The Martin O'Neill thread (with added sacking #2188)

[not3bad]

No.

[paul_e]

Did we really need a bit of thread necromancy for another bit of MON bashing?

I't s not mon bashing, it's lerner bashing mainly, i'd have thought you'd be all for that.

Isn't it about time we just got over MON. He was a distinctly average manager, that's all! It's a good job there was no inter net around when Ron Saunders resigned and promptly crossed the city and took up residency at Small Heath. That would cause total fuckin melt down today. Get a bloody grip & get over it! Saunders, Barton, Taylor, Atkinson, Little and Gregory were all better than O'Neil.

That is all!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

After so many years watching O'Neill's football you can understand why.

We can argue about the right and wrongs of Oneills departure `till were blue in the face, the simple fact is we had some wonderful times under Oneill, and i`d kill to experience them again.

This thread had been dormant over two years till someone resuscitated it today.

Did Robertson refuse to relocate or what ? Just asking

Christ, if Walford hands the bibs out, now Robertson has gone, WHO IS DOING THE CONES?

[rob_bridge]

Must admit since reading and contributing to this thread the more I have grown to dslike him. He got away with a lot because he has lots of friends in the media and the subsequent two appointments were ill thought out car crashes. 

Is it my imagination (and sorry if this has been said before) but wasn't hids record comparable to Gregogry's overall. Albeit the football was generally more entertaining.

It's a miracle !

[pauliewalnuts]

It's over

Lets use the other thread

The away games might have been more entertaining, the home games were on a par with Gregory.

I know that pundits like Lawrenson and Savage change their minds depending on which way the wind is blowing that particular day and Sunderlands form makes MON an easy target but our old mate Robbie on 606 reckons Sunderland are falling way below meeting the basic criteria that MON has always demanded of his players and 'Chappers' is hugely damning of their performance as a team and individuals today. The criticism seems to be aimed at attitude and effort as opposed to just playing badly.

Davey B? You can usually be counted on for a fair, balanced and honest take on things.

We were like that after three or four years, the mackems are feeling that way in less than a year and a half. I guess he really has 'lost the magic' as the pundits keep saying.
