I don't think anyone could have watched his performance away at Brentford and not have been utterly dismayed. The complete opposite of Newcastle away. Loose..ill disciplined...selfish...disinterested. Two games...two different players.
Apart from doing the double over us for the first time in 92 years. Apart from winning the biggest domestic cup competition in the world. Apart from getting into Europe for the first time ever. Apart from another trip to Wembley for the Charity Shield. Apart from an open top bus celebration on...
It was as Arne said..like a basketball game. Like two fighters not taking a backward step. It was a proper free flowing game. It was total value for money. It confirms that we are still in a good place.
FH keeps demonstrating bounce back ability. We could reach 61 pts and not make Europe. Who...
At least we won't be hearing our brain dead fans goading Palace about never playing in Europe again. Geez...when will they ever learn. Did they honestly think that one brief flirtation in Europe gave us bragging rights.
City have been completely out of sorts for some time. Flakey and very beatable. It was obvious that a determined well organised team that stuck to its gameplan would be enough to see off this lacklustre version of City.
That's why Palace were too good to ignore at 10/3. Didn't want them to win...
Utter garbage.
The man didn't want to adhere to and respect our blueprint. A blueprint that has got us to where we are. He lost focus and allowed the season to collapse.
You back him over TB if you want. I know where my loyalties lie.
We need them. We need to put them to work mending potholes. Thousands out there shovelling tarmac right left and centre....and then we wouldn't be getting a broken spring and fckd shock absorber like I suffered this week.
Get them out there now. They are mostly fit young men. Minimum national...
I have a horrible feeling it's gonna happen. They will want it more and will turn up. City are very flakey at the moment and know their remaining two league games are more important.
I am planning a decent bet on Palace and hoping that I lose.
Could be a quadruple whammy for us. First league double over us for 90 plus years. Beating us to a major trophy. Denying us ( or Brentford ) a place in Europe.
Sadly .. I fancy them to win. I don't want them to...but I just think they will be hungrier on the day.
Top ten target is fine providing everybody realises that the PL is a moveable feast. Ever changing, ever evolving. If we finish 10th this season ( likely ) our average over the last four seasons will be 9th. That works for all of us. Overachieve and you can reach Europe. Slightly underachieve...
It shouldn't be forgotten that we got off to flyer in 22/23 under Potter. Ten points on the board before RDZ took over. He then took a few games to get his message across and then we were off and running. He did have a decent run with injuries and as you say, a superb midfield.
I feel we have...
I wouldn't trust Leicester to get anything right. The clubs that ditch experience and recruit inexperienced, glamorous " big names " invariably go backwards very quickly.
