There will be satisfaction but it will be tempered with the knowledge that Saturday is far more important.
Out of the 4000 at White Hart Lane, there will be a mixture of the regular, the curious and the occasional out of the woodwork for big gamers. Its half-term, so it gives families more...
The fact is we have too many lightweight players who are constantly being muscled off the ball. Tex is like a little boy lost just waiting for the next clatter to come in before he eventually limps off with his tail between his legs. Colunga is too small and is always eased off the ball...
...or indeed when we had lost four games on the spin and had at least ten players out injured or suspended. Next up was Southampton...big, strong, powerful...who were gonna take us to the cleaners.
Now remind me....
( ps I still think we'll lose our next two games )
Depends which you fancy more.
1) A painless and expected 5-0 thumping at the hands of a good PL team at a top ground and a pretty good atmosphere.
2) A painful and far more damaging 3-0 thumping at the hands of a decent Championship club that we normally regard as smaller than us but who seem to...
Just a few of us left now who can remember the days when fans supported club and country in almost equal measure
and we all sat down to cheer on England. When players treasured an England cap and nothing would stand in the way of them representing their country. It was the highest honour and it...
90% of club total income goes on players wages...AND THATS FINANCIAL PRUDENCE!!!!!
The irresponsibility of football clubs will ultimately damage the game forever. They blindly ignore all accepted rules of business and shovel billions into the pockets of employees, irrespective of performance...
The big question is whether Sami is capable of improvement and change. Some people aren't. So many think they can make it as a manager but they are simply not suited to it. Football history is riddled with big name players who have failed in the managerial game.
Just because he was an...
Correct.
Its no good bleating about our strikers being ineffective, when they are regularly played out of position and get no service from our hopeless midfield. Bringing in fresh faces will make little or no difference. Start playing to the strengths of Baldock and CMS and you may start seeing...
I'll vouch for that, after he cut me up leaving an away ground. For a few seconds the car was full of expletives..." what the hell does that silly person think they are doing " etc....and then the sudden realisation that it was TB.
...and do you know....we let him off...." Oh, bloody hell, its...
We don't have a full back in the club who can defend properly. Bruno, Calderon, Bennett and Chicksen are hopeless. Absolutely the worst in the division...all of them. This puts enormous pressure on the CB's and keeper. Big mistake not to tie up a deal for Ward. Hughes has to come in at RB...
I said before this run of six games ( incl four at home ) between the international breaks that we were at the pivotal point of the season. We needed ten points from these six. So far, we have one point. IMHO, irrespective of Saturday, he now has four games left to turn it around.
Projected...
There is no other industry on earth that behaves like football.
It seems to make up its own business rules and carries on regardless of being profitable or not. In almost all other industries the primary consideration in running a successful business is keeping wage costs under control. At...
Gordon Greer, Gordon Greer riding through the glen,
Gordon Greer, Gordon Greer leads our other ten,
Controlling all the backs,
Breaking up attacks,
Gordon Greer, Gordon Greer, Gordon Greer
( Tune...' Robin Hood ' )
Part of the problem is that we have seen very little of Baldock, not much more of COG and Coluna has messed up the one good chance he had in front of the home fans. CMS ( up to his injury ) has been leading the line most games and to be fair hasn't got on the end of much.
A lot of the chances...
Next six games are pivotal...four at home...ten points needed...or season of struggle ahead. Desperately need a win tomorrow but head says a draw. Could leave us perilously close to bottom four....suggest 20th.
The incredible revenue from TV rights ( which are set to keep rising ) has created the market place for ever increasing wages. These enormous sums should have safeguarded the whole professional footballing pyramid for years to come.
Two thirds of all income at PL level now goes on players wages...
