Goodbye Downing...

[WhiskeyJar]

Who do we bring in now is the question.

[Mike D]

Bye!

[Jose Jones]

I'm merely pointing out that soccernomics had a big influence on the kind of players we were looking to buy and still does. People translate that in different ways to suit the pantomime they've got going on in their head.

 

Our problems didn't end with the departure of Comolli and Dalglish. We continue to struggle in the transfer market. I think a big reason is these incentive based contracts we are offering. If people think Rodgers has any say in the kind of contracts the club is offering then they're being at best, naive.

 

I think you are making a bit too much of it. Comolli was a bit of a chancer who based a lot of his thoughts on players around statistics, without appearing to have much other judgement or idea of cost.

However almost every club will use some methods to decide what players they want and what they are willing to pay. We did it under Paisley, Dalglish, Benitez, Robinson and Parry. It's nothing new at all.

 

Not sure on the incentive based contracts.

The only player who we have reportedly lost based on cash was Sigurdsson wasn't it? It seems to me we have easily signed "lesser" players like Aspas and Alberto and Mignolet, but the ones we try and sign from Champions League clubs we struggle.

Players only move for 3 reasons really; to win things, for more money, or for more playing time.

 

I think we are struggling at pitching to players on the winning things front.

[dennis tooth]

Well duh, given the manager has never won anything in his life, we our way off fourth, with our best player unhappy to say the least.

A few pre season wins doesnt impress me and neither has our form last season each and every time the pressure was off.

People go on about our end of season run but fail to recall how it actually was, them flaking and making Wengers boys look like a solid mentally unbreakable unit. It was a season of premature ejaculation for many and still they dont learn.

I havent written Rogers off, I mean how old is the guy, like 25 or something, might come good, he's media savvy, says all the right teeth at the white time and tries to play attractive footy. He puts a brave smile on, when the shit hits the fan, and Im sure at the back of his hed, he means well but right now we need a winner, why gamble?

Rafa wanted the job, he wasnt media savvy, more media autistic, his teeth wore the stains of coffee and lentils and if you looked close enough, yes jaffa cake shrapnel, he aged a lot in the job but you know, he overacheived without winning the league, to get us back up to second, well look at us now, better owners but somehow worse off, off the pitch.

Not that its something Im putting forward but there were proven managers out there, was it Hiddink, Van Gaalstones or someone who said they wanted the job?

Jupp Henykes, no tar we're fine finishing 7th over here thanks.

Ive heard it said you see that we had to go for Rogers, FSG's second choice, yo might know me as insane but many people on here actually claimed (Presumably another FSG footballing holocaust denier) that we only spend an age trying to win an agreement with Wigan to speak to Martinex to ask him about Rogers, Im still holding back the tears mate.

Anyway it just shows how deluded many of our fans have become (Numero utero has reached a level of self ignorance on this that has left me stunned, always coming up with heavenely scenarios where the FSG men float in with halos on their heads to the smelly ald club but he never backs his scenarios up and snorts 'where's ye proof' to any critiques, its like gaymen who pick on fellow gays cos their in denial. A common condition. You attack your perception in those, that you fear in yourself.) while the club has slid lid.

Im aware that the club shalt be soldeth however and guess what, you'll just have to take my fucking word ferrit. Its that new shit, ye out of ye mind ye not feelin this hot shit, who stopped tryin my presence will calm you, raise hell, start bar fights with a bouncer, get iller, wiser an richer, you really want that you can get that, break bones on impact, do something show me how you get down, we lookin for souljahs! etc, etc

 

So yeah you can go along with the FSG dont understand football but theyre right to appoint Rogers somehow, but throw a young manager in there cos they think it breeds stability or some such notion, yeah but you dont know anything about football and we been watchin it fe beards, the top 4 managers was the really experienced ones who had won stuff, fancy that?

99% agree. I'm more of a pine marten guy than ferret.

[TheHowieLama]

Meerkat = CL

[dennis tooth]

Thats stoatally different. Sorry

[Red Phoenix]

Bye!

 

There's got to be some great photoshops that can be made out of that. Maybe if the photo was bigger and we had more of his body it'd be better anyway.

[WhiskeyJar]

 

Number 23.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Number 23.

 

Like all the sporting greats. Ours is spare now though.

[Total Longo]

Absolutely deluded....

There's a reason your at West Ham Stuey mate, it's because you're not very good.

[Jairzinho]

Henry Winter in talking total shit about English player/manager/chairman shocker. The xenophobic little queef.

[Tony Moanero]

Henry Winter's hair is fucking shit.

[Trumo]

Downing in thriving-at-a-club-where-the-pressure-is-off shocker.

[Russ Atmosphere]

The level he played at against us will only be repeated once more all year, that's Downing in a nutshell.

[Jairzinho]

Henry Winter's hair is fucking shit.

 

He looks like a Tory MP.

[J-V]

He looks like a Tory MP.

 

Looks like he was conceived through incest so definitely a Labour MP.

[Bjornebye]

You should have seen the shit pidge was giving Downing at the match last week. We were about 4 rows from the front near the corner flag and I genuinely thought Pidge was about to run on and smack him when he took a corner. 

[Guest Code73]

Such a pansy twat.

[J-V]

Return of the Mack.

 

Drenny we've an imposter.

[Guest Code73]

Well, you know, actually Downing was one of Kenny's best players. It was his synergy with Meireles that was the most threatening, but it wasn't counter-balanced.

[Bjornebye]

[Boss]

Well, you know, actually Downing was one of Kenny's best players. It was his synergy with Meireles that was the most threatening, but it wasn't counter-balanced.

 

We've created a monster.

[Guest Code73]

Monsters Ball was very underrated as one film you know.
