"Notts County refuse to comment on rumoured PUMA dispute"

[bridpie78]

And I'm equally sure that you are talking bollox. We had exceeded expectations by getting a televised replay against Swansea, but pretending that Fletcher had convinced Hardy that an away win at a Premiership club was a forgone conclusion is just getting silly. Join in the Hardy bashing by all means because he deserves it, but try and keep it vaguely realistic.

You are also wrong on the most "woefully naive and overly optimistic/deluded pre-match message". That has to be the one (can't remember the game) where we were told "you are in for a treat" prediction based on Big Al watching an indoor training session!

I never said it was the 'most' woeful i said the one that sticks in my mind,but at least i remember the interview i watched you can't even name the one you think you might remember.
anyone ever told you that you talk bollox i'm going to guess thats an affirmative.

Fair enough, although you failed to address the biggest pile of bullsh!t in your post where you state that you were sure Fletcher was convincing AH that victory at Swansea was a foregone conclusion. Any evidence to back that up or is it just bullsh!t? I remember the "you are in for a treat" quote, but not the specific game. At least what I put was factual, rather than a figment of my imagination.

Its called an opinion,other people are allowed to have them, mine was based on watching those videos on facebook before every single match that season, My opinion is that Fletcher knew F*** all about lower league football to the point of being deluded about how good we were( he did state that we weren't far from beng championship quality) and Hardy appeared to lap up every word because he was naive and enjoyed being told how great a job he was doing.

You don't always have to have facts to form an opinion, you can sometimes just feel something or read into something from the tiny details, i have the opinion that you're an obnoxious argumentative pr*ck but it may not be factual i can only go on the info i take in.

Its interesting too that the same arrogance was there when we went to barnsley in the fa cup the next season, Hardy wanted and needed the cup run and threw his teddies out of the pram when we were again tonked, i personally think that performance was what sealed kewells fate.

I was there that day, in the upper tier half way line - with my friend who is a from Barnsley. That day, so early in the season I knew we were doomed. Yes Barnsley were top-ish of L1, but we were shocking. A total Sunday league performance, run ragged in every department, 2nd best all over the pitch, fitness and ability to sprint nowhere to be seen. I've also read a lot on here about Kion Etete and how good he was. That day confirmed for me that he would be more Naughty boy than Messiah. He came on for 20 minutes at the end, and didn't touch the ball.

There's a Puma dispute?

Am I right in thinking that everyone writes Puma in all capitals because it is has become an acronym for Pay Up Mr. Alan?

It was Exeter at home in the play off season. I quite liked the optimism he put into those pre match messages. And just because he said it, it didn’t necessarily mean I believed it would come true. Because football innit?
