    At least we have a management team who all speak English albeit after a fashion.

    Can't see that makes any real difference, given the international make up of our (and most) PL squads.

    What did you think Slav was speaking?

    I see Man U are willing to let Fellini go on a free ..............

    I was talking to someone yesterday about if the players find it easier to understand English with a Croat or Scottish accent...

    I'd be really surprised if that were the case.

    Moaninho frequently talks about how important Fellaini is to his squad/team.

    OK

    I've seen the story now:

    He is out of contract in the summer, and talks have stalled, but the report claims they do not intend to cash in on him in the Jan window, even if they lose him for nothing in the summer.

    My comment about all speaking English was made tongue in cheek. I know Slav is multilingual but looking at our bench during matches it looked as if the rest of them were mute or didn't understand what was happening. Something was stopping any communication getting through.

    Concentration and ability for some of them at the moment, along with positional ability

    Possibly a bit scratchy.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Herb, the website's a mess (imho).

    If you go to the 'Teams' tag, the Ladies team is there http://www.whufc.com/teams/ladies/squad

    Confusion if you don’t understand it one bit it’s a language our defenders didn’t understand lol

    Interesting article on the sky sports website about Carroll and Moyes.

    http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11685/11127353/david-moyes8217-west-ham-hopes-could-hinge-on-andy-carroll8217s-fitness

    It seems we play better with Carroll in the side and Sunderland played better with Anichebe in the side.

    The analysis re AC is only for this season, though. So the conclusion drawn by the Sky writer could be false.

    Reading the article a tactic is terrible when you don't win the game....

    I am sure Rio remembers Beckham and Giggs putting in one or two crosses...

    Always reminds me of bbc bias when we went long was hoof ball, when gerrard went long it was a 70 yard inch perfect pass
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Recently, whilst teams like us simply play the long ball, fashionable teams have been 'playing it early back to front'.

    When they do it, it is a clever tactic to counter the high press. When we do it, it is anti-football.

    But it was different. Gerrard usually was trying to pick someone out, with some pace on the ball. We just floated it up to the front where maybe our striker would win a knock down but mostly to no one else, if they weren't beaten to it or giving away a free-kick.

    Grey, a lot of the time we have been 'playing it early front to back'.

    So early that our players weren't yet in a position to receive ;lol

    Not according to comms or pundits...

    With Martin O'Neill likely to walk away from the Irish vitriol (unusual from them, they normally give managers great support), Moyes' appointment seems even more of a gamble to me. I know which one I'd be happier with.... ;luck
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    O'Neill had his chance to manage us and he walked away at the last minute.

  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    O'Neill walked away because someone told the press that he'd be our new manager before we'd sacked Grant which he considered unprofessional.

    He was and still is absolutely right
