So I'm going for 0-0. It will be the worst game of the week and the last game on MOTD - don't even bother watching it." Sounds like a tool to me!

RedSoxUK Posted 7 August 2015 Share Posted 7 August 2015 Pretty much every single person is predicting 0 - 0, 1 - 1, or even perhaps, maybe possibly a 2 - 2. I for one consider the Sunderland team to be Sub-Football League, and should rightfully be smashed 11 - 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSoxUK Posted 7 August 2015 Share Posted 7 August 2015 On the positive side, it does end 2 - 2, there's a posibility one of our goalscorers will make it into Garth Crooks' team of the week......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 7 August 2015 Share Posted 7 August 2015 According to Football365 the appointment of Ranieri is reminiscent of the appointment of Alan Irvine at West Brom. Alan Irvine, the former Juventus, Roma, Chelsea, Valencia and Monaco manager with second placed league finishes in Italy, England and France and a Champions League semi final. That Alan Irvine. Read that article earlier and couldn't believe it. I thought Football365 was better than that in terms of research and logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpacedX Posted 7 August 2015 Share Posted 7 August 2015 (edited) This is your opinion, is it not? That Pearson doesn't choose the players, and didn't choose the tactics for the final nine games of the season? No, my opinion that differs to your own, is that firstly Ranieri has not inherited a team composed solely of 'Nigel Pearson's transfer targets'; secondly, they are not 'Nigel Pearson's players' they are Leicester City's and finally that the set up, selections and tactics for the final nine games of the season were not solely down to the manager as many seem to believe. If my views are as you say baseless, then really, they shouldn't be of any consequence to you. Despite your cringeworthy attempt at intellectualising your posts by pumping them so full of big words that they have to be read three times in order to extract meaning, all you are doing is just regurgitating the dullest and most obvious jibes that were constantly aimed at Pearson over the last 7 years: That is, he was responsible for all our failings, but never for our successes. Again you yourself make these assumptions. I apologise if that's the perception, it's certainly not a conscious 'attempt at intellectualising posts' or meant to rub anyone the wrong way, It's honestly not contrived - sorry if you think that it is. I'll heed your advice though. My main concern is that the a,s and d key's aren't working properly on my Mac and I have to keep editing posts, otherwise they'd be even more meaningless than you claim they already are. I have tried to remain oblivious to the jibes directed at NP over the last 7 years. I certainly don't believe that he is 'responsible for all our failings but never for our successes'- and made the point that the club is indebted to his contribution, although in respect of comparing the championship and the premiership... Oh course it's comparable. No, it isn't. I'm sorry I disagree. It's an entirely different level and the tactics, the pace, the politics, the stakes, the pressure the scrutiny is utterly unforgiving. I think it's because you sound very condescending in your arguments. You use a confrontational language that sounds more akin to a solicitor rather than 'banter or debate with a mate'. it maybe unintentionally but you certainly rub people up the wrong way. there are ways and means of airing an opinion. Again, I really do apologise if you think that but it honestly wasn't the intent and I appreciate your reply. Ok, I admit, I am in fact David Mellor. I agree, there are ways of airing an opinion just as there are ways of countering one that you don't necessarily agree with. Thanks for that. I'll be there at two tomorrow, block H. It'd genuinely be a pleasure to meet you and I'd be happy to buy you a pint beforehand, then you can properly judge whether you think I'm a twat. The internet is largely hot air and bravado, happy to step out from behind that bullshit. P.M. me Paul, it'd be good to hear your views on the game beforehand in person.

Danizen Posted 7 August 2015 Share Posted 7 August 2015 This thread used to be ace. We'd catch fans of other teams whining about us when we'd beaten them and have a good old laugh at them. Now it's just posting any old article that slags us off and calling the author a disabled and expecting everyone to sing our praises.

It's pathetic, it's like no-one should be allowed to say anything bad or having opinion against us. I honestly do believe people think we are the most hated club ever and love to live on 'woe is me'.
