Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
Yes, it’s almost, not quite, like say We should be beating teams like …..Do we deserve that? We’re getting very entitled. New very young manager, new squad essentially, Pedro, O’Riley and yesterday Dunk out.
There’s moments like this every season for every club. Tottenham had one against US. Villa had one yesterday along with other clubs. Manchester United had one tonight. It was a bad loss of points, but we’ve won just last week with a smash and grab against Newcastle.
I said at the start of the season I hoped for top 10 and a cup run, absolutely nothing has changed.
The top clubs have better players, more money, more supporters and for us to even be in the conversation shows we are overachieving.
I’d suggest if you expect to be in the top four you’re probably watching the wrong club.
We’ve never ever won anything of note. Ever. Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle, Everton, Nottingham Forest and the rest - all have cup and league wins, dozens of ‘em.
Reading this place today god knows what it’s going to be like when we slip down to mid table after facing Liverpool then Manchester City and losing in the cup.
Dear me.
How we hated that when we first got promoted.
