Two incredibly immobile strikers. We may aswell play with a cruise liner and an arctic up top.
The future looked real bright in that moment.
Cannot believe this was just ten months ago. Was one of the best matches I've ever watched.

NOW NOW since our ban we are promoting goodwill to all at this festive time
this of course does not include those pikey cunts this week
Yeah and I miss Hoddle, Gazza, Ginola and Berba but that is also entirely irrelevant.
moreover, we haven't lost to them since, and probably should've won both games
the tides are turning
Warnock never been relegated
Get a life audrieWarnock never been relegated
You do realise Liverpool could've been 4 or 5-0 before the red card, hardly changed the game.
No matter how you view it, the buck stops with the players - and the board, who are willing to listen to them.
Some things are only clear within hindsigt. For me, after a day of contemplating the shipwreck of our (and I quote)
"long term project" (abandoned after 1½ year, not even 10 pts after the league leaders)
the players stopped playing for AVB a long, long time ago. Some more obvious than others. Players like BAE, Ade, Dembele are obvious examples, but when you just look at hightlight let alone whole games, more than just a few patterns emerge.
That fact makes me ever so sad. Has modern football really come to this?
Let us be perfectly honest: This was not a results decision. We have 22 games to play, 66 pts to play for and we are 5pts after CL, 8 pts after the leaders. Neither was it a quality of football decision. Yes, some of the football has been appalling, some of the pride dented at WHL (twice) and Etihad will be hard to forget for a while.
But we were much, much worse in large periods under Jol, under Ramos and under Redknapp (an entire half a season, in fact) - and the results were even worse.
The buck stops with the players. When he is sacked now, then it is because - and only because - it has come to Levys knowledge, that the players will not be performing for AVB. Not yesterday, not wednesday, not in the next 5-10-15 games. They simply will not. It is deductive logic. One thing is playing poorly. Another thing is, having positive knowledge, that it will not be better, no matter what the manager does.
The timing is a bad as can be; We play WHU, set piece and pressing specialists in 2 days, of the entire defence only 2 fit rightbacks left, Christmas programme lurking and the ex-manager will take entire coaching staff but for Freund (LOL) and Ferdinand (LOOOOOOOL) with him out the door.
Which blatantly implies, that the Liverpool result was not the last drop for Levy. It was planned in advance. Which brings me back to my first point. The results are quite good, the game however is poor and there is no hope of it getting better. No matter what the very expensively sacked manager and his entire backroom staff would have done.
Why? Because the players had enough.
I don't know what you feel. But I would like to see the names of those players and have the publically shamed. And then flogged in the jan transfer window. And I don't even cared whether it is the flops, whether is is the old chums guard, whether it is the AVB outcasts, whether it is our proud captain (who AVB tried to get out this summer - ask me for Meulensteens story, if you care to read it, about just that situation!) or whether it is our IMHO stars like Hugo, Jan and Sandro. I want to players who stabbed the manager, no matter who he was, out right away. They can all just fuck right off.

*could've been*.... they weren't. big difference
Much like your letter to Santa, this won't actually reach AVB. I'm really sorry Joshy boy.
Ps Santa's not real.
Sorry would never have posted ,thought you were at after school club, your mum pick you up early
bit below the belt that...
Fucking hell ,you sure
Oh dear
Backing AVB over the team, playing staff and Chairman (pretty much the club then)
On the back of the exact same thing happening at Chelsea, wouldnt you even consider the possibility that AVB may not be as perfect and ideal and innocent as you are prepared to believe?
The future looked real bright in that moment.
But did it really though? We won a game against a shit West Ham team by a wonder goal scored in the last minute by a player we all knew we would never hold on to, did it really look that bright?
