    Woods inspired so many local lads to take up goalkeeping, as I was one of them.  In fact, there were so many keepers across the youth and school teams that I ended up playing outfield, basically the oldest were being picked as they were tallest.

    That milk cup final save was better than Banks vs Brazil, too.  *ahem* :classic_tongue:

    Jossy's Giants on tv just popped into my head thinking back to school teams.  Anyone remember that from around mid 80s-ish? haha.  

    football is just a type of science ? or something like that

    I think a massive part of that success wasn’t Lambert but his back room who by most accounts actually did a lot of the training and heavily involved in the tactics of games. 
    This showed when he left to take charge without them! He’s hardly been a success since!

    sum of the parts

    they just all clicked Manager/staff/players/fans

    Mostly beacause as we have what, the third highest player wages of any team in this divison along with players that cost us a ton not getting into the playoffs will be a failure.

    no we dont after the departures our wage bill is around 22m a year Ipswich are on about 20m

    Comparing Wagner to Ferguson is utterly bizarre and displays breathtaking naivety.

    Ferguson went into that job on the back of a very successful period with Aberdeen including multiple trophies and Man Utd were also languishing at second bottom of the league. They were a team in transition with aging players needing replacing and other younger stars being sold, plus there was a huge drinking culture at the club. Fergie then finished mid table for a few seasons whilst rebuilding and changing the mentality, then we all know what came next.

    Wagner did not come to us with any pedigree other than still dining out on getting Huddersfield promoted by drawing the play offs 0-0 (and 1-1 in one match).

    it was more comparing the first manager who did a year and everyone wanted him out which for wagner was me from day one he fooled me with the odd game but from the end of the season I consistently wanted him gone

    watched Celtic play the other day it was awful but.. playing at a decent level would raise there game and the players willing to join would also be better

     

    but would never want to see either team in the english leagues  Vile bigoted fans who still line up  Catholic vs Pros  what ever the hell one of them is

     

    Maybe we should ask Oliver Cromwell

    Is Wagner gonna apologise for all the dire crap he’s served up this season too? 

    the problem is that dire crap now looks like the refining and learning the new system we are playing now

    without that we wouldnt be where we are now

    wanted him out myself since last season and going by how you can see the team evolving week on week since xmas with a playing identity to match I dont know now we could be in a Alex Ferguson moment everyone fans and owners thought he was going to go and then it clicked

    think both rangers and celtic would be mid to playoff championship teams the rest vary from  league one to non league levels nearly

    but once Celtic got into the prem they would be able to leverage the shirt sales ect to to slowly gain

     

    on the other hand this is something that will never happen the Football league have said if they ever joined it would be at the lowest level

    We could use this sort of penetrating analysis on the Non-Football section.

    didnt bring it it up

    as for Onel he is doing well maybe his best form he has always been an 80% player who would do the hard work and 1 time out of 5/6 he would do something

     

    but now he has learned how to just hit the ball into the box about bloody time

    First Sara, then came Rowe and now the Sarge high on the list of vulnerable assets.

    Even Saintz is threatening to infiltrate this elite band. Whilst Gunn gets better and better.

    I once said that Omo would end up our most saleable asset, and even topping the Emi deal. That went wrong for various reasons, but no bones broken because the Academy seems to be producing others.

    The Sarge could well be in demand from mid-PL teams by the season's end, and I'm talking £40m. He's a striker, after all. The most valuable commodity in the game.

    He's come so far since his first season as a youngster in a new land proved to be not quite up to Premier League demands, Acclimatised, older and confident.

    we still got some decent money for Omo who failed to impress or improve last season

    current form sugests Sarge is a 40m plus striker who with the right service can cause anyone problems even in Germany he was only a backup player so we need to give credit to Wagner for bringing out his best I suppose

    Nuno looks to be on track now as well if he can continue where he left off we have a big asset in him  on the pitch and for resale

    several of the kids on loan look good so the academy is churning out a whole new batch of decent footballers its rare to get any who can cut it at championship or even league one level once you factor in every teams young lads

    Liquid football. And to think almost everyone on here wanted Wagner out..

     

    Almost peak Farke football

    myself included since the end of last season

     

    but since christmas we have been seeing an Identity forming in the squad and now the midfield is finaly looking like a viable unit they all had talent but didnt think it was possible for him to get that out of them

    Which rather proves my point.

    Why have you waited, why have you not moved to a part of the ground where fans already stand ? There will not be bits of the South Stand or River End where barriers are put up. 

    It is referred to as 'safe'. Has anyone any evidence of where standing over the past couple of decades has result in any harm ? What's in place works, why introduce something that is utterly pontless ?

    old standing was not safe still remmeber nearly getting crushed to death in the old cowsheds
