Tommy docherty was advised by a scout to sign a player. The scout said this guy doesn’t know the meaning of the word defeat. Several months later the scout rang to check on the players progress. Tom docherty replied you’re right he doesn’t know the meaning of the word defeat and I’ll tell you three other words he doesn’t know the meaning of pass , shoot and dribble.

I agree give the guy a chance. I saw him a couple of times in the championship and he didn’t look out of his depth. He may make a mistake or two but what the hell mowbrays entire system is littered with it. Get him In the team and on the pitch and let’s take it from there. We are never going to sign the finished article so if he’s good enough for the endless rolling contracts then he deserves a chance.

The most sublime performance speedie first leg play offs derby

Martin dahlin Everton away was a shocker. Id been to a wedding and convinced people to come to watch. We sat in the obscured view area at goodison all I can say is thank the Lord. It was appalling

My three Dickson ethu just collected money and it appears corrupt,Bradley Orr the biggest wanker ever that is whether he is a cheat or not and finally Danny Murphy not has bad has the other two but is the poster boy for our end.( hull away was the worst individual performance I’ve ever seen).

My first games where at the end of the 60s but Metcalfe was an integral part of all the old hard men teams . Jim smiths and Kendall. Great player from great times. RIP

I’ll give you an almost guaranteed bet. That next season with Mowbray in charge we’ll be having the same discussion. It’s a Mercer bet a fine red.

This division requires one thing that is a good manager

Saxton , don mackay,Jim Smith, Howard Kendall all made more from what they had but we are back at square one and it makes you feel a bit sick when with a bit of astute stuff we where a solid prem team

The games not finished but we are back to a slightly worse 1980s team. An average old lag manager surrounded by a group of old lag players. A sprinkling of youth players who 15 years ago would have got nowhere near the team. Add to that the loaners that previously we never needed. It’s really just very depressing with no light at the end of the tunnel. Our only chance would be a great manager but this ones going nowhere.

Do goalkeepers no longer just catch the ball. It always just bounces of Walton

That one paragraph hits the nail on the head. No pace, no purpose just possession. It just difficult to describe it has a style of play.

It looks like Samuel is going to be offered a new contract

We didn’t lose it here with davenport we lost it at Wigan and Barnsley. This was a big chance to get out. Could be worse I suppose. Fuck it let’s get drunk.

Has a manager he is useles. Scrap that he’s a football genius
