“Fans” that won’t support us if we get Allardyce

[Frang]

It's very odd that some are seeing hoofball and others are not. Given there are some bits of decent play (which frankly you'd expect given the players on show) the truth is probably somewhere inbetween but I have noticed an almost cult like refusal to accept we're playing long balls.

Just checking some stats it looks like (for the season in total) we are 18th in the league for total number of long balls with only Burnley and Brighton attempting more. Only Burnley seem to have played more inaccurate long balls than us.

hoofball is what KOEMAN was serving up. Hoofball at its longest.

how many times did we see.. pickford to Williams, Williams to keane....... keane after 5 seconds of looking on the ball, turns round and gives it to pickford, who launches it down the right in the hope of clavert-lewin winning the header , which 9 times out of ten went out of play.

that happened for almost the entirety of all our home games under koeman.

now some fans are calling sam's football, 'hoofball' ! its a joke right?

the pass and move 2nd goal on Monday was some of the best stuff weve played since Martinez first few months here

 

[Joey66]

Hyperbole, and nonsense.

That first half was turgid - how Snides sayed on the pitch as long as he did was a mystery he was a passenger!
One thing about Sam is he has fetched us luck the woodwork has saved us and pens galore never known us to have so much luck may it continue - but we have played one decent team as yet!

 

[MickA]

And yet, the majority on here have been doing their nut over backwards and sideways passes for years. Suddenly under Sam they are reduced in favour of a bit of forward passing and attempts at being more direct and suddenly that's wrong now.

No pleasing some is there.

True.

I'm calling his football hoofball yes, and it's not a joke as it's true. As for Koeman I agree, I thought his first season was extremely mixed with his biggest hoofball spell coming in his winter slump of 2016.

Were you crying when you wrote that?

A simple No would suffice.

I suppose Suarez wasn't a racist then eh?

Getting your Allardyce shirts printed while we talk mate?

Behave. He is what he is - you can acknowledge it and disregard it, which is fine, but to pretend he's a saint and innocent is ridiculous.

This place is going to be amazing if we lose on Saturday, look at these lines being drawn

Dry your pants & try to breathe.


Is Sam a racist?
Has he raped anyone?
Was he even charged with anything at all?
What would the charge be? He explained loopholes, which some clubs are clearly using. Loopholes that could be closed down if FIFA or EPL wanted to.

So what crime has he actually committed?

 

[Prevenger17]

I don’t think the football has even been that bad, Lou.

Hasn't been great tbf, but I wouldn't expect it to be considering what we've only recently been through. We've had passages of nice play, but overall, the results have been down to a bit more zip and purpose from our players rather than any noticeable improvement in style

You seem familiar mate

Wowzers.

From zero to one hundred there.

I'd have gone for something like - " would you buy a used car off this man "

There's always a "shake out " in December Prev.

Last year it was the " great danger extermination ".

It's natural selection.

I’m surprised you didn’t squeeze “totes amazeballs” in there too.

So when you’ve done with the hysterics, perhaps you could answer the question:


- Has he been charged?

- What would the charge be?



Not difficult.

With the addition of a couple of faces in Jan we will hopefully develop a style and shape.
I can't see us ever pulling up any trees under Big Sam but we'll be hard to beat for sure

I fear this Christmas will be a little quieter. The Dangers are dead and the Clique seem almost rudderless now. I can't see where the first spark is coming from if I'm honest. But Big Sam will cause a little bit of chaos for sure
