So now Monk's "look at me"/arrogant comments come under national scrutiny 23:15 - Oct 19 with 5120 views | _ | Pressure's on Monk big time but this has been coming the whole season long. The outburst was bad enough but now he's gone out there on record to say "if one of my players does that in training, he gets fined, if they do it on the pitch they don't play the next game" Not good enough Garry and FFS wind it mun. Use your head and apply some simple intelligence. | |

I can just about put up with his outburst albeit very unprofessional, it's justthese silly type of comments mentioned above he's prone to... That's got to stop. | |

Pulis for manager then, a proven operator and cunning as f@ck.. Innit | |

So now Monk's on 23:42 - Oct 19 with 2972 views | Spratty | Less is more for me, especially when you have put yourself under tremendous pressure to live up to your own press. Just comes over as uncontrolled pure raw anger, Create a snowstorm of blame rather than address the issues with the team. As said commits us to an action that may cause us problems and if we don't live up to it we will be a laughing stock. | | | |
So now Monk's "look at me"/arrogant comments come under national scrutiny on 23:46 - Oct 19 with 2954 views | perchrockjack | So ,should the board be considering dumping monk and bring in an experienced manager as monk ,it seems, as others have alluded to, is out of his depth. If we carry on for the next two months as we are, this question will arise in earnest. | |

Richie, I was angry after watching Today's game. Some of the words I used would get me a fine if I was employed as a manager. And as Mark Hughes said today...with experience you learn to not express your thoughts to the media. Yes, he should have kept schtum, but we all are human and anger cannot always be controled. Reading between the lines, his complaints have been going on for not just the Stoke game, but for poor refereeing decisions that have increased this season. 70 to 80% of the games we have have had poor referees! referees who's decisions can ultimately destroy clubs at the end of a season? Why refs are not constantly retraining I'm not sure. But manhandling an opposition player was always a foul. When was that taken out of the rule book in recent years? I must have missed that one! | | | |
So now Monk's "look at me"/arrogant comments come under national scrutiny on 23:57 - Oct 19 with 2935 views | _ | I've got to laugh about posters moaning we are "too honest" Chico Flores was a natural born competitor and winner. He was absolutely brilliant for us as far as I'm concerned and hey, sometimes he used all the toolage in his armoury.... I'm sure the same fans now calling for us to wise up hung him out to dry. Monk played in the same team as Gomez and as captain I don't remember him being too fussy when he'd win us no end of free kicks and bookings for the opposition. It goes on in the game - get over it. In fact, you can imagine what the West Ham fans are saying abut Monks words now, can't ya.... | |

Oh please.....come on. That's just simply not true. There's no such thing as a biased ref but definitely fans with chips on their shoulder. | |

I can't fault your logic, the moral high ground is a tricky place to occupy. I wonder how a Flores/ Fernandez pairing would have done for us in defence? By the way, what's PRJ on about? I've blocked him see................. | |

Think for now we just need to hope it gels - the team is strong enough. Need to give Gomis a chance and get us playing more consistently as a unit whilst best utilising the considerable talent we have available. Need to address the fall off in the second half. Next week is important - as much the nature of the game as the result - although not an easy game in itself. After that we have a few tougher games so our security blanket of points could evaporate quickly. Might suggest help to counter Monks inexperience but he was adamant he did not want that as he would see it as a personal failure. It is however the success of the team that matters at the moment. As ever a couple of wins and hopefully everything will be rosy in the garden again, but there are obviously issues we need to address. | | | |

Well in the space of an hour or so he's stating we're too honest and we need to wise up while crucifying Ferguson for, well, being too wise, I think. | |

Well spotted Dwight. I thought at first he wrong footed himself and lost his balance but the truth of the matter is that he looked to con the ref. I don't know why he didn't try to curl the ball round the keeper when he first broke into the box - surely it can't be a lack of confidence. The man's on fire at the moment. | |

He had a previous meeting to give his views and concerns to a ref 's representative. Good enough idea and constructive way forward. Sounds like he is mad because he is not happy with the response or lack thereof to the meeting. It is annoying if they did not get back to him as promised but personally think bringing this up on TV as part of a rant is not necessarily the most constructive way forward. I take your point about anger but Monk is not a trainee manager he is our proper manager and IMO needs to keep himself in control in order to press our case in the best way and maintain our professionalism. | | | |

Having watched it a few times he quite clearly took a heavy touch and went down hoping Begovic would make contact with him. He felt no contact and so didn't bother appealing, instead he looked embarrassed and got to his feet with his head looking straight into the ground like a naughty schoolboy. | |

I've watched it a few times, he tripped. I don't remember him ever diving for a pen with his current or previous contract with us. Perhaps like us all we are blaming everything and everyone for the loss today. Like Garry we are all angry. Fact is we don't ever beat Stoke, they are a shite team, with a fair scattering of bully boys, and we can't or won't play them at their game. | | | |

We were so superior to them in the first half before their fortuotous penalty it was almost embarrassing. Damn right I'm angry. But GM is blaming that penalty decision but we should have won despite that | |

Except of course when we beat them 3-1 Jan last year and 2-0 the season before Don't think we are getting angry just making our points I think quite rationally. Disappointed certainly Checked out the Siggy thing - does seem to be dragging his leg across [Post edited 20 Oct 2014 1:12]
