Poyet In/Out/Fence

[pork pie]

Your definition of performing is presumably taking a club with little experience at this level, an average playing budget, and walking the league?

Your expectations are not based on any foundations. WHY should we be above clubs with more money than us?

I think you have it arse about face - why should clubs like Palarse be above us? We cannot win football matches, play football that is less entertaining than watching paint dry, and are totally predictable.

For me, professional football is supposed to be a form of entertainment, Poyet's dross is far from that. I would be happy to be in the position we are, if it was not for the cost of being bored shitless every week to achieve it.

Look how far we have come! He deserves our support and respect!!, it's a learning curve for Gus and should be free to sort things out! Keep the faith!

Palace are above us because they are an established Championship team, and have a good academy. They have also struck lucky with some of their signings.

Under which managers prior to Gus was the football standard so much more entertaining? Slade? Wilkins? Adams? McGhee?

 

[KZNSeagull]

Why would someone who has been unemployed for three years be better than what we have, and why does being British make him better?

'cos British is best. Even though it isn't.

I believe that if Gus was actually called Bob Smith and came from London, but we were in the exact same position as we are now, with the same vision for the club and the same run of form, he would not be getting half the stick on here that he is at the moment.

 

[Bigbelly]

No we wouldn't, we would be outnumbered and outpassed in midfield.

And what brings you to that conclusion? We have the players to perform in those ares but need to play in their right positions.

He "deserves" nothing from us. Do you really think he would still be here if he was a success and a decent Premiership club made a serious enquiry about him?

 

[El Presidente]

And what brings you to that conclusion?

Watching us play 4-4-2 a few times last season.

 

[Brownstuff]

He has not performed for one and a half seasons now, spent a small fortune (by our standards) and the football is getting worse. Not encouraging signs of future success.

The football is not getting worse.
We are so much more attack-minded away from home this season.
The entertainment at the Amex has not been as good as last season but overall we haven't got worse.

To a degree, if Palace were below us I suspect the deluded whining would be less too.

Very true. Happy New Year to you - hope it's a good one!

But that was last season. Our new signings are quality and could easily play in 4-4-2 or 4-4-3 if they were allowed to.

How did you get to be a mod, when if people don't agree with you you always resort to insults. I thought this Board was here to debate things about the Albion, not just to be a vehicle to subject us all to your perverted "humour"?

I don't think the referee would allow them to play 4-4-3

I thought things were being debated, but once you start playing your usual racist card then the gloves are off.

Racist? Hum, I don't think so.

And calling people with differing views to yours posts "deluded whining" is your idea of debate is it?

This time last year we were 16th having lost 4 games on the trot, and with 2 points less than we have now, so how do you reason that the football is getting worse?

The quality of our football has become dire. If you wish to bench-mark against last season, we will only have to wait a couple of games to prove it.

It is not possible to debate with a closed mind. I asked a fair question in asking you under which of our former managers Slade/Wilkins/Adams/McGhee etc we played better football and you chose to ignore it.

lol opps.

 

[Gully Forever]

It'll be interesting to see what happens to those 70+ sitting on the fence, if we get hammered today!.
