Noelie 103 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Astounding!! In a filmed press interview how the fuck can Carver say Riviere was astounding today. I want some of what he's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graing 15 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Astounding!! In a filmed press interview how the fuck can Carver say Riviere was astounding today. I want some of what he's on. Maybe he was using it in a different context, kind of like the "breathtaking" bit from an old Seinfeld episode..... No, he's really that out of touch with reality.

OTF 6134 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Riviere was better than previously, sadly that's not saying much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12452 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It's a bit ridiculous how over the top elated he seemed with the performance and result. There was some response from the players I guess and it's the best they've played in a long time but we only managed a draw at home to a team that have fuck all to play for and look like they already have their suitcases packed. It's clear that yet again we're relying on something special from Perez or Cisse to have any hopes of picking up points, just hope QPR and West Ham look as unmotivated as West Brom looked today.

Rayvin 4963 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) He's probably just delighted that he's stopped the hugely embarrassing run of defeats. I agree basically though, the whole team is continuing to play utterly shit bar a few individuals having the odd decent moment. Carver alienated the entire dressing room last week by the sounds of it and is now probably trying to pull them back on board. He's utterly hopeless at this management stuff, it's actually astounding that a) he's exactly as bad as we all thought he would be, b] that he's exactly as embarrassing as we thought he would be and c) the board couldn't see this coming.

Howmanheyman 26720 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The board couldn't see it coming? Charnley probably thought it was an easy win for himself to show to his boss. Money in the bank for old manager, no outlay for new manager, enough points on board if he's shit and save half a season of wages on new manager or carver does well and it's seen as shrewd and cheap appointment.

Howmanheyman 26720 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 To be fair to him, the squad has been shamefully weakened over the last couple of years. He's still not up to it, but as ever, the problem stems from above as I honestly don't think future England Guvnor, Pards, would've done much better with the rank bad personel we've had to pick from.

Howmanheyman 26720 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Was talking to a bloke at work the other day who was once running the line at a local game a few years ago when Carvs was still playing. Apparently he was still acting the cunt even then as he stormed over from one side of the pitch to the other have a go at a raised flag by my workmate. My workmate is getting on a bit now and a real character but had a, well, lets say 'a bit of a reputation' back in the day so when Carvs 'stormed over' to within twenty yards of the bloke in question he obviously twigged and thought a bit better of his hardman act before giving the thumbs up to my colleague and getting on with the game.

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Carver's son had a birthday party down at Royal Quays years ago, group of kids playing 5-a-side. Carver joins in, doesn't mess about. Lunges into a tackle full blooded and wipes a kid out, bearing in mind it was a 10th birthday party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It was a 1-1 home draw it was one point we needed all 3 yesterday after Sunderlands win. The way Carver's going on you'd think we were safe in fact we're far from it. For a few minutes yesterday when we dropped to 18th i thought yes well at least this might get rid of Ashley. What an awful thought to have but i suppose it's the realisation that this is how our future seasons could pan out if we stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26720 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Heard a tale last night of a chat between a fan and an ex-England and Man U player regarding our man Carver. The ex player knows carver well and is pally with him. According to the tale I heard the player stuck up for carver and said Carver has been offered the job next year but told the ex-player he would knock the job back if we get relegated. Don't shoot the messenger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8973 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 There is no reason to employ Carver full-time beyond people expecting the absolute worst possible scenario at every turn because things are shit. People say Ashley traditionally promotes from within yet; Keegan wasn't here, Kinnear wasn't here, Shearer wasn't here, Kinnear wasn't here, Pardew wasn't here. So far he's promoted Hughton and Carver, both in temporary positions. People say he's terrible at appointing managers; Keegan was so obviously an effort to get the fans on-side, as was Shearer, Hughton's promotion was warranted and praised by most, Pardew is a bang average manager but achieved what Ashley wanted. Kinnear and Carver's promotion have been disastrous, but in my eyes Ashley is 3/6. When he's good he's average, when he's bad he's awful. Jesus, people were saying it was definitely going to be O'Leary. Then it was nailed on McClaren, now it's definitely Carver. I'd not be surprised to be linked to Redknapp, Atkinson and Curbishley.
