Re: WHO Question: Likes vs Reactions (and the C**T Button)

Sorry, but the idea of having a Cuntishness barometer is fucking awful. This would just encourage the people we're already sick to death of, because it feeds their ego. They'll be worse than ever, desperate to be crowned biggest cսnt on WHO. A dislike button is good, but not as a method of judging p...

Manuel, I think you're all right, but you really don't have a lot of self awareness. The shit you give to certain other posters is just as much stalking and cyber bullying as anything you're on the receiving end of. And let's face it, if you weren't such a cyber bully yourself then the people "...

It's been done well. Personally I'm not that fussed about the new features either way, although I agree that a dislike button would be good. It might mean that certain people can just click on that instead of calling someone a cսnt and starting a schoolyard squabble. Might be worth pointing out that...

The Studio is really hit and miss. Some episodes are brilliant. Others are fucking awful. The bad ones are basically a cross between a bad episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm and a Jerry Lewis farce.

Re: Ipswich Vs West Ham | PL | 25.5.25 | End of Season Predictions and Match Thread

Yeah, I got what your point was. I had already brought up the point that Kudus' poor form was likely down to him being played out of position. Just think that the decision to sacrifice Kudus in favour of Bowen might not have been the best choice. Not that it matters really. We were always going to h...

Re: Ipswich Vs West Ham | PL | 25.5.25 | End of Season Predictions and Match Thread

How does anyone think Bowen would perform, goals and assists wise, if he spent a whole season on the left wing? Agree with your point, but to be honest I reckon Bowen would have performed much better there than Kudus has. Bowen's dribbling is all about close control and he can do that anywhere on t...

Re: Ipswich Vs West Ham | PL | 25.5.25 | End of Season Predictions and Match Thread

Kudus has spent the vast majority of this season on the left, where he is pretty ineffectual. He can't make runs the way he wants to and can't find space to shoot either. If a player gets regularly played out of position and he's not able to adapt to it then inevitably it's going to lead to low conf...

Good news. Much as I'd like a change of manager for us, this ain't the one. Proper Emperor's New Clothes this bloke. If he wasn't so young then people would take more notice of his mediocre results and dreary style of play. He basically likes Pottering about: keep possession as much as you can witho...

Sir Alf, Guilherme played 5 mins in the FA cup, none in the League cup.

Re: Potter Out

Talking about the firing of previous managers, it's pretty noticeable that Sully seems much quicker to pull the trigger on foreign managers. Lopetegui got the boot when we were in 13th, Bilic and Pellegrini at 17th, and all three when there were many, many games left to turn things round. Moyes and ...

Re: Potter Out

The Amorim comparison is worth making because despite results for both managers being poor, a lot of Man Utd's fans like his attacking style of play and know that given time and the right signings they will get the results to go with the football. I don't think anyone who actually watches us play ca...

Re: Potter Out

A new manager can struggle in the beginning when trying to instil a particular style of playing to the team and that can mean poor results. That's fine and understandable. The problem is that Potter's preferred style of play is fucking godawful and has been throughout his career.  All this shit we'v...

Re: Progress Under Potter. ?

I think for a lot of us the worst thing about Moyes was how the mentality was so passive when not in possession. Weirdly Potter manages to make us just as passive when we actually have the ball. Don't know why anyone would think that's a good thing.

Re: ten Hag

One thing you can say about ten Hag is that he did try to adapt to the players he had, adopting a much more direct style of play than he used at Ajax because his Man Utd players weren't really up to a passing game, and that was pretty successful in his first season. I don't know if he then tried to ...

Re: Progress Under Potter. ?

So Antonio being out and Bowen breaking his foot, shortly before he took over, may have had a big impact on that.  Bowen only missed 4 of Potter's games, and we scored 5 goals in them games, which is a higher average than we've had since he's been back from injury. Obviously I'm not saying that we'...

He weren't doing a great job at Man Utd. He had started pretty well and they did win a couple of trophies, but last season they finished 8th, their worst finish in 25 years. This season they started off shit as well, winning just 4 in 13 games before he got sacked. You really have to look at the god...

Re: Progress Under Potter. ?

I wonder what it would actually take to sack Potter in October. Seeing as we were 13th in January and nowhere near relegation when Lopetegui got the push, he's clearly been the harshest treated. Bilic was given the heave-ho in November, when we were 17th. Pellegrini got the boot in December, when we...

Interesting how when discussing tactics for the next opposition he says that players these days don't have the attention span to just listen or look at a whiteboard. They have to be shown video presentations and they can't be more than 7-8 mins long. In Trevor Brooking's few months as manager he app...

Re: Progress Under Potter. ?

In fairness to Lopetegui I think at least he realised that our midfield was so lacking in creativity that he had to deploy Wan Bissaka and Emerson higher up the pitch to provide ammunition for the front men.  Potter has tightened the defence but the midfield is still bloody awful and would struggle...

Basically, under Sullivan’s board leadership we’re always shopping in the bargain bins at TKMaxx.

Re: Allegri.

From what I gather, Allegri basically plays Moyesball. Very defensive, low block, not much pressing. He is used to playing that with some of the best players in the world, not the mediocrity he'd have here. He's also got a suspect temperament. Said years ago that he planned to retire at 55 as the jo...
