  1. I was born in 1984… and in my lifetime (and my opinion) we haven’t had a better goalkeeper…

    Emis performances for us eclipse:

    Spink

    Bosnich

    Schmeichal (I know he was the best in the world at the time, but Emi has done better for us!)

    Freidel

     

    those are probably the whose who of best goalkeepers we have had in that time… and Emi has flown past them regarding performance levels 

  2. Dublins hattrick against Southampton on just his second appearance for us…

    Living in the New Forest, the locals weren’t too happy with him at all… but it certainly put a smile on mine and my families faces!

    Absutely nothing to do with their one world class player in the last decade picking money over football 

    To be fair, I blame Man City…

    Their owners, their players…

    but most of all, the blame lies at the feet of their fans…

    They deserve every atrocity known to man…

    Fair enough. Daft comparison. Bayer have never won the league before though so it will be a shock if they pull it off.

    There is an inside joke in Germany that they are the “almost” team…

    Always the bridesmaid, never the bride - that kind of thing…

    Leicester weren’t even the cleaner at the registry office the year they won it 😂

    I like him but it’s bit of a concern when a team can sell their best player and then be in contention to do a Leicester.

    Are you comparing Leverkusen potentially winning the Bundesliga to when Leicester won the Premier League?

     

    Thats a bit of a stretch… Leverkusen have been one of Germanys biggest teams for years (despite the fact that Bayern had a monopoly on it with Dortmund being the only side seemingly capable of challenging them)… Leverkusen had had regular European football for years…

    Leicester had only just avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth and then went on to win the fairytale of fairytales

  7. Why is he further up the pecking order than Chambers?!

    How did this bloke end up on the books at Barcelona?

    I trust Unai to the ends of the earth with his decisions regarding our club…

    but some of them I don’t understand…

    and the continued inclusion of Lenglet is one of them…

    The melt down on here about Unai by some posters is truly remarkable.

    UE is the best manager this club has had in donkey's years.

    But, as with any manager, does he get everything right? no of course not. We have come so far in such a short time with a smallish squad. It's quite remarkable to be where we are.

    He's been here in just over a year and we've had a fantastic year of watching good football, great results etc and now we find ourselves in the top 6. We could only have dreamt that at the start of the season.

    Arguably with the players, squad, injuries etc we are, and have been, punching above our weight to get where we are.

    I can only assume that some of the comments on here are borne from frustration, a lack of football knowledge or just trolling for effect.

    What UE has achieved in the time he's been here is nothing short of fantastic. 

    In my opinion, this level of form is just a short term blip. We were not bad today, far from it. If we'd have come away with a draw people on here would have been playing a different tune. Our decision making in the final third was poor today, It's the fine margins.

    We are still in a terrific position and between now and the end of the season we will win a lot more matches than we lose. 

    UE was appointed on the 24th Oct 2023......he needs far more time, more transfer windows to change personnel. Yes it's frustrating of course it is, but stick with him, back him and we'll be fine.

    Keep the faith.....UTV

     

     

     

    The kicker with this is that even if he wanted to get everything right, he has limited means to do so…

    Hes doing so, so well with what was left to him from previous managers… we’ve had some nasty injuries to key players and we have punched well above our weight…

    Hes had 3 transfer windows now and it’s clear that he doesn’t want to spend money for the sake of it to make up numbers… He has actively wanted to sign players who will be a valuable asset to the team… and id say, considering who he has brought in, that he has done that very very well…

    The days of Sylla, Beye and Holman are long gone…

    I like Cash. I think the problem is we are growing as a team and he isn’t on the levels we are aspiring too. He’s fine for the time being though.

    Exactly…

    when he was signed, we needed a player of his calibre - and he fit the bill magnificently at the time - but we have rolled on much further than his ability will allow him to keep up with…

    The management structure and quality of players around him have improved significantly since he signed and, as shitty as it sounds to say about someone who has been brilliant for us - there are better options out there for us who we are now more than capable of convincing to play for us

  10. He’s become a squad player in the making…

    Unai will want him replaced by someone significantly better…

    At least with Moreno and Digne there is competition for the LB spot…

    I get the feeling whoever Unai has lined up for RB will be light years ahead of Matty… and as much as it sucks for Cash and I feel for him and wish him the best…
    What the club (and Emery) wants comes first

    As for the wife analogy, surely a more fitting and accurate analogy. Is you look to move to an employer who pays more and wins more awards.

    Not to mention moving to an employer whose blatant breaking of anti-competition rules almost put “your club” out of business…

     

    and on top of that, cheating to help them succeed against “your club”

     

    all whilst crying to the media and putting out this false front that you have “your clubs” best interests at heart…

     

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…

     

    id rather see that word removed on fire in a Man City team bus with all of his pals than represent our club again

    Dunno about you, but I don’t remember ever having a job that I’d dreamt of having since I was a child, where l was worshipped by thousands of people who all loved the same company that I had wanted to work for the entire time, where people brought replicas of the company uniform with my name on the back and where people sung songs glorifying me
