    lol, you lot have lofty opinions of your club, you want to get rid of a manager that has you in 4th plce, once you get your wish you'll be back to being lucky to get a UEFA cup spot every other year. What a joke.

    But we do have players with great ball skills, players with speed and movement, and we have players with the vision to make a good pass. What THEY don't have is tactical direction, you know, someone to say hang on lads this is not working, try this!

    I think that he was talking hypothetically CN and I wouldn't have disagreed with him, at the time.
    We were losing and had just had a player dismissed in an away game.
    How many teams win from that position?

    I won't disagree with that, Spurf. But, finishers are born, not bred. Oh, for a Jimmy Greaves - still, to this day, the most natural, deadly finisher I've ever seen in English football.

    "How many teams win from that position? "

    Not many. They're the ones who regularly finish above us, though. the ones who regularly score late on in games to pick up points that we would drop, because they never, ever accept anything less than victory until the final whistle. It's an attitude thing, and it starts with the manager, the coaching team and the senior players.

    What's even funnier is the pathetic Wum attempts from a brain dead moron, like you. Run along now, before your mummy finds out you're talking to big boys on the Internet.

    Like I said in my original post:

    1) I want Redknapp to stay and learn from his mistakes ...
    but
    2) I think the England job will come up again and so will all the speculation.

    If you saw him play, as I did many times, he was phenomenal. His hit rate from chances provided was extraordinary. He just so rarely missed. I think he said once something like, " goal scoring is easy. The goal is 8ft high and 8 yds wide. There's only one goalkeeper. I just pass it into the empty bit" genius.

    Can't disagree with this and I can't see any evidence of Redknapp learning from his mistakes, either.
    He's done very, very well for us, for the most part, but he doesn't appear to be working on the problems that we have.

    Yep I know, It's Greaves!.......................Goal!

    I knew he was good, great in fact but it's only when you wait for the next Greaves to come along and after 50 years he has still not arrived you realise how great he was.

    "I just pass it into the empty bit"

    I think of that whenever some pundit says "at least he worked the 'keeper" after someone hits a fierce drive from 10 yards straight at the 'kepper's chest.

    Or we'll hire a manager who can keep hold of third place when we have a ten-point lead in that position, instead of scrapping to keep fourth a few weeks later.

    Were you slagging of man City when they replaced Mark Hughes with Roberto Mancini? If so, you look remarkably foolish right now.

    second thoughts..dont really want your lowly opinion of your baseless club...idiot thinks he supports some kind of decent club with any ambition at all just because he woke up to be some rich arabs play thing...blood money gets you far nowadays<ok>

    One result short you say Lidl?

    i know you spend alot of time on this board as a United fan but maybe you dont follow the ethics of the club..the mentality etc...for me..once again when we had the chance to make a statement we failed..id love to quote myself on this as i have said this for years..whenevr we are one result away from saying...'we are here' we can do it...we hardly do....and i know we managed it when we got 4th and we won them 3 major games in a week..but a one off for me will not paper over that crack.

    Spurs forever giving others a chance!

    There was a lot of fuss about City unceremoniously ditching Hughes (after we stuffed them 3-0 at WHL), but do you think any of their fans are concerned with ditching a manager who had them aiming for a top four place these days?
