Well I'm embarresed Missed the first goal. finishing my pint, Imagine my disgust as fans were leaving at 1 down, then things got worse! 2 down and captain marvel forgot how to keep his head up and actually ****ing lead the team, meanwhile most of the south stand were more interested in an argument over racism that was going on in front of me which involved a disgusting racist comment being fired at a palace player followed by an angry black man starting on the first(and wrong) person he saw. 3 down and the group of lads off left to me who hadn't made a sound all game managed to drag their attention from their iphones to point and laugh at the people who were displaying passion. This is where I lost the plot and laid in to the sad little ****s, I vacated my seat and went to join my friends who would be taking me home. Half way down the steps, 4 down, again john O'Shea letting the ball bounce and losing out, only to get down to my friends to find out we're leaving early too. Well that's just ****ing fantastic, wasn't happy but accepted it, I had no lift home other wise. . Embarrassing. This is the grim reality Dick, if you're trying to keep a team up where both the team and the fans don't deserve to stay up then you're managing for your own pride mate. Hope it works out for you I really do, not that we'd deserve for you to bask your own glory which would mean we've avoided the drop. ref was shocking too which is irrelevant, we play to the whistle and we were ****e. No qualms if/when we go down from me. We're just a well supported Wigan, sooner or later we're going to get relegated.
We definitely couldn't dream of saying we don't deserve to go down. I think it's 50/50 now and we need to pick up a surprise win at Stoke or Everton maybe. Obvs Leics at home is absolutely clinical. Saints will beat us. Chelsea and Arsenal will beat us handsomely.
PDC was right, most of us knew that! However the only way his philosophy would have worked is if he slowly injected it into the team over a period of months instead of shoving it down the players throats! I've always thought that if Di Canio could mould his own team and got the type of players who thrived on his methods then they would be formidable! Those types of players however would be few and far between! Di Canio became a manager 20-30 years too late!
John O'Cock has far too much say at the club. The sooner he's gone, along with his crock chum, the better.
Di Canio was right the players are pass heads and we're unfit yes. However the bloke was a ****ing mentalist everything had to be about him every press conference was controversial and frankly attracted the wrong type of media coverage. Keane was a crazy bastard but he knew how to handle things publicly and what went on behind closed doors stayed there. Di Canio couldn't wait to tell the world about his latest ****ed up plan and what else he had banned the players doing. Di Canio was also right about letting Di Fanti sign 14 pieces of **** in one summer. Only Giaccherini is still here to my knowledge and although he has shown glimpses he has hardly set the world alight. Di Canio gave us a 2 game shot in the arm at the end of the season which kept us up but apart from that the bloke was a ****ing car crash and if he was still here we would be on our way to league one. Yeah Oshea was **** today and against villa but barring that has been our most consistent performer. We all know he is slow and has been torn a new arse hole by quick players but surely that is the fault of Poyet for not bringing in a quick centre half to play against him. We may stay up or we may go down it really is 50/50 at the moment but looking to the past is going to change nothing.
Well i think you are talking sh ite and the club would be in a much stronger position than we are now, just my opinion like ( but then i am pissed ).
Fair enough I'm not saying his methods were wrong he just went about it all wrong and no matter who we had playing for us at that time for me the end result was always going to be a bad one both for him and the team.
You are missing the point mate its the same f ucking team who are ****e now so youve just delayed the inevitable by 2 years thats all we might aswell of had a clear out of the useless ba stards and done it his way with players who liked his system and buckled down.
That's me finished, just got in after more than enough pints of real ale in he Dun Cow and I've made my mind up , after supporting them since 1957, I'm definitely not going back until they give us something to shout about.
Aye PDC was so good he had us flying with 1 point out of seven games two seasons ago. Like Bruce he is yesterday's man and was a failure but with different excuses.
Granted today's performance and result was a shocker but trotting out the old chestnut about PDC when we have them is just plain boring.
