I just wish someone would break the mould and say we they see.
I don't like patronising and thats what most of it amounts to. I don't like small mentality either as other posters and I have differed in the past. To me its big city Norwich with big crowd, after all I live in Cornwall.
So you tend to get, "didn't they do well to only lose 0-1" but on the other hand its "hasn't David Moyes done a fantastic job at Everton" but never "Boring, their leading scorer is a left back good at free kicks", tongue down the back of his trousers and its "Kenny will need a good twelve months to gel this unit together" but never "Dalglish has spent over £100M on tripe".
And in reality, adapatibility is only recognising what isn't working and making it work. But oh no we get the usual "clever move there by Ferguson to take of Giggs and bring on Wellbeck" when its obvious that Gigggs was having a mare!
But what the **** do I know, I never played the game at the highest level.
 
my favourite moment on motd this season was when hansen and shearer were highlighting swansea's passing game, showing something like 35 passes in a row and saying how well they pass it and keep the ball. they only crossed the halfway line briefly and then went all the way back to the keeper. now there is nothing wrong with keep ball and they may have been in the lead at the time, but all the clip illustrated is how mind-numbingly boring they can be to watch sometimes! apparently, this was amazing though...

as for suarez... <grr>

i'd love to punch his little rat face

Hooray, at last, I've been waiting for a comment like this so I could start a "Who would you like to punch" thread.
Can I use this as a starter please?

What happened to that www.punchmeintheface.com website? It appears to have disappeared :(

I remember us boys racking up the hits on old Robbie Cowling's ugly mug a couple of years ago, think we hit him something like a million times in a month or something <laugh> <laugh>

I'm afraid redruth that top level football long ago ceased to be a simple game. Trouble is we didn't realise it, until it slowly dawned that, far from ruling the football world as we always like to think, we were actually an undeveloped country -- and this despite Puskas and Co putting 6 past us in fortress Wembley, and 7 in Budapest in the early 50s. Winning the World Cup in 1966 did us a huge disservice by enabling us to maintain the conceit that nobody could teach us anything. It wasn't until the arrival of foreign coaches in the Premier League, and at international level the appointment of Sven, that English football started to face up to reality. Foreign coaches by themselves can't work the necessary miracle since we haven't the home-grown players to succeed in the modern game; hence such recent success as our teams have achieved, e.g. in the Champions League, has depended largely on the influx of foreign players. To me, the most exciting aspect of what PL is doing at Carrow Road, is his building a home-grown team who can actually play today's football. <cheers>
