Ulver Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Good football wins football matches, sport is about winning, this isn't dancing on ice. If you've watched football for any length of time you'll know thats not always the case. May I refer you to Rotterdam 82 for example That was good football, we won. It wasn't what some would call good football. We defended like trojans, barely had a shot while they battered our goal If that exact same performance was played out yesterday i'm sure you wouldnt be calling it great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are calling attractive, pleasing to the eye football, good football, my point is, if you lose, its bad football. You win with good football. If football was about artistic merit they'd have judges on the pitch at the end of each half giving their marks, a bit like Ski Jumping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 6, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 6, 2011 Or... lost games in the Cup DONT count towards the Premier League position and the possibility of being relegated. Which as I keep explaining is irrelevant to the point I'm making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picicata Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Stay for now. Should have replaced him back in December but it didn't happen. Come the summer get rid and find someone who actually wants to do the job. Never has a permanent manager felt so temporary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claret75 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 If Bob had a sex change he would be my Auntie. If this, if that, if the other. The league table doesn't reflect 'ifs' it just reflects 'whats'. But the point is, we're playing good football and not only playing good football but creating good chances. If we keep playing this way we'll easily stop up and probably be top 8. One thing the table does reflect is the amount of problems we've had here this season. It's no surprise to me that we're struggling, I said at the start of the season I'd be happy with finishing halfway and top 8 would be good. I haven't changed my view.

NowDoINotLikeThat Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 poll needs a third option- i doubt no one for instance would want Houllier sacked now. But would imagine most would think his position would need to be looked at in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienvillan Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Sunday 6:23 and 52/48%. Clear majority, Houllier should stay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted March 6, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 6, 2011 When talking about chances of staying up in the LEAGUE, I thought it's obvious that you talk about league form and not a cup game where we were missing 5 of our best performers. You keep saying this, the more it gets said doesn't make it any more relevant to my point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alienvillan Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hey, what's going on? You win football matches if you play good football. Sport is about winning, ... and good football. You can't win football matches without good football. Ski jumping my ass. Bollocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Stay. Wolves are in for a world of pain. Wolves will be full of confidence after today's result, while Villa will be feeling like their manager has no confidence in them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
