    But you’re talking one view from that fixture where nobody said “sack him” but instead (rightly imo) criticised what are similar failings we seem to see with a bit of regularity.. There has been countless amounts of praise where it’s been due so really we have to consider the balance of all things.

    It’s not all rosy right now, but it’s ok to say that Howe has also given us the best memories for 30 years and the only trophy in 70, incredible feats but not then beyond any criticism when sat in 15th and below an abysmal Man U.

    Not specifically 'sack him' but GG has been quoted 3 times as saying something tantamount to that. Think its on the game thread but can't be bothered to look again.

    That, for me, is an unacceptable stance.

    Those views weren’t just from one game. People also infer that he has to go but that’s ok as long as the actual words sack him aren’t said?

    I actually agree with the 1st part, but unacceptable? If GG does want Howe out, it's just his opinion really. It's not like people haven't wanted previous managers out.

    I don't want Howe out btw because it's more likely to get worse than better either way, but I definitely ain't a fan of his in game management, that's all most people are saying guys.

    Again where have I said GG can't have his own opinion?

    Just as much as GG is entitled to his opinion, then so am I.

    This is also a forum where we can discuss, agree or disagree on posts to the various threads and posts. That is what I am doing. You have posted a few times recently that GG is entitled to his view, to my posts. Given that I've not said GG can't hold his own opinion, why?

    Just because GG may say the sky is green doesn't mean I or others can't
    1. Tell him hes wrong
    2. Disagree with his opinion
    3. Not agree with him.

    Yep, those two injury time goals against Liverpool and Arsenal (two of the best teams in the world) are a crisis, lack of mentality and poor subs.

    The last time we even conceded an injury time loss before that was prior 2024 and tbh I cba to look further back than that.

    Liverpool was an excellent performance hampered yet again by Gordon who seems crap these days. And consistently so.

    Arsenal? We could’ve been battered. But again picking out those two (three including Barca I suppose) selectively avoids failure to beat a poor 10 man villa, and newly promoted Leeds.

    Like I say my opinion is we look a bit lost - staunch defending isn’t a tactic.

    There's a difference between accepting an opinion and telling someone their opinion is wrong over and over again..

    I don't agree with him, but I'm not chasing him around like blood sucking mosquitoes.

    More than a touch of irony in this post.

    I respond to a new post of GG's and voice my view in response to that post and you class that as 'chasing him around'.

    By that logic if I make the point once and GG repeats or responds then I'm not allowed to respond further. Do you realise how stupid that logic is?

    Course you do. Hence the use of emotive terminology. You're still crying over our last disagreement and pretending to be GG's 'champion' so that you can be upset on his behalf. <laugh>

    No doubt you will tell me I'm wrong but am I?

    <laugh> <laugh>

    You need to drop me out of this. You’re well out of order.

    I’ve never said Howe out. I’ve said Howe learn. Big difference.

    Please can you go and find these allegations of me saying sack him. If you can’t find them. Please apologise to everyone.

    I have said Howe needs to learn. That he needs to get better. But I don’t recall once saying he needs sacked.

    Sorry bud but you have overstepped the mark here.

    You’ve never said Howe out? Honestly? Really?
    Magpie sees it the same way as I do. Then don’t get me started on last season and how wrong you were then.

    I will happily drop you out of this but don’t expect me to simply say nothing when I disagree with posts you’ve made on a PUBLIC FORUM. If you don’t want people disagreeing with you on a PUBLIC FORUM then don’t post comments on a PUBLIC FORUM. It’s really not that difficult.

    And please pack it in with the ‘victim’ mode. You’re not a ‘victim’ you’re simply getting people who disagree with you responding to your posts on a PUBLIC FORUM!!!

    Let's not do the battle of semantics here, you've constantly said Howe isn't the man, Howe doesn't know what he doing, Howe needs to go blah blah for years.
