Watching the highlights, the rags are well and truly screwed. They're trying to play Pep style football with no Pep players. When Pep came to us it took 2 years for him to weed out the players that wouldn't suit his system and for the penny to drop for a lot of the others what he wanted from them. Ddg started trying to play the ball out from the back, realised the defenders and midfielders kept losing the ball and ended up punting it to no-one. To play the way he wants them to they need ball playing players throughout the team, and we know how hard it is to find and recruit the right players. In the mean time he'll lose the dressing room because they don't see the bigger picture, specially when the results don't go their way. The players that aren't up to it (most of them) will start to feel pushed out. We saw with Leeds & Bielsa that the style of football doesn't work in the Prem if you don't have the right players. We've seen from De Jong that the right players don't want to go to them, so they'll end up over paying. Overall they're screwed, and I'm loving it!

Took him one year 2nd year we bought 4/5 players and won the league

Five league titles, two FA Cups, five Charity Shields, two of which were shared, and one European Cup (according to Wikipedia).

This was a time, when there wasn’t as much money swilling around in the game, so teams were more equal and players didn’t move between clubs as much.

He also rebuilt the rags after the Munich air disaster.

Even the most rabid anti-rag Blue should acknowledge what a great job he did at the swamp.

2 times in there history they dominated, half there history they’ve be average at best!

 

[GFBlue]

Hereford United are better

Go on the Bulls!

BTW it's Hereford FC now - after HUFC went bust :(

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

They like signing our ex players eh? Rabiot being the latest.

Something else to wind them up about later.

 

[waspish]

These idiotic rags blaming the owners for not investing…..WTF? They have had millions given to them by the Glazers for players every season. Idiots.

You actually watch that!? I can’t be arsed with there false moaning just to get more views to make more money

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

There are still 37 games to go but can I just point out they they beat Brighton at home last season while we drew at West Ham. So we're already 5 points up on them over last season.

[HelloCity]

Sky Sports journo gets shady due to colleague making negative comments about Arnautovic. He then attempts the biggest PR positive spin ever seen lol

Breaking News.
The rags have signed deJong.



Only joking. They have more chance of signing Coco the fucking clown.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

The first two nailed on,not seen a clear angle on the handball it looks like it does hit his shoulder arm but not totally clear from what I saw maybe there is an angle that shows it nailed on ..

Didn't even need to get to the possible handball, Magliar was climbing before that happened.

Mind you with his 2 off the ball clashes after he was booked for that scuffle meant like mcjock he should have been off.

All I said that Brighton is supposed to be a nice place to go to at this time of year.

Are you sure you didn't say "you can't beat Brighton this time of year?"

 

[deano ou812]

As it stands the rags are the equivalent of the caveman with the wheel where as we are the f-35 jet that the RAF acquired off the United States..

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I've just seen FakeRon on MotD flapping his arms about and shouting. I've had a go at lip reading what he was saying and I think he's said, "Come on, you Seagulls!"

 

[Jack Hackett]

If Rabiot is the answer, I’m scratching my head as to what the question might be?
