Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [20 - 26th December 2013]

Was confident of a win before I saw the team, Gazzaniga, Fox and Hooiveld starting in the team is suicide in the premiership.

Our transfer policy is now back firing as we have 6 first teamers out at the same time and the backup is not up to scratch.

That said it is a tough run of fixtures and we wouldn't have picked up many more points. Plus with the transfer window around the corner we can rectify it quickly.

It annoys me that I can never watch saints in the flesh without them turning to ****.

Also, if you are suffering then come and play us. We must be the most charitable team in the country.

Cardiff next :|

Why bring up AVB in response to my post about Adebayor's general ****ishness?

The very first post you made on a subject was quoting someone talking about HOW he was put in the reserves, the entire discussion was about Adebayor being frozen out by AVB, not that he was playing badly and put in the reserves or deserved to be put there. The entire thing was AVB decided to have a physio, not an assistent manager or coach but the physio, tell him to **** off and not come near him again(in probably nicer words).

The very fact that if he deserved to be in the reserves and if the manager wanted that player to take that as a sign to train harder and do better, you explain it to the player. By having someone not even on the coaching staff tell him, it's tantamount to saying "I don't want anything to do with you, let this be a lesson to others". he did it for the same reason he got rid of Anelka and Alex and in the same style, big and showy to try and lead through fear.

Lot's of players get put in reserves, few people get treated like Adebayor/Alex/Anelka did unless the manager is making a point. Think Di Canio and his kicking players off the pitch, blaming a keeper(iirc) and basically telling him to never come to training again. There is managing, then there is doing things for show.

He got rid of Adebayor to make a point, not because it helped the team or he deserved it.

The entire discussion happening with the people you quoted was based around questioning AVB's decision to freeze out maybe their best striker for no reason. I was simply saying why even if a player was bad enough of enough trouble to be frozen out, the professional way to do it is speak with the player and not turn the entire squad against you, it was just another case of AVB being an unprofessional **** with little man syndrome.

And my post was very clearly about Adebayor in general.

Everybody knows you hate AVB. I don't know what he done to upset you so much but you don't need to list 1000 reasons why you dislike him in every post.

edit: but if you want to talk about AVB and why Adebayor was supposedly told to train with the reserves. I don't believe for one moment that AVB randomly decided to make Adebayor train with the youth/reserve side. It makes zero sense and knowing Adebayor, I'm sure there was a reason for it.

the thing is, there doesn't seem to be a reason for it. everyone knows manu is a funny bugger and blows hot and cold. i think AVB was thinking a bit of harsh treatment was the answer (when it clearly isn't) he is the kind of player who needs a pat on the back, not a kick up the arse. the poor sod also lost his brother.

he is probably our best striker and i'd rather he was playing than not because again he showed that he can put a shift in, he tracks back much better than our other strikers.

BAE was loaned out by AVB. clearly a mistake.. i'm not his biggest fan but he is our best lb.
