Are you asking why I haven't posted for years ? Doesn't matter. I can post as often as I choose to.

Just listening to The Sunday Supplement on Sky and it was great to hear the support/positive comments on the start of our season and most of all the support for Pep in his handling of the Hart situation. Love Hart and alot of respect for his years of service but I've already moved on! Bravo will very soon "officially" be a blue and our No1 keeper and I just hope the fans can remove their emotional attachment to Hart and get behind Bravo 100%. Go City and Go Bravo!!!;)

Sadly, I think that will prove a tall order for some.

Maybe less than you would think. It's natural to show regret and even a bit of shock when a popular, long-serving played is axed. I'd put myself in that bracket. However, I'm sure the vast majority understand why Pep was brought in and what he is trying to achieve.

In a few weeks time I think almost all of us will have moved on and be anticipating not just a cracking season but an exciting future as the youngsters come through.

Personal opinion is that I am gutted to see Joe go; however I recognise that as good as I think he is, our manager is looking for something different to what Joe provides and inevitably he will have to go. However what I will never forget the huge contribution Joe has made to us becoming one of the best sides in the world, and no less significantly his qualities as a leader and a proper bloke - never hidden, always passionate, thinks really well of the club and the fans, articulate, and even last week (for those of us still in the ground) he came onto the pitch at the end of the match to congratulate his team mates and the fans. A proper bloke and a proper Blue. Thank you Joe

Missed the point spectacularly Harry.

Going to spell it out for you nice and simple: We've waited a long time to bring in the best manager in the world. He deserves his chance to make the team the way he believes. If you are already against him then you are putting the best interests of a player ahead of the club. This makes me question whether you really are a blue.

I'm not against Pep - having an opinion doesn't mean I'm against him. You've got it spectacularly wrong as to whether I'm a Blue. Been going home and away since 1967 - mainly only home games since 2000, worked on the south coast between 1997 and 2000 but continued taking my kids to all home games two Divisions down. As a young kid in the early 70s (Bell, Lee, Summerbee and Marsh et al), helped my mate and his dad sell programmes inside the ground next to the Kippax before watching the game (usually missed the start). Still think I'm not a Blue ?

Messi has faced Hart several times. Yaya, Rooney and Schweinsteiger are past their prime. At 29 a GK's best years are still to come.

It's still misleading - just because some famous player says 'Hart is great' it counts for very little.
I am sure you'll be able to find lots of positive comments from Messi or Buffon about many other players - it doesn't mean we should be picking our teams based on what flattery they receive!

SOME GK's best years are ahead of them at 29, some aren't. And even if Joe's best years are ahead of him, we still don't know if his best is going to be good enough for Pep, or how long Pep might have to wait.
 
All this 'are you really a blue' stuff is sad.
I can sit behind a bloke at the game and both of us have massively different opinions about what we see. That's football. I know we get some morons stirring up trouble, but most are just blues with a lot of varying opinions.

This. I've not seen anything in Harry the Blue's posts to merit people doubting his credentials.

As is wumming and spouting contrary bollox designed to cause shit and nothing else.

That's not at you mate, it's what we have to look out for a deal with all the time and this morning has been full of it.

Of course you can but it's a little odd that all the good....no, great things that have happened to our great club you don't feel the need to comment on yet a slight negative sees you all over it?

Don't be offended when some express their opinion and surprise at that.
 
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it but in Jonathan Northcroft's column in today's Sunday Times he quotes Marti Perarnau the writer of Pep Confidential who is as close to Pep as anyone. I am not going to copy out a lengthy article but basically he says there are two schools of goalkeeper, the traditional like Schmeichel, Casillas and Buffon and another containing people like Neuer, ter Stegan, Bravo and Leno who have better vision for reading the game. He says that Pep cannot play with a keeper of the first school. He says Hart should not feel too bad about it because Pep also wouldn't be able to work with other good keepers and specifically mentions Courtois who he says is similar to Hart.
 
Matt the Giant said:
Maybe this has been brought up already, earlier in this huge thread: But, would it be so unthinkable for Hart to simply give his all and try to adapt to Pep's system, to develop? Or has he... simply given up without a fight?
Why so? I in that case wonder.

Does he see himself as too good to improve? Or does he maybe think this is something he simply cannot learn?
I hope for his sake his decision to leave isn't ego-driven.

I thought along the same lines, I'd like to believe that Pep has simply told him privately "you're done" and everything public is to keep Joe's dignity and price intact. I'd hate to think the lads simply give up before trying, it'd be very contrary to the character he projects.

No, I made a comment because of all the negative press about Joe on Talksport etc, and loads on this forum (a forum for opinions) are all over me. Before I know it, people are accusing me of not being a Blue or being against Pep, which I'm not.

In my experience, when people judge you without knowing you, they don't define you. They define themselves.
