Geez could you cry any more? You should have asked Santa for some balls.I think we're pretty fckd to be honest.
Weve a manager I suspect who is starting to realise that levy has lied (not changing things v saints and today was surely an attempt to make a point? Either that or the serial winner is another Maureen....
Weve a chairmen who has gambled and lost but won't cut his losses and will hang on like maguire at a corner. He won't sell the club, accept new investment which may damage or challenge his position, which as I see things is best described ad trying to bankrupt a club, and won't spend because he ain't got anything to spend unless he sells first (see below)
We have sooooooo many players we need to get shot of but the chairmen will only likely sell if he gets his original money back for them. The fact that the majority signed in recent years have been fn terrible means they will never command the same fees we paid so theyll stay (arggg). Thinking Sanchez, Ndomshitty, Glc, PEH, Bergwyjn, Doherty Royale - fck that is group of awful signings!!!
We need new players who are better than those we have brought in for the last 4 years, but that either costs money or requires trust and ambition in terms of a scouting network (levy has chased all the good ones away) bald cunt.
I have near to zero confidence because we are so far behind other teams chasing the top 4. Fn Woolwich are a mile ahead of us. Odegard and Partey says it all! We don't have a fn creative player in that position - literally fn none! And PEH is our fn Partey -the fckr is stealing a wage from us. He demands the ball all the time but is fn useless with it. I mean seriously useless - he lowers our standard completely when we have the ball - he is comparable with shitsoko. We need those two roles fixed and this team will click - but do you think levy will sort this out - this is the idiot who got us here!!!!!!!
When did everyone get so whiny? I swear it was more positive under AVB. We haven’t lost in the league in almost two months.
Obviously there’s a lot of work to be done still, but things are going pretty decently with the club in general. Mellow out.
West Ham are having a half decent season. That's all. They aren't a club to be respected. All of their players are available to us if we want them.The days of West Ham selling their best players to us are over, for now at least.
I'd love Phillips - would be a great foil for Skipp. Also Ward-Prowse is a realistic target and a bit underrated I think.
As it relates to today, I feel like there’s a collective forgetfulness about what the Christmas period of fixtures is like. It’s always a ragged bunch of games with weird occurrences and results for every club.Yep, it's all going pretty smoothly. I hated the way we played today but in the grand scheme of things it was still far better than games under Nuno, we looked a team lacking a bit of quality but not one lacking a system or desire to win games.
We all know this squad has big holes in it that weren't going to be fixed overnight, but we seem to be progressing now, which is what matters.
Ah, didn’t realise he was that old. I’m presuming it’s paper fluff as we’re stacked on the left. Would swap him in a heartbeat for Reguillon though.He is a good LWB/ALM and I'm surprised no one's taken him from Frankfurt before, but he's 29yo now. Shouldn't really be for us, but this is the type of Conte signing we've seen before.
If we're going for an oldie, what about Guerreiro (Dortmund) he's 28, and even better than Kostic.

29 is like the peak Conte years so you never know.Ah, didn’t realise he was that old. I’m presuming it’s paper fluff as we’re stacked on the left. Would swap him in a heartbeat for Reguillon though.

Not a single chance under God's heaven that Hugo leaves this month.
Peak Conte but something we’ve never really dabbled in (Bale and occasional fading stars aside).
I mean it's a moment of truth, right now.When did everyone get so whiny? I swear it was more positive under AVB. We haven’t lost in the league in almost two months.
