Re: Jamal Baptiste

The young man needs to be nurtured and protected not hung out to dry. If Moyes publicly humiliated my son in this way way I would have him by the scruff of his neck and deliver the hardest ‘Glasgow Kiss’ ever. Conversely and ironically when (sick note ) Cornet was off his radar in France “not sure w...

Re: Tottenham vs West ham Official Match Thread

Hamster, entirely correct.

Although my user name has a sharp twist of irony I will remain optimistic until he formation and team are announced.

Jamal Baptiste

Prima facie, I am dismayed to read the pathetic public utterances by Moyes regarding Baptiste. Jamal, a true cockney, joined the Academy when he was 9. He was recognised as a defender that was blessed with height power and speed. He was seen as the new Rio Ferdinand. He quickly rose through the Engl...

Nelson addressed the fleet by semaphore “ England expects every man to do his duty “whereas Churchill rallied the spirit of the country by radio or in person “we shall fight them on the beaches…..”


In my book, Newmarket is modern Winston Hammer :lol:

Re: Tottenham vs West ham Official Match Thread

Newmarket, your Churchillian stand, as we approach this battle with the enemy that we have most contempt for is indeed a sentiment to behold. It is inspirational. However I simply cannot overlook the reality of life which is that that Moyes is our flawed leader whose DNA is so remote from the Church...

Re: Alex Kral

I apologise in advance for this potential brain fart on my part but here is my take on the Moyes we see before us today. Following a dreadful short stint as manager of Man Utd he was unceremoniously sacked and he departed under a very dark cloud. At this point his confidence was shattered and his re...

Re: Alex Kral

Thanks JayK, My optimism will grow with the inevitable improvement in performances. I am currently really struggling to be positive about our manager who, in the opinion of the majority of our fans, has overstayed his welcome. On a more positive note, I look forward to eating copious amounts of humb...

Re: Alex Kral

Kral may have found his way eventually if Moyes had made more of an effort. This is so symptomatic of a manager that has no true leadership instincts or interpersonal skills. If you look back on past player critique, both good or bad, it is clear that true leadership is not in his DNA. He exhibits a...
