For me, Mick was our greatest ever Player. yeh, I know he went to City, and even played for Pompey didn't he 
He's best summed up in an interview given in the dressing room after the 1976 Semi Final - " We've got here, now let's go on and bloody Win it" He did, and we did. |

Thread | And then there were 3, or are there ?
at 14:44 28 Mar 2024
Football returns tomorrow. RM states that we've already been written off, in the race for automatic promotion. The Fat Lady hasn't quite started singing yet, though she is loosening up her tonsils.
We need to ignore the noise surrounding the current top 3, and concentrate on our own games. It will definitely be a difficult ask to make the autos, but if RM applies the right team selections from the start, in every game, who knows where we'll end up.
Given the dreadful season last year, I didn't expect to be anywhere near the playoffs, let alone the autos, this season. Credit RM in getting us so far, where play offs at least, is within our reach.
We have around 9 Top Players that should start most games, or certainly the majority of them. KWP, THB, Bednarek, Flynn Downes, Stu Armstrong, Ryan Fraser, David Brooks, Adam Armstrong, and Che Adams.
Second tier Players, Joe Rothwell, Stephens, Aribo, Smallbone, Edoze, Charles, and Mara could always sub on to 'rest' the top players.
It's all to do with mindset. Play with an attacking intent. 80% Possession means 'rock all' if we don't score ONE more Goal than the opposition.
We need to start our strongest team v Middlesboro' and especially Ipswich, in our first two games back. Win these two games to send out a signal that there is a 4th Team in the fight for the autos.
Cut out giving away goals as we've done recently. Don't get caught with the ball when close to our Goal Area, affording the opposition an easy chance to score.
What will be will be. A nail biting season end is incoming. UTS |

Perhaps, on seeing the Team Selection, they sat shell shocked at the realisation they'd spent a fortune on Match Fees, Food, Travel, knowing they were going to get home very early next morning, only to see a Reserve Side put out. Just Saying Like. |

'Suicide Defending', as I've seen it called, is not just a problem for us. Chelsea gave an horrendous goal to Leeds last night, with the goalie tip tap passing in the goal area at a goal kick. A Leeds player took the ball from a Chelsea defender, and Leeds scored an easy goal.
Brighton were prone to 'Suicide Defending' under Potter a couple of seasons ago.
Similarly, Bazuna has gifted several goals to the opposition this season.
Try switching it up from time to time, and Hoof the K'in Ball upfield occasionally. { sorry, pass the ball forward, as I've also seen it called. It does work. The City Goalkeeper has been known to get an 'Assist' when playing long ball to his forwards, bypassing the midfield.} |

Thread | Does Nathan Jones have Mental Health Issues ?
at 10:13 6 Feb 2023
Just popped back for a look on the good ol' TUI Site. I agree with every Post on the need to be rid of Jones. Rasmus Ankerson has made a Big Mistake in appointing Jones as Ralph's replacement. It was done very quickly after Ralph left, suggesting that The Club had Jones lined up already. Really, - Really, - can you believe how we've been suckered into taking him on? Think of Ali Dia the 'Non' Footballer, then Jones is the 'Non' Manager.
SIX Defeats in 7 League Games is definitely Relegation form. Every time I hear him speak, it's 'I', 'Me' from him. He's telling us that his record is one of the best in Europe, FFS.
The Man is a Fraud. He has caused untold damage to our Club. If we don't 'Move him on' immediately, we will be relegated this season.
He has zero personality, ( Yes, I know that's not a prerequisite to being a good Manager ), and has obviously 'upset' quite a few Players and Staff. He is delusional at best, deranged at worst. He is clearly out of his depth as a Premier League Manager. Put him out of his, and our Misery, by sacking him today. We have a limited time, 17 Games, with some very difficult fixtures amongst those, to save our Premier League position. Mr Ankerson, do it today. |

No Point. Let's just concentrate on getting some points from our last 6 Games. Super League is not likely to bother us, any time soon. |

James Bond is a White, Scottish, Man, a Naval Commander. That IS THE Character created by Ian Fleming in his Books. His Character is a Member of The British Secret Service
Bond is Not Female. Bond is Not Black, Brown, Yellow.

Nearing Return, GOOD NEWS. We need England’s Best Left Back, playing regularly in The First Team. If he can be utilised by Ralph, for the benefit of The Team, in another position, that’s good as well.
Just get him back playing. He will definitely make all the difference for us. |

Reply | My personal take on yesterday's game.
at 10:21 4 Feb 2019
Good Post. I would have taken a Point BEFORE Kick Off, but at the end 1pt wasn't reward for the Game. It should have been 3pts. Mind you, the Game against Palace I gratefully accepted 1pt, as we were lucky to get it.
The Game against Cardiff really is a MUST WIN Game.No excuses. Just Win, any way we can. A draw would not be acceptable. A defeat would be disastrous.
Three to go down will come from Teams currently 13th - 20th. I can see Burnley, Newcastle, & Palace being OK. Brighton could falter. I can also see us being OK as well, though don't look for higher than 13th. 13th would be great finish, given the last two years.
So, by my reckoning, THREE from Brighton, Cardiff, Fulham, & Huddersfield to Go Down.
We play all four of these Teams in our run in. Cardiff & Fulham are MUST WIN Games, in my view. The Brighton Game is a MUST NOT LOSE Game. Huddersfield will already be Relegated by the last Game of the Season, and hopefully, a Carnival Atmosphere at St. Mary's will be enjoyed. |

Nearly every penny of our Premier League Revenues are paying off Gao's Loan Debt. Will do for the next couple of years. Treading Water tiil Debt paid.

Well said Dorsetlan. I was totally happy with Koeman, the moment he walked through the door. There is absolutely no doubt that Les 'forced' him out. I don't care what the Club 'Spin' is. Oh for Koeman to have completed his third year of his Contract. Oh well, that's all water under the Bridge now.
As for Mr VS. What an absolutely Top Owner he turned out to be. What he put into Leicester FC, and into the City of Leicester was fantastic.
There is no comparison between him and Mr Gao. Our Owner, (80%), borrowed the money to purchase his 80%. Kat was happy. She got all her invested money, and more, back from the Deal. I'm sure Ralph and Les were 'looked after' in the deal, too. Others have done the research, but Gao gets nearly all our Money over the next three years, to pay off his loan to Mcquarrie Bank. At the same time Gao has retained the services of the current Management for those three years. Absolutely no chance of making progress with the current Board in place. We are basically 'treading water' for three years, the sum total of our 'ambitions' is to remain in the Premier League. As to Gao's motives in buying us, I'm totally mystified. What positives are/were there for OUR Club in the deal? What happens after the first three years ? Will Ralph, Les, et al disappear ? Will we still be in the Premier League ?
I do know that our Mr Gao will never be as loved by our Club, and City, as Mr VS is/was at Leicester. RIP to a Great Man. Let's hope it's not RIP to OUR Club in the near future. |
