But there has been Board meetings recently and some strange comments afterwards from the Chairman.

who knows ....

In this month's FourFourTwo, Harry Kewell banged on about how good Rijkaard is for pages and pages. 'Best coach I've ever had blah blah blah.'

For that alone, I don't want him.
 
Oh and Tompkins resorting to Twitter to get people to read his shite?

How the never-at-all mighty have fallen?

How he fits his sentences into Twitter's character limit is beyond me too. Must take him a fucking month.
 
I really don't care if our football resembles Wimbledon of the late 1980s so long as we win.

My feelings exactly, some of our most succesful years were based on scoring a goal sitting back and packing the defence, were we worried ? Were we fuck we won

PS welcome back by the way Ryan.

Cheers Vlad.

I think Bren mientioned this once or twice - some supporters must be living off a fantasy that our success in the 70s and 80s was based on a scouse Joga fucking Bonito or something.

We were strong, physical, intimidatory, could play when it was required of course, but this idea that we were a fucking joy to watch year in, year out is ludicrous.

Besides, how many teams in World Football are actually a pleasure to sit and watch week in, week out? 2 maybe?

Fantasy football is exactly that; fantasy.
 
Could someone find me a picture of him in some suits and or v-necks please.
This will determine wether i will put my hands up or down.
Thanks in advance.

The 87/88 season and perhaps one or two seasons around that we played some fantastic stuff. Back in the day though, I believe we were great advocates of playing it around the defence and pass backs to the keeper before they made a rule against it.

yes, that's what i've read/seen as well, but i think all teams did that - i mean that's why they brought the rule in. i get the impression that away from home, especially, we were content to play for a 1-0 and shut up shop, but i still think (without actually being there, obviously) we generally played good and attractive football for most of the 70s and 80s. we were always known as a passing team, and had loads of really classy players and some of the football i've seen is excellent.

the key was that winning was everything: when attacking football helped achieve that, as it generally does, we did it; when we had to grind out a result in tough away games or a european final, we were happy to do that as well. and i wouldn't have it any other way.

that's all well and good, personally I want a team that are hard to break down away from home but are lightning quick on the counter attack and at home play with creativity and flair to break down stubborn defenses. that would I want and I suspect if we played in such a manner WOULD win stuff.

people want to see more attacking football, it winds me up when some people act like such an opinion is asking for kevin keegan's newcastle.

okay, I get what you're getting at, I was saying even though arsenal haven't won anything their style of football attracks large crowds. we will soon be expanding anfield or building a new stadium (you'd hope) so good football would help with increasing the number of people that will come to watch us as would winning trophies.
