I mean that's not difficult, is it? He plays dull unattractive football, signs workmen instead of footballers (he might have done a better job on this with one or two this season), he tinkers with winning sides, he picks teams to "counter" other teams instead of forcing other teams to do that to us, he has our midfield sit so deep we might as well play with 8 defenders, he only allows us to attack with 3 players and only one of them is allowed in the box, the same corner routine every corner, kick it to the big guy at the back post, the same freekick routine hoof it to the big guy at the back post, refuses to make subs, when he does make subs they're like for like as he has no plan B. I would carry on but my curry is ready.

Hurst is like marmite to our fanbase but one thing I do not like about him is he always gives far too much credit to the opposition to the detrement of ourselves. Do we really have a style of play?..not really because Hurst sets up to counter the opposition.
Sometimes I'm convinced he wants to prove a "how clever am i" point. Why can't he just decide on a style of play for us sbd bloody stick to it, give us a bleeding identity because right now, we haven't got one

This is an excellent point that I'd forgotten until now.

PH said he replaced Glennon to make sure he didn’t get sent off.

And there we have it. The rewriting of history to fit an agenda.


Hardly, should we talk about how he relegated us, taking us from about 6 spots clear to bottom of the table or do the happy clapper rose-tinted specs stop you from seeing that as well?


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

More likely because the number 11 had waltzed past him half a dozen times as if he wasn’t there ( plus the times he wasn’t there) in the first 30 minutes.

Absolute state of this thread. What are we suggesting if we're unhappy with today's 'tinkering'? That they should have sent Maher out on crutches?


Exactly. Just utter cobblers.

Eat it with a spoon and remember to breathe (it’s safe through the nose). Then have an early night.

Tinker man for “dropping” an injured player and bringing in one that was fit  🤣🤣🤣
A one man team that got us promoted 🤣🤣🤣 (let’s not mention he brought in this so called one man team), I’m glad the other 20 (estimated) goslscorers didn’t contribute 🤣🤣🤣
FA Cup quarter finals….. lucky 🤣🤣🤣. That is one hell of a lot of luck.
I’m waiting for a we was fortunate to win the games we did, and we only did that because we somehow luckily scored more goals than the other teams.

Good to see a defeat has made a lot of people happy, so they can have a good moan, no matter what
This thread is pure comedy.
