Haven't got my head in the sand at all. I just don't agree with your silly "it's all Slade's fault" bollox. You'd f***ing complain if Arsene Wenger came to manage the Albion. It'd be: "He's been here for 6 weeks & we're not in the automatic promotion places".

Get a frigging grip will ya.

Oh, & you smell like Palace or even Manure to me - so do us all a favour & piss off to one of their message boards. I'm sure they'll welcome your terrific contribution. :wave:

Spot on, well the first part, not sure about the second part. Some people on here just like to moan, they wouldn't be happy if we were in the Premiership unless we were in the top 4. They will never be happy and will always be looking for a scapegoat, probably because their own lives are sh*t and they want someone else to moan at/about.

Realism

In this argument about realism versus ambition I would like to say it is those who dare to believe that things are possible who make things happen. Mike Bamber was one, and to an extent Dick Knight was one (both of whom achieved unlikely success because they believed it was possible and made it happen).

Some obviously dont care too much if we are successful, and this is based on the belief that we cannot be. I, and others, think we can be and desire it. I think Tony Bloom will, too; and sadly Slade, White et al will not take us there. If you want success and promotion you get a manager who has proven he can deliver that. And if you are ambitious you dont stop until you have found and persuaded one to come here. Slade has no record of promotions.

Well he certainly doesn't support The Albion, does he? Has he ever posted anything which has even the mearest hint of positivity?? I wish one of the Mod's would f***ing well sack HIM from posting. At least that'd be one knee-jerk miserablist less on here.

Ambition is great, but what we want won't happen overnight and there are too many on here who seem to expect to happen now. Newsflash. Its not going to, but given a reasonable period of time we will at least hopefully becaome a settled Championship side flirting with the playoffs. And if you think that lacks ambition, maybe you are right, or maybe I am just being realistic.

Is the correct answer, he's as much Brighton as I am Palace.

Perhaps your spot-on with your theory, but what happens if TB decides he isn't going to invest heavily in a new Management Team at present? Who else is gonna stump up the money if he won't - because I'd be happy for somebody to tell me the bleedin' answer. Additionally, exactly which 'successful' manager would want to come here without a hefty wedge to spend on better players?? Again, somebody tell me, because until it happens I ain't gonna hold my breath, quite frankly.

If that is Blooms attitude we may as well stop at Withdean forget Falmer because without a decent team and a decent manager it will be like Darlington

I think the point people seem to be missing about the point at Yeovil is that at 2.00pm if asked most would have been happy to come home with 1 point, but we let a 2 goal lead slip for whatever reason. Be it bad play or a ref decision we didnt complete the job, that is the major worry that we face in that we cannot hold onto a lead and kill a team or game off.

I most certainly wouldn't have. A struggling yeovil, whom we demolished 5-0 the last time we faced them, with 5 of their first team missing, with a returning murray and mcnulty in the side, with a debuting right back with premiership experience, in a team that should have been wanting to make up for their cup expulsion earlier in the week, when our away form has been good, and our performances better? I most certainly would not have accepted a a point before the game.

And to go 2-0 up makes the draw all the more worse.

Absolutely. At least it might be cheap in; & we could watch The Albion struggle without getting drenched innit.

See, it's not all gloom & doom*. :wink:


*Edit: Meant to say gloom & Bloom (or should that be Bloom & Doom??)
