Idiots

Totally agree, he shouldn't have to put up with it. Unfortunately we live in a society where a few mindless people think it's ok to do such things. I would just rather see Manse deal with it away from the public eye because make no mistake, we will all get tarred with the same brush. Manse has been...

A couple of months in

"PL21gull"]Are we not getting off the main points of the original post - yes, the fact is that AK loves amassing forwards and particularly wingers, and is wedded to a 4-2-4 formation with no midfield creativity. It just is not working as other teams control the midfield and outmuscle our ...

The last person I can remember being signed as a PM was Ginaluca Vialli (that may well be spelt incorrectly) at Chelsea.

I was a reserve and youth player for Torquay who didn't make it by miles! You can tell I don't know anything because I think Billy Bodin is a brilliant player (sorry Andy! ;-) !). Played against Bristol Rovers but not City. Favourite games were against Argyle. Played with Tommy Northcott mind :keep...

We can't really wait until January 2018 Stefano. :whistle: :lol: I like Bodin as well he's got good balance and can beat a player he suffered last season when Ling was not about. Then Knill came in, you have to remember he's still young living away from home. I would have kicked him up the b---side...

I was transfered to Swindon at 17 was retained at the end of the season untill Bert Head was sacked. Danny Williams came in as manager and all things changed and ...

Time to drop Manse?

Mansell will always be involved in games due to the position he plays in so he doesn't really drift in and out of games. I also think he has been let down by some of the abject rubbish around him but to be fair he has been woefully ineffective in all 5 games I've seen. There are mitigating circumst...

Time to drop Manse?

I've watched all of them. As have many, many other posters on here. Universally, he has been regarded as the weakest of a team full of weak links. These are also people who know enough to spell his name correctly. I'll take their side, thanks. Matt. We will have to agree to disagree, as you are mus...

Time to drop Manse?

Yeah, he was good for an hour and a half, good job that's the only match he's played this season... Matt. Mans has been one of the better players this season don't know what games you have watched! When he does not play well, he does not hide like a few others. There have not been many,that have pl...

Re: Time to drop Manse?

Hmmm, he's managed to salvage the situation in the nick of time. Yesterday only bought him a week though. It's easy to play like that against Pompey, in front of a big crowd and in an important game with a lead to protect. It's quite another thing away at Bury at a goal down. Matt. Mans has proved ...
