Sooty57 403 Posted September 28, 2021 I must admit that I was beginning to lose hope for this season, but now that mouthy tw@ has written us off as having no chance of staying up I have renewed enthusiasm for the remaining games. 🤪 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,202 Posted September 28, 2021 As the article suggests Farke needs to pin this up on the dressing room wall. Good idea, let's prove to him (Lawrenson) once and for all that he is wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellowrider120 761 Posted September 28, 2021 The guy has never had anything decent to say about Norwich teams. Indeed I think he was once quoted as saying something along the lines of...........'it's an awful place to go'. In his eyes the only places that matters are Liverpool, Manchester and London. Although I suspect that (privately and perhaps increasingly publicly) many Yellows are in agreement with him on the 'absolutely no chance' stance! Why this guy is still employed for his football opinions I really don't know as he always looks dishevelled, untidy and almost disinterested. If only we could ram the words back down his thick throat it would give me immense satisfaction and perhaps consign him to the dustbin of lazy, ex pros.

curious yellow 184 Posted September 28, 2021 "you may as well just relegate them now because they've got no chance of staying up" not really analysys is it. . Trouble is it influences people, no wonder refs have no problem giving decisions against us.

We shouldn't need to pin this to the wall, it's the same with Alex C from talk sport, the club should not require any outside motivation to want play some decent football or get 3 points.

Agreed, this is what annoys me about the so often written "pin it on the dressing room wall" line to motivate the players to prove whoever wrong. How about getting motivated to win for the fans? Just a thought 🙄 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgncfc 1,223 Posted September 28, 2021 Mark Lawrenson. 🤪 I mean, really? people will be paying attention to Garth Crooks or Glenn Hoddle next. The game has totally changed since any of them played or managed. They have as much idea what they're watching as we do. Their opinions are even less valid than ours as they never actually watch us.

Ian 1,129 Posted September 29, 2021 I'm all for people having opinions and articulating them, but Lawrenson never seems to be able to back them up or even remain consistent across a single interview. For example, he talks about the gulf between Premiership and Championship being increasing due to wages and transfer fees (I agree, and a reasonable point), and suggests the teams that come up will have no chance of staying up because of this. Then he talks about Brentford: Quote “Before you throw Brentford at me, Brentford I think will win a lot of games because of the way they are. “They’ve an outstanding manager and the boy up front, Toney, is a proper, proper player. But also they play in a certain way, they know their roles and they are going to win games. Does this not completely contradict his previous statement? Brentford haven't spent ridiculous money, but he's saying they will win a lot of games (and presumably stay up) because of their manager and style of play, therefore implying it's not all about money as was stated in his previous statement. It's just lazy, lazy reasoning and articulation. Why anybody gives pundits like this air-time I have no idea - I guess it generates a bit of chat like on this thread and that's enough these days!? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Vince 318 Posted September 29, 2021 No good attacking the pundit if you can't argue with the content.
