Who would have thought 3 years ago so much angst would occur for possibly a 3rd top half finish in a row!

Reminds me a bit of those calling for Potter to be sacked in January, furious when he decided to leave in September. It’s like the media want the world to be distracted by rumours around RDZ and idiotically our fan base seems to want to do a lot of distabilising for them. Let’s start yet...

How I’ve felt. Don’t like losing but we went down fighting. Anfield crowd knew how big that was too. Great game of football.

Decent performance. Gave everything. Happy enough with that going into the run-in.

We all also knew we were going to be weak in both fullback positions, not the most expensive player on the pitch to backup, but we didn’t because we thought a 39 yr old could cover. As it has happened, not only do Estupinan, Veltman and Milner get injured for large parts of the season, as well...

This is simply the default condition of a middling PL side. You either hire a dull manager off the radar of big clubs, or you hire a manager that is going places and will be on their radar. There isn’t much middle ground. Who are the longest serving managers of the mid table, Marco Silva...

What it does show (as if a small coloured cross hadn’t already) is that football fans are the most sensitive angst-ridden souls you can imagine.

3 big jobs are available, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Barcelona. Not a lot he can do about being linked to those, and asked about them on every press conference. Not exactly needed to brief his agent.

Re: form for this season, even from 08 October till now, we have 26 points from 20 games - far from any kind of regelation form really. Our longest run without a win is 6 games, and we only lost 2 in that.

:lolol: thanks. :thumbsup:

Has this gone to extra time!? :lolol:

He’s incredibly frustrated, as you probably are, as I’ve been. However as a fan I’m content we’ve done incredibly well with the resources we’ve had. No one in the league is playing teenagers and young players with little first team experience like we are. But RDZ is a different beast, he...

Sadly, this is football. The disparity between what clubs can pay and outlay is just ridiculous. A player or manager within the same league can literally get 6 times their salary or more moving to a team that maybe in the same table position. Unless some kind of salary caps comes in, we’re...

No, you’re suggesting the ‘drop-off’ as you put it, is the manager dropping off, not the other aforementioned reasons.

We’re still very much in the fight for top 7. Newcastle are 1 pt above us. How on earth can missing your best players for long periods, selling your best players, not really replacing them - be just an excuse, when you’re still top half and challenging for Europe??

At the end of the day, yes it is players that win football matches. Undoubtedly absences have had a huge impact this season - doesn’t matter what your tactics are without the right players or players in form.

Look at GP’s record for his final 20 or so games.

20 odd more months and Alonso will have matched GP’s tenure with us.

We’d been amazing for the last 15 or so games of the previous season too. And you can’t really say ‘it was wins against 2 relegated teams’ when your own criticism of this season is we’ve been unable to beat teams likely to be relegated. Regardless of Potter’s personality and leaving, we were...

Could you try using your hedge trimmer for the edgings?
