The Poolie Bunker

Hartlepool United v Braintree

I predict a lot of stay aways....

2,487

Thanks Raj.

3400

3675 in attendance

including 37 from Braintree

Depends how many really have a clue what’s going on.
If you’re a happy clappy type, business as usual ….if not….?

Does anyone have a clue what's going on?

3809.

Then a major drop off from October when the false hope diminishes rapidly.

Only 7 pts behind the last play off spot.

LARRY sweating I need a cup run to get 2 years wages instead of 5 months n 3 weeks.


Yas all know I've called it correct.
This is normal service under this joker innit.

lose the previous games 2700. win em 3500. mixed results 3100.

Frankly….NO!!…but we’ve all been pacified for the close season in expectation….?

Only 1 (ONE) person that knows exactly what is going on and they shall remain nameless hth

Possibly the strangest close season any of us can remember?
And it feels like an eternity since the last season ended.

The word that fit’s is ‘ Bizarre’ …..several months in….The Land of Nod.

feels the opposite for me possibly because i,m not as excited as normal for the new season to start ticking off the weeks.

Take a look at the season ticket seat sales and hardly anyone has bought one. Be lucky if we have sold much over 1k this season.

in a normal pre season clubs who can only sell 1k season tickets rarely get more than 2,500 gates. problem is this has not been a normal pre season by a long shot.

Then from November the £22 (Championship ) pay on the days comes into play coinciding with Rachel's tax the shit out of us Autumn Budget.

4 weeks to totally upgrade the squad.

See what November brings.

Heart says 12/13th n still in the FA Cup.

Head says 21st n anutha non entry of the FA Cup.

Results always answer opinions.

Only Radgy and his crank boardroom.

Everyone else is getting the shut the fuck up scenario and don't ask or critisice.

Be over 3k, but likely close to 1k down on last year, lose to Yeovil 1st up and the pressure will be seriously on already as we play a relegation favorite

Some on here (who dont even go to games) just want Pools to fail!!! Absoloute pathetic...

Fools is back I see…any more shite you want to spout? Maybe put it on a separate thread so it’s easier to ignore ?

Some on here are thick as fuck and can't see what's happening in front of their own eyes.

47 posts from Jules….maybe he’ll write one that isn’t full
Of shite by the time he hits the big 50!

I totally agree but on the other hand others want Raj to leave.

Jules Singh.

Gotcha.

Seems like only one poster wants that shit.

And its you.
Ya not the Superfan ya think ya are.
We ain't fcuken stupid kid!!

But aint you a "loyalfan" ???

If we wanted Pools to fail why would we be on here….there’d be no point being on here?
Is that excuse No 237 from the ..’ Book of Lame Excuses’..from those happy to promote any old gruff/ excuses to those who care enough to fight for their club.
Pet poodle.

I stand by what I said......... I support Pools, not Raj Singh!!!

Unfortunately raj singh is killing the club preventing it from taking off. It's no coincidence we are now shopping in the leagues below this. Yet he is still fooling quite a lot with it. We need him gone ASAP to have any hope.

Have I been asleep? When did Tranmere, Walsall, Barnet, and Lincoln get relegated to below NL level?

Pity you ain’t convincing anyone..

Eh...... Are you saying the players we have signed are shit??? I think we have/are recruiting very well!!!

Just for the record....this is my opinion, so no need for any abuse...

I also respect your opinions.

Just being realistic son!

I think there are a lot of question marks on them, some may be good others less though but I haven’t seen a single signing yet who I have thought will clearly be a success….though last year I was confident with Campbell and charman which shows how much I know

As someone said there is a bit of the Hartleys about this pre seaskn, we’ve lost a bunch of known quantities, mani D, Grey, Clearly Mancini Madine on the attacking side and Dodds/ferguson at the back

We weren’t great last year and if people are confident we’ve signed better players than them so far well …. I admire their optimism

Some hard keyboard warrior you lad hey!!! Give your head a shake with the insults!!

Of course you think its going well. I bet you (like many others) thought Hartley was recruiting very well.

So are you saying recruitment isnt going well??? If so, how do you know, or do you just not want to give them a chance????

Still recovering from that Hartley embarrassment then? You probably thought Sarll was a good decision too.

All the signings have been given a chance, the handful of good ones and the boat load of mediocre ones. They don't scream out to me as very ambitions signings. Let's hope we're lucky instead. We'll need it.

You really love your presumtions dont you kid!!!

How old are you actually???

How have all the signings been given a chance??? They have had 2 games ffs!!!

Completely agree with you Jules, I read the posts every day and same characters come on slagging the club.
No one wants Raj in the club, but give the new manager and players a chance.
Only time you don't hear from these jokers is the odd time we win a couple of games.
If you disagree with them you're a happy clapper.
Complete bunch of knobheads.

Jules and Josie a match made in heaven

Says the keyboard hard man...

Tell how they're not being given a chance? The chances of them coming good are no greater than they were for signings in previous summers. They are the same typical NL type signings made under the same godawful club regime. You wouldnt get very good odds on this meaning another season to add to the run of poor ones we've had in recent years. Nowhere have I said that's a certainty by the way, it's possible they might come good (there's the chance given). But why would I be daft enough to be optimistic about the coming season with no evidence to back that up and plenty of precedent to the contrary?

The irony. That's exactly what you're being.

I see a Bunker Wedding on its way

Honeymoon away game weekend at Truro

Really son

Really... pops

I'm not convinced by what we are signing that's not to say they can't be world beaters, but going by the people making these decisions who are still here gives me no confidence whatsoever. Even signs in pre season so far and I know its early doors if you can take much from it points to us really struggling. It wouldn't be a shock if we struggled at Redcar too. I'd say we're about 8 players of being even competitive, I just can't see us bringing that quality in.

I hope I'm totally wrong but I reckon it will probably take half an hour at Yeovil before we think crikey we look a bit short. Still time to bring in quality but we won't, evidence over last few years says we won't bring enough in. I don't see where any goals are going to come from we look ridiculously weak so far

On the bright side there are some really poor sides in this league and if we are struggling around Xmas and we shit ourselves enough to make some signings that may well be enough to get us clear of relegation , but the fact it looks to me like a bottom half finish in this godforsaken league is really depressing

Grayson is making these decisions!!! He as been here 2 minutes!!Are you seriously saying Grayson would come here and let Joe Monks or Raj pick his players???
