Interview, comes across well- 

 

Thought he sounded like he'd been on the bongs myself. But no problem there. The best player on my sunday league team does exactly that before each game and then smashes 5 goals in

Same here...DOH!

Shouldn't that be.....DOUGH!

Option A: Achnowledge and facilitate the attempt to improve the atmosphere while reaching out in good will to affected fans

Option B: Try to shut it down, no improved atmosphere, indignant fans and most likely, disgruntled season ticket holders having to endure "Ultras" continuing their attempts

And presumably if someone came round your house and smashed all your windows your only thought would be of profound gratitude to the glazier for coming quickly to board them up?

I wouldnt just sit there in the cold with my kids either if someone was offering to fix the windows. Especially if offered some new fancy double glazing. Im 100% against people taking other peoples seats. People should respect seat numbers on tickets. Im talking about those season ticket holders who just dont want to be around a rowdy bunch of Billy Big Bollox laaaaads who want to give it the bigun. Dont have it infront of me but pretty sure the block A seats are cheaper than others coz of the restricted view. There cant be that many season ticket holders in there. Could the club seriously not make them an offer of some seating with an improved view at no cost. Would cost the club very little. That way most ( not everyone) will be relatively happy instead of the way its going where everyone will be pissed off with the outcome.

Indeed you are

Where do you sit? Would you like it? What about those who sit with family or friends?

Sit Where your ticket says, after all, YOU CHOSE IT!!!!!

If i had a season ticket in block A and now wasnt enjoy it there I'd honestly think fair play to the club for offering an alternative.

A bit unfair?

Im not saying they should be forced to move, but offered the option to if they want

I cant see this ending well. Could the club not offer to relocate block A season ticket holders who want out? Bit unfair on them I know as they were there first but if the objective is to create another singing section it has to go somewhere

Looks like the line up most of us wanted. Can't have any moans about that surely?

Line up announced at 7.47pm,  2 minutes late. Shambolic. Pearson out!

Good advice. 

Different opinions are absolutely fine - those based on evidence or, failing that,  logic.

But those based on crass fuckwittery, a basic misreading of the evidence that leads to 2 + 2 equalling anything but 4, tends to get my goat.

As social media is, by and large, a megaphone for morons, I'll have to agree it's probably not the place for me. But you'll have to excuse me, I'm off to argue with a poster who believes Pearson hasn't improved performances, despite the evidence indicating we frequently went entire matches under his predecessor without a single shot on goal or corner, our possession stats were risible and games felt like the siege of the alamo. Whereas now...

Evidence, facts, reliable data, that's what I'm interested in. I appreciate that's not what social media is about. 

PS. Your hypothesis is still horseshit

Its not 2 + 2 = anything but 4 though is it. Football aside, many people think Pearson is an arrogant, petulant ***** with a massively inflated opinion of himself. Is it really such a massive leap to think some of the players have the same view?

No, no and no.

All available evidence suggests the opposite.

Absolutely incredible how you could even hypothesise such nonsense out of thin air.

His man management of players is his strength. Have you not heard any Leicester players talk about him? Why do you think Matty James came here when he would have better paid offers elsewhere? Or King for that matter. Where is the evidence any of our players aren't putting the effort in for him? How come players he's dropped have come back into the team and performed well? Where the hell do people get this shit from? **** me. 

Have you watched any of our recent games? Do they look well motivated? 

I respect your view. If you find it so hard reading other peoples opinions i'd have a think about whether internet forums are the place for you

And your evidence is???

"My theory is....." Just a hypothesis. We have all seen the way he can act when grumpy and in my opinion his personality will on occasions work against him. 

In the same way we've all seen him enjoy belittling journalists in public if he's having a bad day, you can imagine him doing the same behind the scenes with the players. He has a strong squad and should be doing better. My theory is that privately a lot of the players simply dont like him, especially once he starts with the hissy fits. I see it as more of a man management problem than a financial one.

Wow...didn't realise that. That would have been even more of a talking point than the Japanese winter last night!

Indeed. Although Tokyo almost down to 6 degrees yesterday!! 

Huge respect he showed to the fans by refusing to play against Tottenham. The man's a bellend

Any news on his injury? Havent seen anything

He seems to only have one way of shooting, head down and smash it as hard as physically possible which usually results in him wellying it over the bar. Reminds me of my playing days. 

Shame really because apart from the 2 mistakes for the goals think we've looked good

Impressive stats, but you can tell @Davefevs if he's watching i'm still fighting for this emoji title and he's got to go to the politics forum and get something, and i'll tell you honestly, i will love it if i beat him, love it!

Okay…

You’ve received 581 laugh reactions in 5591 posts, so a tittering average of 0.1 laughs per post

He’s received 1372 laugh reactions in 3935 posts, so a roaring average of 0.3 laughs per post.

You said, and I quote, “I would be willing to bet my stats on replies and reactions are better than yours pro rata”. They’re not. Either on the collective or on your revised laugh metric.

As to what it’s got to do with me? Frankly nothing. But I hate people making a statement on an absolute basis when it can be proven as false. All I’m doing is fact checking. If you don’t like that, don’t make claims that can be checked.

I bet my emoji stats are way better than yours, Silvio. 

In the absence of football can we set up an emoji stats league

I know what he was doing, if you thought it was humorous well we obviously have very different ideas of what is funny. 

Honestly i'm confused. What was he doing other than making an innocent joke? 

Christ I hope the football returns quickly

If that was, I hope an attempt at humour I'm afraid it has spectacularly failed, and why you gave me a Hmm reaction is beyond me. I have a feeling a lot of people will agree it was in very poor taste.

Has humour also been cancelled for today? Lighten up

I remember when we took a tidy little firm to watch Les Miserables. Stormed the rear mezzanine during the curtain call. Carnage it was
