The Official Knee-Jerk Thread

Postby Inchpräctice » Thu Apr 03, 2008 10:37 am

This thread was created for two reasons:

1. To allow everyone to air their post-match grievances and in a fit of anger shout "CLICHY IS SHIT - SELL HIM NOW!" just because he made a mistake, without anyone having to type the usual response of "Now come on, calm down he's been great for the whole season up to now, let's not overreact etc. etc."
The thread title speaks for itself.

2. To allow all the impatient fans who expect all our teenagers to score hatricks on their first ever 9 minute sub appearances to express their disgust when they don't.

Feel free to type things like "BENDTNER IS SHIT!" or "THEO IS SHIT!" and "SELL THESE TWATS IMMEDIATELY" because this thread is your rightful and spiritual home.

They should all be forced onto the estates of hackney for some community services in primark shirts and get rid of that manager :P Which seems to be the general opinion on 666

thing thats starting too piss me off

ok everybody including me is saying that we need new players, but we arent going to get any untill the transfer window opens, so maybe we should wait until then instead of everyone stating the obvious problem, in every thread on this forum


lets focus on the players we have at the moment, and will have untill the end of the season before we all talk about who we need.

Come on mate, I hardly think it's fair to pin the knee jerk doom merchant label on those of us who recognise a problem and are not afraid to speak out about it.

It would be knee jerk if it was off the back of one result, but in all honesty, when was the last time you can honestly say you feel we have played well, aside from the Milan game.

It's not knee jerk, it's honest, blunt and necessary!

I agree with you that calling players shit is going too far, but some of us are far from knee jerk :sundae:

I'd love to participate but I think we are going to beat Liverpool at Anfield and go through, so unfortunately I can't.

I'll get in on this. Get rid of Eboue, or at least bannish him to the bench, the best part of his night was when he ran off the pitch to be subbed. He gives us nothing on the wing except false hopes.

Yes indeed, despite the best efforts of my NHS surgeon.

Absolutely spot on mate, and you Arseman.

If you're not a knee-jerk merchant then you need not feel that this thread is aimed at you.
I agree that we haven't played that well lately although we played superbly against Bolton and Liverpool (just made mistakes in the first and were unlucky and innacurate in the second).
However I don't believe that a slight dip in form is a reason to start naming players who you want to get rid of and players who need to be bought immediately.
Eboue was crap against Liverpool but the boss will not sack him tomorrow and if he decides to keep him at the end of the season I will respect his judgement as he knows a lot more about Eboue than I do.
Manure have lost more games than us this season but they didn't lose them all in a row so people don't say things like 'Major crisis at United - players not good enough'.

A bit of perspective is what's needed sometimes. :sundae:
