Indeed. Give me pub before clubmosphere for my football!!!

[mastermixer]

I can picture the Puckheads asking them to put the hockey game on (i'm sure San Jose is playing Edmonton or something)... Fail.

[Fort York Redcoat]

^And they'll do it.

fyi -- aaron winter is going to be a legend

I really like John Molinaro's article today. Very insightful.

Best quote:

Finding a quick fix and doing things in a slap-hazard fashion is easy. Anybody can buy players and put together a squad without much planning or thought - just ask Mo Johnston.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

yep, as per usual a well written article

[Darlofletch]

Some thoughts on saturday's game, the croninja, and their season as a whole from the san jose side of things

At first I thought you meant Winter had said that himself. That would have been awesome, but still a good article by Molinaro nonetheless.

[Darlofletch]

very good article from molinaro.

to play devils advocate here, winter's "no player bigger than the club" stance, playing hard line with the star players and all that.

Isn't that one of the things people hated about preki last year? that is was his way or no way and he didn't seem able to make nice with the star players.
Now that sort of thing's all good?

The difference is Winter's no player is bigger than the club is about playing actual football and bringing in talented players like Martina, Stevanovic. Preki disposed of players like Cronin in favour of players like Joseph Nane.

Nope...Preki HATED strong personalities/leader types...which is why he dumped Robbo, Cronin, and froze out Dichio....Preki was a miserable little dictator...

[Technorgasm]

will winter improe on 2010 season though.

lol...i spoke too soon..thanks

[Sweeper]

Good to see Molinaro mentioned Mariner as I think he is an important piece of the puzzle. Willing to bet he's the one advising on the North American players. It's a bit premature but it looks good so far.

what is sad is the next road game, Seattle on April 30, they aren't having a viewing party...EITHER you do it for EVERY game or don't fucking bother...don't pick and choose

and yet winter's just disposed of arguably our most talented player.

It's interesting to see how people react to basically the exact same message when it's coming from people/a club they like as opposed to people/a club they don't like.

And, I'm not pretending i don't do the exact same thing, we all do, following sports is all about being irrational and illogical.

4 extra games this year I think we will. still won't be enough to make the playoffs, but we'll hit 40.

We all know that it wasn't that simple.

Really liked John's article. Good work mate.

QFFT

I think people have been trying too hard this last week, hell, the whole offseason to find the ultimate logical truth in this matter that will set things right and free all football minds to continue supporting with a clean slate. These things are messy and always have more than one side and gray areas.

I'm not sure how you can even attempt to draw a comparison between what Preki did and what Winter has been doing. Preki got rid of some fan favorites and skilled players for plumbers who would go out there and break legs every day. Preki had an obvious biased against Canadian players, his interview when he left said it all.

Winter did not get rid of Dero. In Dero's own words he asked for a trade after 2 years of trying to get what he was promised. Had nothing to do with Winter getting rid of Dero. Both Winter and Mariner have already said they wish they could have kept the player. So even with their hands tied, they did pretty darn good in what they received for Dero.

Lastly, for people like me, it was Preki's moves that made me dislike him. Winter has made nothing but positive moves in my opinion. So it's not that because I disliked Preki that I didn't approve of his moves. It's BECAUSE of his moves that I disliked him.
