No one but you has said we should throw in the towel but the reality of the situation is we're down 7 or 8 players and doing it tough. I'm sure you'll agree that radford and the youngsters he's developing have done an amazing job for us even to be near the top 4 given the season we've endured with injuries but the cold, hard facts are that if the teams above us win their games in hand we'll be 12 points behind saints, 8 behind wigan, 6 behind cas and 4 behind wire. That's a lot of ground to make up and we're reliant on those teams losing enough games for us to be even in with a shout. Difficult at the best of times but a really tough ask with the injuries we have and when players are likely yo be back.
Another thing to bear in mind is we've yet to win a game away from the Kcom against any of the current top 8 (still a couple to play) and also lost away against 2 of the current bottom 4 so it doesn't seem likely we'll go on a long winning run to me.
Just my opinion of course and I'll carry on watching and enjoying games but it doesn't alter my opinion that we'll finish between 5th and 7th this season and I see no point talking the prospects up just so I can have a dig when we don't achieve
resorting to abuse/personal comments, didn't take you long did it! You came up with the defeatist talk in a similar vein to coffee lady, I responded that we might as well jack it in then if we've no chance of qualifying for top 4 as you suggested, given your attitude toward our prospects my comment was in the same vein as yours You dismiss/write the team off so easily and expect people to not be annoyed by that comment when it doesn't have any factual basis (we are still within reach of the top 4 for a start off) never mind simply be ignorant of the effort against the second placed team with a side missing 7 regulars, losing one of our best players and at least two well under par fitness level wise going into the game. 'just your opinion' stinks of I've given up on the team, we may as well pack it in now, just like coffee lady, well done to you both!

No abuse, I merely said you were acting "like" an idiot, not that you were one. Thicken your skin a bit and life will be easier.
As for the rest, again you offer no real response. Think about why you think we'll finish top 4 and come back with a reasoned response

It's interesting that multiple other posters, bonaire, Sebasteeno, World of Redboy, WIZEB etc concur yet he still targets individuals despite Karen's last chance saloon warning. He slates "negativity" then launches another anti-Radford diatribe. Complex.

I notice he hasn't posted again on his thread about AP failing to deliver on his promise to develop young talent after everyone disagreed with him.

Considering the fact ,that we are 5th in the league ,and we have played a big part of the season with several first choice players,missing through injuries,etc,and filling in with the young lads,I don't think the team have done too bad.ok,we are out of the cup and will struggle to make top 4.but poop happens.there has been some dumb play at times,but I believe,when the injured players return,we could get some surprise results.

Maybe he's still cycling around with mater
He won't reply, never does when he has been found out.
Did anyone notice the lack of arguments last week?

The amount of times I personally have pulled him up on his "youth" arguments for him to not respond, only to regurgitate the nonsense a few days/weeks later on another thread is ridiculous.

Yep. There's one common denominator. I can't understand why he bothered to come back after his ban, can't be good for his stress levels.
