I don't believe we were in a crisis. A crisis is being in Portsmouth's position, or Darlington's position. And before you try and tell us that Wenger said we were in a crisis, he didn't. He said we went through a mini crisis and his latest words on it were that it was a couple of blips.
We certainly did have issues - we were in crisis (unless GG is talking **** on that too). Of course you were arguing that the only change made is confidence - so I guess we've just lacked confidence for nearly 8 years Or was it more than confidence and you were wrong on that too???
So looking back, what turned out to be a correct assessment of the situation? (1) That the solutions were within the club ? (2) That we should have sacked Wenger and sold Walcott and Sagna ?
a crisis is not a mini crisis Oh and that means you think GG was wrong on that too. How are all these people wrong except when they say something you agree with???????? VERY STRANGE.
Nice try Piskie trying to boil it down and over simplify it - sorry but I am still laughing at you for thinking you know more than GG and that every player is only worth listening to when they agree with you
I can only presume that you're either stupid or deliberately misrepresent to try and support your incorrect views (maybe both) If you had actually properly bothered to read what I said , you will have noticed that I said the reason for our turnaround was: (1) Players returning from injury (2) Arresting the mistakes that we were making (3) Being better defensively (4) Subsequent confidence returning (5) Reflected in results But I guess you ignore that, because it shows up your 'Wenger out' and 'Sell Walcott and Sanga' suggestions as being utter crap
Let me boil it down for you : 1) you think that the only change is confidence - despite us not winning the league in 8 years, and no trophy in 7. 2) you think its all fixable within - despite the club offloading a slew of players and bringing in 9 in the summer. 3) most of the things the 'doom mongers' said were also said by ex managers and players - but they were all wrong and dont know what they are talking about either - unless they agree with you. that about sums it up. i.e. you talk **** and are a hypocrite.
Piskie (aka 'I know more than George Graham') Given you think that, then all your other posts must be taken as complete garbage.
So, sacking Wenger and selling Walcott and Sagna was going to be the catalyst for turning around our fortunes And you wonder why I pull you up for talking **** Jayram ?
Where did I say that I know more than GG ? I said that he (like you) was wrong to say that we should 'let walcott go' Bullshit seems to be your currency
No you didnt.You took a point out of his comments and then labelled him overall for not knowing what he is talking about Big difference that you cant shake off even with your squirming. The only way off that one is to admit you were talking ****. Given that you have also told me I was talking **** for saying we were in crisis - which Graham agrees with - I assume you think he was talking **** there too. Seems he was talking complete **** then according to you - but of course anyone who says something you agree with is held up as proof you are right Hope you see how ridiculous that looks for you.
In the main, we made defensive mistakes, which caused our confidence to drain away and we lost and drew games that we should have won. We addressed the mistakes, we had players return from injury, the confidence returned ahind it's reflected in the results. This is why we were never that far off (as Henry and Keown said) and why the solutions were always within our club. It was never about sacking the manager and selling our best players. That was simply a ludicrous knee jerk suggestion.
Again, you talk ****. I said that on the particular point about 'let Walcott go' he was wrong. The rest is simply bullshit on your behalf. Jayram - proven to talk bullshit
Mistakes alone have meant we havent won the title for 7 years or maybe its Bolton's goal post? And of course now that we're not far off ........ 4th...... everything is rosy
wriggle wriggle wriggle Are you saying he was right then that we were in crisis? You cant take it back now - you said GG doesn't know what he is taking about.
Note your actual quote on GG: I think that pretty much sums up that he (and you) don't know what you're talking about I think the words 'pretty much sums up' give you away Piskie. Most foolish quote I have ever seen on this forum. You should take it back and least go away with your tail between your legs.
