Come on Greg! You would have had to have pretty selective viewing of nearly every thread on this forum to miss you pointing out that 'MON left us with a squad full of overpaid deadwood'. It should be your bloody tag-line!

Oh i don't know, i think his 'Paul Scholes can't pass' comment will always be remembered with much amusement.

I liked his three day argument in which he thought zonal marking referred to how you play the ball out of defence. Fair play to him though, after three years of reading his name he's finally learned how to spell Delpth (sic).

Hardly. Anyway i think its how we react to being wrong that's the key. So while most of us take it on the chin, you after spending the best part of 4/5 years telling us what a genius and all round top bloke MON was, decided to disappear under a rock for a good 3 months after he shafted us. But i guess if you're going to be wrong about something, its best to go all out and set a new world record for it. :0)

No idea if O'Neill is a top bloke. Never have had, don't suppose I ever will, as I've told you countless times.Maybe one day it will sink in. Again, for the umpteenth time, not a genius, just a good manager. I base my judgement on results, not agenda-driven bollocks, which is why I don't have to take it on the chin quite as much as you do. Anyway, thanks for the Paul Weller comparison mate, it really means a lot that you would pay me such a compliment while we're having an arguement(sic).

ah come on percy, there's probably the equivalent of the Encyclopedia Britannica of your musings on MON's genius in the archives here. As one of those who saw right through him early on we let you MON-ettes off pretty much scott-free 'cos we're nice like that,  but its an awfully big elephant in the room when you choose to bring up other people's failures of judgement. If i'd spent 4 years defending someone who then basically shit all over the club and his supporters, I guess i'd have probably disappeared as well. hell i'd be going through the archives deleting all my posts. But then anyone who admits to liking paul weller already has a well developed immunity to embarassment. Just buythe originals for god sake. Its probably a hell of a lot cheaper than buying his half-assed take-offs.

Honestly and objectively mate, I think he's a good manager, no more. I really don't think he's done enough to be bracketed with Clough, Stein, Shankley or Busby, and I don't think anybody else does either. As I recall, most of our arguments have been me saying he's a good manager and you calling me silly names and saying he's absolutely fucking terrible, not me saying he's a genius and you saying he's not.

It's as though you have to exaggerate my opinion of MON in order to argue with me. Don't you feel confident of arguing against my view that he's merely a good manager?
