According to Steve Carley in WN there is an 'air of invincibility' at St George's Lane at the moment!! (I'm sure King C wouldn't agree with this!)
Clearly for Carley one swallow does make a summer. We shall see how the 'Invincibles' get on at Telford tomorrow!

I was just thinking of posting something similar, GTB, having read the article.
I don't know what Steve Carley's been sniffing - but it must have been a bit more than 'air of invincibility'. It'll be a tough game tomorrow, a draw would be just fine, thanks.
Now, where's me gas mask...

This is the man who gave Rapinder Gill 9/10 rating in a game where he made several mistakes and we got hammered !!!

All I meant with the article was that Worcester have every reason to feel confident in themselves after last week.
What's wrong with a bit of positivity and talking the team up? I am often accused of being too negative and talking them down, so I can't win.
I don't doubt for one minute how difficult tomorrow's game is and I too would rate a draw as a very good result.

Actually Steve didnt say an air of invinciblity at SGL, he said there was an air of invinicibility within the team . THey have belief in their ability, and play with a belief. It doesnt always guarantee results, but if they are confident in what they and their team mates are doing, it can't be a bad thing, and is down to good positive management!

I am often accused of being too negative and talking them down, so I can't win. I don't doubt for one minute how difficult tomorrow's game is and I too would rate a draw as a very good result. So the intention was to show support for the team. Very laudable and no quibble at all with that. But 'Air of Invincibility'? I'd prefer the 'underdog' narrative that the King himself used against Boston - plucky little Worcester City taking on the world etc. It's easy to imagine Andy Sinton waiving the headline in front of his players for a little additional motivation. And from 'underdog' to 'invincible' in a week? Doesn't quite sit right for me. By all means help encourage the team to believe in themselves - they certainly should. But 'invincible' they cannot be and must be doomed to fail. And before anyone feels the need to balance these comments, I have never accused you of being negative - only once before criticisng the WN (possibly the WEN then) when a poll was run regarding the tactics employed by Andy Preece. I didn't think that was helpful to the manager then, either. On the whole I enjoy your coverage. |

There is an air of invincibility about the City . We're not a plucky little underdog, we werent against Boston. Jeez if we go into games against teams in our own League as "underdogs" then we're in trouble!! I don't think Carl played the underdog card, he just bigged up the "special magic" of the FA Cup.

A headline in today's Independent on Sunday: 'City can be new invincibles' says Toure.
Who says the big names don't read your articles, Steve?!!

Quote in the WN from Carl Heeley prior to the Boston game...
“Boston will be strong favourites and there are not many people giving us a chance which suits us fine."

Exactly, thats what other people think, you can bet your life thats not what Carl thought, and he certainly didnt tell the team that!

Which is why I prefer the same narrative!
Instead of agreeing with me whilst doing your contrary best to disagree shouldn't you be researching your history?

I'm not agreeing with you at all! you really think Carl told his players trhat they were the underdogs against Boston?? You think he let his team know they werent as good as another team in the same league that both teams are trying to win??
I wouldnt want you as a manager in any field of life, how unmotivating!

In fact, I would love to find a reason for you to REALLY be offended by the Union Flag, just for you ;D ;D |

VoR, it's not fair to keep him twirling forever over this one - do you mind if I get him started? Try a Google search under 'Absolutely bleedin' obvious'.

Thing is I did (& do intend) to tell him in person, but waiting for that offer to be accepted....
If he ventures to certain places beyond Worcester, I can produce a large no.of material witnesses, similarly.

Why would I waste my time meeting up with someone I dont even know, to tell me a story about a few ignorant paddy's? Its like a few ignorant Taff's thinking Wales is still independent, as if they were around in the days of Owain Glyndwr. Or a few Canadians or Australians feeling somewhat put out by the acts of colonialism. None of that makes the Union Flag in any way offensive.

I met Tom Jones once, I don't know him! I met Diana Princess of Wales once, I never knew her. I met David Hallmark three times! I don't know him!
I don't know you , I met you once at County Hall, but I wouldnt waste energy crossing the street to talk to you, not because I don't like you, but because, I don't know you!
What I do know is that you personally find the flag of the United Kingdom, the united countries of which I am proud, to be offensive. But clearly not offensive enough not to personally benefit from what this Union has to offer. Why not simply vacate this offensive nation?

Yes, logic prevails yet again.
There are lots of things I don't like, as with many other people who reside within Britain.
But guess the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, for now!

So, not that offensive hey? Offensive enough for effect, but not offensive enough for action on your part! In which case why on earth should WCFC take down our flag? I am guessing that you are an Irish citizen, although it is just a guess. In which case, the Union Flag isnt your flag, so you have no right to suggest that it should not be flown in this country, a country of which you are an alien. If you arent an Irish citizen, then disregard the above.

Citizenship is irrelevant to finding that flag offensive.
I've met plenty of English, Irish, Scottish & Welsh people, some of whom would also describe themselves British, who're offended by that flag. So they use their own national emblems.
As I say, it's well documented online, you're just in denial about it.....

Whats it got to do with the Irish? They're not British?? THey are less British than the Channel Islanders! THey're not part of the United Kingdom, nor even Great Britain. A bunch of foreigners finding the United Kingdom flag offensive is like the Britsh finding the French flag offensive, for no other reason other than its foreign!! Its a non-argument from little Johhny Foreigner!
Argument lost - get over it

The air of invincibility remains! Good management I say, long may it continue. We have a side that believes in its abilities, and in each others abilities. No need for twatty proverb looked up on Google (a pretty piss poor search engine really anyway, try something decent like Exalead), just good honewst mana management - all credit to Carl Heeley and Mark Clyde! Whatever happens Carl, don't be tempted by the Hereford job!
