I honestly know exactly how you feel, it's just fucking depressing to see us like this after such wonderful years under Poch.
We better be getting fucking 3.
Chelsea aren’t playing badly under Frank and will improve further when injured players come back
ManU?
Forget them this season
In a worse state than we are
I started to believe that we had put aside the Spursey tag, that'll will teach me!
I don’t disagree but I mean it’s fucking Colchester.
Either way it was 1 year (2 windows) without investment.
Summer 19 - Broke trf record and got all key targets.
Summer 18/Jan 19 - Bugger all.
Summer 17/Jan 18 - Broke trf record + others, + big new contracts for all the big boys. Lucas in January.
As I've noted above somewhere (purely for perspective); Liverpool have bought 1 x 16 y/old in the last 2 windows. That same year when we bought no-one, City bought just one player....
Keep it real, fam...
Its bad shoccking bit look what poch has given us he has earnt the time to sort this.
Lol anyway, pointless pedantry, my point was simply that Levy also had to take some of the blame considering he is in charge. 12 months or 60 months
Have you seen proof that he was offered those 2 jobs?

It's only pointless pedantry if an over-statement of this kind is made in good faith.....
No doubt you are a paragon of virtue, but there are some in our midst that love a dirty stat or two to jack up their agenda.
Sadly I think Woolwich will get top 4.
If you build right you get a chance at the league every few years going about it the 'Wenger Way'. With this squad we got 2 real chances at both the league AND the CL FFS. How much more do you want?
Expecting that or beyond is fucking entitled and makes you sound more like those you 'hate' rather than a reasonable supporter that understands our financial limitations.
This was my first away match since Ajax due to various family stuff that have kept me rather tied up until now. I guess it’s games like this that make nights like Amsterdam so utterly amazing.
The traffic beforehand resulted in me being in the car for 5.5 hours overall. And for a shit fucking insult of a performance in a shocking plastic stadium in a crap hole of a nothing location. Thanks Spurs.
This match deserves to be filed with most of the 90s - when I first became a STH - i.e. in the ‘as bad as it gets’ section. Weirdly, I still just enjoyed being at the game and seeing some of the youngsters. But this performance was an absolute pile of shite, verging on the unforgivable.
Several things bother me. Firstly, what kind of bullshit mentality has a club like ours de-prioritising trophies under some kind of arrogant pretext that we’re focusing more on more major trophies? As if serial winners like Man Utd, Victims, Chavs ever turn their noses up on league cups or indeed any cups. Winning breeds winning. Look at City’s approach and mentality tonight. So different.
Secondly, our model and approach looks totally spent now. The intense focus on data is only getting us so far. The culture, togetherness and overall mentality of the team and this squad is simply not good enough, and it’s not creating winners.
We need a big change and we have to realise that we are missing something fundamental in our mentality that keeps us from getting close to the next level.
We need a major injection of fresh ideas, positivity and drive from somewhere. I hope Poch has it in him but this season just looks like we’re completely shell shocked from last year still.
No point commenting on the players really, except to say that I think Parrott should have been tested with the opportunity of a full 90 minutes, and that Dier showed some class coming to us at the end despite the miserable night.

Especially if VAR goes for them like the nailed on penalty that should have been awarded to Villa
