You know he desperately wants to beat Lampard and he's been done by 2 late goals now. His comments are horseshit though.
He can take second place in the queue behind Wagner’s lackey to sniff Lampard’s fingers after he lifts the league trophy.

What exactly does “playing for corners and long throw ins” look like Mark?! 🤣
Getting into attacking positions I would say, which we do constantly.

I may be wrong but I don't think Mark Robins shook Frank's hand at the end of the game....also saw Frank tell someone to fuck off as has he walked off the pitch (after clapping our fans).
Mark Robins was great for us but I never lose sight of the fact he applied for the Stoke City job while still our manager.

I think you've just made that up!

It is amusing to find Stoke moaning about another team being effective from set pieces, given the best spell they've had in the last 50 years was built around such tactics. I imagine MR is probably also kicking himself that he didn't make the most of MVE's throw ins when he was managing him.

I’m sorry but trying to make out were some long ball specialists with only the long throw up our sleeve is pretty sour from MR.

They barely lay a finger on us and we were solid and had some decent chances.

Today was classic Robins, slow to react and too
Passive from them.

We had 638 pages in the “25/26 Summer Transfer Window” thread, much of it complaining about the squad.
How many pages would there be if you took out every comment with "cuck", "bedwetter", etc in them?

Surprised Robins was so bitter. As if BTA(?) deliberately left a boot in; as if we play looking only for set pieces.
Unnecessary.

This forum wouldn't have much traffic at all if you took all that out.

Is winning throw ins and corners against the rules now? I love Mark, but it’s finding a way to win games away from usual style. Something we never really did on his watch…

I haven't made it up.

Well as far as I know its never been reported anywhere, but feel free to post a link if it has. As such, if he had applied for the Stoke job the only people that would have known would have been MR and the Stoke owner, and not some random poster on a football messageboard.
.just have come from. The leak in the city backroom staff that DK sacked

Obviously I can't post a link, but I do know it's true...no worries and zero point in debating it tbh.

Ultimately, I'm not surprised Mark is bitter. He's lost two us twice now.

Must have been horrid watching us celebrate with Frank like that.

It helps set Frank apart from Mark. He shows the passion and is one of us celebrating. It used to disappoint me when Mark would clap and walk off so quickly even after massive wins.
