Reggie Strayshun

[quote user="nutty nigel"]Having watched Reggie wriggle and squirm earlier about his suggestion of Slade I think admit could be about right. But of course you''re right, we all have our suggestions and none of us know how they will work out. If you search back through this board i''m sure I suggested Calderwood to replace Grant. And it does feel like an admission of guilt now[:$]      [/quote]More lies and invention from Nutty.I what way did I wriggle, Nige ? You pointed out that I''d mentioned Slade , and the very next post I confirmed that Slade was indeed on a list of my suggestions back in the summer. As was MalkyThe problem , as I recall lay at your door, because you implied in your posting that Slade was my one and only suggestion, which I helpfully pointed out  was not the case. Then , as is your wont, you got all uppity about it, and defaulted to your usual position when you''ve been found to be telling porkies;  ie to play the ''dishonesty'' card.Oh and , by the way, just a friendly reminder. You''ve still not supplied the evidence of your bizarre statement yesterday concerning all these ''moaning negative'' posters who were up in arms that we only beat Charlton 3-2 , not 4-0. Will you be supplying that evidence, NN, or can we all assume that this is yet another thing you''ve made up to run down NCFC'' s true fans ?

A large number of the posts on this and other related threads prove how many people simply miss the point about Butler.He was chosen  by RN because he is a ''fan'' and not either an ex-player nor a dyed in the wool established sports broadcaster . Presumably in an attempt to emulate the mood swings that we all experience as fans . Whether that idea works, or whether he''s the best person RN could have chosen is open to debate. I''m not so sure myself, but that''s just my opinion.But, to complain that he gets sycophantic and over -excited , as I say, totally misses the point.

[quote user="canarycop"]. Too many Lambert related posts on here. Really is the time for some people to move on.[/quote]Pretty much what I stated on another thread before the sacking yesterday afternoon.But I got shouted down by the ''usual few''. It''ll be interesting to see if the same fate awaits you CC .I wonder if the Villa fans will still be childishly harping on about their ex-manager in 3 yrs time ? Somehow I doubt it.Onwards and upwards with Alex Neil !!!

[quote user="morty"][You''re really making yourself look a bit of an idiot here.[/quote]I bow to your inexhaustable experience on that particular subject, Morty.

[quote user="Daz Sparks"]I think Reggie got out of the wrong side of the bed today.As for the thread, well it is self evident that it has interested some, and something tells me that Lambert had a minor affiliation to NCFC once upon a time?[/quote]Not really Daz.Just not terribly interested in a list of 23 dry stats about another club''s manager, and some possible perceived relevance to another NCFC manager 30-odd years ago.There are indeed a few who have replied. If that sort of stuff is their bag , then fine.I just prefer to concentrate on the here and now at Carrow Rd, thanks.

[quote user="morty"]No double standards, its an interesting, relevent thread. [/quote]Interesting ? Well just maybe for a few ''stat'' types on a very superficial level.Relevant ?  To Norwich City ?  In what way precisely ?

[quote user="lake district canary"]Reggie, I''d give up trying to tame Nigel if I were you.  He''s a past master at saying something that is loaded towards a particular poster, designed to catch you out,  that when analysed more closely looks quite innocuous and innocent.  Its called being savvy and you are not the only one that gets caught out by it.  Mind you, you don''t help it sometimes by not being strictly accurate with your quoting, so I''d say your both as bad as each other judging by this thread. Just my pennyworth - but Nutty is hard to catch out - I gave up quite a while ago!  I bet he''s good at cryptic crosswords...... [/quote]Oh I know that, LDC. Never try to ''tame'' him .Just like to catch him out from time to time, which more and more people do, seemingly. Not as difficult as you are suggesting ! Not as easy as Morty, I''ll agree, but not too difficult, nontheless.Re quoting......you may have been right about me in the past, which is why I now invariably use the quote facility in ALL cases. so there cannot be any argument as to what was said, by whom and when.

Ok.  Just can''t really see the point of starting a posting with loads of fairly dull stats about Lambert''s time at Villa Park.If Lakey had started such a thread Lappin would have been down on him like a ton of bricks.Double standards ?

PS, Chicken. To be fair, I''ve already dismissed Buh''s idea that I''d be a politician.You are right, I''d be no good at it. Lose patience too easily !

[quote user="chicken"][I suggest that your answer should have been:"Yes, NN, I did suggest Slade as a possible managerial candidate, but he was one of a list I gave and so not ''the'' one as your post may imply."But he clearly hasn''t made it up because he remembered you suggested his name. So it''s not dishonest. You are for suggesting he is.[/quote]Well, OK, Chicken. that is your take on it, and that''s fair enough.I could indeed have answered that way. It is Nige that goes on about this inaccurate/dishonest'' thing, tbh. When what he means when he says it is ''not my opinion''. If he was just straight about it there''d be a lot less aggro.Ironic, as he himself makes all sorts of wild statements (eg the 4-0 vs 3-2 one earlier) . Completely false, yet when challenged about it, he never clarifies it nor accepts he is wrong. I (in TCC''s words) was prepared to backtrack, by deleting some unneccessary words, but he has not reciprocated. Instead he reverts to the silly name calling.So, sometimes you have to look a little beneath the surface to understand why there is so much strife on this board. As so often this thread is now going round in circles ( at best), so I''ll leave it at that.

[quote user="Buh"]Is reg a politician? Because he posts like one.[/quote]Ha ha, Buh. Definitely not.Come to think of it, Nige (and to a lesser extent your good self) would make excellent politicians.Make wild extravagant and often inaccurate statements that look good at first glance, but, when challenged ,either can''t or won''t substantiate them.Quick lads, there''s still time to put your names  forward for a constituency before May''s Gen election.

[quote user="nutty nigel"]Really? LOL[/quote]I''ll take that as a ''no'' on both requests then .

Speaking personally, Lapps, I am a Norwich City supporter. Not an Aston Villa supporter.You obviously take great delight in one of our ex managers going through a rough time at a club in Birmingham who are not even in the same league as us.Me.......I''d rather focus my attention on the great job Alex Neil is doing at Carrow RdBut, still , you just carry on with the negative postings.

[quote user="nutty nigel"]I don''t think I could make my post any clearer Reg. I think you''ve been found out and about time too...[/quote]Well, you could have made it clearer Nige. In the simple manner I suggested . By the basic addition of the addition of the words ''one of''''.  Which would make for an accurate statement, as opposed to the misleading one you''ve made. Will you do that Nigel ?Or have you been ''found out '' too ?

[quote user="nutty nigel"] Then moaning about a 3-2 away win assumedly because it wasn''t 4-0. What can the team do to satisfy the never satisfied negativeNancies?[/quote]....oh and while we''re about it Nige, perhaps , in the spirit of accuracy, you understand, you can point us all to the post where as above , you claim that people have moaned that our 3-2 success  v Charlton was not 4-0 ?

Interesting, isn''t it that I have clarified my position and removed any words that might have led to a false impression, yet Nige has not taken the opportunity to do likewise and clarify that what he meant to say (and what would have been accurate and honest) was that Slade was one of my suggestions (as opposed to my suggestion...singular) ?  I would regard it as clarification rather than the backtracking you suggest, but, each to his own I guess.Quite why you''ve felt the need to get involved  TCC is anyone''s guess, but if there''s been any misleading going on here , it''s been by Nigel.Perhaps, as I say, he might care to qualify what he meant to avoid any misunderstandings?  We''ll see over the next few minutes, I suppose.

[quote user="TCCANARY"]  So you want people to accurately quote you but you''re prepared to embellish what others have said, there''s a word for what you are.         [/quote]OK. If it makes you feel any better, I unreservedly withdraw the words ''nailed'' and ''on'' from my earlier posting . They were surplus to requirements. But their removal does not make my point about NN''s dishonesty any less relevant or accurate. He''s still given a false statement re Slade.Better now ?

[quote user="Buh"]Hahahahahahaha Cherry picking the quote, what a moron you are[/quote]Surefire signs that Buh is losing the plot/argument.He starts the puerile insults.

[quote user="TCCANARY"]So was it a list of suggestions or a suggested list, when you write a list what is it for? And who said ''nailed on''?     [/quote]If Nige had wanted to be accurate and honest, TCC, he''d have said that Slade was ''one of Reggie''s suggestions for manager''Which would have been true.But, as we all know, accuracy and honesty are qualities that do not figure much in NN''s agenda.Nailed on ?  I said it. Do you have a problem with that ?

[quote user="Highland Canary"]we wouldn''t have turned the match around last evening under Adams so we should take encouragement that, notwithstanding our inconsistency, a lottery place should be well within our grasp under the new management team.[/quote]So, let''s just get this straight then Buh , NN and others. A posting that centres on words like ''take encouragement'', and the ''playoffs should be well within grasp under the new management team'', is , in your book, negative and moaning.Are you for real???!!!

[quote user="nutty nigel"]Its now dishonest to suggest that a suggestion is a suggestion.......[/quote]At the very least you were economical with the truth, NN  . You know full well that to be on a list is not the same as nailed on suggestion.Yet more hypocrisy from you, as it''s a blatant case of ''word twisting'', which, you''d have us believe is another of your bete noires.Classic ''do what I say, not what I do'' from the master.

[quote user="nutty nigel"]Well let''s start with Highlands nonsensical post that you agreed with and work back from there.[/quote]I knew it would only be a long shot to get a straight answer to a straight question from NN.But we live in hope that , one day.........

[quote user="nutty nigel"]Oh, and wasn''t Slade Reggie''s suggestion for our manager?[/quote]Yes, Slade was indeed on a list of people who I suggested for consideration, Nige . Not the same as out and out suggestion for manager.So, not for the first time, NN, that''s something you''ve made up.I do dislike these dishonest posters like you........

[quote user="nutty nigel"]. Then moaning about a 3-2 away win assumedly because it wasn''t 4-0. What can the team do to satisfy the never satisfied negativeNancies?[/quote]Right NN. Cards on the table time. I''ll ask you a question. Let''s see if I get a straight answer (unlike other questions that have been asked of you). I''m not holding my breath...With the possible exception of  the OP, please refer me to any point on this thread where people have been negative or moaning. As I''m reading it, virtually everyone has said how they enjoyed the win/3 pts, but are a bit concerned how often we seem to give sloppy goals away, and what to do about it. Not negative or moaning....just constructive criticism.In fact the only negative stuff on here has been from you, offering silly ''point deduction '' comments, and, as is your wont, running down the NCFC fans.

[quote user="lake district canary"] Oh dear. I seem to have woken Lapps up.    I hope this explains it sufficiently for you, without too much waffle. [/quote]Lakey you should know by now that whatever explanation/answer you give to Lapps will be rubbished by him, particularly if it does not fit in with his own narrow view on things.........BTW, tend to agree with you re BJ. Not sure whether he''d be POTS material yet, but certainly a nailed on candidate for most improved player . I''ve a feeling that he''s the sort of player tailor made for a manager like Neil to get the best out of, don''t you think?
