Because Brighton are in and around us it’s more important not to lose, we really need to approach this like muff away. With Ighalo bound to star for united against us and then automatically bending over for Liverpool to keep their run alive it’s a must win. Funny how we’ve come so dependant on Sarr, not long ago he wasn’t given the time of day by lots on here and was a waste of money. I hope he plays but early reports are he won’t be risked. Also going in to the winter break it’s even more important to get those 3 points. Must win end of, get above wet spam and villa and have some positivity on here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I had this debate with friends at work just today. I conceded West Ham were worse, as they spend so much build hopes and also fail.
I guess @Lloyd 's point was there are about 70 other teams in the league that fit the mould of what you consider makes us the most the most frustrating team. They feel the same as us. I'm not sure why you feel the need to attack him. I'm not sure why this forum is so aggressive all the time and unable to debate like normal people do in normal life. It is a real turn off to be honest.
Can I just build on this by suggesting we leave a giant turd in the middle of their changing room floor before the game?
Is the match on Classic FM? I've stayed clear of football talk since 5pm Saturday. JS Bach 0 Mozart 0.
Going to have to start grinding out results Nigel. The bulldog spirit. "they don't like it up em" Bish bash bosh. Av it!!!!! Come on you Orns 1-0 Brighton written all over it.
**** off you ******* *** ******* ** *****. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
Moscow Dynamo fan Shostakovitch wrote a football-related ballet suite called the Age of Gold. A Russian team goes to the US to take part in a tournament but the cheating capitalist bastards do everything they can to thwart them. There's match rigging and police harassment, and the team gets thrown into prison. They're only released when the local workers rise up to support them. If only we'd do the same for Russian sporting heroes nowadays. What about it, Clive?
If I was TD (and maybe I am ?) I wouldn't want to hold my breath waiting for WFC forum members to rise up in support ....
That season was a particularly spectacular coming off of the wheels. Top in November to not even making the playoffs at the end.
The idea, as suggested by Leventhal in the Athletic, that Sarr might be passed fit for this but 'saved' for Utd is absolutely laughable. We need points NOW, and we are a lot more likely to get them against Brighton than Utd. He'll also need to build up his fitness if he wants to star in an unlikely double over Utd, as the hierarchy are apparently fantasizing about. It would be so incredibly us to be in almost the worst position possible, on the ropes having shamed ourselves multiple times in recent memory, only to display the arrogance of resting a player for a more important game. If he's fit, he's fit, and if he's got half an hour in him, put him on the ******* pitch.
Does the concourse still stay open after the game? **** trying to get a train straight after full time.
It would be, except that wasn't what he said at all. Would you like me to post the exact quote, or do you want to keep on wailing for a little while?
Win or bust. I don’t get the (possible) logical of leaving a returned to fitness Sarr out, especially with a break after. It’s time to roll the dice.
"The Athletic has learnt that his hamstring injury may have recovered in time for the match against Brighton but he may not be risked until the visit to Old Trafford after the 15-day winter break." (Adam Leventhal - The Athletic) I think that there is a worry that Sarr may break down again (with the hamstring injury) if he is brought back too soon. There is less risk if he is not brought back until the visit to Old Trafford, but it is an important game at Brighton (which Watford probably have a greater chance of winning than at Old Trafford) and Sarr could make the difference.
I'd take a Sarr walking around the pitch occasionally kicking the ball over Success running like a headless chicken around it.
The season started with 15 games unbeaten, with 12 wins and 3 draws (we actually went 17 unbeaten following a very rare away point at Boro and a win over Coventry to finish the previous season). Some suggested (I think it was quoted from one of the players, Mooney?) that the team lost their appetite for the promotion race following their humbling by Man Utd's reserves in the League Cup, feeling that it was just going to be more of the same of 1999/00, but I find it hard to excuse that attitude given that even a Man Utd 2nd XI was streets above most teams in the PL and we already had a better team than that of the previous season and were only going to strengthen it with the money we had from parachute payments if we went straight back up. A second possible reason, and this won't be a popular opinion, was that GT had simply gone stale as a manager - his record, virtually beyond criticism up to then, was very poor during the millennium, we never looked close to staying up following the home Liverpool game and the signing of Heidar and only picked up one away point during the last 11 Prem games (and that in the last away game), and he did nothing of note and was unpopular with the fans during his brief second spell at Villa. Even the unbeaten run at us papered over some cracks, like awful home performances in the League Cup, lucky wins at the start of the season, and throwing away a two goal lead at an average Wolves.
12 wins and 3 draws in 15 games didn't suggest he'd gone stale ? It was really odd how it turned that Autumn , there must have been an issue behind the scenes.
As a footnote to this, the 39 points from from the first 15 games were directly followed by just 1 point from the next 8, culminating in the horrendous 5-0 thrashing at a bitterly cold Craven Cottage. Baffling.
