Not taking it as a dig, I completely understand.
There is a whole lot of room for improvent. Will be interesting to see if Poch is up for it.

Just seen the penalty decision back for the first time - fucking ridiculous, not even a player near him.
It is not the manager or the players but the memory of previous seasons. This mentality of getting one/two bad results which the wba and chelsea games were and then completely going to shit, is set in the minds Two games one point needed. So poch needed to say it was important to finish above Woolwich. Not play it down. But players should surely not need reminding of the rivalry should they?
Course he is up for it, how come everyone the other week was shitting themselves when he had lunch because of his desire for success and moving on up, now people are questioning whether he is up for it?
This guy will kick to the curb anyone not towing the line and performing, he wants success don't worry he won't forget being let down
Nobody is questioning his desire.
His current task at hand is a cynical squad evaluation, cull and then draft of both new and senior players.
Not as easy as we make up of it. Apart from basically kicking out some younger fan favourites he probably needs to upgrade at least a few first XI players, above all with leaders. That can be a major challenge in a squad, he has done so well nailing into a tight knit group himself.
It's going to be a challenge absolutely, it's great we can offer champions league football now and he now is in a position where finally after 20-30 years we have a 1-11 that are reliable and will get better with age, as this season was ground zero for this team, only 10 months ago Paulinho and Chiriches were around!
We can look to get players in equal or better to keep them on their toes, looking forward to a good summer, fingers crossed
You are right about the past but why do we repeat it. Can never get over the line. Not talking about the league as we were playing catch up but I mean leads we have in terms of league positions. Yes we are 3rd. Group stages of CL. An improvement on last year and a young first team. But the monkey is still on our backs as is this feeling that we can never hold onto anything no matter what kind of gap we have. Whilst it's mathematically possible, it seems to happen. Next season if we do find ourselves in a position Leicester were in (7-8 points clear) one defeat or draw will have everyone thinking oh here we go. And that feeling will take over rather then us getting back to basics and playing our normal game.
I hope his squad evaluation happens whilst he is still fucking angry about yesterday - it might be the only positive to come from that game.
I don't think we choked but too many just didn't care as they were satisfied with automatic qualification for the CL and Poch's remarks about not caring about Woolwich didn't help!
We care
We care alot
Its like Groundhog Day all over again.

These are your comments
- To be humiliated shows we still possess the ability to let an actual mathematical lead go.
- Only Tottenham could do that.
- Every time I say 3 points from 12 needed I am furious.
- A disgrace.
- As was the desire from the players in the last two games.
- Look at Newcastle, they'd already gone down.
- Still the same soft bottling Tottenham deep down.
So my comment wan't childish, just challenging.
Here's my challenge, get some passion and love for the club and treat it like its your child. That way you forgive it for its faults, love it unconditionally and support it with your dying breath - not see it as an exercise in picking a hip team that will allow you to show everyone how clever you are for selecting them.
I have seen this team relegated and I have seen it try its hardest to get relegated again, I have seen it descend into farce and reduce me to tears. Nothing surprises me about my team any more, but I still remain a committed fan with an unconditional acceptance of all that happens to it.
Most of all - I am really proud of the way it conducted its business this season, the way we played, the performances of our best players and the fact that we finally had a team. None of the top 10 "put us down" and we only lost a handful of games to any of them by the odd goal.
One freak result that ultimately has left us pissed off simply because the goons jumped us by a point - and people want to swear blind that every player is a cunt and the manager is a wanker.
Sorry my friend, I don't play that way. I'm in this for the long haul. Good or bad, Champions League or conference, its my team and I will back it and support it to the bitter end.
You say I believe that the last game was acceptable? Seriously?
I think that a "Fuck you" is in order.
This isn't the same team as any that have collapsed in the past, so I stand by the comment I made about that as well.
