I agree, I felt what he was saying was correct and...........

he did kind of admit that Lamberts first season achievement was the most notable.
he also used the word swashbuckling, which suggest we played with a bit more excitement then

(also a lots of complaints about lack of clean sheets if you recall!)

  - What is wrong with net spend? If you sell players. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 19:29:57
    - in that case you have to take net spend over several years (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 7, 19:34:23
      - Yes, net spend over a few years. we are about 13th over 5 years of prem clubs. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 19:36:07

        so your definition of under-achieving is if (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 7, 19:54:05

      - I read it, I don't agree... (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 19:38:38
  - re him saying that looking at net spend in one transfer window is ridiculous (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 7, 19:17:27
    - Still ridiculous though (NCFC) - Huge Small, Jan 7, 19:26:04
    - On his twitter he mentions players assimilating (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 19:18:49

    - That may be the case and yes my (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 7, 19:29:14
      - I think all the teams in the bottom half are similar this season (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 7, 19:41:17
        
        This is just not true. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 19:43:32

        Villa lol (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 7, 19:47:13
        
        Agreed, Lambert is doing a bizarre job there, on similar funds to us. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 19:51:46
        
        Southampton as well... although they aren't bottom half ;) (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 19:45:18
    - it's purely obvious tbf (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 7, 19:23:00

  - ^^^ this ^^^ (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 7, 18:55:44
    - Everyone agrees he has made exceptional signings... (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 18:56:57
- That's a really good, well researched article (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jan 7, 18:50:41
  - It's extremely one-sided (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 7, 18:52:57
    - I don't really understand why he feels the need (NCFC) - norway, Jan 7, 18:56:55
      - I agree, I felt what he was saying was correct and........... (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 7, 19:23:08
    - This is the guy who supported Worthington until the end. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 18:55:05
    - because there was difference of opinion over the Palace / Sunderland results? (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jan 7, 18:55:00
      - That would be his argument, agreed. But it fits very neatly with his thesis (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 7, 18:58:01
        
        I've been there with him too (NCFC) - norway, Jan 7, 18:58:55
      - no-one can argue the Fulham result was decent... (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 18:55:51
- does he mention we could feasibly be in the drop zone after saturdays games? (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 18:47:10
  - or that he supported glenn roeder (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 7, 18:48:40
    - ww2 (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 18:49:04
- stopped reading after the title (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 7, 18:29:55
  - Why not read it and then comment (n/m) (NCFC) - Mozzer, Jan 7, 18:32:56
    - because it's so awful (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 7, 18:34:49
      - He's kept this piece fairly fact based - go on treat yourself (NCFC) - Mozzer, Jan 7, 18:38:25
        
        is the fact we're fucking awful to watch mentioned? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 7, 18:41:35
        
        No. He does mention that we're unbeaten in 2014 (I'm not joking) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 7, 18:49:46
        
        That's an opinion - he's written about some financial facts (NCFC) - Mozzer, Jan 7, 18:46:42
        
        He's a muppet who has supported every manager in charge, even Roeder... (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 18:48:30
        
        Self confessed muppet (NCFC) - Jack Flash, Jan 7, 19:08:56
        
        Interesting. Does that mean you've thought every managerial change was wrong? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 7, 19:11:22
        
        I think I agree with Jack Flash. (NCFC) - Arganth, Jan 7, 19:23:36
        
        even if you think they are doing a terrible job? (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 19:31:45
        
        It's my 'role' to support. It's the board's 'role' to deal with it. (NCFC) - Arganth, Jan 7, 19:38:56
        
        agree (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Jan 7, 19:42:46
        
        superb (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 7, 19:57:13
        
        But it is nice to see the basis of your views. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 19:41:37
        
        Eh? The overall well-being of the club is greater than my opinion (NCFC) - Arganth, Jan 7, 19:49:48
        
        Yes a sheep, you have no view. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 19:51:00
        
        of course he has a view. Did you not read when he said about (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jan 7, 19:58:27
        
        no he doesn't. I have never seen him crittize the managers decisions. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 20:02:12
        
        I'll criticise when necessary. You've obviously chosen not to read that. (NCFC) - Arganth, Jan 7, 20:13:15
        
        Great work mate (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 7, 20:08:08
        
        LOL out loud (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Jan 7, 20:19:42
        
        So he has a different outlook to you? That's alright isn't it? (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jan 7, 20:07:30
        
        It's a view based on zero thought (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 7, 20:10:17
        
        Lol. Dear Mr Pot...You're black. Love Mr Kettle. (NCFC) - Arganth, Jan 7, 20:17:22

        Exactly (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 7, 20:24:04
        
        He even stated it earlier... he has no view. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 7, 20:28:19
        
        See? You don't even read it! You're almost as bad as the troll! (NCFC) - Arganth, Jan 7, 20:31:34
        
        Shhhhh. Adults are talking. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Jan 7, 20:28:18
