The mix of knowledgable fans and a sensible pro (Which CH is) is a good blend Other than his opening comment on LM I couldn’t disagree with that much he said , he’s clearly not greatly impressed I noticed he was quick to say yes , as a pro you can be quickly overloaded with information and instruction and how it can affect your game Now we might think that would / could be the case but an example of where an ex pro’s opinion is always interesting

Has ridiculous qualities Numero Quite bizarre and ridiculous balance , ability to change direction and glide with the ball Possibly as a consistent outrageously good first touch as I’ve ever seen Very intelligent footballer Good Finisher from inside or outside the box , either foot and even the odd header Unselfish Works his a**e off , going both ways , pretty brave for a slight lad absolutely mesmerising to watch Seems a good lad and does it all with a big smile on his face I quite like him

@TomSutton

I was only thinking last night , if you could only watch the performance of one current player every week , only one , who would you go with For me , and has been for some time, it’s Foden Very rarely has the phrase ‘The Beautiful game’ been so more apt

Which he basically ignored and stuck to a ‘what can be done to improve under LM questions’ Well done mate - and on the subjects raised and questions asked - The other lad was sensible but you absolutely came across as having the best understanding and explanations , and far more than the ex pro

It is difficult though KITR , I’ve been on before and you have points you’d like to talk about , but the host / presenter has his questions and subjects and in a very limited time you either hope you are asked a question where you can talk about a certain subject or you derail the show by ignoring the question , and talking about something you want to talk about? The presenter was pushing away from criticism about LM as it was Theres probably only one man that would be so rude to derail and talk abou what he wants to ! If they are going to have fans and CH / GO on , especially sensible ones , they need to use the full hour otherwise it’s a quick answer & q to the presenters questions

Will appear on here once program finishes https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03f5j50/episodes/player

He volunteered the statement Spud It wasn’t in response to any awkward question I like CH but if he was determined to raise a positive it was IMO a very strange one , and a bad one Came across excellently @Davefevs

Chris Honour states he likes how open and honest LM is Ehhhhhhhh ???? wtf

Go Fevs

Interesting that you raise that word Young @TomSutton talked about arrogance, from the hierarchy and tbh until that point I’d not really thought about this angle or label You are both right IMO and in fact arrogance is IMO a large part of the problem here They saw everything pretty hunky dory , ( except having to put up with the Oaf ) and it was time to get rid of the Oaf , and the next step was merely an appointment away under their new vision and under BTs football direction , because they knew better The injuries and players schedules .....they knew better (Brian , Jon...psssst..... you’ve overlooked the fact that we looked stable and moving forward and pretty hunky dory because of NP and his team and the plan everyone was working to.) Change the playing ethos , no problem , destabilise the whole playing side , no problem Arrogance Severely ill judged Arrogance

Are you the ‘Benney’ ’ who has being commentating on the texts of recent pods ?

With the complete and utter nonsense he continually delivers , no great surprise that you don’t get it , like looking in the mirror eh ..............Are you his brother ? Son ?

What’s that got to do with Fevs post

Players ‘Disengaged’ / ‘unconvinced’ , / not buying in Maybe ?

His ‘CV’ isn’t really up too much when you actually look at it ( @Silvio Dantehas maintained this all along) You could suggest its not only not particularly comforting but is actually flawed

Amazing how he attracts so much grief eh Ran from here , blocking everyone on X Might be to do with the complete nonsense he loudly shouts and the completely obnoxious and embarrassing way he behaves

Simple Fact Dave we are 22nd out of 23 in the form table since Boxing Day The only side worse All but relegated Rotherham Time to wake up and open your eyes with due respect

Id encourage all to listen to the FBC pod that was done this morning I’ll leave each to decide who makes important and significant points in the debate and whether it affects your opinion It did mine

Well.....that was a very entertaining and spicy watch ! On the pod and in the texts alongside it Very good @headhunter Thought you kept it running and moving excellently. @NcnsBcfc consistently good and thought provoking points always with explanation Your point about the Crowley Bros was particularly thought provoking and just about everything you said across the pod was just about spot on You were only probably edged out for content by @TomSutton who , made some brilliant points , brilliantly and calmly explained , the points about players current mentality and the danger of sliding / sleepwalking into a relegation scrap , with the wrong mentality and spirit was a brilliant one And his succinct assessment of LMs performance here towards the end - brilliant Take a bow Tom - really good and interesting , thought provoking , to listen to Id recommend to all - it’s a really interesting listen at times Lastly Mr Gay , his behaviour and rudeness has no boundaries , and I’m not sure whether it’s more cringeworthy, hilarious or embarrassing to see but his desperate Spluttering twists on anything and everything to defend LM (and slate anything Pearson ) is not only embarrassingly desperate but completely weird For the loudest voice who constantly loudly overtalks and interrupts others who shall listen while he talks or shouts , as he is ......the guru ....... two little things Firstly you may notice that at no point to the various scenarios @headhunter put to him about what he would do regarding LM did he actually give an answer as the Sutton’s did , he deflected and waffled , no danger of him actually answering the question And his actual football knowledge and understanding - a insignificant point , but ‘Stick two on the posts it may save a goal’ A explanation on the pod by young Tom and a text from @Davefevs highlighted two significant reasons why that’s a opinion with zero context or understanding and his footballing guru expertise (Nil) The final outcome , in terms of behaviour , intelligence and understanding certainly football wise , the delivery and explanation of points , you were absolutely schooled by a young lad man @TomSutton It was Premier League v Wessex League Mr Gay

What an incredibly rude , jumped up , ignorant little man Mr Gay is @headhunter again , great hosting (You've really kicked on to another level with that skill ) But the part I’ve just listened too when Mr Gay is on one desperately fighting criticism of LM and you politely ask him several times to hold as you wanted to move onto somebody else , he just keeps talking louder and louder over the top of you until you have to back off and he can continue. Rude and ignorant doesn’t even touch it and not sure why you tolerate it tbh The pod would be far far better without having to suffer him At least we know why he felt short of breath yesterday , there’s probably not that much spare oxygen when it’s stuck up the HCs rectum

Dave I have great respect for you as someone who clearly travels as many miles as probably anyone who supports the Club. But you don’t like any whiff of criticism , (Although you weren’t so supportive of NP) and sorry , but if the Club served up a s**t sandwich for you , you would point out that it at least came with salad

Missed this post in the flurry of threads and posts today What a brilliant post The whole debacle brilliantly summarised and nailed in two paragraphs

Revealing 8 points clear of bottom 3 after 14 games 5 points clear of bottom 3 after 34 games Sort of tells its own story there Definitely not a great sign of any sort of progress or even stability wouldn’t you say

If they pressed the panic button / emergency exit with LM (Which they won’t) AK till the end of the season , with an open mind about anything to follow would be fine with me (Which they wont)
