  1. He wont grab the headlines but really impressed with Gomez-is Clyne now 3rd choice right back?!
  2. He's a signing I never understood at the time and he's shown even less than I expected! Apart from questionable ability and attitude why we never signed someone to fit our style of play beggars belief.
  3. Although our remaining away games look ok we cant get ahead of ourselves-its just the next games to focus on getting the right attitude,preparation and intensity.
  4. You have to assume a signing will be made-we cant have the same as last year.If nothing happens the manager should quit if he has anything about him.
  5. Very pleased at the performance from Lucas.He looks a bit sharper than last season.
  6. Think I saw him play up front,midfield,fullback and centre back.He was a hell of a player-strangely probably centreback could have been his best postion but not able to dislodge Tommy Smith or Ron Yeats. Whilst people recall his goal on one leg versus Celtic does anyone else remember a wonder strike against Juventus in one of the earlier rounds the same season.If its on video anywhere well worth a look.
  7. Its actually 956 or 958.BBC Northwest or BBC Yorshire.Thanks for pointing me in right direction.
  8. Can you confirm the BBC time and date-I can see the ITV programme but not hte other channel.
  9. It isnt about the merits of a particular player or the quality of the previous management.Its about agreeing a strategy with the manager who plays his part then hanging him out to dry by not implementing the other side of the deal.
  10. Isnt it possible to stop threads like this getting started.It illustrates why so many people visit and post here less and less.
  11. The point about Benitez is he can only work with himself because he feels he is always going to do it better than anyone else.He falls out with everyone he works with over time.This isnt anti Rafa-just a comment.We did used to moan at Rafa if we were out the title race by January not the race for 4th at that stage of the season!If he is an option it is not in partnership.
  12. 1965 and went with a mate even tho we had no tickets.Got them from a tout who was beat up in wembley way;it was commonplace in those days to see touts relatively unprotected.Can still see St John's winning header to this day and Willie Stevenson's part in the first goal. The cup final was the glamour event of the whole season at that time.The homecoming was as memorable as the game itself- as was the Inter Milan game when the cup was taken round before kick off.
  13. There is no issue right this minute;time to reflect at season's end.Nevertheless the one attribute you associate with Kenny is man management/pulling together etc but we are seeing too much casualness, unmotivation ,lack of intensity and mental strength ,failure to achieve potential etc.Its extremely worryring and not only do I not know the answer but I'm not convinced-more worringly-that Kenny doesnt either.
  14. Its the lack of mental toughness that really worries me and has for some time.I wonder if this aspect plays any part in our appraisal of players in the transfer market-it doesnt't look like it with most recent arrivals irrespective of any debate about their technical merits.We are so fragile when something goes against us-we just look as if we want to optimistically limp to the finish line. I dont know the answer and more worringly dont know whether our management do either.
