    You jump in to questions directed to say DavyFacts and answer for them. You can't help yourself. Maybe you are going down the Pedro route. I hope not.

    Ironically when I ask you direct questions it can be like getting blood from a stone.

    You really should take a step back and have a look at your posts laddo. You don't seem to realise it, but you are coming across as someone with a weird obsession. The vast majority of your posts are about people who are critical of Ardley. It's a football messageboard, and all of them have posters who are mainly critical. It's just their way of venting frustration after a defeat, that's all. You need to accept that and try and move on.

    There is a case here that Ardley actually fits the owners model for the club. He's a very likeable and professional chap and whether you believe it or not does have a degree of managerial experience. It's clear that the new signings have not all been Ardley's and the fact he is willing to sit and take recommendations from the owners would again suggest he is a "company" man and prepared to support their vision for the club.

    I don't blame him for the defeat on Saturday, it is quite clear that the players once again, like the play off final didn't follow his instructions. He had an unfit one footed left back playing right back, a right back playing who was ill last week, an attacking midfielder who clearly showed on Saturday the sort of form that has kept him out of the starting eleven at the start of the season, an 18 year old loaner up front alongside our best striker who was clearly looking very sluggish and with no real threat off the bench other than a two legged giraffe who really needs to show some potential sooner rather than later and a young midfielder who has a career spanning all of 23 minutes.

    Money already in the bank for the live stream being veiled by comments of fielding a squad for the integrity of the sport. Barnet had one fecking player test positive and they call their game off!!

    I often wonder, if we had a decent manager would he have brought in the same players? How much influence did the Reedtz brothers have? If this DM were to arrive before the next game what would his team be? Probably the same as last Saturday but how would he play them? A new manager would ring his own changes but he wouldn't be so predictable nor to be not flexible enough to make effective changes during the game - see those adjectives? Predictable, flexible, effective?
    We were out-thought that many times that we lost the same number of games as Barrow (even though we played more games), we finished 3rd, had the second best goal difference and the 2nd best defence (by 1 goal).

    So I advise you to "step back and look" recently, and now you use my own advice and offering back. That's just lazy.

    I think you are truly the last person on here to call anyone "weird" with you back catalogue of weirdness. It's like an A-Z. As for obsession? Everyone has a bit of obsession in them. If you want a prime example look at Pedro's posts over Saturday night and into Sunday morning. Wasn't sure whether to laugh or be a little scared lol

    Don't get so butt hurt if someone counters some of the more ridiculous criticisms, moans and Kneejerk reactions. After all we can't all carry pitchforks , and burning torches shouting abuse whilst we pay each other on the backs for the latest unfunny comment at the manager.

    It would be a duller than a Gudjon Thordarson side if that happened.

    Don't worry I will only highlight the absurd , laughably wrong or inaccurate comments although there were too many for me on Saturday I couldn't keep up.

    You've got to have both the Ying and the Yang, it can't all be negative moaning on here from armchair supporters thinking they know about football than the manager. A dash of realism is needed every now and then to keep keep some of the mob in check#angrymob

    As you wish, I was only offering a bit of friendly advice.

    If you want to continue donning your cape, wearing your underpants outside your trousers and screaming "I'll protect you Neal", so be it.

    Only the most basic of fools would still believe I am protecting the manager after explaining it mutliple times. I have you down as a lot of things as you can't fail to hide on her but not a basic fool.

    My stance hasn't changed since last season, if you are still confused it's the same as many on here. It's the same for example as Gump recently posted:

    The manager has no excuses this season, if he doesn't get us promoted I would get rid.

    I also won't be reviewing his tenure every single game which seems to happen. I use the traditional 10 game period, a magical mythical thing on NCM but outside this circus quite normal, quite reasonable.

    If the above makes me your Pro Ardley Poster Boy then that really does say it all about angry mob. If I'm the most Pro Ardley person on here, you really are getting desperate.

    I'm gonna let the owners decide, we can't influence either way on here no matter how much we debate it and go round the houses again and again. It's pointless other to vent any anger that's built up after the full time whistle.

    Now I wonder which Notts player will have a dedicated 'OUT' thread created for him.
    1st Sam
    2nd Enzio
    3rd ???

    I did ask other posters to name anyone more pro-Ardley on here than you, nobody offered any names.

    I've noticed that you joined this forum a few months before I did. You were only a very occasional poster (nothing wrong with that) until Ardley was appointed. Since then you've been all over the board like a rash. You did say "Everyone has a bit of obsession in them", and you could be right. I just don't think many would choose a non-league football manager to be the focus of theirs.

    I'll leave it at that before it becomes handbag territory.

    Who did you ask exactly ???? Surprised you didn't create another pointless poll

    You believe I've only started posting on NCM when Ardley was appointed? That is an absolute beauty lol.

    I was probably most active during the Billy Dearden/Gary Mills period. I've been on NCM a while chap.

    What about people who have an obsession over a football fan on an internet message board who would choose a non-league football manager to be their focus.

    Now that's a lot worse, a lot worse. A little obsession, is fine the problem occurs when the CAP LOCKS get switched on, or when people drop their standards and the needless personal insults and abuse start#yellowcard Some times it results in them having to take themselves away to sit in the corner quietly.

    They get all worked up over an internet football message board. Bless

    Let's get the focus back on all things Neal Ardley the purpose of this thread after all.

    And dont miss my point, when are people going to realise Ardley is useless, Ardley has had nearly 2 years now, brought in nearly all of his own players, so why do people think anything will change if we give Ardley more time ???
