Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

haha thats one way to intimidate the ref!

I think our manager could learn a thing or two as we never get the refs decision

Lets see how many people jump on this

 

I wouldn’t have Bruce or Warnock in that list tbh, both are good managers imo.

 

Good Championship managers.

what PNP said, great championship managers. Useless in the PL.

 

The spuds and the scousers are notorious moaning about the refs. I was parodying lol.

If you highlight the bottom of my post you will see i have:

 

They're at just about their right level I'd say.

They don't seem to have a clear tactical plan/ style with their management. Rely more or less on pot luck than tactical nous.

 

The reason it is Hughes is because our board have ****ed up by waiting to sack Pellegrino for so long. He should've gone in January then we could've gone and got a more interesting name, but they were adamant Pellegrino was the man despite all the evidence suggesting otherwise. With only 8 games left and a real chance of going down it had to be a known (all be it known to be bang average) manager in this league who could come in and hit the ground running.

Hopefully it is only til the end of the season when we can **** him off and appoint someone from abroad again.

 

Nothing at the bottom of your post Bob...go to bed and cry yourself to sleep for the refs being mean to you.

 

have to disagree about brucey. He's found his level at championship and he is a good manager for that league. His style is very much defence and more defence ala big sam and co.

Warnock is the one with a scatter gun pot luck tactical approach although i believe he does okay in the championship because the players like him

 

it's in white mate so camouflaged. If i did it without that no one would jump on it seriously and i wouldn't be able to catch you out

 

It's very rare you'll ever see my having a pop at the refs.

 

Ohh camouflaged...that's grown up of you.

Well I had my fingers crossed whilst I giffed that response to you

I think you are missing libby and sky too much

 

The dynamics flowed well on this board...of that there is no doubt.

Luv made a good point the other day...we never get new people joining but old ones leave....if people want to talk to themselves or get a response every 4 hours then this place is looking ideal for it of late.

 

Anyway back to football.

Let's see which team has dived the most, put some myths to rest

Very good to see us so far down on the list. It would be interesting to see if against a number of dives unpunished that profited but I guess that’d be impossible as if the player wasn’t punished it’s open to interpretation.
I can think of two of ours straight away, Vardy against West Ham (that incident) that he was sent off and didn’t profit and Ndidi this season when he was also sent off. At least our players have the decency to do it when they have already been booked so they get sent off

 

From Manchester United to Chelsea to Middlesbrough, Goal takes a look at the teams who have been booked for diving the most

Goal takes a look at the teams who have received the most bookings for diving between 2013-14 to 2017-18.

As you can see, the key variable is that the refs hate chelsea which is why we get done for it.

Alli barely gets a booking despite diving multiple times in a match (as seen by all non spuds fans on this board)

 

Na it was the season we came up, conspiracy against us but then they didn’t get the stats to back it up
Not surprised Palace are so high ****ing Zaha
