4 wins in 27 games It was inevitable
Probably. And I STILL don’t think the football was all that bad. Results were bad, granted. So, I suppose, given that it didn’t look like changing any time soon…[/quote]
It was the interview I saw on the Latics site – later edited, which tells a story in itself – after the Bolton game that did it for me. His body language was all wrong and him admitting to not knowing how to change things, well it was inevitable really.
There’s an interview with this guy in the Metro paper today who says his new book has this quote in from Xavi.“Of the 95% of people who love football, only 2% understand it”
Does he read this board??
I’m surprised he thinks it’s as high as that…!
38 posts on this thread and not one mentions the shocking defensive mistakes of late. Three goals scored against Fulham and Sunday league defending costs us three points. Pub team defending second half against Bolton, when we were unlucky not to have a half-time lead, cost us that game.
For all the valid arguments about Rosler’s confusing formations and striker options the real problem is our centre-backs. Barnett and Kiernan either as a partnership or with anyone else is no basis on which to build a team that has any aspirations of challenging for promotion.
Then he was asked what else he could do and he answered “I don’t know”, which is a bit worrying, granted.That’s the bit that worried me too.
He also said in that same interview, “We just folded altogether. And for that I have no understanding whatsoever.”
No doubt he was angry, upset and frustrated but hardly the words of someone who believes he is in command of the situation in which he finds himself.
Interestingly both the above comments are no longer included in the post match
interview I saw.I was watching Latics when you were still a glint in your father’s eye bicky and probably before that. That doesn’t make me a better supporter than you …
No, but it must make you about 90, at least. Bicky’s 75!![/quote]
He should start acting like it then…![/quote]
Anyway, where’s this book I so richly deserve?
Two thank yous and two endorsements is enough to win it and then I can give it to somebody I don’t like…!

the total opposit
yes i do take piss but ive watched this club for a while through thick and thin seen chairmen and managers come and go
traveld all over the country non league and through the league been on at springfield when only a thousand on
when i see shyte i know its shyte and who is shyte
after seeing likes of bill kenyon and so on and i get annoyed seeing what is going on
at the club
so how about you sammy you a johnny come latley type or like me one of the old school ?I was watching Latics when you were still a glint in your father’s eye bicky and probably before that. That doesn’t make me a better supporter than you or anybody else for that matter but what it does do is give me a more mature and less reactionary view of the club and its current predicament considering where it started from and what it has achieved.
To suggest “in the league he (Martinez) was a complete fukwit total shyte” is utter bollocks given the circumstances under which he was expected to keep the club in the Premier League.
for me has been our best player this season but question ,has he ever saved a penalty ? cos he never seems to get anywhere near one .Not that I can remember.
Andy Liddell would be my chosen penalty taker if it was to save my life and I would like Scott Carson to be the goalkeeper he was facing.
ok then in the league he was a complete fukwit total shyte
that better ;)No he wasn’t and I can’t be arsed going to the trouble of explaining to you why.
Hey gruff still happy with tonight’s game?
Some positives I suppose….. But can’t think of anyI thought Barnett was woeful and if Roger Espinoza is still the answer then somebody seriously needs to tell me what the question is. Utter garbage last night that lad.[/quote]
Can we give a dishonourable mention to Huws and Kiernan in this department too please? Having a go at the manager about his tactics and team selection is fair enough but when you have players turning in individual woeful performances as bad as these guys did last night, you have to sympathise just a little with him.[/quote]
Barnett, whilst never being the most elegant of players, appears to have “gone” and Kiernan is out of his depth at this level.
Poppy day ceased to represent what it should represent, not so coincidentally, a few years ago when it was highjacked by the government and media and turned into emotional, patriotic symbolism to brainwash the public into believing that sending young men to be maimed and killed for no good reason is somehow justified. Help for Heroes is another example of this.
James McClean was exercising his right tonight to free thought and expression by choosing not to wear a poppy on his shirt. That would be the same rights those men for which the poppy is supposed to represent fought and died to preserve.
