he doesnt have a bad squad.. its just bad coaching

I'm not sure about their squad but they do look to me a little thin on quality in all areas . Their goalkeeper Green is shocking, defenders like Dunne and Ferdinand are past it ... A reliance today in midfield on Henry and Sandro , hmmm not for me, and their forwards don't look like they have goals in them.

Bad coaching, sure , I agree with you .. I don't rate Harry anywhere as highly as some do.

Yeah, and who asked the club to buy all those players? Who asked the chairman to buy a past-it Ferdinand on high wages.

Harry has no excuses (though of course Jamie and the red-tops will be digging out the latest spacegoats Dunne and Caulker to deflect blame from good ol' 'Arry)

ouch
 
Once he's done at QPR it may be the end of his career. He might be a bit reluctant to call it quits.
 
Yeah as much as he piissed me off with some his antics whilst he were with us , I don't want to see the man suffer ill health.
 
I am mightily fed up with managers standing in front of the cameras after games basically telling lies. Mark Hughes' post-match comments today just beggars belief. "Swansea's penalty should not have been given." "Rangel fouled Moses". Surely he doesn't believe it himself?

And he's not alone. Mourinho resembles comical Ali at times. Wenger is the same. And probably most of the rest too. I realize they want to protect their own team and their own players, but when things are so obvious than everyone can see them, it just becomes ridiculous.

Even Jamie Carragher was laying into Shawcross, basically said he should concede a penalty every game considering how he holds opponents in the box. Surprised me slightly given the defenders union and all that.

In fact, if Shawcross was to play for England regularly, he would 100% concede a penalty every game.

Carragher is right, but I wonder if he says the same about Skrtel who is equally bad.

Garry Monk said:
The penalty against us is a disgrace and he [Moses] should be punished heavily for a clear dive. The player should be ashamed. I would not be able to go home to my family and show my face — that is how I live my life, for me it is a disgrace.

He’s cheated the ref, and then the ref’s cheated us in terms of giving a decision that never was. You go and watch a million games and you won’t see more of a dive than that. It’s obviously a massive game-changing moment, for me it’s a disgusting decision. How he can’t see that’s a blatant dive is beyond me. I have to live with an extremely poor decision once again. It seems to be coming week after week now, game-changing decisions against us are happening too frequently and it just seems all too easy to be able to do it.

And then goes on regarding head ref Mike Riley:

Garry Monk said:
The whole thing is mounting up now which is becoming a very worrying situation and I don’t hear anything coming back to me from Mike Riley at all which I find poor leadership.

His job is to ring me, my job is not to ring him. He’s supposed to be the head of these guys, overseeing it all and seeing what managers feel and everything like that. But I’ve had no contact whatsoever, so for me that is very, very poor.

I’ve sent a letter [expressing] my disappointment at no contact from Mike Riley but he’s clearly not proactive, he’s clearly not listening to anything I’m saying so I have to go above him to John Williams and hopefully that will send the right message and I can get the right answers.

Mark Hughes said:
I don’t think he [Moses] dived. I think he felt contact, I think he was running at pace between two defenders and the onus is on the defender not to go anywhere near him because if you put an arm across a player running at pace then the likelihood is he’ll be knocked out of his stride and will go down.

Say what?

Mark Hughes said:
At the angle I’ve seen, there’s a definite movement from Rangel to put his arm across Victor and knock him off his stride. In my view that’s trying to impede him and if you do that inside the box when someone’s running at pace you’re in danger of conceding penalties and that’s what happened. It’s a soft one and you can argue about it as much as you like. He gave it and that’s the end of it.

Hope you remember that next time a decision goes against you.

Well they have all learned from the king of bull**** himself, Mr Alex Ferguson. It worked for him.
 
I wish Poch would have come out fighting like Monk has today. We constantly get **** on by refs against the champions league teams, it's long been time for us to highlight this, but the club yet again says nothing, it's like we expect to lose so just don't even bother with it! Gets on my tits.
