Keeping them in the dressing room???? wow how original.. and he shouldn't have bothered as they won't learn fuck all.
I think we all knew that we would be thrashed. What makes it hard to take is not just the fact that our team is having a a disaster of a season, but also the gloating/rubbing in of opposing fans? I think thats why a lot of us are pissed off, we've been on the end of it so many times already. these losses make it unbearable for many of the supporters at work and school/uni for the next week, something we obviously don't look forward to. Also it seems like the team hasn't learnt anything from each time score lines like this happen happen. Did we play with the high line again for example?
REVERSE..
Players kept Sherwood in the dressing room for 45 minutes. Not a happy squad. Why is our manager in THE FUCKING STANDS?!
I thought he kept his players in the dressing room for 90 minutes.
Who's that - Paddington School for Girls?
Dunno. Botanophobia? Hyperopia? Maybe he just doesn't like how Chris Ramsey smells?
Got to give the man credit, at least he's still putting in an ounce of passion even if he's half-witted.
Credit for what? Being two faced? You can't spend the entire match in the stands, bottle the interview, bottle the handshake and then question ANY player. He's a coward. If he had any pride he would have fronted the camera said "I quit" and walked away
I assume by PSG you don't mean the French Football club, more the suggestion;
Please Sherwood Go!!!
Probably too scared to show their faces ...fucking mong of team, ran by a mong of a Chairman.
I posted what he said in the interview a few posts up, he did come out.
Haha look, I've been with all of you bashing on him for retreating to the stands. Some absolute shit. But I've seen many managers in this league just give up, and it's easy to do with all the pressure. When you calm down, I think you'll realize that still having the nuts to dig into the players and demand a response is impressive. I'm not saying I want him around after the season at all, simply giving him props for still giving a fuck.
Woh. Well, Levy may view his retreat to the stands for this one as unacceptable. It's one thing to remove yourself in attempt to control your sideline antics, but to leave mid-game in a thrashing is another thing altogether. Arguably a literal violation of contract.
On the contrary my friend I'm completely calm. What I am saying is that NO player will take a manager seriously when they are yammering on about pride and passion when they don't have the balls to front up themselves. When the fans are chanting "where is our manager" and he doesn't shift from his lofty position in the stands then the players will simply laugh at him the second he mentions bottle, pride or passion
Oh this I entirely agree with. But even if the players didn't listen to him, it's even more commendable that he stay and lay in to them. However, if any of these rumors are true of the happenings in the dressing room, then I'll be damned before I support it. Giving them a good talking to even when the noose is tightening around your own neck is one thing, but spurring any potential physical violence between any party is another altogether.
