I think you're missing the point - the clue's in the phrase 'post-Leicester'. Maybe take a moment to review the 25+ pages of back and forth on that thread to get on board with the controversy? |

Slattery's genius Irishness, anger, and compulsivity moves and moved me. I hope he gets his own berth in heaven. |

It's all a bit depressing when we feel forced to cast ourselves as plebs grasping at crumbs (paid for or not) from Nourry's table. Increasingly, I feel I'm just not 'umble enough to be a football fan in the modern age. |

Very good prospect we can hopefully keep nurturing for some time. |

Yes, you're spiffingly hilarious! You couldn't be much of a caricaturist if you appeared in your very own Spitting Image movie! If I had a pound for everyone who plays the man (me) not the ball (my points/arguments) on this site, I could bring Mo Salah to QPR!
More importantly, I'll be most interested to see what Nourry has to say, as I think we do need some balance about him from the real world (or what passes for such in football). [Post edited 14 Jan 18:16]

Strangely, I also watched it on a good stream, and could see the ball and players fine from start to finish. The fog obviously also didn't stop us playing fluently for half the first half, and Leicester hitting us for six. [Post edited 14 Jan 15:43]

No idea what you mean by 'bait', mate. I do what anyone else does here - post and put up polls etc. relative to what I have opinions on (and am interested in other opinons on, as with this post). In that sense, anything anyone posts is 'bait'.
If you don't want to 'take the bait' (i.e. respond to my views and discussion), even if others would rather seethe with their own resentments and resentful assumptions and projections, it's rather easy - just don't! |

Amazing! What a scapegoating, resentful person you are! Maybe find one or two things to do that make you happy/ier? Just a thought. [Post edited 13 Jan 23:33]

OK, you win, as it seems so important to you to score resentful points. A fan posts a poll on a messageboard, and you feel the need to respond like this. As I say, it's all about you, really. Have a great night. [Post edited 13 Jan 23:31]

It wasn't an 'opinion', it was (and indeed is) a poll, with a wide spectrum of possible answers. What part of that are you not receiving? [Post edited 13 Jan 22:59]

Good luck with that - I'd prefer to avoid that kind of cultism and conformism! Why not just speak for yourself as an individual and think for yourself rather than purporting to voice this or that on behalf of a presumed collective? [Post edited 13 Jan 23:01]

Fascinating range of responses, which say, I feel, and not for the first time, much more about the respondents than about me.
Quite a number of people have voted, which is the main thing, and which was my hope/aim. It's extraordinary how many people can't bear to just not vote but instead need to turn a perfectly reasonable, and topical, poll into an excuse to bash the poster over the head. The level of self-righteousness, preachiness, and scapegoating resentment by the few tells its own story.
I think, and have said many times, that I like and admire Marti in many ways, but, for my own part, this weekend changed my view of him - not catastrophically, but significantly. But I'm just one vote and one man. I was, and am, genuinely interested in what others thought, and think, and thank them for expressing a spectrum of views. That was the idea, and that's what a decent poll here is for, surely - to hold up a mirror on behalf of those who contribute positively and passionately. [Post edited 13 Jan 23:26]

It's all about opinions, and it's an interesting question, I think, after all the on-board discussions, which is why I put it up. If you don't agree/like it, just don't vote! |

Reply | A mist opportunity as Foxes hit QPR for six – Report
at 15:25 13 Jan 2025
On the mendacious managerial rhetoric side of the weekend, the pathetic post-match interview(er) upped my seething to strangulation fantasy level - unlike me, as I'm normally so sanguine ;-)
If I have to hear one more of that 12-year-old's sudsy 'how important is it that we keep our confidence up/take the positives/don't understimate the challenge of Roonyless Plymouth?' questions, I'll tunnel Nick London back into the boardroom personally with the pistol they used on Paladini and hold Nourry up till he's re-employed.
Here's my Q for the FF: 'Marti, if you so love the F A Cup, you've got a funny way of showing it! What part do you think you might have played in your first six-goal defeat in football? Just asking for 5,000 others on the day.'
PS I'm not a gun-toting man, but I want answers. [Post edited 13 Jan 15:36]

Northern is right. What your calculative, capitalist/strategic post unfortunately overlooks is the fans themselves. Where do they fit into this joyless balance sheet? Football is about joy, spirit, and reaching for the stars/glory. (And misery - but you get my point.) [Post edited 13 Jan 11:42]

Hear hear and thrice hear! It's not the Cup that's wrong, it's the forces and factors of cynicism and capitalism that drag it down that make one weep. The fans and clubs who are complicit with that are part of the problem. A fish rots from the head down (even though it technically doesn't, actually). Of course, it therefore starts with the FA themselves, who should do the decent thing and disband. [Post edited 13 Jan 11:31]
