Progress

[Mark79]

"Do not underestimate the power of the Dark Side."



Damn, I was doing so well too.

“If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much.”

[Neil Young]

I dunno, I just think people are being far too fair given where we are in the season, and still acting as if he's only been in the job two weeks.

In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.

It's nothing to do with that, you have to accept for 3 full seasons we've been poor to change that takes time and we have moved forwards the second half of the season in terms of points scored vs, our peers which is what we need to see, a strong finish can then be used as a springboard for the start of next season.

And then what?

But what if we finish lower than we did last season? Will the same people who crucified Kenny and such like be praising Rodgers?

Then fall and winter.

I know it seems like I'm raving in the dark but I'm trying to suggest your analogy about linear progress is only one way to think about it. Maybe we should also look at it in cyclical terms, seasonal terms (pun not intended), hmm?

Then fall and winter.

You're just repeating yourself now

[Neil Young]

Enough Mutley

Merely swapping Twain quotations. I like Pepe's style, his diagonal approach to the debate, less of the head-on argument and more of the darkly enigmatic epigram.

All things in Life repeat. And yet it is never the same. That is both its triumph and its tragedy.

We finished 8th I seem to remember *checks on 52 points, we have 49 already with 6 games to go amd we're 5 points clear of 8th but that's really not relevant it's how we've progressed through the season and the results have improved, we still have a silly result in us I.e. Southampton but that will take time to iron out as its a mental thing I mean take the number of stupid individual errors early in the season away and we could have another 6 or so points, and we are seeing them being taken away from the performances.

Rodgers needs a good transfer window in the summer much like the one we had in January & there is no reason to think that wont happen

Sorry - couldn't resist

[Neil Young]

And then what?

There will be growth in the spring.
