Seems like an age since our last game.
Leicester sit cleanly bottom of the table, and look doomed. It would take a miracle change in form for them to escape. And while it's said that a wounded animal is very dangerous, surely not a half-dead animal? Yet what's the betting we start the game in a defensive 4-5-1 formation? Shouldn't we being going to The King Power Stadium (I still want to call it Filbert Street!) with the aim of giving them an effective 'coup de grace?' Let's ATTACK them. Thoughts?
Cleanly bottom
I'm sure that's in Dorsett....
We all know what we "should" do but El Hippo face will set up with the same plan. Keep the crowd quiet for the first 20, hit them on the break, bring on Ninny Nanny & Armadillo with 20 to go and if we respect the point he'll be happier than a refugee hiding in a fuel tank.
Nugent will score as he always does against us so it will depend on the quality of service and finishing from Daffy.
I wouldn't get my hopes up too much though as thoughts have most definitely turned to sun loungers regardless of the well worded press statements.
Expect lots of publicity for the Stoke game as that will have difficulty selling.....
Leicester are one of our
Leicester are one of our lucky teams and although they play good football, their defence is awful.I expect a hard fought 2-1 win for the mighty irons.
Lawro prediction
It's a good job Lawro got us down for a 2-1 loss..............
Yep he got 3 points against
Yep he got 3 points against 'The Power', as did Leicester at the King Power.
How dare you insult the Hippo
How dare you insult the Hippo's! shame on you, if you google whf you get west ham fans and wildlife hippo fund! you brute……Ed
I don't go along with the old
I don't go along with the old "already on holiday" nonsense. Professional footballers are highly competitive animals: they wouldn't let their 5 year olds, or their grannies win a game of snap! :-)
Still 8 games to go, any player who is content with not going down shouldn't (and probably isn't) playing football, at any level, let alone the PL. I'm not sure where that "cleanly bottom" phrase came from... maybe I have a psychosis about changing nappies?!! Sounds more like a place in The League of Gentlemen, than Ye Olde Dorsett! :-))
blah blah blah
I hate Sam, Nolan, West Ham way etc, etc, etc. zzzzzzzzzzzz
We're crap useless fans, don
We're crap useless fans, don't know anything about football. Should wake up every morning thanking our lucky stars Allardyce and Nolan have deemed us worthy of their sevices blah blah blah etc......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
My point entirely
All this site seems to be about these days is people talking about the manager, individual players etc rather than about the club in general and the game as a whole.
People rant on about the same old things because they've nothing else to say.
Basically, change the bloody record folks.
Nothing stopping you leading
Nothing stopping you leading by example, Len. But if you expect people to not talk about the manager and players you may be disappointed.
Enlighten us oh great one,
Enlighten us oh great one, show us the way
The site is open
To all sorts of discussion.People are ranting on,because there are no new topics being offered...ive tried a few different ones lately but obviously the sam debate is getting all the interest..so its over to you len & dicksy ...
I actually think this would
I actually think this would be the game where an all out attack would be suicide... Look at Leicesters results this season - they have plenty of goals and have fought back to earn wins against the big teams... On paper we should be winning comfortably but we have a weakened defence and strike force at the minute. Just feels like that hungry team at the bottom of the relegation zone are ready to pounce on any mistakes and catch us off guard. I think a measured approach would be better
Take your point, ACS. And I
Take your point, ACS. And I don't say we should go Hell for leather. But if Valencia and Reid are both back, we have a superior side to them, we should play like it, not like a side hoping for a point.
Agree with your tactical comments but
With Jenkinson, Cresswell, Reid and Collins I don't see how we have a 'weakened' defence? And to add, Valencia hasn't been great in many games and his goal scoring record shows that. We lack quality attacking play in midfield and if our manager keeps playing Nolan, and previous weeks even bringing on Jarvis who's shite, instead of the likes of Nene and Almarfatino then we will continue to lose games.
We should have an easy
We should have an easy victory but Allardyce will play a tactical game that will no doubt lead to us losing.
God i hope he goes to QPR or Sunderland at the end of the Season.
It's hard to know what result
It's hard to know what result we will get on Saturday. On paper we should be capable of picking up all three points but I get the feeling that Sam is in a (we're safe and I couldn't be arsed ) mood at the moment.
yep , as wouldn't you just
yep , as wouldn't you just love to be in this position, experiment with different players and different formations , same as you Cath couldn't give a shite , i'll watch them though , i'll always watch them
Said it already under Burkie
Said it already under Burkie's dream post :-) 0-0 is about the right result with Allardyce playing 4-5-1 to accommodate his mate Nolan and poor old Sakho chasing shadows as a lone figure! He'll change it to 4-4-2 with about 10 minutes left as it dawns on him that we could and should have won it, attacking rather than trying to defend and counter!!!
Walkers in the park for us
Walkers in the park for us Crisp, good quality short passing 0.2 west ham ;)
This is the sort of game
This is the sort of game (middle of the table playing the bottom) over the years we would lose, it would be great to see us dominate and win 3 0 COYI
Prediction 1-1 or 1-0
Prediction 1-1 or 1-0
Too many years following this
Too many years following this club suggest you are right. But I refuse to be so bloody sensible before a match: 0-3. COYI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enough is enough surely?
Still playing Nolan, still bringing on Cole and leaving it until the 88th minute to bring on Nene? We are becoming a laughing stock and the 3 points last week came in the 88th minute against a very bad side so why don't they just sack him?
we're idiots mate, dreamers
we're idiots mate, dreamers who know nothing. just ask the motd pundits and those that feel we dont deserve more . they know the truth, they know we are having the season of our lives. can't wait to sign off our great UP in style next season. maybe we'll even still be competitive up until February?
Agree fellas.
Since xmas the form has been shocking,relegation would have been definate if we hadnt had such a good pre-xmas.The game today has finally made my mind up,sam is clueless,id rather be in the chumps playing exciting football than that dross.If he stays & there are no additions in the summer,we are defo relegation certs..sam thanks for what youve done but adios!!
RIP to our amazing season
RIP to our amazing season that we lost in December 2014 :(
It is difficult to even be bothered to post
Sad sad Indictment of where Sam Allardyce is taking the club.
Long road to nowhere.
