Without Taarabt and Faurlin

[paulmason]

I do agree Neil does play mind games or says the right things, he has no other choice and has to keep everyone happy, hope he continues to do the same all season... it works wonders.

If someone as simple as W12_Ranger knows that NW does not really mean what he says, surely the players know it as well, especially Derry who has been with him for years ?

[W12_Ranger]

Next time NW gives a press conference, i will ask yo to let me know what he really means and legsofwood has been replaced by Derry, but I'm sure he will pay if Derry gets injured.

Actions speak louder than words.

I tend to focus on the decisions Warnock makes on the pitch not what he says in Press Conferences that's the bottom line.

Bet you were spitting feathers on Saturday when you see Taarabt handed the captains arm band.

Why ?

[G.T.P]

Most people said that as they thought NW had signed cloggers and now the same people are all falling over themselves saying how wrong they were, so the mid table stuff is not current IMO.

i didnt think it, said top two with a prolific striker or top six without.

I said top 6 and it would be down to they way NW gets his players working hard and I actually remember people critising me for liking grafters like Derry and now they are all starting threads like 'Hands Up', 'Come Clean' and 'I'm Spartacus' where they are saying how wrong they were to call him a clogger.

Yes I was one that started a thread saying hands up re: Derry.

Have you started a thread titled " I F*cked up big time by saying we shouldnt sign Adel"

Answer is NO.
Yes you have changed your opinion on him; impossible not to really, credit for that, but notice how it gets washed away in other peoples threads, where I was big enought to start my own.

Why ?

i Maybe wrong but it could have something to do with the vitriol that came "two balls" way via you on this very message board ...

Its shocking really how this one poster has made the biggest **** of himself this side of West London all summer yet still can't accept what a fool he has sounded all along. He's even now suggesting we should drop Taarabt for the Derby match???

He's latest fad is to justify everything he says with Warnocks comments which as anyone with half a brain knows Warnocks manipulation of the media is all part of his man management skills which he is second to none at in this division

What with Taarabts performances this season and being made captain on Saturday, the cat must have been booted across the living room a few times already in the Mason household on a Saturday Evening

Feel free to check all my posts (click on my name, then click on find all posts by paulmason), the essence of everything I ever said regarding Taarabt was based on the nick name he had with Spurs fans (I bet you thought I made the name up), as when he had the ball, they needed another ball for the other 21 on the pitch.

I did not want him here because IMO (which I am allowed) his selfish attitude could be detrimental to the team as he is not a team player and we would be better off without him and I was also the only one who said we would end up with him because no one else wants him.

It's all very well people claiming that Buzz and Rowly would be good enough to replace Taarabt and Faurlin (personally I think there a huge gulf between them), but Rowly spends more time on the treatment table than the training field and Buzz is starting to look a bit on the fragile side too.
Even if they were of the same standard (not) they are too frequently unavailable to be anything other than cover now.

[MYU]

And you were correct Paul, which other clubs went in for him?

[swanleyhoop]

I can't believe people are still sniping at Taarabt.
Irrespective what happened prior to this season, he's a Ranger, and, on the basis of the three league games so far, seems to have taken on board the idea of being a team player -- if he hadn't then he wouldn't have so many assists already.
Stop talking about the old Taarabt and start enjoying the new -- while you can.

[PedalR]

They will get injured/suspended at some point. However, I reckon that we'll have enough confidence/momentum to cope - NW is wiley enough to set the team up based upon the players available and eke out a result. Say there was no Tarbs or Faurlin against Barnsley... maybe we'd have just won 2-1 or something (but still 3pts).

Maybe Paul Mason was dressed as a women and was the person who through that cat in the bin

100% agree.
