Yeah, he’s not going anywhere, nor should he be at this point.

But I also think it’s fine for WSM to have his view too.  And yes, he’s gone early, and we can all have a good laugh when he’s proved wrong, can’t we.  But what if WSM has got it right?

He cant lose can he

If he is wrong it means City are doing well

If he is right He can say "I told you so"

I have a feeling He wants it to be the latter

It’s an interesting debate as to who was/is the best all rounder in the last 60+years. There are several candidates, Richard Hadlee, Ian Botham, Freddy Flintoff, Jaques Kaliss, Ben Stokes, Kapil Dev, Colin de Grandhomme.

For me it would be Ian Botham.

Stats don’t come into it for me - mine is based on pure entertainment value.

That list is missing Imran Khan and Sobers

also

Freddy not in the same league as those others

Bazball was the greatest thing since sliced bread 2 Tests ago.

Against the poorer teams yes

But playing that type of cricket against the better sides 

you will lose more games than you win

Leave that type of cricket for the T20 stuff

This must be heading towards one of our heaviest  ever defeats by runs surely?

Yeah but it is bazball so its ok

Wonder how long real cricket fans will put up with losing test series to the better teams

in the name of entertainment 

Should have took so and so off

should have brought on A instead of B

C D and E should have been on from the start

and why is F even getting in the team

Wrong to play formation  x when y is much better for this squad

God football management is so so easy with hindsight

Would love a season in the prem

even if it was just to see the rubbish some would be posting on here

He was pretty bad penalty was so blatant amazed he gave it.

It was blatant but the ref couldnt of pointed to the spot any quicker

Im sure he pointed to the spot before the soton player had even hit the deck

Six weeks of having to the pub 

and putting up with the rugger fans

Every time there is a big tackle being told that if that was football he would be down for a month !!!

We can drink in the ground during the game because we are not hooligans etc etc

Assist for Andi 0-1

Wow 

When players get assist for that

is why that stat is total bl####ks

Forward made that goal out of nothing

There was not a goal scoring chance when the player received the ball

Here is one for the Gas to gloat about

The Gas have had more fans watching them at home this SEASON  ( 137,603)

Than we have had this YEAR   (122,198)

Dont tell them they have had 18 games  at home since the season started

We have had only 5 since new years day

The gap has nearly closed

Sorry but over 70% of goals in the EPL are not scored from turn overs of possession in the first third. 

Didnt say they were did i

I would question where you are getting your stats from. 

The top four in the division play forms of possession football. Burnley last season? Another yes. 

Three of the top four played that kind of football last season also

Look where that got them!!

Look at Burnley this season

There was a stat on opta showing that over 70% of goals scored in the prem over last few seasons

came from teams losing the ball in their own 3rd

Nail on head

We are trying to keep possession but we are absolutely shite at it

39% possession for a possession team 

Meanwhile we are forgetting our strengths of direct (not long ball) play which brought us so much success under Pearson 

It is not just us though

90% of teams cant do it 

The only teams i have seen win anything on a regular basis playing like this are Peps teams Man City and Barca

Most teams playing this type of football lose the ball in their own 3rd more often than they make chances to score

Stop ducking about and get the ball into the other half of the pitch Then start playing football

Sad day for boxing

The great Apollo Creed passing away RIP

The most corrupt/fixed tournament in football, it doesn’t surprise me!!

All kicked off around various parts of the ground after Wolves 2nd goal 

Players gone off and police struggling to regain order 

Derby day in the Black Country!

Prob the West Midland Police who started it

Just got in late from washing the car

Could somebody answer a question for me

Just turned the match on

Im sure the Red shirts of Liverpool do not clash with the famous Blue and white quarters of the Gas

So why are they playing in Yellow?

Have i missed something?

Just had a quick look

Since the new year we have had over 96,000 watching our 4 games

It has taken the Gas 14 games to get that many fans to turn up at their dump

Have they no shame?

It appears, at the behest of their new "Owner," they have resorted to selling "kids for a quid" and adults for a miserly £10.

I know they're desperate for money, but even for them, this is a step too far.

It seems doing anything immoral or illegal is okay with them.

So the Fewers/Rags/Squatters/Sags are now Traffickers as well.

Wonder what their next great (hopefully legal/moral) income-generating scheme will be?

"Hussain Al Seaweed and his team are prowed to announce our Back, Sack and Crack service, (delivered by the stunningly hirsute Irene and her team of toothless hags), our new Fungal Toenail pasty range, and our long-awaited verruca and acne-flavoured drinks (we guarentee they're out-of-date or your money back)"

 

 

 

Wow 

If any other club bar the Gas were doing £10 tickets and quid a kid

Posters on here would be up in arms slagging off our club and the Lansdowns for not doing the same

The gas give us more than enough to rip the sh#t out of them A bit harsh doing them for this

I’m sure someone could make some bullshit up and put it on a forum somewhere and everyone will believe it

We dont need to 

We are better than that

Sold out now , unless it’s a rovers type sell out

All we need to do now to be up there with the gas 

Is to get another 10k locked out the ground

All the stats thrown about on this thread show to me one thing

Be it Pearson in charge or Manning 

We are a bang average championship side Simple as that

We will win a few Lose a few

Mickey Mouse is having a nasty divorce with Minnie Mouse.

Mickey spoke to the judge about the separation.

"I'm sorry Mickey, but I can't legally separate you two on the grounds that Minnie is mentally insane..."

Mickey replied,

"I didn't say she was mentally insane,

I said that she's F****** Goofy!"

I remember the joke as

I did not say she was sha###g Pluto - I said she was F#####g Goofy

For the first 140 odd years of the FA Cup that was a great tackle

Season 2023/24 FA Cup wit VAR it is a red card 

I have to say imo the first 140 years got it right
