Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Wow. There's a heck of a lot of face/egg collision on this thread isn't there.
Good to see this got 24 thumbs up at the time. How right you were...
Said it earlydoors, say it again. Only SANE manager of the Amex era. Stopped the very serious rot last season and has pushed on up this season after the succession of foreign nutters who mistook taking ten or twenty or thirty crablike passes to reach the halfway line (only to instantly lose possession due to a pathetically lame midfield) as a measurement of success. Hughton IN!
Yeah some people did make real berks of themselves back then, and that’s not only funny but it’s good that those who were calling for patience have been vindicated. But equally I don’t really think it’s that positive to say “I told you so”. I think it would be better, and generous, to acknowledge that those who were mistaken back then, were only saying it because they care about the club. Let’s not be too hard on them, hope they’ve learnt a lesson about knee jerk reactions and all look forward to pushing for promotion this season.
A re-writing of history. Gus side that finished fourth was a very good, entertaining side. 6-1 against Blackpool, 5-1against Barnsley, 3-1 against Burnley,3-0againstSheffield Wednesday 3-0against Ipswich, 4-1against Udders, 3-0 against Palace, all excellent, entertainment
Thought we was boring as fack most of the time to be honest...Had a few games in the championship where we scored a fair few in the second season,but most games in the championship were average or bore fests.You forgot about Vicente too - he was worth the admission money alone if he was playing.. I will never understand people who thought that side was boring! Flairtastic possession football. True, it was often missing the end product (at least until we signed Ulloa), but we sometimes played teams completely off the park. Perhaps some people would have preferred us to hoof it...?
Remember the Barnsley game and strangely I found it boring for some reason as you wouldn't have thought we'd won 5-1A re-writing of history.

Some right MUGS on this THREAD, anyone can SEE Hughton was ALWAYS the right man for the JOB

I think the reason for that is & please correct me if I'm wrong but that game was moved to a Sunday.due to something happening at the university.
Hughton in. There is a great malaise, going back several years now, at our club (mainly the ingrained belief in passing sideways and backwards, slowly, just outside our penalty area in the futile belief that this is 'proper' football, and the misconception that anything that involves going forward at speed is hoof-ball), and it will take him time to turn it round.

You were right about Hughton, and the slow predictable football in much of time before he arrived.
You should see [MENTION=12935]GT49er[/MENTION] on the Brexit thread. Always on the ball there too
Thank you (I think)! But I do try to keep the two separate - there are some posters on here I can have quite a reasonable debate with - except when on the Brexit thread. Anyway, I tend to try and keep away from that most of the time now - it's just the same old, same old, 'We're more intelligent than you and you don't know what you voted for bollox' - just often more vitriolic than that. Can't be ar8ed.........
Same as that. The pathetic posts from the usual gang that Brexit voters are thick, racist, senile, etc. just makes any engagement pointless. Anyway, not long to go. We won’t stay in, there won’t be another referendum and Chequers won’t fly.
So hughton in then?
