The Bard Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 3 hours ago, Cole Not Gas said: Dont know what kind of world you live in; poor win ratio, leaves the club after 30 months without the ability to score goals, during his best season with W-S-M up front (none of whom he recruited) he coached us to concede 77 goals - that is seventy seven. Fans might sing; "you stole a wage, you stole a wage" **** off Brian 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 2 hours ago, ralphindevon said: That’s close to what happened at Leicester earlier this season. A tremendous reception whilst stood out on the pitch with his crutches. In hindsight his demise was probably already decided by then and seeing that applause and singing for him must have sat very uncomfortably with Jon and Brian. Wasn't he asked to step aside after that game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Leeds by all accounts. 15 minutes ago, ralphindevon said: No I think it was after Cardiff a month later. Asked to go after Leeds. Told them they would have to sack him. Waited for the defeat to Cardiff. Cowardly b******s. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Was such a stitch up just thinking about it.. I know we all know it but it is horrible and disgraceful as well as wrecking our season at bare minimum. *11 players injured including but not limited to Pring at CB, Sykes at LB and an untried youth player at RB. We lost but in spirited fashion. Injuries were spiralling too. *Tricky run- included Leeds Away and Ipswich Home, Cardiff Away when in recent form. Coventry at Home started terribly but big spending and Playoff finalists. Next 2 games included bottom Sheffield Wednesday Home (1 win and 1 away point all season), QPR 2nd bottom Away (1 Home win in 10 months). Norwich who has a terrible Away record at Home, Huddersfield and Blackburn Away. Yes we had a reasonable run of fixtures...and injuries clearing a bit. Seemed to be going okay though up until the end of the year..15 pts 10, reasonable defensively and 36 from 25 all-in. Maintaining the level at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 ...it crossed my mind as to whether NP will be used as a pundit on any channel, covering our next match against Leicester. I really hope he is...and let's a few home truths out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 It was discussed on another thread , he was supposed to do Southampton (I think) but he wasn't well enough . Jason Euel took his place . So , if he's well enough it could happen. I'd like to see it. Could be interesting. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Would be interesting but his silence since has guaranteed an NDA was in place so we are only going to hear analysis over blunt truths unfortunately 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red panda Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I get where everyone is coming from. But we often seem to play better against decent teams, and when we're on TV, and Leicester have had a bit of a wobble (only 4 points from their last 5 games - almost as bad as us!). Do we really want to listen to Nigel discussing how well we played, how expertly Manning set us up, and so on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and 4 times as many telling them to shut the eff up). Yes if he'd been sacked the next day there would have been a few grumbles on here but most including the infamous 'cult of nige.'

The real cult is the “anyone but Nige” mob, exactly the people who advise us to careful what we wish for which is slightly ironic. Nobody wished for the current results and performances that’s for sure!! They started all this and now seem to be missing.

All with their, 'I can see what he's doing, ' love all the extra shots on target.' ' Definately see green shoots' Where are they now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Nigel looking very relaxed and appearing in good health in the Sky studio. Perhaps he`s got his back issues sorted = hope so anyway. 11 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderJar Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Did anybody enjoy, as much as I did, the rendition of, "Sky TV is ****ing sh*te" closely followed by Sky TVs theme music for the darts? I love football fan hypocrisy, dating back to the seventies when "Red flag" was accompanied by Nazi salutes. Marvellous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Wouldn't that be irony rather than hypocrisy? I doubt it was being sung because it was the darts theme tune and I doubt too many even know that's what it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect most know the tune from the darts rather than from 'Chase the Sun' by Planet Funk. Edited March 31 by CiderJar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been sung as a tune at AG for ages, probably around most football grounds. I would be prepared to bet that less than 1% of the people singing it are doing so because they like darts on Sky.
