Something just doesn't feel quite right at the mo though. To me, I think the Newcastle takeover was the moment things changed. No club can compete with what Newcastle have and it won't be long before Newcastle are up there at the top with City and Chelsea. If you're looking at the league now, unless there's a change of approach at Spurs, we're just gonna become one of the other 5 or 6 teams, aiming for a possible 4th place, without the financial clout to go for it every year like we did for a while under Poch. We were pushing to be one of the big boys back then... That push now seems a lot less realistic in the long run with the likes of Newcastle being able to bulldoze their way to the top. Unless there's a change of approach at Spurs, I feel like realistically, we might have to return to looking at 6th, 7th, 8th in the league again.... maybe 4th if we have a good year... Hope I'm wrong about all that, but money talks and Newcastle, Chelsea and City all have obscene money...

Shitty sandwich, but by and large that's the new reality......

Like Chavs & City before them; Nu-castle represent yet another shift in the domestic landscape (+ Europe obv. but less concerned about that in the immediate sense).... Not to mention the inflationary impact on the trf market (Fuck you PSG too!).

Said before but the financial doping in the EPL has stunted our growth and progression more than anyone..... (Think about the financial ramifications of all our 5th & 6th place finishes becoming CL qualification and the players that may have otherwise been within our reach!)

Some have refused to accept this every step of the way since 2001; just viewing things in isolation as our failure and again we'll just get viewed as falling even further behind,.

None of this is to say that we should just accept mediocrity, but in the simplest of terms the Nu-castle take-over just shunts 18 clubs one place further down the league....... And it fucks us & Arse more than anyone.... In time Liverpool will drop back off too.

he picked winks for the 3 losses before yesterday when he could of had PEH instead. if you want to win a game of football and not get run over then you do not play winks! you change system or you play someone out of position. you do not play harry fucking winks because its football suicide! its been proven time and time again with fucking years of data!

Yeah maybe cause he got no other choices? We get injured and on top of that, our squad is a paper thin.
Also holy **** if you truly believe Winks is our only problem, and that we are constantly losing cause of him.
This is ridiculous. It's a team problem, like 90% of the players are just not good enough, and this is with 5 different manager already.
Maybe our other options are worst, and thats why we use Winks ?

Let me remind to all of you, the stats before Conte arrived, we were dead last on chance created, bottom in terms of goals conceded, and also enemy team chance created was huge, and also we were dead last in terms of total KM run. We were the laziest team in the whole damn league, before Conte arrived.

And maybe that explain why he play x or y players, h?

And btw Winks didn't play when we lost to Woolwich 3-1, or the 3-0 against United.

You said we played our "best XI".

We didn't.

Yeah we did. Skipp is injured, and Winks didn't play. This was the squad that beat City, a few days ago.
Also since Conte has come, he tried pretty much every single player out there, and rotate and try them all.
Yeah i'm sure an unknown person like you(this ain't a insult, cause you are unknown to me) knows better than a World Class manage which is the best available players to pick.
Not to mention he is every single day with them, train them, and see them on the training ground, which play huge role if you going to play or not.
If you were touching football, you would have known that.

"Said before but the financial dopin the EPL has stunted our growth ...."

Are you serious? You got to be kidding. Levy spending all the money on a Bloody NFL Stadium and nothing real on players, that has stunted our growth. We were one of the most profitable clubs in the league. Our market value has multiplied ten fold since 2001

I'm 100% sure you on the Spurs Payroll. Either that or you are in some seriously need of help. 'Shift in Domestic Landscape....' my ass. We are one of the most valuable clubs in the world, with nothing more than an average team.

Can you help explain the differences between Welsh baseball and American baseball ? Or do you refer to it as Rounders for one of Wales most famous sports ?

I have no idea what you're talking about. You're literally the only whose brought up 'welsh baseball'.

Do yourself a favour, go join a baseball forum. No stop quoting me - I don't liaise with the likes of you.

P.S Learn what rugby is.

Fuck it, another creature for ignore - my list has grown massively today. Unlike your tiny penis.

Really? Skipp is injured, Bentancur is not ready, and Reguilon is average at best.
Just like 99% of the whole squads.

You can say only Kane and Son are good, and even their form is on the low. Kane form is on the low for quite some season to be fair.

Kane form has to be on the low. Yesterday he was playing as far back as Romero as stages. How is he expected to find form with the Donkeys playing around him.

Levy has put this club in a shit pile. This season is a wash out.
 

People are trying to decipher what Conté is feeling. It's not rocket science its quite clear.

"The players are always the same, the club has changed the coaches, but the players are always the same and the results don't change.

"I repeat, I am too honest to accept this type of situation and for sure we will make an assessment with the club. It is not right, not good everybody to continue to lose. I can't accept this, it is not good for no one."
