That’ll probably be me done with football
I absolutely despise Brendy, but til the end of the season, fuck it. Couldn't be any worse.
I have been since the start of the season pretty much. It's just not the same anymore
Yeah, that's shocking. If trueAdmin , what a gutless bunch of frauds you are.
He’s just merged it to here!
It’s mainstream now!! You can’t avoid talking about it.
The phrase is “be careful what you wish for”.
I agree. We should have went 5 in midfield.
Its not the first time our main striker has been left on his own for a hoof upfront and no one within 30 metres. Once again our whole midfield was none existent. 2 players sitting on the 18 yard line yet woolwich with acres to play in in midfield and the box. Very puzzling
Throw in an away game at PSG and it's very hard to see where wins are coming from. The way we play at home there almost a write off (how fucking bad even thinking this but 3 wins in 20 home games tells the story), we never win up at Newcastle and this bunch of players / manager will never go away to a Sean Dyche team and beat them.
Franks in real trouble
I could settle for that if i seen an actual counter attack. Our attacking play is fucking dreadful and cant see what were doing!!
Hopefully the club don't dither and twiddle their thumbs with this. This slide isn't going to stop. We're in trouble.
Despite the cries we weren't lucky, and our opening schedule wasn't easy, our luck has run out, and opposition has got tougher. How do we look for it?

At least with Ange though we had the first 10 or so games and just before VAR ruled out the second against Chelsea I actually thought we were winning it all , we did win the EL with him though so I’ll take that!
The thing with games like last night is you can lose the dressing room , getting smashed up 4-1 and giving your rivals the easiest game they will have all season is just not good enough. I get the squad is not the best but worse squads will go there this season and put up more fight than we did , I think this is one of those situations where if it gets ugly now he could be gone by Christmas
Sign of a weak manager who has lost the plot and is completely void of ideas. Body language on the touchline all wrong as well. This job is way too big for him and he knows it.
No same Frank. Teams just didn't prepare for Brentford so he often had the tactical edge. Different ball game now and he's showing no solutions
Xavi ( the ex Barcelona guy) is free...
We said the same a few month ago. And it was the same with Mourinho and others. I'm not a fan of Frank (nor was I one of Nuno or Ange) but there's a pattern here.
Besides - I fucking hate this internet/social media bullshit with all those weird groups, already did with Ange (either cult or out - Frank at least doesn't have cult members). There shouldn't be a Frank out campaign (yet), sacking Nuno was wrong too (and we only did that because Conte was ante portas). Let's see in January where we are and who is available. Otherwise keep him till summer.
We played Woolwich at the Emirates last season while missing up to 10 players (dragusin and Gray CB pairing) and only lost 2-1. We were outplayed that day but players atleast showed fight and Porro hit the post at the end to nearly rob a 2-2 draw.
Yesterday was far worse. We'd most our players available and it looked like we just only planned to sit back and let them dominate us. It was the most one sided north London Derby in my lifetime. I don't think Frank has made any progress on that metric.
He can harp on about 17th all he wants to cover up his failings but there's no way these players win any cup under him! Atleast the players loved Ange and would injured themselves playing for him every week. Our players just walk around and look pissed off under Frank
I said a few posts up (or in the match thread) that the guy that didn’t care about defending wasn’t this bad. This was as bad as anything we’ve seen in the last few years.
