Hi,
Saiss is the main reason i'm here:icon_biggrin:
Hello, good people. I've been following the ranting and rambling going on here for quite a while, and perhaps more frequently than I'd like to admit, so thought I might as well register in case i should feel the sudden urge to contribute some post-factual nonsense of my own. Apparently I had registered what must be quite a while (years) ago, never posted and then forgot about it.
Anyway, I'm joining as part of the Scandinavian foreign legion, Norwegian to be precise. I've been following the ups and downs in the club's fortunes roughly since the start of Dave Jones' days as manager, when the matches were still being broadcast on the equivalent of BBC over here and me and some mates were more than a little obsessed by football manager games. Some of my fondest memories are from the glory days under Mick, especially the promotion season, when players like Foley and Kightly were big favourites of mine. I also have a weakness for cult heroes like Craddock in the days when he was no longer shite and his head was bandaged, and big George for that single game when he was simply unplayable and absolutely destroyed Ronaldo and for his general physique.
As for the situation right now I am still, barely, in the pro-Lambert camp. I did want him out after Birmingham, one of the worst performances I have ever seen, but give him the benefit of doubt after slightly improved selections, tactics and effort of late. Still think we will narrowly avoid relegation and a full summer and preseason might then be used to bring about much needed change. As for the squad, a few of the youngsters look promising but most of the others can and should be replaced asap.
Hi RSW, good to have you aboard, and yes, please post frequently.
Where abouts in Norway are you?
I've been to Oslo a few times and my son lives and works in Bodo.
Welcome RSW (username far to long to be bothered typing it out in full)
More Scandinavians are most welcome
Welcome.
Just need to check we are accepting foreigners post Brexit... :icon_wink:
Thanks. No idea how I came up with that username, RSW is as good as anything.
We have some serious anglophile tendencies over here, perhaps the Norwegians in particular. Not quite sure how that came to be, but I guess we identify with you folks in things like sense of humour and so on. Which brings to mind the words of a German baron: "How lucky you English are to find ze toilet so amusing. For us it is a mundane and functional item. For you it is ze basis of an entire culture."
