Well, I don't even want to talk about this one. We are going to get pumped, the only question is by how many. There's not a single thought in my mind that the clown we currently have in charge has the gumption to go to a haunted ground for us and get any kind of a result. The main hope is that we can get through what is quite a tasty fixture usually without picking up any horrific injuries in the process.

The poll question is of more interest to me. Will Levy finally pull the trigger? I've no doubt he has his finger on the pulse of what the fans are saying online, I think the reactionary sackings of the past 6 years leave no doubt about that. The real question is whether Poch really did meet Levy and have a conversation about a return, and whether he wants that return right away or after the summer, presuming he has fixtures with the USA to compete which would presumably be finished early enough to get his feet under the desk for pre-season. I'll be honest, I don't like Mason or Wells, I think if we had better coaches in their positions we probably wouldn't be as poor as we are, but I think for the fans sake we just need a change at this point. Every slightly marginal match has the air of an inevitable draw or defeat about it at the moment, when you get to this stage under a manager there is no sense in prolonging the inevitable, yet here we are three months on seemingly stuck into doing that with our current clown.

4-1 Chelsea, we'll be lucky to keep it respectable and I don't think we will, they have a potent forward line and we melt like brie in a clay oven under any kind of pressure.
 
Ange is getting the season. Poll seems pointless to me as I’m 99% sure of this. If we were going to sack him we would have done it. We’re not relegation threatened and any other league goals are done.

It’s EL or bust. And even if we lose that, why sack mid season rather than parting ways at the end? No real good reasons for the board to act rashly at this point. We should have done it much earlier when we had lots to play for, we didn’t and now it’s sort of pointless.

Anyway, yeah they’ll beat us. Probably not 4-1, got some injuries of their own and Palmer is basically their whole threat and he’s well off it. Knowing us though it’ll be the game to get his mojo going again.

2-0 or something. Another drab affair where we do very little.
 
Ange loves a London Derby.
Im very confident we will take the bridge by storm.
They wont know what hit them.

Nah serious theres nothing to play for in the league so Im not really worried that we will lose another match against Chelsea.
But it would be nice to get something out of this so Chelsea might have to play Europa League next season.
Then we cant draw them in the cl next season.
So from that pov MUST WIN GAME:)
 
Well, we have 3 games in 7 days

3rd - Chelsea
6th - Southampton
10th - Frankfurt (h)

and then of course

13th - Wolves
17th - Frankfurt (a)

I'll give you a clue - only 2 of these fixtures matter. We absolutely must be at full strength for these games and cannot risk injury or fatigue because Brian wants to get one up on his Chelsea mate at work.

Ange masterclass incoming, and into the Semi's we go.

Think we need to build momentum, confidence and structure in the PL games to win in EL. Can’t just play Davies, Udogie, Bissouma, Johnson etc in the league and expect the EL side to look cohesive when they are replaced. Start best side vs Chelsea, perhaps rotate VDV vs Soton
 
the League does matter winning games gives the players & the supporters confidence
Ange told you hmself EVERY game matters or was he lying

Full strength this one and Frankfurt

Southampton we have to rotate as heavily as possible.

I didn’t watch the last Chelsea game. Not bothering with this one either. Shit, pointless fixture.

Whether it’s injuries, some 50/50 officiating or our own fuck ups, it’s just obvious this fixture will be missable.
 
2 weeks to dwell on this nightmare fixture where we always lose. With the current mood of the forum even more depressing and will we even put out our strongest team.
 
Forgot this was at Chelsea not ours

No chance whatsoever - it gets to the point where you may as well play the z team as the result will be the same.....especially when the league position is gone.
 
It’s Chelsea, of course it matters. We could be playing them in a pre season five a side and I would want spurs to bury their players, spill blood whatever to get the win.

We won’t do any of the above if Ange is still in charge
 
I want us to batter them because it's them and they're cunts.

Plus, despite the fact that we've been a horror show, I still want us to battle for the highest possible place this season. The players have got to toughen up mentally for whoever's managing them and they're not going to that by thinking "fuck all this" and playing table tennis football at Tottenham's 5 star country retreat.
 
Wow, didn't realise the next game is soooo far away. April?!

Wtf is Ange resting players for Fulham then ffs. 😮‍💨

What a cunt game... no chance we are getting anything. Can see it being a comfortable 2-0 with Ange recording the first negative xG in the history of stupid statistics.
