has A manager ever joined a club and done so badly? Weren’t they top 4 when he came in and then won 1 since ? couldn’t make it up!

80% of the population ? I think you’re being a bit dramatic. -

Or a distraction from other things going on maybe? -
Really? That’s exactly the sort of thing that would get posted here too

No, it shows the mindset of one rovers fan. We’ve got our own idiots remember

Do we just say this every time a club goes under, until the next time? Nothing’s changing within football and if anything the spending/gambling on promotion is getting more reckless

I dont think we're ones to comment about performances against Sunderland

Not dodgy at all signing those 2 McKay lads... ?

I agree. I'll leave the debate about him being part of our downfall this season to the other threads. He deserves thanks for steadying the ship and being a part of our title winning season, and regardless of how its turned out he at least deserved a "thanks for your service" from the club. I bet LJ gets more when he finally goes!

Had the game been played on Tuesday we wouldnt have known any different!

ELO; No not the group but 'World Football Rankings'
MarcusX replied to havanatopia's topic in Football Chat
When was the last time England lost a competitive game to a team below them in the rankings? im sure Uruguay were above us going into the last WC. We didn't lose at the euros, 2010 Germany must have been above us? So I make it Ukraine in 2009. weve lost some friendlies that we shouldn't have, but so do other countries. Look at Spain. Terrible WC campaign as defending champions and lost to Slovakia in qualifying. Ultimately we are a top 10 team that will beat most teams we play until we get to the later stages of a tournament. -

Why? Some will argue you can name 10 teams better than England but based on what? Their style of play? Their top players? Their results? Belgium are currently ranked number 2 - they are hugely over rated. They haven't beaten anyone worth raving about, cant even credit them for beating France as they are poor now. Only 2 teams have beaten us in a competitive fixture since Germany trounced us 5 years ago. Last years WC was a farce, but I still think we are a top 10 team at least. We are certainly better than Romania, Belgium, Chile and Wales, regardless of what those rankings might say, though I'd accept that Italy and Spain would still be above us and possibly Netherlands (along with the other teams that are above) -
In fact il go one better, alchohol clearly clouded my judgement of the game because I didn't realise quite how much we dominated possession and chances (according to the stats on sky). In my defence, when you are 2-0 down in a bar full of Leeds scum, you need to drink a LOT to get through it. I still have concerns over the 3-5-2 in this league, but it's clear to see the fight and team spirit exists, and that's worth a lot!

Wouldn't be so bad if it was actually funny.
