Not liked as in personable, warmth, listening to others, changing for the better etc. You don't have to like your own employees/direct reports but if they are effective and achieve. If they are non effective - you get rid. Like is emotional and emotions rarely figure in ruthless business.
Pulis was effective for a time and then became non effective because many put up with the style of football because the thing that mattered most was achieved - points!!! People then quite rightly turned on him when the points did not come in.
Everyone is different. Some would now say they are happy with a better style of football even though it means we could drop into the championship. Others like me, would say they would be happy to see awful football ( remaining games ), if it meant staying in this league! You don't get far for being nice!!!
Rodriguez is a classic example - had he fallen on the floor at Arsenal we would have been awarded a stone wall penalty and probably would have won as we controlled the game. Had Rodriguez dived last night, for sure we would have got a penalty, and had we scored first, it would have changed the match.
Rightly or wrongly in both these two penalty scenarios a class player like Hazard would have dived and got both penalties. Sometimes for being honest or liked you get nothing.
Get the drift Whicka or should, I draw you a picture! ;D
PS - Pardew is not achieving as 8 points out of 13 is pathetic so some will say stick but others will say twist and bring in a top name as a last throw of the dice. I would say twist as something is clearly not right - did not see our players like crazed animals as Jose said Newcastle were - regardless of the result! Some of our players don't seem bothered/committed - why?
No don't get it. You'll have to draw me a picture.
God it's a cup game Saturday that means we have at least 11 days of you posting the sentence. " 8 points from 13 games".
So now you condone diving.
So lets get this straight. You only want to support a football team that makes heaps of money in the top division. Whatever the cost. No love for the FA Cup or lower leagues.
You are everything that's wrong with modern day football.
What's up frightened if we drop down a league you'll lose your free streams.
Staying in the division at all costs -yeah that's right! Seems like Chelsea and other top teams cheat so where do you get for being honest? Jay R was fouled both at Arsenal and last night and had he gone down, there would have been two stone wall penalties - is this cheating? Not really as he was badly fouled so why would you not go down?
Don't ever accuse me of watching streams - I have missed two home games and go to most away matches including Arsenal and Man City mid week along with no nothing cup games ie Accrington! Was you there Whicka as you said you don't go to away games?
Tough task, but we will stop up COYB
Well done lads, but no kissing.
