• Its just the headline! But more to the point, it refers effectively to the fact that its a bit insane for a team of players later to have been proven so good individually to have gone down with such a whimper.

  • Have to agree to differ.It’s not only about skill set it’s about bottle and character.Something both the team and SP lacked at the end of the day. (NT) -- HemelRog, Wednesday, February 19, 11:32:54am (5ec0f8a7.skybroadband.com/94.192.248.167)
    • Nothing to do with the style being asked to play? The players being messed in and out of the lineup for no reason. Ignoring giants like Lemina which was just SO bloody obvious... The pointless recycling with no direction beyond passing it round the back 5..It is just completely inaccurate to evenly distribute the issues between players and Manager and put it down to 'bottle'. I can only put it down to you not being able to admit how wrong you were. (NT) -- FF, Wednesday, February 19, 12:08:06pm (NoHost/167.98.162.101)
      • You can put it down to what you want.Mitro was unfit and unprofessional.Parker proved to be a total arse in the end but that doesn’t excuse the insanely talented group of players.We had very little in the way of goal scoring depth.Not sure how that was Parker’s fault.The strange obsession with blaming all the worlds woes on SP on Fulham forums is distinctly weird.And yep I probably gave/give Parker to much leeway.

        • My main issue with Parker that season was that when it was the right time to be adventurous and go for it, he stuck to his default defensive mode. (NT) -- Bexhill Beast, Wednesday, February 19, 01:12:17pm (host86-184-144-110.range86-184.btcentralplus.com/86.184.144.110)
        • Me and everyone else, Amazing how Mitro turned around as soon as he left? He had one bloody foot out the door as Parker was so deluded he was demanding we sell him and buy all new squad upon relegation, before he was escorted from Motspur park with his P45. Harry 'kin Arter ffs, Bournemouth, Brugge, Go on the Burnley messageboard and read a carbon copy of the discussions on here at the time.

          • P2:He is great at producing unimaginative safety first overly defensive drab football that can grind out some sort of success at Championship level but at the detriment of anything creative meaning a totally different system must by employed at the point of promotion for any chance of survival. I truly believe we gained promotion in spite of him not because of him. Ask Stuart Grey who's idea Joe Bryan's free kick was.. Hate the guy when he played for us, when he fucked off to Spurs...

          • Mitro was responsible for his own fitness and attitude.Totally unprofessionak.Doubt Burnley fans will be moaning if they get promoted.Of course he would probably need to tighten things up even further to stay up. (NT) -- HemelRog, Wednesday, February 19, 01:38:01pm (5ec0f8a7.skybroadband.com/94.192.248.167)
            • Thats the thing they are.. but people like yourself are shouting them down because they can't see the wood for the trees. That's your opinion but if the manager doesn't create the enviroment for the player to get where he should be then that is down to them proven by his rapid and effective turnaround upon meeting Marco. He was told by Parker's genius to bulk up (not get fat) but get big ffs.. Marco did the EXACT opposite because could see like anyone could that he didn't need more strength.

              • cont...He also got injured didn't he?.. like properly injured irrc so wasn't all fitness related.. The rest very much is down to Parker.. ffs MAJA was picked over Mitro when HE WAS FULLY FIT.. how can you breathe with all that sand around? SOOOO often people who could see it would complain about how isolated the strikers were.. that is down to management. Mitro's fitness is a small turd in the massive shitfest that was life under parker (NT) -- FF, Wednesday, February 19, 01:49:15pm (NoHost/167.98.162.101)
                • How can yo breathe with your head stuck up your arse?Did Parkerforce him to ignore Covid restrictions (NT) -- HemelRog, Wednesday, February 19, 03:07:55pm (NoHost/31.94.15.39)
                  • I generally agree with you about football Hemel, but Parker was a complete cancer at this club. He was a massively over rated player ( hence his rapid transit around about 10 clubs ), captained us to relegation and then produced the worst football I have ever seen at Fulham. I say that as a season ticket holder since 1984, so I did see Branfoot, Dicks & Mackay etc. His tenure was the only time I have actually wanted to not come.

                    • Fair enough mate.nice to engage with someone who is polite.SP not my type of player but he had quality in his own way.Impressive list of honours/awards.Charlton player of the year,Charlton young player of the year,PFA young player of the year,Hammer of the year(3 years on the trot),FWA footballer of the year and England player of the year.Not bad.

                      • but a shyt PL manager nevertheless.. (NT) -- The Drobe, Wednesday, February 19, 10:57:48pm (host86-149-115-22.range86-149.btcentralplus.com/86.149.115.22)
                        • Very possibly but that has nothing to do with his prowess as a player. (NT) -- HemelRog, Thursday, February 20, 08:49:13am (5ec0f8a7.skybroadband.com/94.192.248.167)
        • P3...and gave them the info on Sess, came back and slimed his way up to Kahn, David Brenting his way into the job..The guy is a total fraud I can't stand him. (NT) -- FF, Wednesday, February 19, 01:36:14pm (NoHost/167.98.162.101)
