Robbo Robson taking the piss

[Petyr]

From BBC

White Hart Lane? More like No Heart Lane. A bunch of fancy chancers that make Alves look clinical. Bentley is the benchmark. You wonder how much precedence practice takes over, say, his hair. The lad needs a Brylcreemectomy and a wake-up call.
In a couple of weeks I expect Redknapp to be talking about Darren Went. Deadknee King and Woodgate look about as solid as soup and Gareth Bale could be replaced by a hay bale without any noticeable difference.
If there was any justice in the world, Burnley'd be in the final and you'd struggle to find a Spurs fan who'd disagree.
That a club that can splash cash around like they do and still end up with a lumpen mess of a side that couldn't find each other in a phone box on a cloudless day is a wonder of our times. There's going to be a summer sale that'll make Woolworths clear-out look like an average day at Harrods.









Well, maybe he goes over the top in some respects but he says some truths IMO.

 

[VegasII]

The press love is when we're shit - it gives those sad, pathetic bastards even more infinite amounts of shit they can churn out.

Band wagon bollocks.

 

[freeeki]

He's still a tosser.

 

[Dannyspur]

:clap: there's someone who knows a bit about football

 

[idlepete]

I :lol:ed @ Deadknee King. But he should have stopped there, the Gareth Bale line is a moronically piss poor bit of punning.

 

[Dougal]

Who the fuck is Robbo Robson?

Actually, I don't care...

 

[JustinSane]

I know I'll get a boat-load of abuse for this but, if you read between the lines, too much of what he says is true - apart from the bit about Woody.

At the end of the day Levy has spent half the national debt of Bolivia and has precious little to show for it. I still think Harry is the man but it's going to be a painful period for us while he moulds the team into the shape he wants.

 

[hepta]

he makes a couple of valid points but its a very poor article, based mainly around trying to show how hilarious he is with the nicknames and metaphores. Also what has justice got to do with a game of football won fairly even if it was over a team from a lower league? I have a great deal of respect for Burnley, but we beat them fair and square over two legs. its not like we went through by a dodgy penalty decision

 

[bomberH]

Very annoying.

Harry has sort of helped bring this on by going public on players attitudes etc. Don't get me wrong, i agree with what Harry says and stuff like the Bent miss is fine, because it's just him having a gentle dig. But when he continues to talk about how rubbish Bentley has been or single out 5 players from a squad of 30 that show any fight, or talk about sulkers, or talk about how lacking our squad is (despite nearly every player being an international)... he's asking for trouble from the media. And as has been stated already, this is just tossers jumping on the bandwagon.

We all know Bentley's been poor, we all know who has fight and who hasn't, we all know one or two players' noses would be put out of joint when someone else in their position joins, but he doesn't have to say all of it, because this is the kind of shit it brings with it.

We could still have the last laugh if we sort ourselves out and maybe get another player or two in. We could (won't) end up with 3 cups and a mid table finish. We have a great chance of winning the Carling Cup and a good chance to progress in Europe. And a very good chance of staying up. We could well be shoving it in these media fucknuts faces come the end of the season. I think Harry will lead us to safety and shut a few people up next season, but one thing that would help our cause and see less of these sort of articles appearing, is if he keeps things just a little more schtum in the meantime.

Maybe apart from me. After all the aim of football is to score more goals than your opposition.

Burnley played very well and we were crap, but honestly, the way they are going on about it as if Burnley are a bunch of part timers, when they are about 10 places below us.

 

[Mr Gamgee]

He's still a tosser.

Hes nearly as bad a the Mails 'hatchet man' who write the biggest load of balls ever.

 

[punky]

I'm sorry, but I still don't feel guilty regardless how many papers try. We won over two legs, as the FA intended, fair and square. I couldn't give a monkey's how Burnley fans feel.

People question our heart and determination, but everyone forgets that Burnley, with 1:30 to go should have been defending a bit deeper, and when the goal in they gave up instead of throwing everything at us to try and force it into penalties.

 

[leffe186]

Agreed. I could question Burnley's heart and determination in the second half at WHL - they let in 4 goals in no time at all against a team that was lacking in confidence and who were 1-0 down. If we would have put our minds to it (not something that has happened much this year) for the last 20 mins we'd have won 6-1.

We got through a tricky tie, in tricky conditions, with a tricky squad. We were massively disappointing but this is the biggest media & fan bandwagon I've seen since the week Keegan left Newcastle. Chelsea, Fulham & Arsenal lost to Burnley, Villa lost to QPR, Newcastle at home to us (when we were really struggling) and Man City lost to Brighton. Just keep that in mind when any fan pipes up.

Lastly, remind them that 3500 people made the trip in horrible conditions to a game where we had everything to lose. Would every other club be able to say that?

 

[hybridsoldier]

who the hell is he?

just 1 read of this shows you its very unprofessional and biased piece - not even worth a second glance, this bloke must be some 2 bob idiot, I heard the BBC were cutting costs but DAMN!

 

[cheeseman]

Actually, if you read some of the posts from the night we played Burnley at Turf Moor, 90% of forum members agreed with this guy.

 

[Babylon22]

i love it when the media hate us. the last minute goals against burnley were awsome.

So he's the manager and says what we have allm been saying week in week out for a year and a half but "he doesn't have to say all of it".

What sort of a statement is that? So he should just hush it up like everyone else has and it'll all be sorted out behind closed doors like it hasn't been before? No! He has to say it all and he is completely right.

I wonder if the kids will show the seniors how to fight on Saturday or will we find the crap has rubbed off on them. Lets see just how deeply ingrained the laziness and mincyness has become.

 

[BOX68]

Got to say that at times this club is embarrassing to support. what he says is close to the truth

 

[Kendall]

It would happen to any club that'd spent multi millions like we have and are struggling where we are.

We can't take all the plaudits and praise that we took when we finished 5th and then kick up a stink when someone sticks to boot in then we're doing shit.

He's just said what a load of people on here have been saying.

Apparently Bolivias national debt is 4.5 Billion USD
