Footballers are priveliged.

[gavtheblade]

This thread is aimed at pro footballers in a whole,but am aiming it at the blades players tonight.
As footballers you lead a rich and fruitful life with the wages you earn and the lifestyles you lead.As supporters we pay your wages and chant your names and wear your colours.
Spare a thought for us fans,90% of us are skint,the most unfortunate cannot work or are out of work and try so hard to make ends meet every month-You have no problems to pay your mortgages-no problems putting new cars on your driveways-no problems buying gadgets and filling your wardrobes.
So..........what the fxxk is with the long faces and all the glumness-enjoy your job-and put your hearts on your fucking sleeves and LOVE what you get paid for.

Thats what I thought when thinking about buying a season ticket and then I thought "Fuck it I aint paying them lot"

Never thought Id think that but I really wasnt going to break the bank for a season ticket like I was daft enough to do last season.

 

[gavtheblade]

Priorities make us make comprimises pal.
Thats the way of the law at the minute.

90 % of people on here can't stand Montgomery. This guy plays through anything physical and mental for Sheff Utd and because of his limitations gets slaughtered. He puts alot of players and 'supporters' to shame.

Aaahhh, poor old Monty.

Adams out. Joke, hoofball, totally out of his depth. Some of stuff you post about Donny is sheer comedy gold by the way Sitters.

 

[sitwell]

And all the stuff you post about Sheffield United is sheer shit by the way Micers.

Try following the context of the post ,it was never about 'poor old Monty' until the resident Blade slagger sought some attention.

 

[super_pig]

yeah but he isn't good enough at this level. the end. no argument.
this is football.. not a wall running competition.. he'd be a great commando or something .. great athlete.. great attitude.. he's probably a really great guy.. i have nothing against him personally.. but he can't play football for shit
i think some folks feel sorry for the guy because of all of the shit he gets from the likes of me pinchy and micalijo.. it is a nice sentiment but is misplaced

 

[sitwell]

The thread isn't about whether he is good enough for this level ,that is repeated day after day on here ,it was about commitment. No one can question Monty and Morgans commitment and many others ,there are a few that do lack commitment , apparently Ward being one and those players need moving on first.
Why can't we have a discussion without the same people just hijacking every thread to slag Utd off.
It bothers people that I hate Donny and everything about them but it seems fine for some to hate everything about Utd and never shut up about it.

And anyone taking notice at the Reading game could see that our midfield was breathing out of its arse with more than 20 minutes to go; Monty may not be the long term solution but he is definately NOT the problem and is clearly missed in our current mediocre bunch.

 

[super_pig]

that is the point sitwell.. commitment is great to have but ultimately won't win you anything.. talent does.. we simply lack players with talent for this level.. that isn't slagging united off.. that is a simple observation that the stats would seem to bear out atm??
cheer up mate.. we could go on some mad run of form , get ten wins or something.. it's happened before

 

[sitwell]

'commitment is great to have but ultimately won't win you anything.. talent does..'

Talent without commitment though is equally useless.

 

[Foxy]

I'll tell you what, as much as it's fashionable to slag Mr Montgomery even when he's injured and doesn't play, he'd have made a damn sight more impact on the game with knackered knee ligaments than a fit Mr Yeates did.

Seems it's fashionable to get paid to wander to the half way line to keep yourself out of play than actually break a sweat and play as a winger. Been watching Brian Howard has that lad.

 

[oldblade]

Never thought Id think that but I really wasnt going to break the bank for a season ticket like I was daft enough to do last season.

Failing to renew my season ticket this season was one of the best decisions I have ever made!

You are too kind Sitters.

 

[raul]

I have never understood why the bloke attaracts such oppobrium. No, hes not a great footballer. But equally, no, he's not a leg iron.

When History analyses out descent into wherever the f we end up, Monty should be towards the bottom of the blame page.

 

[alcoblade]

I'm a big fan of Monty. But I'd bet if we got a look at his payslip, we'd see an example of where it all started to go wrong.

[raul]

Have a look at Hendries first.

 

[alcoblade]

Very true. But Monty being an asset to us, and Monty being worth £600,000 every year are two different points.

>Talent without commitment though is equally useless
a lion with no teeth has plenty of heart but unless they sell soup on the Serengeti plain these days is going nowhere.. .. talent comes first imo, that is the unteachable component

As useless as Mr Yeates is, he's no worse than Little Nicky. Monty may have all the commitment and will in the world, but it can't disguise the fact that he's totally useless. Bereft af any basic football skills, and a complete lack of ability in reading the game, his 100% commitment is wasted as he simply isn't any good.

Shame really, his heart's in it, as it should be when you've been paid as handsomely as he has over the years, but there's no hiding the fact that he's no good at football.

 

[alcoblade]

Those who don't rate Monty completely derail their own argument before they start with stuff like "he's totally useless". There's a reason he's outlived and been respected by our last 5 managers. He's got real limitations. He's clearly not useless.

Nobody else wants him, forget all the bollocks about "he nearly signed for.............etc, etc" Nobody else wants him because "he's totally useless". He only gets a game at the Lane because he's costing us a fortune and we're crap.

So any footballer who stays at a club for a decent period of time is useless because nobody else has come in for him? Hmmmm....

 

[lenners]

If and when we're relegated, I'd be very surprised if Monty doesn't go to another club in the championship and probably one quite highly ranked.
Leeds have been after him and if they don't go up there's a good chance he'll end up there.

Your right Lenners, Monty will be playing in a Champoinship side next season who will be chasing the play-offs min.

The last 5 managers have been responsible for an ongoing decline. Perhaps the common theme of playing Monty might be a contributing factor as is the last 4 playing Cresswell.

 

[dingledog]

I think some posters forget its a team game, with 11 players. We are useless because some of you happen to have a massive downer on one player,well, in my humble opinion, we are going to be relegated because we have not played as a coherent team all season. If there is any blame I certailny wouldnt be laying it at Montys doorstep. You are looking in the wrong place, try the boardroom.

I should also add that I have seen no great improvement in the team since Monty has been injured, if I am correct we are just as bad, if not worse.

I can see a poor player. Cresswell has done nothing. The same cannot be said for Monty. Accepting that doesn't make me think he's Zidane.

Seriously? have you seen them both this season? By seen them, I mean actually watched what they do on the pitch
