crookesey Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Yes, but at least the match food is exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesey Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Are we comparing exciting football played badly with methodical football played well? I recall the likes of Francis, Waddle and Sheridan participating in the latter, until they could break through to play the former well. Aimlessly running around in circles only to be beaten by boringly better players is not how I want to watch my club play, very successful Arsenal sides were often classed as boring.

Yep George Grahams boring boring 1-0 to the arsenal, god they could be awful to watch, methodical they used to call it. I used to hate games v Liverpool back in the 60s, they could be pretty methodical, like a football equivalent of chess, Leeds would press you back into your own penalty box, Man U would just try to score more goals than you, everton tried to outpass you and liverpool just bored you to submission!

crookesey Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 At least if a club pays boringly successful football it proves something, this is that if they can succeed in one area of football that it is possible to succeed in another. I would much rather attempt to succeed from an area of strength than from one of weakness, even if it is boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Watford sack their manager. Don't understand decision, given Watford are not in relegation zone and at 14th place, quite ok for a team promoted. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58778752 Edited October 3, 2021 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooks Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Hate to say it but ol' Neil Warnock's on borrowed time how can a side beat the blades and the same side lose to hull. Think next two home games posh and Barnsley win both might save his job. The team's not consistent like most teams manager always the scapegoat. . Friends said to me the ex Watford geezer is in the frame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
