Wise after the event

Wise after the event

Preben you didn't go into enough detail which rules you out of my league. I outlined how close we would go which,given a truly awful team, was quite remarkable but I nailed it by identifying how we would blow it through a lack of class. I also introduced the term "Perennial Failures" which just about summarises PNE and the club psyche. We have a "lose, lose" mentality.

As for Irvine talking about having super fit players for next season ? Well, if that's the case then he still hasn't learned one of his mythical lessons. The lesson of concern here is that it doesn't matter how fit his squad are because when it comes to class, which is what really matters, you've either got it or you haven't and all the training programmes known to mankind can do nothing about it !

and there's the rub SG, just why didn't the "professional" scouts who had watched him not know he would never make it at our level ?

If we are going to take a gamble on such players then there is one at Grimsby i.e. Danny North. He's come back from a major injury. He's only 22 and if he could recapture his form he just may become similar to David Nugent. With our limited resources it would be worth the gamble of swapping any of Henderson, Sedgwick, Hawley or Elliott for him.

These players have actually got to want to leave us for a struggling League 2 team first on a couple of thousand less a week. Get real.

No it doesn't rule him out of anything it makes him articulate enough to be able to read between the lines & see you as an `I was right`, `I was right` kind of needy sod that tries to prove he was right by making a wildly probable predictions. Preben rocks 😀 unlike the fools that try to argue with your inane ramblings.

is what many of you accuse me of. Well just a reminder chaps, here i was telling you all what was going to happen.

Subsequent events proved me right and confirmed that there is something fundamentally wrong in the pne club psyche that renders them the perennial failures. No one can deny that burnley only had the same resources and support as pne. The difference is they pulled it off. This was achieved by a board with a plan.their manager got his signings right and their manager pulled off the promised land by playing the opposite to irvine i.e. They were entertaining. While they were at it they also played 10 games more than pne and knocked out more top flight clubs in just 8 months than pne have in the past 40 years !

so here we are. By some minor miracle irvine has got a fairly average pne into the po position despite having the worst forward line it's ever been my misfortune to see at this level.

Incredbily they have a real chance of making the po's.and the club's statement of intent about delivering the promised land ?

"we won't be signing anyone."

truly lamentable. Truly laugahble. It is for this very reason that pne are unable to build attendances. The sceptics know that come the moment of truth pne are the personification of the perennial failures.

Ultimately we could even make the po final this season but we will once again fall at the final hurdle. True grit and determination can only take you so far. When it really matters you need to have a touch of class to provide that moment of genius that unlocks opposing defences. Quite simply we haven't got the required class and if pne are not going to throw mayor into battle on the right wing then they have just squandered a glorious opportunity by not signing flying winger pilkington (who was once on our books !).

You just watch. We will have nonetity (taking up another wage) nicholson in v swansea for his "experience." shortly after that we will be once again observing the inept shennanigans of "winger" sedgwick tracking back for the umpteenth time because he's just given the ball away.

It's apparent that despite being presented with a golden opprtunity of finally accessing that £50 millon - £55 million pot of gold pne will not be able to pull it off. Such a shame.

cecil - shut up and go back to luton
 
marsbars just accept you are wrong. Again you are one of those on here who is very selective in what he remembers and says. That way you distort reality into fitting your own idealised and warped version of the world.

You will, no doubt, recall how many on here have accused me of being "wise after the event." The point I'm making on here is that I have always been prepared to say what I believe BEFORE an event.

Now tell me Marsbar what did you post up here when we made the following signings:

1. Hawley ?

2. Nicholls ?

3. Nicholson ?

4. Elliott ?

and what I said about them at the time proved to be bang on the button. Every last one of them neither use nor ornament.

In what sense am I wrong? I have chosen to deny you the right of meaningful debate because of your obsession with being proved right by making very very easy predictions and being pathetic enough to post `Itold you so` type comments, that is all.
 
Had a great tiime in Malaysia. Flight back however was a bit concerning as we developed engine problems just before flying over the Bay of Bengal which is always a hotpsot for turbulence.

Very interesting to witness the racism in such a country where the government i.e. indigenous Malayan has introduced special financial incentives for their own race to undergo a fast breeder programme. Interestingly the same financial incentives are not available to the Chinese-Malaysian community.

While I was away how did everyone react to Burnley making the promised land on the same resources as PNE ? Plus they played 10 more games than us of which several were epic giant killing events.

That wasnt engine problems - it was your flatulence
 
portishead, in that case the KLM pilot who came out to investigate lied. I could have sworn he was looking out at that engine.
