We are bottom of the form table below southampton!

Only won 2 games v Ipswich and southampton since the middle of February. It’s farcical.
The glory days of February when we won 3 league games on the trot and all our injured players more or less back and on the brink of surging up the table. Nice symmetry to the 11 games either side of that, 5 points from 33 in Games 13-23 and 27-37. We have 19 points from last 25 league games.
 
I do love how our squad is so vulnerable we can’t actually play our better players as we think they will just get injured immediately. Post Ange this could still be an issue. Our first team is made of cheese and our second teams isn’t good enough.

Are the injuries down to the way we train though? I just hope we have a complete clear out in the summer and change the medical department as well . How do players like Sess go from being a sick note here to playing every game at Fulham?
You just know as well when we sell Richie he won’t miss a game from injury all season
 
If , God willing, we win on Wednesday night ; who gives a flying
F-k what anyone else thinks .

They can analyse their arses off for all we care : all that actually matters is that we’ll be back.

Let’s all hope it happens.

I don't know if it'll be super annoying or super funny listening to the mental gymnastics of fans trying to demean it.

It'll be the spammers that are dumbest. They're going to try as hard as possible to lessen the achievement when they won a lesser version of the cup and also finished at the bottom end of the table.
 
So Ange got us 5th last season (would have got CL this season) and to European final in his second full season in charge and some people aren’t happy!?

Last year finishing 5th people were worried we would be embarrassing if we played in the CL. Best to avoid it. 5th place means you’re a bit shit.

This season we are going to finish 17th and everybody wants us to be competing in the CL next year.
It’s a major desire to get there. Our season depends on it.

17th!!! That’s shitter than shit on a shitty stick.

There’s no logic left in this fanbase.

Ange has cooked us. We’re done.
 
We may want that, but should we win it he’ll be allowed a respectful time to celebrate before the plug is pulled. The club are going to want to bask in the win and milk it on social media for all it’s worth before any negative news is released.

I reckon they’ll be a ‘mutual parting of the ways’ a week or so after the season ends.
Let him have a chance to do more press conferences if we win and he can make an even bigger tool out of himself. I can already imagine his gloating and self justifications.
 
From the BBC, see below. It does cut away some of the pathetic excuses this Twit uses. And never forget the squad was not deep enough before these injuries.


“According to data from PremierInjuries.com, Tottenham have had the third worst injury crisis in the Premier League, with United the fifth.

In total, Spurs had lost 1,414 days to injuries and suffered 38 separate injuries this season – both the third highest tallies in the league.

United, meanwhile, had lost 1,229 days to injury – the fifth most – with 30 separate injuries, which was the seventh highest figure.

However, Brighton are sat in the top 10 of the Premier League, despite having the worst injury issues so far this season.

According to the data the Seagulls are top with 1,862 days lost to 44 separate injuries - as of 15 May”
So harry7 if Ange is good enough to take over at City, that must mean the Brighton manager should be the next Real boss?
 
I suspect it will take the next manager a good year to sort this squad out and repair them mentally. Whoever it is I’m not going to be expecting much. Perfect really, nothing Levy likes more than lowering people’s expectations.
That's indeed perfect for Levy. Next season when we finish between P10-12 after he picked an average manager and spent £3.47 on incomings, he can say we've progressed post-Ange, that we're on the up, things looking promising for the future etc.
 
The glory days of February when we won 3 league games on the trot and all our injured players more or less back and on the brink of surging up the table. Nice symmetry to the 11 games either side of that, 5 points from 33 in Games 13-23 and 27-37. We have 19 points from last 25 league games.
That idea we'd have surged up the table and finished in the top 6-8 with our first 11 available more often is nothing but a myth.
 
There is a stat going around that we have a great record with our first choice back five, so it may hold some water. However a plan that is dependent on five players being fit to play every game has its obvious flaws.
Small sample IIRC, but that worked with nuggets like harry7 , sudoku & co.

A week or so ago I posted a list of games when we had all or most of our players available...and we still shat the bed.

Injuries played a part in this utterly atrocious season, but they're still way behind the gross negligence & sheer incompetence of Levy, Munn, Lange, Ange & the Jedinak boys, the players.
 
There’s others I’d get rid of before him starting with Biss
Madders, Biss, Richy, Romero, Vicario, Udogie, Bentancur...I'd throw them all off a cliff without blinking. They are so not COYS (despite Maddison talking the talk).

Dragusin, Micky, Sarr, Brennan & Kulu too, though to a lesser degree. At a stretch I might even consider giving them another shot under new, competent management.

Jury very much still out on Kinsky, Archie, Djed, Odobert...could become decent rotation players, but really don't see elite potential there.

Porro, Danso, Bergvall, Dom...they're limited at the top level, but they'll always give you 110%. True club guys. Decent blokes off the pitch. That's a proper leadership group.
