thevelourfog Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Blimey, you'd think with so few goals scored this year I'd have remembered more of them.

Thank you Chara but there's only one award. The only 'award' I want is for everyone to rub along on here and to debate with vigour but civility. Would make my job so much easier.

Agreed, Jane deserves an award for the effort put in to get us all back together... without her, this probably would never have happened! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago97 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Such a poor season that majority of those results speak for themselves really. Apart from manager of the season …….De Zerbi getting 50% of the votes is a shocker to be honest ! He’s definitely done well for sure, but he is not manager of the season and not even in the top 3 . Very populist and reactionary voting there ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very populist and reactionary voting there ! What De Zerbi did on Brighton's budget was phenomenal. Not only the finishing place but style of football. Newcastle have probably over achieved but only slightly. Arteta was incredibly lucky inasmuch as that throughout 90% of the season they were able to put the same starting 11 out. Their season fell off the minute they got ONE crucial injury. He would have been screwed with our injury record over the past 2 years. I'll always have an asterisk next to Pep's achievements unless he wins the league with anyone other than the richest club in the league or with prime Messi. The fact that 50% voted for De Zerbi seems quite apt. A bit off to suggest that we've all been reactionary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that 50% voted for De Zerbi seems quite apt. A bit off to suggest that we've all been reactionary. De Zerbi has done very well and is a bright manager. However, he took over a very good team and has clearly taken them onto an improved level. Eddie Howe room on relegation fodder and has greatly improved a number of players . Joelinton, Almiron, Schar are three examples of players who were pretty much ridiculed. He has not then gone out and spend huge money really and qualified them for the CL. That is not slightly overachieving. I didn’t actually vote for Howe, but what he has done is a far bigger achievement than De Zerbi’s work to date. Gary O’Neill has never managed a football club and took over a team who had just received a 9-0 battering and looked certainties for relegation. Yet he has kept them up and with a degree of comfort. I would also say Steve Cooper has achieved much more than De Zerbi this season. Having a squad load of players thrown at him in the space of about 6 weeks and keeping them . The forum has not just edged it to De Zerbi, he’s gotten 50% of the votes ! I’m certainly not against De Zerbi, he is very likeable and has done a very good job. His achievements on not a par with the names I mentioned though, not really can they be with Pep if he is about to clinch a treble. That’s before we even get to Arteta , Emery who would also come above De Zerbi for this season and for what those jobs looked like at the start of the season, and what was inherited in Emery’s case.

Hmm..I could disagree with your modesty but the point is we ALL understand that without the hard graft YOU put in there would be no Forum as we enjoy it today!.....others contributed mightily but building a car with no one to supply or fit an engine produces a static pretty non functioning shell! My absolute congratulations, agreement and admiration for your #1 status and Jane's close run, in reality, #2...how two reprobates like me and Mark get to share the list I have no idea!...proof of the true quirkiness of the Forum at times!
