he does talk **** merson tho

Thommo was funny the other day on soccer saturday.

Merson said something like, "liverpool are strugglin and will do well to finish 4th"

To which thommo starting laughing and said "cheers for that, no you have said it will prob go on to win the league now cause you haven't got a clue"

all the other pundits started lauging at merson who just looked blank cause he didn't understand what thommo meant

[StevieG08]

Yes but compare them to the strike forcec of other teams, they are ****in miles ahead of us with the exception of Torres!! I'd rather have Rooney, Ronaldo and Giggs over Kuyt, Voronin & Kewell !!

Nail on ****ing head mate

Sad as it is their attacking players are head and shoulders above ours.

[Jack D Rips]

Im not into all this thing about pundits being anti Liverpool. But without doubt Merson is.

I cant stand the ****er

[Red Chilli]

Did anyone hear that PLEB Gavin Peacock on last Saturday’s MOTD?

The other week he talked about a striker having “the three As”. This time he said:

”He gets into what we call in the game POMO – ‘the position of most opportunity’ – and he sticks it in the back of the net…”

POMO!!!!! I think this tool has been on too many coaching courses. It’s embarrassing. POMO my arse.

Like anfieldanfield

Paul merson is junkie cnut

i hate him because i associate him with the start of lfc's fall from dominance in the english game:

highbury november 1990, lfc champions and clear at the top of the league after a record-breaking start to the season.

kenny dalglish "tinkers" with a winning formula against george grahams arse - the roughest dirtiest side ever to win the english league (made revie's leeds look like fairies)

first few minutes coke boy scrambles a shot on our goal from close range: now im level with the six yard line at that end - and on my life - that ball didnt cross the line but a goal is awarded. they score again with a pen from a limpar dive and a 3rd goal hich was scored by big nose alan smith on the nreak if my memory serves me.

that moment, when that merson non-goal was awarded, was the exact moment lfc slipped of its pedestal as the dominant force in english football.

when ever i see that junkie retard on sky, it makes me think of it

[ntto]

Haha. What a load of bollocks.

I know Woodward did exceptionally well but all this TCUP and POMO stuff is a complete load of poppycock, IMO.

How does a mantra like ‘TCUP’ actually help? Yeah yeah….thinking correctly under pressure. That’s obvious. Why state the obvious and turn into an acronym?

Its actually VERY useful.

I coach hockey and there's only so much skills, positional coaching you can do. But preparing a team mantally for situations so that it becomes natural for them to perform well under pressure is a whole different ball game.

I was on a coaching course (mental toughness) where the guy taking it was a cage fighting coach. He said he introduced some reverse psychology into his regeme that people REALLY didnt like. He got the fighter pinned to the floor with the coach (or another fighter) sitting on their chest with their knees holding the fighter to the mat. The guy on the chest would then starting punching the living **** out of the guy pinned to the mat. The guy on the mat had to get hinself out of the situation. He reckoned it was the only way to force somebody to learn to get out of a situation that they would inevitably face at some point in a fight.

Although the fighters hated it and didnt want to do it, after they fought they all said it was invaluable coaching.

I do it now with my goalkeepers. Get them to lie down and get the rest of the team to hit them as hard as they can from 20yards away - it builds their confidence!!

What I remember about that game is that Kenny picked a team with 4 full backs in it (Burrows, Staunton, Ablett and Venison) at a time when we were flying at the top of the league. That for me was just as symbolic of our decline as the end result. Imagine how this place would be if Rafa ever did that...

As for Merson, I always feel when he talks that I'm stuck in the back of his cab. In terms of incisive analysis he's clearly about as clued up as Elmer Fudd on crack. But he has a certain 'village idiot' appeal that I quite like.

Certainly preferable to someone like Tony Gale who displays all the charm and charisma of a spewing nonce.

There are proffessional people you can see to sort that out. You really should

Nah mate, if you listen to gooners our decline began in 1989 when they snatched the title from us, :whatever: forget the fact we won the league the following yr :whatever:

Well that sort of stuff you’ve just described is very different from some headmasterly type prancing around at the head of a class preaching about things like TCUP and POMO!!!

Clearly some people are receptive to that sort of stuff. I’m not.

Totally agree. I don't like Merson but I abhor Tony Gale.

On a side note, is Havant & Waterlooville's manager (Shaun Gale) his brother?

there was an article about Merson today in the London Lite. Apparently he's fallen on hard times. He's still addicted to gambling and women apparently, has racked up debts in excess of £150,000, his house is about to be repossessed and is moving back in with his parents.

Remember it well, although i think playing with 5 full backs in the starting line-up didnt help!
