we will always be perennial bottlers until we win something. no ifs or buts. and audi cup don't count
My overall argument hasn't changed. I've made a number of comments to refute the notion of "utter neglect".
The comment you refer to (verbatum) was incorrect..... Sure, I'll concede that.
... However, I don't think we have significantly contradicted Levy's pledge as the belt tightening was already in action and we continued to wheel and deal and 'look for value' in a manner we had before. Sure, Neymar, Coutinho and 1 or 2 other deals hugely inflated the market, but we weren't splashing big money prior to 2016.
Any dip in spending spending felt negligible.... Especially as the whole 5 years of low net spend meme would effectively date between 14-19.
...So what really changed during that time frame?
Ah we finally managed to overtake them even on CEO spending...
Agree, criminal that our 2016-18 team didn't win anything, and watching average teams pick up silverware rubs salt into the wound.
The only good thing about Woolwich winning yesterday is it did spare us the site of the greedy, aggressive, sore loser, badge-kissing Tory twat Lampard lifting the trophy.
I still can't get my head around how we lost
Although Poch playing Son at left back against a peak Eden Hazard probably didn't help...
Certainly didn't help things like that hand the opposition the initiative
Also people crying about Jose playing Vorm in the first round v relegation fodder but have no problem with Poch playing Vorm in a semi final against Man U...
Obviously finishing 8th & winning Fa cup is better than coming 6th I doubt anyone would say different tbh
Look at it from a player point of view rather than a fan point of view.
Do you think winning the FA Cup is going to make PEA turn down an offer from an Elite club in Europe?
Do you think high class players abroad will look at Woolwich as an attractive proposition to go to? Lets mirror it in another league, if you're a hot prospect, would you join Getafe on the basis they won the Copa Del Rey? (they're 8th in La Liga)
Since football became such a global business, domestic cups have become less and less recognized around the world.
Years ago, no one gave a shit about the World Club Cup or the Super Cup final. Now they're becoming more important than domestic cups.
Both were huge mistakes actually.
And then he got benched for a crocked Kane because Poch wasn't brave enough to start Harry on the bench for the biggest game in our history.
Newcastle????? ....FFS!!!
We have been for the last decade or more..... Because we mattered and were resented for being in the mix and got constantly undermined by the media trying to sell off all our best assets.
We've had a shit season and still finished 6th. Get some perspective.
We do though.
Yep this is not it, we've returned to our pre-poch days as a potential banana skin for better teams rather than actually being one of those better teams.
Sorry I'm not excited or satisfied about finishing 6th like you.
Sure the 2020/2021 season didn't go the way we want to but finshing 12th means we were better than 8 other teams so I think people being upset about finishing 12th need to......GET SOME PERSPECTIVE.
Perhaps you ought to worry about that more than I.....
Mm....in an ATTEMPT to improve.....
worked a treat eh.
