot of sense a regular caller unlike The old dear who used to call in saying the world would end without fryatt!
Dan Posted 12 September 2011 Posted 12 September 2011 Joe about 20 mins in - I remember him in the past and he was a very good caller, I'd love to hear him most weeks to be honest, one of the best calls I've heard, passionate about it all and said it like it was, and raised some very good points about us not being "Man City of the Championship". Fair fvcks to him.

panky and our gang Posted 13 September 2011 Posted 13 September 2011 Rotund Reynard it's not that I hold Claridge in such high esteem it's just that I hold you in such low esteem . Your right about one thing though I know nothing about you and I am happy with that present state of affairs. :thumbup: Oh and by the way it's Panky not Parky and there's a gang of us, pay attention boy . :crylaugh:
Fox92 Posted 13 September 2011 Posted 13 September 2011 He thought Michael Ball was a CM and that Vassell gives no effort But yeah the Gally, Pantsil and Mills bit is right. Thats why I didn't include the Vassell part in my post, because I thought he was wrong about that bit and also the quote about Ball, but he was probably getting mixed up with Johnson.

You have amounted less than two hundred posts of drivel, a foundation of posting that wouldn't support the weight of acooling's black friends. Your approach is all wrong and your scrawling is not in the least bit respected by the majority of posters, which includes, ironically, the posters which I often don't see eye to eye with every day. I understand that you won't 'wind your neck in' and that it is likely you'll retort with some nonsense that will be utterly becoming of your genre. It's simply that I feel compelled to point out that your arrogance is spawned from a self belief that your aggressive, humourless, tactless, poorly informed falling spittle turns to genius as it passes through your imaginary aura of self importance, which to everybody else is a transparent shell to protect yourself from the insecurity that we are all in no doubt that you feel. You want to talk about respect and who you hold in such low esteem ........give me a break, get your gang to go buy you a mirror. If I started laughing at your contributions to this site, I'd be scared I'd never get my breath back.

This is the same Spherical Fox who labels any opposition to the manager and his tactics as "imbeciles". If that's your definition of "constructive opinion" and "decent sense of humour" then maybe you need a new dictionary.

If that's your definition of "constructive opinion" and "decent sense of humour" then maybe you need a new dictionary. I hear you. I am frustrated with Sven's tactics regularly but I reckon that Spherical would not call me an imbecile for my criticism. It's the constant barrage of abuse for SGE that's knee jerk and not proportional to the situation by people who listen to the radio and have consistent expectations beyond grandeur. Sven may well be marmite - but FFS I can't remember Martin Allen getting abused on these boards as much as SGE does and he should of.
AmyLGK Posted 13 September 2011 Posted 13 September 2011 Finally ive found a pic of Youngy... AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! :crylaugh: :crylaugh: :crylaugh: :crylaugh: :crylaugh: I've been thinking he reminds me of this guy!

Sven may well be marmite - but FFS I can't remember Martin Allen getting abused on these boards as much as SGE does and he should have. But before the season started, anyone who uttered the mildest of concerns about the manager's approach was immediately shot down in flames on these boards by those who assured us that success was certain. The present unrest is at least in part an inevitable backlash against those individuals. For what it's worth, I don't think he should be sacked either and should be given more time to produce results with a side that is recognisably his. But it's a source of concern that neither he nor the owners are familiar with this league and therefore appreciate the requirements to escape it. Maybe they're not as far advanced in the learning curve as they should be. As for Martin Allen, it didn't take long to spot that he was way out of his depth during his time with us. But that probably says more about the chairman who appointed him - whom I'm told was another "messiah" prematurely anointed by this forum.
MrSpaM Posted 13 September 2011 Posted 13 September 2011 The amount of times Alan Young got our players names wrong last night was borderline ridiculous, especially considering Bollard even commented on the amount of callers who had rang in and failed to even get players names right.

No use of plural, but I'm starting to reconsider.

But that probably says more about the chairman who appointed him - whom I'm told was another "messiah" prematurely anointed by this forum. What unrest? It's simply a proper discussion like it always was, the only difference is that since the appointment of Sven-Göran Eriksson, much more so-called experts and sour guys have come out of the woodwork, bashing our team on every available occasion (when things don't go the way they want it). But if you want to, you can keep on talking us into an artificial crisis state and treat us all to the continuation of your epic verbal drama. Keep on playing the martyr card - you'll be found out eventually. Critique was and is always tolerated - it's the mind-boggling repetitiousness from the people expecting us to walk this league that gets on many people's nerves. Both Sven and the owners are still in the process of learning and getting to know this league better and better each day. You never stop learning (if you're smart enough). How high up in the learning curve they are, none of us knows. And believe me, apart from taking over the club, hardly anyone has big sympathies towards MM. He bought us for cheap, sold us for a tidy profit, brought in mostly mediocre to below-average players, always wanted to fondle with the player acquisition part himself and was just so unbearable to listen to. The guy had no passion other than the love of money.
