The definition of 's*** happens'

[Guest Ant]

's*** happens' it's a phrase that has got on my t*** since it has been used when we lost away to Reading? What defines s*** happens?

 

When everything goes against you?

 

When strikers don't score?

 

Truth is I think it differs from person to person, but the phrase s*** happens has been used in games where such an excuse is flawed at best.

 

Think about the game v Reading a minute he played a 4-4-2 with Kuyt and Torres upfront and Crouch LM with an out of form Momo Sissoko CM, we lose that game 3-1, yes the ref was poor but lets think about it, the team he chose featured players playing in wrong positions in a system which does not and has not ever suited the players chosen.

 

People said to me that 's*** happens' and to get over it, along with the Birmingham and Spurs games at home.

 

Now my opinion of s*** happens is when you play your best squad, play brilliant football yet just cannot do anything, these games where Arsenal(H) and City (A). 2 of arguabally our best performances this season, you cannot really have anything said against anyone, it was 's*** happens'.and it is sad that games v the likes of Spurs, Brum, Wigan and Reading have cost us because the games of which we played v Arsenal, City and Chelsea for that matter where all excellent performances and good results in isolation.

 

But we cannot be chosey, we are playing catch up and it's all thanks to results of the beginning of the season that this is indeed the case.

You could really have said, "Torres was f***ing s*** against City", but you won't because it doesn't fit in with your 'plug-&-play your best players and you will win, simple as that, Rafa' style of posting (which you never change, like the Top 3).

[Guest Si]

eh?

 

its just a figure of speech aint it?

It depends really of course if you play in-form sides it's going to be hard.

 

But v the likes of Birmingham, Spurs and Wigan at home your best team should roll them over.

's*** happens' to rochdale, oldham and bradford. liverpool fans have a f***ing easy life frankly.

Put out the best team and you'll STILL drop points, maybe not as many, but your assumption that all the lost points will thereby be recovered is off the mark.

 

Everyone harks back to the season when Shankly used only 14 players and used to tell the reporters who asked what the team was 'same as last year'. Check out our record in that season:

Plenty of results to compare with last night in there. 2 points for a win, admittedly, but it goes to show that playing your strongest team doesn't guarantee the 3 (or 2) points.

[Guest Ant]

It's not as much as having points recovered, it's pretty much just showing that if you play your best team you cannot be accused of having priorities or chopping and changing your team randomly.

 

If we where to play our best squad week in week otu when we could the weaknesses would be easier to identify, but when the likes of Voronin play alot for a fourth choice striker, the line between 1st choice and 2nd choice is very blurry.

But why should anybody worry about being accused of that?

The manager's in a perfectly good position to identify weaknesses. He doesn't need to pick the same team every week to help fans do the same.

I don't want to be the one to acuse.

Really, then why didn't Momo Sissoko go to Juventus for £10 Million?

[John am Rhein]

I don't want to be the one to acuse.

 

I'm sure he'll be relieved to hear that

[John am Rhein]

eh?

 

is this still the same thread?

[Cobs]

Man up, ffs!

 

 

another phrase i feel is quite apt at the moment.

[Guest Ant]

eh?

 

is this still the same thread?

Yep, if Rafa is able to spot weaknesses and in turn improve his squad via funding, then why didn't he sell sissoko?

[John am Rhein]

Could be

 

a) he doesn't see him as a weakness

b) Juventus don't want to buy him

c) he WILL sell him soon

d) other

 

Certainly nothing to indicate a lack of ability on the part of the manager to spot weaknesses which would supposedly be fixed by playing the same 11 in every match.

[Guest GrandpaSimpson]

Reading one of your threads always makes me feel drunk. What the f*** are you trying to say anyway?

Got it in 1.

 

Frankly, I'm more concerned about a bunch of grown men who's emotional fulfilment is tied to circumstances beyond their control than I am about Rafa's current buggering about and s*** resuts.

 

If people are getting this upset about a football match, they need a good hard look at their own lives IMHO
