The most cliched post ever?

Recommended Posts

First things first, in a word you''ve hit the nail on the head. It

doesn''t take an genius to see that some on this message board will be

eating humble pie. I do, however, beg to differ and have a bone of

contention with your point about leopards changing their spots because

some gave 110% on Sunday. There''s no need to get all worked up because

we didn''t draw a blank at Stoke which proved good things do come to

those that wait. Make no bones about it, Chris Hughton is a man for all

seasons and sacking him now would be jumping the gun. I''m bored to tears

and have had it up to here with people who want McNally to act like a

bull in a china shop, so just give it a rest, it''s like groundhog day

when we lose. People make a song and dance about any defeat, when they

should keep their hair on and their chin''s up and see the glass as half

full not half empty. We must stick together as a house divided against

itself cannot stand, and when we do hit a bump in the road people must

bend over backwards to get behind the lads. If we do draw a blank people

can''t jump on the bandwagon to sack the manager. I''m sure that he has

an ace or two up his sleeve. This season is a marathon not a sprint and

he who laughs last laughs best. What we don''t need is Hughton looking

over his shoulder wondering if he will get stabbed in the back, we need

him to focus on what''s ahead and keep his nose to the grindstone whilst

he is in the hot seat as it will take it''s toll. I do agree though that

at times he should show some backbone and go for broke and when we''re

behind throw the kitchen sink forwards because nothing ventured is

nothing gained. It is time to nip in the bud those bringing up last

season as it''s all water under the bridge and when push comes to shove

some of the reactions have been over the top.Well to coin a

phase, I''m going to call it a day and take the easy way out. I hope that

City give Chelsea a run for their money, but no matter the result don''t

get your knickers in a twist and get all bent out of shape. That''s a

wrap, I hope you can look at this through rose coloured glasses and see

it''s all a bit tongue in cheek. Wink [;)]

Sorry, I know I posted this on a different thread, but I spent a good hour on this and wanted to give it a thread of it''s own.

Clearly a poster who has his head in the sand and really cannot see the wood for the trees! It''s like the blind leading the blind,.But it is a free world and we are all entitled top our opinions and rather than being at each others throats we can all come together, agree to disagree, let sleeping dogs lye and all pull in the same direction.  It is after all not a matter of life or death!

 

It''s more important than that!

You can''t see the wood for the trees and really missed the bus on this one.

Heaven knows, then, what a bad hour would produce...

Whilst I appreciate this thread has been as useful as a lead balloon, I''m at the end of my tether with people calling for Hughton''s head on a platter. It might be an ill fated idea, but I think we should stick with him until we find ourselves up the creak without a paddle. If it does all go belly up, I''ll come to those of you who have an axe to grind, with hat in hand and hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive.

[/quote]Agreed with ''head in the sand'' viewpoint.  My view is that a leopard does not change its spots. We won the game at the weekend because it was a must win game. Hughton only appears to set up to win away when his back is against the wall, as it was against West Brom, Man City etc at the end of last season and now against Stoke this season.  When he is in his comfort zone he is happy to settle for boring draws and that attitude will always keep us in the lower end of the table. Until I see us setting up to win away from home and putting the opposition on the back foot week in week out I will certainly not agree that he has changed.

For me, Hughton has to set his stall out, early doors, and knick it at the death. Keep a tempo, bang a bongo, and really get at ''em. Shut the crowd up, stick the pig skin into the old lobster pot , and make sure the Big Lad doesnt hit the Beans on Toast .

 

That should do it.
