Bullshit, subpar players kept us from competing for European places, corrupt referees manufactured a relegation battle. We would have been comfortably crap but outside of the relegation zone without their intervention and Woolwich would not have won the title.I admire Micky's loyalty, but poor refereeing and VAR decisions played a miniscule part of our piss poor PL form over not one, but two seasons.
De Zerbi has had seven games to guide the players through to securing our PL status. That has partially proved that the players (for the most part) was never the problem.
Like De Zerbi said, he is looking at retaining around a dozen players from the current squad.
Clean slate, good recruitment and we will be back in or close to European football next season, but no Micky VAR and poor referee decisions didn't nearly cost us relegation.
In my dreams!
Once you realize, as carl jung did, that almost everything is narrative and archetypes, your view on human psychology will shift forever.Exactly
Football died a bit this season. Not just because we were on the opposite end of it to the gooners but because fans en masse lost faith in the integrity of the premier league.
There’s always accusations of corruption but this was different. And it wasn’t even subtle.
The whole country accepted the narrative of us going down. Archetypes. Warrior paulinha for example. Savant manager. Saved usOnce you realize, as carl jung did, that almost everything is narrative and archetypes, your view on human psychology will shift forever.
You know that I have one true love*

Weird cat Carl Jung. Had some interesting ideas but too much of it gets taken as fact IMO . They are just ideas.Once you realize, as carl jung did, that almost everything is narrative and archetypes, your view on human psychology will shift forever.
I’ve had this out with my psychologist. She is convinced it’s all narrative and archetypes too. Or maybe she’s just humoring meWeird cat Carl Jung. Had some interesting ideas but too much of it gets taken as fact IMO . They are just ideas.
Danny Dyer would love that! I actually think he’s going to end up at Liverpool for the outgoing Salah?

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Everton football club and their supporters . They came not giving a shit , no banter from their fans , their players were on the beach , literally couldn’t have asked for more . Yes last 10 was nervy but that’s cos we retreated to the edge of our box but they couldn’t have been kinder to us .
