Well, you got two choices.
Ewwww... sticky keys too.
Can't help but chuckle as Hoddle and TNT say we would have lost that game last year.
Erm... no. Played the same team 4 months ago twice and thumped them twice
Not exactly. What he actually said was that if we were 2-0 down to Bodo and 1-0 down to Wolves last season we would have lost both. And he’s probably right.
Which even at the time felt stupid. Look at the results before that. They were about par for the course. Not great, certainly not awful. There were also some really good football played then, we were shaky at the back given our defenders were dreadful (bar Jan). Even Walker was a bit of a liability back then. And the club signings after losing Bale, were utter tripe and had to be played.
Unfortunately, I'm quite often right about these things. People don't want to hear it at the time, but just wait and see how it turns out. It's already heading exactly where I said it would.
I hated Levy, glad he's gone. I'm sure you, like me, cried like a baby about him, and look where it's got us.
Want to bet? Because I can tell for free that sides are going to struggle going to that part of the world in that stadium on an artificial pitch that they heavily water and ice up intentionally.
Why don’t we ever try a suprise or two and play some youngsters? Frank seems hell bent on picking the tried and untested shite.
He played Odobert and Bergvall.....
1 loss in 9 games, 4th in the Prem and 4th in the CL?
I genuinely can acknowledge that we have been a hard watch on multiple occasions this season but utter fucking hyperbole like this makes it hard to take you very seriously. "should be winning" all but our game vs City I assume, last time we won at West Ham was Nov 2019 under José, Brighton did the double over us last season and went and turned over Chelsea away 3-1 a week later, you may not like what you're watching and that's perfectly valid, but claiming there's "not a hint of cohesive football" on display from a team with 1 loss from 9 games, 3 of which were 3-0 wins, just makes you sound like a petulant child.
You are so completely and utterly wrong.
I'm not looking back, I'm talking about what's ahead. And let's be honest - those numbers don't match what we've actually watched the last few games.
Not really, not where you're concerned.
they are still poor players, astro doesnt play a big a part as people make out, its still a game of football, i play 7 a side weekly on it, its still football. if anything it benefits the actual better footballers.
But they weren't losses... because of the effort the players put in for him, never giving up and constantly probing till the last second.
Hard to beat? We've had to come from 2 goals in 2 of our last 3, a goal down at the weekend. We're giving plenty of good chances up, we've been fortunate that we haven't been punished.
