Otta Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 I entered 2-1 West Ham, then thought "nah, don't be silly" and went 2-2. Damn it!!!!Really enjoyed watching them today, but AM I hink you're just trying to wind people up. BFS has been there a while, it is only now that they are playing nice football, and I honestly believe that is despite him rather than because of him.Although to give him his due, they looked really good at the back today, and I think he's probably put the steel in to the team.

maxxi Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Not even the friends-of-Robbie-Savage brigade (see above Otta) can spoil this B)- but ManC were pretty poor 1st half - Aguero to get a retrospective ban?

Otta Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 It's when he says things like?There are two types of coaches. There?s coaches like me who weigh up the opposition and ask the team to adjust. Fergie was similar. Jose [Mourinho] is similar. Then there?s Ars?ne, who won?t adjust. There?s Brendan [Rodgers], who looks like he won?t adjust. There?s Manuel Pellegrini, who looks like he won?t adjust, even in the Champions League. He seems to favour what he?s got. City are quite open."That he just comes across as an arrogant knob. Even if there is truth in what he's saying, the man's ego is just enormous!

Alan Medic Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm just having a bit of fun Otta. I'm upset that maxxi chose to be abusive towards me but PD has done the same. I spent 6 months working at Upton Park and loved every day being able walk by the pitch, walk down the corridors by the managers office and the dressing rooms and finding out how much KB had difficulty in keeping a PA who would want to work with her. I hope they don't regret leaving there as it has history. I always see football grounds as being sort of churches dotted here and there around the country. That was like working in one.However I sincerely don't thing SA is as bad as some fans think and I think his point which you referred to about some managers not being adaptable is perfectly valid. When money allows it they may well choose another manager to take them to another level but that's in the future.Anyone remember Nigel Adkins? He was doing a great job at Southampton most people thought. He got sacked and the now Spurs manager took over. The point is that Southampton must have thought they were ready to improve on what he had achieved. When WH get to that point they will say adios to BFS.

Alan Medic Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Sky can't show the 1st 15 minutes of RM v Barca. I suppose the reasoning is sound but really who is actually going to get out of a football ground and home or elsewhere between full time and 5.15 to watch a televised match?

As soon as I saw the line-up with two up front away from home I thought they'd have problems in midfield and that proved to be the case. Second half was a lot different when they brought Dzeko off. Terrific header by Sakho for the winner. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/159/#findComment-793149 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otta Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 You can't. Look at Liverpool, was last season about Rogers' tactocs and style, or just about Suarez?Is this season (so far) all about Rogers getting ot wrong, or about players not doing a job?I can't prove BFS doesn't deserve all the credit he'll no doubt take. And no one else can prove he does. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/159/#findComment-793279 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Medic Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I'm looking forward to United v Chelsea. Chelsea currently being the best team in the league but United having some exciting players. We could get stuffed, there could be goals and before ko you can always be hopeful of a surprise.

???? Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Tottenham Hotspur lol......lucky they picked up a very lucky 3 points off us or they'd be right in the relegation mix.

StraferJack Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I wonder if we Arsenal fans have become blind to Song's virtues?I was glad to see the back of him, didn't think he would work out at Barcelona and was glad we didn't resign himBut he DID have some great games for us and it is possible he is maturing as a person and able to tone down his more petulant side. West Ham's gain... Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/159/#findComment-793438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
