Can say I agree, there is a very real difference between voicing opinions and simply hurling Ill considered abuse. Also a football clubs (unlike a puppy or a wife is not for Christmas). I don't support Levy and ENIC I support the football club. I simply could not turn my back on that. I could certainly boycott under their leadership but I'd still care and support the team.

IMO we will finish below Woolwich slide out of European qualification totally and keep West Ham up by rolling over against them

Don't have much hope for next season either.

With Woolwich having 3 strikers I make them favourites to finish above us. We both our dodgy at the back but they have a better goal threat.
 
We're still in the hunt for a CL place next season. We're only 1-0 down to Leipzig.

The way we're playing currently, there is little hope, but hope springs eternal, so I reckon we'll be smiling at the end of the season.
 
I think Mourinho may as well blood a few youngsters now, especially Gedson and Skipp. Try and get something out of Ndombele too. At least give us some hope for next season.
 
Preface with happy to go until next Christmas before final conclusions.

Where I am now....

We can play decent football for 10-20 minutes where we force the game and look good. This is without a striker to speak of, if it's possible for this period why not longer? That's on the manager imo.

If I could see a plan the players are not able /willing to follow then I would blame the players 100%. I don't.

Poch was done, got to the end of a cycle and didn't fancy starting a new one with our restrictions (can understand this) but we could have a pick of 80% of managers out there - that's where we are imo.

I could understand the reasons to bring in Mourinho but it appears in hindsight we have the worst of him, we played poor with Harry even if we got results.

I think those 20 minutes a game show the players are not as poor or over as we think and a manager with a decent plan would get more.

In short it was right to get Poch, probably worth a gamble on Mourinho but it hasn't paid off as yet.. The fact we can play well shows the players are not as poor as they look right now.

I hope we make CL, I hope we buy good young players in the summer and it comes good.... I fear we don't make CL, we buy old players and we are left with it when we don't come good.

To be fair, a lot of people pointed out that with twice the finances Mourinho couldn't get results at United that fulfilled our expectations at Spurs recently.

I'm hoping he can turn things around next season, but not really holding my breath. Mostly I just want this season to end because I'm weary. It's not been enjoyable, honestly, at nearly any turn and the next couple of months don't hold much promise.

We need Europa league at least. Club has got to press on and do whatever it takes to get there or we could be facing a fucking shitstorm in the summer.

We’d be better off missing out on Europa League. Liverpool 2013/14 (when they nearly won the league under Rodgers), Leicester 2015/16, when they did win the league under Ranieri and Chelsea under Conte 2016/17 all recent examples of three clubs with no European distractions in first full season at the helm for manager. All three suffered little or no injuries, a consequence surely of diminished number of games with no European football. I’m not saying we’re going to win the league next season, but Thursday night trips to shitholes in the likes of Armenia, Macedonia and Finland are of questionable benefit.
