Erling?

hard one to define isnt it, world class goalscorer absolutely no doubt, world class footballer would be a diff question wouldnt it, all depends on your viewpoint id think.

 

[heslops barnet]

I don't think it's even that hard

Play a 4-5-1 in a mid-block.

Don’t be giving them ideas!

 

[Fat Larrys Band]

If they're going to do a Leeds we need them to get 1 point from the next 4 View attachment 170930

God I do love a spreadsheet

Yeas, we should be eternally grateful they didn't heed Ragnicks report on what was wrong at the swamp and sacked him instead to keep all their comfy little numbers behind the scenes.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Anybody name a manager in the world who would be capable of turning around the shit show ?

It's not whether they are capable or not.....who'd 'Want ' to do it and ruin their reputation.


Unless of course the money is an ulteria motive, shirley not.....

Fucking idiot!

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Fucking idiot!

Simmer down ffs.

This isn't the thread for it, but Earl is an incredible goalscorer but not an incredible all-round footballer in the way, say David Silva or KDB were.

And that isn't a criticism, as I'm sure @mancboy didn't mean it as a criticism.

Earl's job is to bang in goals and he's brilliant at it.

 

[SilverFox2]

It's a win win situation.
They keep interim they are fucked.
They get Southgate they are equally fucked.
But leaks like that doesn't help anyone.

Good suffer you bunch of entitled cunts.
And then suffer more.
Don't go out of business .
I'm not sure I want them to even go down.
This where they are now is perfect..every summer they buy a load of has beens or never will be
The media especially that shower of shit slysports big them up.
The half wits believe the goods time are coming again
Then by end of September they realise it's the same again.
The only times that's coming for them is the normal for them.
Mid table.
Average cup side.
Rag bastards

As long as the revenue keeps coming in it's only the fans who are concerned.

 

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

Legend is an ambiguous term. Andy Morrison is a legend of our club but he hardly won any trophies.

Very kind of you to say so, thank you

 

[Grassland Blue]

They won't go down. There's definitely 3 teams worse than them in the league.

Name them.....

 

[TinFoilHat]

Name them.....

Wolves
Burnley
Forest

 

[Mr Fraser]

Wolves
Burnley
Forest

[Grassland Blue]

Wolves
Burnley
Forest

I said guaranteed.
Probably only Wolves and possibly Burnley.

He’s paid to score goals, and he’s definitely the best in the business at that, so therefore world-class..

And if his defending in the derby is anything to go by, he could soon be a world-class defender. A latter-day John Charles.

There has definitely been a great improvement in his all-round game this season.

To be honest, I think someone like Southgate would be better suited to where they are. I think he would get a steady set of players playing in a steady way a bit like moyes at Everton.
With their resources they can add on cherry on top players to improve and challenge with maybe a manager with different ideas.
In the meantime they keep buying cherry on top players with no clear plan and it's working a treat for us.
I would worry if they got Southgate because I believe it would be the start of their recovery.

Just seeing him striding onto the pitch must terrify the opposition - thank fuck I'm not a defender who has to face him.

Problem with the rag scum is that they aren’t prepared to accept a few seasons of mediocrity whilst they rebuild……
Make the same mistakes and repeat ..

Great, isn't it?

 

[Eccles Blue]

I’ve just watched Flog It and there was a group of Trafford memorabilia. Signed shirts, Robson, Cantona, Mark Hughes plus a full team one. Beckham’s signed Captain’s armband and other items signed prints etc. They went to the Auction and hardly any of them sold! There was little interest. The estimate was £600 to £800 for them overall. The two items that did sell both went on the Auctioneers discretion well under the price expected and they ended up with £250! The shirts didn’t sell at all except the one that the team had signed. Oh how the ‘mighty’ have fallen.



I shouldn’t laugh …. But I did! ;-)

I’d worry more if they appointed BFS. He would almost certainly keep them up.
Would be comedy gold if they did though.
