    We failed to get out of groups with Fergie in charge. We should have sacked him then right?

    Progress me h**e. 7th to 4th to a title race. Yes thats progress, undeniable progress.

    All my FACTS mean NOTING, dumbest statement of the yeah right here. Unless this is satire your very unintelligent.

    Leicester false leaders??? We hammered them didn't we ?? Arsenal destroyed us . Failed to score in 4 of our last 6 home games.
    Take a look in the mirror re intelligence

    Answer my question if we get knocked out tomorrow how do you evaluate it. Or will it be UEFAs fault for not giving LVG more points because we had more bloody possession than psv???

    Yes false leaders, its an easy concept to grasp for most people (tough for you apparently). False as in they are not serious title contenders in it for the long haul, they will drop off soon.
    We hammered them didn't we ??
    No we drew 1-1 against them. ???? I never claimed we beat them, as that would be stupid because it didn't happen. Why did you ask if we beat them when you know we didn't, fairly illogical and stupid question there mate.
    if we get knocked out tomorrow how do you evaluate it
    If we get knocked out it will be dissapointing as it was whenever you get knocked out of any competition. Why do you need something so basic explained? do you think i want us to get get knocked out? do you think any fans wants this?

    We have no chance of winning the UCL anyway but I would like us to go as far as possible and have a match against a big side, thats about out lot for the UCL this year if we go through.

    How did you evaluate it when we went out of the UCL under Fergie? how will you evaluate it if we go through? how will you evaluate going out of the UCL but winning the league?

    People do want him gone. Only have read after match posts and you will fund more then couple

    Not saying I totally disagree, but just think he deserves till end of season

    Ya. Bangkok and kstand wanted him out after the match.
    Think it was only them, I didn't read te match thread.

    They are ahead of everyone???

    Should City, Arsenal and everyone else sack their manager.

    Its not surprising that the reactionary ones continually say the stupidest things.

    Very few are calling for the sack, you need to stop with the insults.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,889 ✭✭✭✭The Moldy Gowl


    What's the matter with discounting Leicester from the title race?
    Seems fair?

    If they can be top after 25 games and keep it going, maybe we can count them.

    Do any of ye actually believe this?
    Doubt it.

    If he has any balls at all then LVG should resign if he cannot get us out of the group given all money he has spent.

    On the contrary, if he resigned mid season it would show he has no balls at all. Won't happen though so get over it.

    Good thing you have it sorted with the tactics of spending money and having a utd crest will win games.
    Good thing sport is so easy.

    very good chance City have Pep lined up for the summer - so they aren't happy with their manager.

    A lot of Arsenal fans feel it is time for Wenger to move on.

    Spurs feel they are making progress.

    Liverpool DID sack their manager.

    Chelsea will probably give Jose a bit more time given his record with them.

    Any of the pro lvg contributors answer me a few questions?

    1 do you enjoy watching the team play?

    2 what in your opinion has lvg done really well?

    3 which players has played to their potential since he took over?

    4 in your opinion has he done good business in the transfer windows?

    Thanks.

    Nothing at all wrong with this. Read an article on F365 where they called writing off Leicester as an example of the glass ceiling mentality of football, haves versus have nots. Ridiculous notion. Football is the ultimate meritocracy and you get rewarded with that level of respect when you actually win something, not by being top in December.

    They can be the people's champion all they want, which is nice. I'm sure they will get a few more fans or people playing with them on FIFA or football manager.

    If people swapped Chelsea and Leicester, no one would care.
    They have been the most in form team for the last 7 months but will they be able to be top in February.
    Would be fairy tale stuff, but soccer is cruel.

    1. Its not the most enjoyable football, downright boring in some matches, Saturday was good minus us getting a goal we were creative.

    2. Steadied the ship and has us back in the UCL, title race, controlling games and sorted the defense.

    3. Smalling, Shaw until his injury, Martial, Herrera and DDG. A lot of out of form players need to step up, Rooney, Depay (good saturday)

    4. Good but not perfect. I like who he has brought but RVP and Chico went to early, we needed a CB i thought but he has worked a very good defense without one.

    Van gaal is gone after next season anyway. If the right manager is available in the summer van gaal should be replaced, if it's all the long term plan yer are all talking about


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,775 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    So we are level on points with City, one point behind Arsenal and to make matters worse the sky is falling down...

    Masterplan.... Seriously?

    Leicester city are ahead of us ffs

    Leicester City are ahead of everyone, so is your point that everybody else is ****ed and should be sacking their managers? Bye bye Wenger, Mourinho (doing considerably worse) and Pellegrini etc? Pochettino, Koeman, Martinez?
    Klopp gets a pass obviously as he is only in the job a short time.

    why call them false leader when they are there on merit playing much better football than us??

    I mightn't see eye to eye with you on a few things but spot on there. Fully deserve to be on top and playing fantastic football. Even when 2-0 down, they can threaten to win.

    Regardless calling Leicester false leaders in incorrect. They are leaders on points and merit. Nobody is claiming they are Champs elect.

    False leaders is a stupid term. The real point is that we should be looking to keep pace with the favourites, not the pace setters who will burn out along the way.

    Yeah. I wouldn't shed tears if we got someone good next summer and lvg walked by himself. I do feel at the end of the season, the team will be very well set up and placed well for the next few seasons.

    That dosent mean I want him gone right now becuase I can see past the next few months and him leaving now would be set the team back further.

    Don't get me wrong, I think what they have done so far is amazing, full credit and they 100% deserve it.

    When I say false I don't mean they are fake or its undeserved, rather its an anomaly, a once off, not a fluke becuase they have worked for it but they don't have the experiece or know how to see out a title race and take it home.

    False in the sense of a false positive, like if that if it was City there now people would have the favourites and expect them to win it, it paints a false picture that Leicester are capable of genuinely winning and are proper title contenders.

    Thats what I mean by it.

    Some seriously sandy vaginas in here over the last few days.

    Things aren't all rosey but they also aren't as bad as some would have one believe.

    Its somewhere in the middle, ie we aren't playing well most of the time but are still right in the title mix, I will take that for the time being.

    If the end of the season comes and we don't make a half decent attempt at the league or if we fall outside the top four then it will be time to crack open each others heads and feast on the goo inside.

    I think we should be pace setters on keeping up with the pace setters tbh.

    Hopefully Schneiderlin's injury isn't too bad or we're looking at a Carrick and Fellaini midfield for a few games.
