[Albion] Happy Chris Hughton Day

[dazzer6666]

Absolutely perfect fit for a club that's run like ours......

Interestingly, I think his stock is now on yet another rise after the last few games where he's (cautiously as usual) widened our tactical range leading to yet more improvements...............the way in which (supported by remarkable recruitment) he has steadily and incrementally improved us in the last 4 years is an absolute masterclass in progression against a long term plan whilst making sure the foundations are safe and the squad stays #together. We all need to be a bit more patient.....

Cars? Have cars arrived in Norfolk? Surely you mean Tractors...

Aren't tractors are bit modern? Don't you mean horses?

 

[Marshy]

You are often wrong ie Long,

And no it wasn't me who was stalking you. I could start though

Hey at the time Long would have added to our limited options !

Just got back from a few days in Norfolk (at a surprisingly good hotel resort). There are indeed lots of tractors......it takes forever to get anywhere as you get stuck behind the ****ers all the time. Reminded me of being back in Devon. Didn't come across too many weirdos this time, locals all seemed friendly enough

Talking of Norfolk - at least there's one good thing that's come out of it.....

Love Norfolk, think Norwich is my favourite City. Was very lucky to grow up partially on the broads - very swallows and amazons! The north coast is beautiful too, equally good for summertime beaches and winter walks.

Yes, but they call tractors cars. The cars that we call cars are unsuitable because they can’t tow muck spreaders and the like.

Can see that.....I ran along a bit of the Norfolk Coastal Path, very nice.......also had a holiday on the Broads a few years ago (house by the river but rented a day boat) and loved it. Will go back at some point - fishing off the doorstep every morning was ace [emoji16]

Let us see. Unsurprisingly, Judas Horton got it wrong.

Not sure if the "egg" Clive Walker was referring to was CH or McDermott. Cowfold Seagull thought McDermott was the man or maybe Lee Clarke. Justice wanted Sherwood. Ernest clueless as usual.

I do love a good bounce. Plenty you could quote from there but my two favourites are:

Never happen.

Both experienced and British. Pretty much counts them out!

Mainly because it's from a bloke who thinks he's right all the time and calls anyone who disagrees with him an idiot

Then there's this:

You will grow to love him, when he takes us to safety and then up as champions next season he he he

Oh so nearly right and kudos for that post

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

The north stand sing, Chrissy Hughton's Blue & White army.

I know, but that's been used for every manager since Alan Mullery (and probably before). Is there something more specific for this God of a man?

Long would’ve been a very highly paid waste of a budget. Great athlete, offers not much else.

I will admit I was a bit underwhelmed when he joined, but bloody hell I was wrong. There could not be a more perfect manger that fits the Albion and his achievements with us have been unbelievable. Fantastic manager and a real gent. Hope he stays with us for a very very long time.

Very much this.

I too was meh/underwhelmed when he was appointed but I think that because he is so quiet / uncontroversial / respectful*, he's a bit under the radar and doesn't really attract attention.
However he has done brilliantly here and I am very happy to have him as our manager - he really provides the stability that this club needs.

(*apart from his disgusting touchline fist pumps)

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

If he'd been given the job instead of Hyypia (he was interviewed at the time) then we'd probably be in the top six now.

 

[Surf's Up]

Henceforth, let 31.12 be officially named Chris Hughton Day

Hmmm, not sure about that. He’d still have been hampered by David Burke’s spreadsheet.

Thank God Hughton wasn’t too proud to apply a second time.
