There still remains the mystery of your temporary reform, some time just after the Quins away game IIRC. What happened there? Reminds me a bit of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_Christie#Disappearancethis[/url, though I'm not sure why.

TBH I am puzzled as to why the likes of you and your fellow club parrot (and anagram of you) FA are so obsessed. OK, I was prepared to cut the coach a bit of slack but the bigger picture just does not lead to believe that he is anything else but incapable of coaching our side competently. By all means copy this out toname and shame me at the fans forum (you too Mr Duffy) because there is no reason to suggest that we are going anywhere else but backwards under Steve McNamara.
His 2009 recruitment is questionable TBH and I just have no confidence in him whatsoever. As I have been saying for a while now, he will soon prove me 100% correct.

[iWe're[/i obsessed?
This from a man who has now made pretty much THE self same post, changing the odd word here and there, but saying pretty much the same thing, since the early Middle Ages?
Well, you should know about obsession, that's for sure!

Who said it was ironic? It was a deliverate attempt at trolling which seems to have worked.
The fact that you could see a very small piece of something there would indicate that you either couldn't be bothered to attempt to read it and would therefore try to be clever or you didn't know how (by either using your operating systems magnifier tool or enlarging your browsers font size).
Either way, it was a deliberate windup and trolling attempt. Some of my points were my opinions, some weren't. Move along..

Whoah there, no obsession and no attack intended. I thought the Agatha Christie reference would have underlined the intended jocualrity. Just genuinely interested what happened to make you sympathise with SM for a short while there.
As for the parrot jibe, I've never heard Hood or Duffy compare McNamara to Clement Attlee (or Barack Obama  ). By the way, do you think Attlee was crap? Or do the circumstances in which he became PM have to be taken into account? Just you've never said...

Well, he certainly talks a better game than McNamara
He is an irritating pundit on Sky though - likes to wax lyrical about Saints because his Warrington team were perennially incapable of beating them even when they were there for the taking. Also, for a man who professes to be a more intellectual coach it is shameful he keeps calling the England scrum half "Burrows" all the time. Then again, it isn't as bad as Eddie Hemmings getting Kevin Penney confused with Lee Penny every match - isn't he meant to live in Warrington?

| Just thought of an analogy for Eddie - imagine you don't like your house, but if you were to sell up the market is such that any house you'd get would be likely to be much worse. Would you still sell and move out?

| Quote Asim="Asim"Maybe the coaching staff are just incapable of getting the best out of these players who are, after all, are actually quite good really?
I know some think saying such a thing is heresy, and that no other coach could possibly do any better, but surely when so many players underperform compared to their past exploits at different clubs and under different coaches (and we can add the likes of Newton, Godwin, Solomona and Langley to the backs already mentioned) it seems a pretty obvious conclusion to come to?'"
I think you're setting up a straw man there, as well as falling into Eddie's 'Give me Bennett or give me death' mode of thinking. No one's claiming McNamara is the greatest coach in the game, but he most likely is the best available to us.
Further discussion of this matter should probably take place [url=http://viewtopic.php?t=370043&start=405someplace else[/url.

Yes I am demanding Bennett, and that we win every single game and competition that we enter.
I'm also remembering why there is no point even expressing certain opinion on this board anymore.
