John_Lerwill Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 John, if we fail to win today, will it definitely equal our all time run of games without a home win? Yes, and as I write it's beginning to look as though number 8 has arrived. Eat those words. Eat them all Are you ordering me? :shock: Apart from which I have already expressed my wrongness ... clearly you don't read all the postings. But one swallow doesn't make a summer, they say ...

pacbuddies Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 If Dunne and Bent had been fit they would have been in the starting line up today. Maybe by default a better team has been chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 He was lined up to come to us and McLeish was going to replace him at Everton until Moyes changed his mind. There is no way that McLeish would have been taken by any club other than us. No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Ah well, that goal has saved me a fortune, no need to worry about going to watch us next year, as he will still be here. Talk about mixed blessings :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieB Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yes, documented by the people who said McLeish wasn't in the frame. But also backed up by the Evening Mail reporter - Randy Lerner did meet Moyes in Barbados apparently. And he was lined up to join us apparently but Everton persuaded him to stay because of the crap they were in financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, documented by the people who said McLeish wasn't in the frame. Not just by posters on here. Believe what you want but i have no reason to doubt the person who told me.

Ulver Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Maybe by default a better team has been chosen. Whilst this is often the way ALL managers stumble across a side I'm not sure how on earth Gabby in place of Bent will ever be considered a better team He looks like he wants to be anywhere BUT in the box on the end of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I meant when I earlier said that some better things seem to be happening in spite of McLeish. To be fair to John; it would have been far worse on here, and at full time, if we hadn't scored that late goal. The fans in the ground were not happy with the first sub and McLeish got lucky that Weimann went on to get that goal. I was calling for Weimann to come on but for either Albrighton or Petrov, who were both shite imo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Credit where its due today the substitutions came off for him. There is no doubt he will be here for next season at least so I hope he starts getting things right on a more regular basis. I can't see it though. One thing I have noticed is that he almost seems to revel in fronting up to the fans many of whom he knows are criticising him. The abuse certainly won't drive him out and he won't quit. Quitting is not in his make up. Well not while he is on a couple of mill a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
returnofthemac Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Just my Pennyworth, actually thought team selection ok, got out of jail with late goal. Today it was more than clear Petrov is now at best a 45 minute player, Albrighton ain't gonna make a regular first team player. Herd was outstanding covering Petrov's failures. Hutton actually improved as the game went on. The problem is drive from midfield a quality midfielder playing with Ireland will move this club forward, while at this moment its stagnating.. 30k Villa Fans would have booed today, he got a lucky break, we didn't.... he'll still be here next season.
