  1. Who cares about deadlines day. We have a quality squad even if Redmond goes, which is the only likely deal going on.
  2. Sanctimonious much?So you''re saying all the journalists, writers, academics using twitter are idiots because they do not focus on a medium that allows them to construct well crafted submissions?You have obviously not got the brain to understand the nuances of communication in the digital age.[quote user="Rock The Boat"]Thanks, but no thanks, Pete. Chat is for the under-20''s who have difficulties in stringing together a few paragraphs of reasoned thought in the form of a well-crafted out forum submission, and who wish to reduce all thoughts to a 140 character or less sound bite. On the other hand if means removing those who can manage little more than semi-sentence from the main forum then I''m all for it. And apologies to the few under-20''s who do make well-thought out posts, there are some.[/quote]
  3. He was played out of position yesterday.Morons.
  4. Make sure we put out our best and most obvious back four.  This means Turner and Bennett in the centre, with Martin at right back. 
  5. What is the matter with you lot?If the deal was not signed, did you really expect Adams to say "yes we are in the process of sellin Fer to QPR right now".Do you ever hear that?Would you say it if you were in charge?Idiots.
  6. Absolutely brilliant return, more than doubled our money in 12 months with half of the season he looked completely average.No doubt he would have torn the Championship a new one, but it puts a LOT of cash in the bank.  With the other sales and money we already had, we can easily invest where needed.But lets be realistic here. If we are selling him for 10 million then we won''t buy better for 2 million, but we will add to it and create one hell of a squad depth.Good business, IF we now bring in another central midfielder.
  7. First game away from home against a team with momentum from coming up and you:1. Play Johnson at the base.  A player who cannot pass and has no vision, yet you have him as the player picking up short balls to distribute from defence.  Really?2. Playing a winger who can''t shoot to save his own life up front.3.  Johnson, Surman, Hoolahan and Bennett. All of them part of the squad that went up last time using the diamond formation, but we don''t have momentum or Grant Holt in his prime this time. Not much progression there?4. Russell Martin preferred over tall, specialist centre back Bennett who finished last season looking good? Should have been 4-2-3-1 all day long, two to cover the back four.  Johnson and Surman if no other options, at least Surman can pass and he would not have been exposed for pace on the left.  Bennett, Wes and Redmond running at defenders and creating a five man midfield in defence, with Grabban up top.  R Bennett in for Martin, who could have gone to right back as we wouldn''t have needed Whitakers pace as much as in a diamond.So simple.  But no, we go for a narrow formation with players out of position.Have we hired a radio commentator or a manager?
  8. Get Rik to No1 on Sunday!https://www.facebook.com/RikMayallWorldCupNo1?fref=ts
  9. That''s a very promising start.  Out of the blue.  Well done Neil Adams and the club.Something positive!
  10. It is a tough call.  Neither was any good but for me Wolf can get in the air and head it better than Hooper.  If he can bulk up and wake up then he is a better all round prospect than Hooper.The problem is both are now damaged goods.  So personally I think they are both going to be shipped out and two new ones brought in with the young Jamaican lad being the third.
  11. Surely if it was about people Delia liked, we would have Mike Walker back?  Those two got on very well by all accounts.
  12. He will be played the right way and look world class.He won''t play for Norwich again.
  13. "I guess its about decisions."No.It''s about the fact Southampton added to a good squad with some serious money signings on those four years where as we bounced up and hoped for the best with the same squad we had in league one!Oh and they took bold and expensive managerial decisions where as we backed ourselves into a corner when Malky stalled.
  14. Three or four will be sold, for around 10 million in total.  So if that money goes back in, plus just five million of the parachute payment money, we will have a massive budget for the championship.
  15. Foley is setting up the friendlies apparently.  It''s a tour of Suffolk....
  16. "If a player coming from a different league or nation, had to choose between Ipswich or Norwich, Norwich would be the first choice. " Really Lynn Canary?I doubt it.Player who doesn''t know clubs, reads how Norwich were just relegated and now have youth coach in charge because they couldn''t get anyone else.  Ably assisted by a youth coach who was sacked by the club as not good enough a decade before.Then they look at Ipswich, with ex-Ireland manager and well-traveled domestic manager Mick McCarthy, who has dragged a team from the bottom to nearly getting in the play-offs.Both say "come and play for us".Who would you choose?Exactly.  Wake up.
  17. "Your new management team consists of an U18''s coach and a coach plucked from a Tier Seven club in Mid Suffolk."He has it right even for a binner.We are a laughing stock.
  18. So lets see if he jumps and how quick he is allowed to leave.
  19. I would be too busy on the phone to my agent to tweet.
  20. I could.David, was this a decision supported by you personally.David, why was Neil the most qualified person for the job.David, was there no other manager in the world with more experience and contacts we could have approached?David, if we don''t get into the play offs will you resign?
  21. Of course it doesn''t, not in the context this has happened.I''m calling you an idiot.  Want to sue me?
  22. "thus succeeding in getting us relegated."Idiot.
  23. Absolute rubbish.You have to prove that you have suffered damages in financial or reputational terms.It would never make court. [quote user="Phillip J Fry"][quote user="ref89"]You can''t be libeled for saying someone lied about stuff like that!  Get a grip.[/quote]Yes, yes you can:''A is liable for saying anything to C about B which would be apt to make the average citizen think worse of the latter''If i referred to Delia Smith as a liar, then most people would think worse of her. It qualifies as libel.[/quote]
  24. Simple question for your simple mind.Would you be more confident of promotion under Neil Adams or Mourinho?Think about it.
  25. Lambert had experience at the level we were at PLUS world class playing experience.Neil Adams....?
