The more likely scenario is not being told being told you're not the guaranteed no.1, rather than stating you're the no.2 - can't think you would say that without a replacement?
Yes, I agree Hughton does deserve our confidence that he knows what he is doing if it wasn't simply a case of giving Stockdale a better offer. I am worried though because someone else has to bed into the squad. I really would have been quite happy to have been starting the season with Stockdale...
I honestly disagree with you massively here. Clough, Ferguson, Shankley, the great managers always started with a top keeper. A save is worth every much as a goal. The confidence they give the team in going forward is massive. He might need to be replaced, and we may find as good or better, but...
Well, lets hope if that happens a series of clean sheets and penalty saves doesn't keep a side in the Premier League at our expense.
A lot of the talk on here regarding he can be replaced etc. I distinctly remember in the summer of 2011 with a certain striker similar things being said - who...
He's a Leeds fan! We complain modern players don't connect with fans, but he is just a fan of his hometown football club. Don't think I can be critical of him for that.
Oh come off it. None of the defence were interviewed if you exclude Bruno as being interviewed as captain. Don't people get their knickers in a twist. #doublehandedwavegate followed by #nointerviewgate. I did note that Stockdale left the stage waving only with 1 hand, I therefore conclude he is...
I think he'll stay. He doesn't know it yet, hence it was a bit of a wave goodbye perhaps, but in the cold light of day, he'll weigh up 38 Premier League starts against more money but on someone's bench. In terms of remembering him, I've forgotten the equaliser from yesterday already. The double...
Oh you've got your knickers in a right little twist. I haven't said whether I believe he is going or not, so why would I bet, I didn't start the thread...
Disappointing day, lots of mad threads about, some people being light hearted, some people not, clearly.
I actually saw Stockdale mouth to the crowd:
"There's one more chip, and it must be destroyed also"
If Iggle Piggle is right, then I am like John Connor in this clip....
