Imagine if we had everyone fit from the start of the season....ochsulk:
We are now 2 points better off then we were at the same stage last season. We've scored the exact same number of goals (24) and conceded one less than last season at this stage.
We were only 4 points off top last season but that's nothing to do with us. That's because other teams round us, most notably the ones who have a lot more money and spend alot more money have improved.
Improvement!
If we had spent our money more wisely, and spent more money, we would have been able to keep up with the pack. What we did is what we always do, sell some average players and replace them them with more average players.
But in which way have we improved. I accept that our defense is better, but going forward we are dreadful. We are presently sitting 5th with no realistic chance of getting top four, and even if we did we would only bottle the CL, same as we have done this year. We are horrible to watch, and the manager has no concept of what a plan B is. I can understand why we aren't good enough to win the league or the CL, but can't understand why Poch has a total disrespect for the domestic trophies when in reality they are the only two things we can possibly win. His signings with exception to Wanyama have been terrible, and he lacks the passion I like to see from a manager. The reality is that he will be sacked by the summer, and strangely enough all his supporters will deny ever rating him.
In that case she'll have to stop drinking so much elderflower cordial...that stuff is as bad as asparagus...I bet her fanny smells like elderflower, fine willow and success.
Youre a complete cock. Fuck off back to Arsehole mania and do not ever post here again. Jackass

We had a bit of luck last season with the fitness of the spine of the team. Kane, Toby, Hugo were pretty much ever present, and Dembele only missed a few. Let's see how we fare Sunday up at Manure, who are now playing some decent stuff, just not finishing enough of their chances. I expect Toby will play, one of the best CB's we've ever had.
If we get a decent performance and result, I will be very confident of a good title challenge.
A central spine of:
Hugo
Toby
Jan/Wimmer
Dembele
Kane
is very strong. If we stay clear of injuries the way we did last season, we can compete with anyone in the PL.
With Dembele and that back 5, we very rarely lose, and concede very few. With Kane and Son, we score a lot.
And please play the kids in Europa (if we're in it).
Did I miss something? What's this about Sherwood? I only see the laughing...
