Will, Why & Is

[GregStarz]

1) Will Ronaldo get booed everytime he touches the ball?

2) Why dont we get a chant like "Steve Tilsons, blue army (clap clap cla clap) circulating the ground non stop like pompy do?

3) Is Fergie the most succesful manager to ever grave Roots Hall?

1. Yes, we'll have nothing better to do during the half time warm-ups.
2. Tilly is going to Pompey?
3. No.

Who is the most successful manager to grave Roots Hall?

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

1) I hope so, don't let me down people
2) Because a good proportion of people there tonight wouldn't know how to sing a football song if their life depended on it
3) Nah, not when you think about our alumni: - Wignall, Whelan, Little, Newman & Bate

A not uncommon underwhelming response from the SZ membership

Surely we can do better:

1 Darn right, poncey portu-git

2 If you can get it started, then yeah. Only thing is I reckon 'Stevie Tilson's Barmy Army' is more likely

3 I'd say so, yes. Who's done better, cousin weir? Did Bob Paisley bring Liverpool down in '79? If so, he was the most successful...

I just hope that it isn't us who are dead and buried...

I have a question, if you added up the combined annual wages of all the players on the pitch would it equally the combined wages of everyone in the crowd???

The players' wages would comfortably exceed the crowd's, I should think

Depends whether there's lots of footy managers in the crowd scouting Freddy and Peter Clarke...

Never heard Pompey sing that.

Interesting question.

12,000 * £28,000 = £336,000,000 (number in crowd times average wage in UK)- I think 12,000 is a safe assumption for there to be average salary!

Man U wages - £83,000,000 a year in total - divided by the number of squad players, let's say 30, and times 11, gives us £30.4m a year for the 11 on the pitch

Southend wages - a lot less.

So, no the players wages won't exceed the crowds!

Because that is incredibly difficult to sing?!

What about "Stevie Tilson's Barmy Army"? It bounces far better ...

Just one thing to put in the pot there Napster - not all the 12,000 crowd will be earners; there will be plenty of kids, pensioners, housewives/husbands, students and unemployed people there...

I'd say about half will be earners? Maybe less?

What about Debt?

The average man/woman is in about £75k debt (mostly mortgage)

Have you calculated this??

Ok, from a purely statistical p.o.v

employment rate is 74.6% (source - National Office of Statistics), and of this, £28,000 is the average wage.

So, 336m * 0.746 = £250.66m.

Still far and above the players' wages!

Please don't boo/jeer Ronaldo.

I hate the slimeball as much as the next man but he always raises his game when jeered and we really don't need an on-song Ronaldo

Bob Paisley managed Liverpool FC when they visited Roots Hall in 1979; in his time at Liverpool (1974-1983) he had guided his team to six Football League Championship titles, three League Cup titles, five Charity Shield titles, three European Cup titles, one UEFA Cup title and one UEFA Super Cup title. That makes 19 major honours.

Sir Alex Ferguson has won eight FA Premiership titles, three Scottish League titles, five FA Cup titles, four Scottish Cup titles, two League Cup titles, one Scottish League Cup title,  five Charity Shield titles (with one shared - 1990), one Champions League title, two European Cup-Winners Cup titles and two UEFA Super Cup titles. That's 33½ major honours.

The winner: Sir Alex Ferguson - by a long way.

Ah but which one was a man of the people and which was a total self-important whisky swilling tool?

1) Probably, but I do wish people would get over it. Mich of the ire directed towards him is due to the Rooney incident in the World Cup. It wasn't Ronaldo's fault Rooney stepped on Carvalho's gonads.

2) I think XS has covered this one.

3) It would have to be Bob Paisley surely?

I think 3 European Cups tops anything that SAF has done. Anyway, it's not quantity, it's quality, and Bob Paisley was and SAF isn't.
