A panic January buy to `get us over the line` and respond to criticism from fans in recent years when we hadn`t done that. If we`d have played him how we should have I`m sure he would have been more of a success. I don`t buy all the `doesn`t want to be here` crap, it`s just his natural manner (remember Brett Pitman was just the same?).

Good luck Nahki wherever you end up.

Absolutely this.

Nicky Morgan. What a player.

Shit politician though.

If we have to move Wells on to trim the wage budget, that's fine. A shame, but fine.

No way should we get rid of him for footballing reasons, despite what the experts on here think.

Nahki Wells has had a similar problem to Weimann here. Up until Pearson's tenure, he was usually asked to play wide. 

Pearson realises that both need to be played through the middle. That is not particular praise for Pearson, a moron could see it, but our previous 'managers' didn't.

Weimann has started most (if not all) games this season through the middle. He has got 20 goals.

Given the career scoring records of the two, how many do you think Wells would get, afforded the same chance?

Thankfully, unlike a lot on here, Pearson does seem to like Wells. 

So do I. And I hope we can find a way for him to stay.

I can’t think of any player that has left us for bigger things and would have regretted it.  There must be one or two I guess but then there are tons that are much better off playing at better clubs 

Micky Naynard?

Oh wait... it was all about his son's accent. 

As you were...

A few avowed Everton/BCFC fans too iirc.

A Jackie loving poster from a pub in the Whiteladies area springs to mind, plus WTFiGO? (What......ever happened to him?) said he used to go up there a few times a season.

Wonder what they make of the prospect of Everton visiting AG in the league next season?

The first one will be me.

I will be gutted. But I have actually never been to Goodison. The closest I have got was Anfield in 94.

It's high on my agenda before it is bulldozed. Looks like I may be in the away end!

I wonder if there will be incoming bids for him?

Surely there will be interest?

 

Cardiff will probably have a go.

Nope she didn't. She IE me, has enough on her plate without dealing with other twatty things like being accused of xyz because you've nothing better to do. 

We had words Saturday because you were being an antagonistic ***** and one day later, you continue to do the same. 

Not then me with the issue is it?

As per before I'll take my own advice because it is clear you'd rather continue to in the same vein. 

You did though, didn't you?

Can I just point something out…

@Akira stated “Ralph Milne springs to mind” as someone who he thought had used multiple usernames/accounts. He didn’t reference you, under your username, at all.

So, that being the case, and working on the basis you’re not Ralph Milne (clearly not literally, the blokes dead), why the intensely passionate defence/denial?

8 hours ago, Akira said:

@Silvio Dante exactly, but now I'll call it out. 

 

Invasion of privacy?

No no, just don't see why people push an agenda for X amount of time, then change their name, pushing same agenda, as make it out like 'wow, there's now loads calling for X person's head', trying to drum up whatever narrative they're trying to push. 

And you're a liar regarding name change/new account and have been called out on it previously, so let's not go down that road, or is it pure coincidence your letters stand for 'The artist formerly known as Ralph milnes left foot'? 

If you've got an opinion, great! Stick by your guns (and username) and own it, and when challenged, that's when a debate can be had. But if you get called out on it because you've had a vendetta against our current manager, because of us signing a player, which has triggered past experiences, then that needs to be owned aswell (and for the record, I wasn't happy with the signing either but I didn't want the manager to be ousted because of it). Since that signing, he can do no right, even when we win in some people's eyes.. 

 

She dropped a b*****k there, didn't she?

Absolutely busted.

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Any other manager would’ve been sacked by now!!

Lee Johnson wasn't.

The club need to back him to whatever extent is possible this summer. 

The problems at this club extend back throughout the whole of Lansdown's tenure. 

We have only had fleeting success when we have had managers that stand up to him, and the only one of those that he would accept that from was his mate Gary Johnson. 

Coppell saw what was going on and ran for the hills.

He stepped back long enough to let Dawe's man Cotterill get on with it until he couldn't help but interfere with the result that the best manager results-wise went absolutely fruit-loop.

He needs to finally learn. And he needs to do it right now. With Pearson he has someone in between the 'non yes man' that he loved and the 'non yes man' that he hated. He has given him three years to deliver and he needs to suck up the home truths and stick to it.

Someone with a grudge certainly 

Judging by his avatar he must be the wolf that Pearson beat the **** out of.

If I'm wrong then why are you still responding as if you are. 

Please leave me alone, ta

Don't reply and I will.

Ta.

I didnt its a euphemism. Please try again when you're not pissed off and taking your anger out on others 

You are 'assuming' that I am angry.

And you are wrong.

Just now, Tafkarmlf said:

Mate, its clear from that response you are presuming and assuming,. 

Ironically the thing you are doing is the same thing you are accusing me of. 

Just dont kick the cat on your way out, ey?

I wouldn't presume or assume that I don't care for animal welfare if I were you

No not at all, you've made an assumption, ignored any posts whatsoever and are now trying to use that as ammo. 

If you'd been arsed Ive not called for NP to be sacked in this thread, but you didnt

I'm sorry I can't help with your blinkers, angst and revisionism. 

You don't need to call for him to be sacked. You have expressed that 'opinion' often enough.

Now you are trying to stir up a revolution by implying that loads of others are suddenly now of the same 'opinion'.

There may well be a few more after today's performance, but I suspect hardly the sea change that you wish for.

Just now, Tafkarmlf said:

Is it? Do you want to double check that. 

Generally been positive with doubts check the match threads leave your assumptions at home. 

You have wanted Pearson out ever since he signed Danny Simpson and we all know it.

Cue a whine about me "telling you your opinion" again...

Ah, i see we're at the River in Egypt defence. 

Social media is actually well blowing up. 

I think what you are using and I respect that is Ostrich tactics. 

No one player made errors to blame today. Its on NP and according to the comments here and elsewhere the mood has definitely changed. 

 

That's a narrative that you have been pushing for months.

Relegation a certainty next season without a change.

No more excuses.

It's not a certainty though, is it?

No idea, someone who can do the basics 

We set up wrong first half, then didnt react after they had a player sent off. 

I suspect there's going to be loud calls for NPs head tonight. 

I suspect that I know who from.

You know it's a bad day when David Prutton gets the score right.

Sessegnon never looked like he wanted to be here (Kent !) and was a poor signing.

Not what I saw.

They were 3rd when he was sacked 2 points off the top, they are now 7th and 13 points off the top 

The remit of anybody given the Sunderland job in League One is to get promotion.

He didn't. 

Just like he didn't here.

It would intrigue the hell out of me - I’d love to see the difference without Ashton 

He didn't have Ashton at Sunderland.

And he still failed.

He wasn't bad for a 14 year-old.
