May 20, 200917 yr but this is one in the eye for those who reckon megson walked in to 'a very good squad that should've been capable of qualifying for europe' 28 players will have left in 15 months of which only three are now playing in the Premier League. thats one quality set of players he inherited
May 20, 200917 yr but this is one in the eye for those who reckon megson walked in to 'a very good squad that should've been capable of qualifying for europe' thats one quality set of players he inherited nolan , anelka and???????
May 20, 200917 yr but this is one in the eye for those who reckon megson walked in to 'a very good squad that should've been capable of qualifying for europe' thats one quality set of players he inherited I dont think most people expected that when he took over in the poor position they were in. There were some decent players (apart from Diouf, Anelka, Nolan, who were crap of course!) , but now the squad is threadbare and lacking quality. Survival now is the main aim.

May 20, 200917 yr Faye left before Megson arrived. We know Allardyce is shit and Megson is a football genius. Yawn.
May 20, 200917 yr We know Allardyce is shit and Megson is a football genius. Yawn. Was there any need for that, cockfeatures? You've just once again shown yourself for being a nobber.
May 20, 200917 yr Was there any need for that, cockfeatures? You've just once again shown yourself for being a nobber. Why, because i have a different opinion to you?
May 20, 200917 yr Why, because i have a different opinion to you? No, because I merely pointed out that Faye wouldn't be in the mix of this discussion because he left before Megson came. So, your post was completely out of context to the thread and other comments, includint mine. Do stop being an argumentative prick and make a valid point.
May 21, 200917 yr Even though I have never been a member, the WA BWFC Downunder Supporters Club have me on their mailing list for events and a match report they get from some bloke called Brian who attends every game. I have never even bothered to look at the match reports until yesterday (must have been quiet at work ). You guessed it - utterly and almost irrationally anti Megson. Checked a few other WABWFCDUSC messages and their chosen term is 'Smegson'. Is WWays the only place where not everyone is so anti Megson that they are consumed with it above all other things? DeanoB would fit right in.
May 21, 200917 yr surely there's more: Anelka, Nolan, Guthrie, Diouf and Meite (although not for much longer)
May 21, 200917 yr surely there's more:Anelka, Nolan, Guthrie, Diouf and Meite (although not for much longer) By the time Gaz and the management team have assembled the squad for next season, there will only be Anelka good enough to get in our first team.

No balls could start an argument in an empty room (frying pan-burnt arse)
May 21, 200917 yr surely there's more:Anelka, Nolan, Guthrie, Diouf and Meite (although not for much longer) hopefully you can add Nolan and Guthrie in with Meite Strictly speaking Andranik is at a prem club although he's out on loan in the fizzy pop league
May 21, 200917 yr Author deano doesn't like it cos he's the one who reckons we had a quality squad.....whenever i read that i wet meself obviously, 3 aint correct - i make it 4, anelka, diouf, nolan and meite - but the point stands most of it was ageing or dross

Anelka,Davies,Diouf.No place for the Swede obviously. Yeah it was a shite team
May 21, 200917 yr Elmander wouldn't have got a game though would he? Anelka,Davies,Diouf.No place for the Swede obviously. Yeah it was a shite team SQUAD !!! Anelka and Diouf both wanted out. Guthrie flattered to decieve, Nolan I would have kept but he has has, like guthrie not been getting in newcastle team. Meite in and out of west brom team. Please do not let ant facts get in the way of your opnions.

DeanoB would fit right in. Unfortunately I think it is. And it seems not only consumed by it but completely irrational and unrealistic to boot as well. So much so that I find myself backing and supporting him to the extreme in many a conversation because there is so much unecessary anti-feeling towards him.

You see, Desperado I think that's what I do. I don't like his style of football and he's not exactly enigmatic is he BUT for goodness sake, he's not a child killer or a terrorist so why people insist on being so venomous and, as you say, irrational, in their hatred of him I feel I must step in and say 'out of order, son' with some of the comments & the obsession they have with hating him. Next thing is, 'oh you're a Megson love'. Noooooooooooooo, you fuckwits, I just don't think everything that's wrong with modern football and the economy is down to him! Rant over!

And in the end we got a place in Europe. So our squad must have been decent.

So much so that I find myself backing and supporting him to the extreme in many a conversation because there is so much unecessary anti-feeling towards him. Spot on. I ain't a big fan of Megson but whilst he is the manager of our great club, I find myself supporting him more than I should to counter the negative comments that are unjustly thrown his way. Big Sam left an aging squad, Sammy Lee saw this but did too much in one summer leaving Megson with the after thoughts of the two managers to sort out - when taking over the club in mid-season with us bottom of the league. They (Megson and his coaches) have done a great job to keep us up again. He and Evans fully acknowledge that the performances over the last month or more have not been good enough. Let them do a proper rebuilding job this summer. As I have said, he has added 2 or 3 quality players (or potentially so in the case of Elmander ) each transfer window. Due to the thin squad he has also had to get in some average players on loan to bolster numbers. Another 3 quality additions this summer plus some squad fillers will surely see an improvement to team for next season.

So much so that I find myself backing and supporting him to the extreme in many a conversation because there is so much unecessary anti-feeling towards him. You and me both mate. I didn't want him here before he was appointed and still have doubts but the poor sod has done a decent job and yet is exposed to some of the most mindless and bitter vitriol I have ever witnessed to someone who is 'on our side'. I really hope he achieves something to make them eat their words.

Sounds like we have had many a similar conversation. One of the lads in the pub introduced me to someone last week and said, "here's a guy who loves Megson"

May 21, 200917 yr We know Allardyce is shit and Megson is a football genius. Yawn. We are having an end of season mongcull, to freshen things up. Can you guess who's top of the exit list?
