You’re going to take shit for that prediction for quite some time.
It’s a motif thing.

It’s a motif thing.
Not allowed to be
I'm a proppa fan
Means that I have to always be positive and ignore that pesky little distraction known as reality
COYS
Nobody knows, hence the frustration.
You previously called it flawed stats... It's not stats at all.
It's just data..... Do what you want with it, but 19/20 is the most logical line to draw.......
The fact is before we moved into the new gaff we had less to spend and were spending a vast amount of what we did draw in on financing approx 50% of the stadium.
Of course; if you'd rather go back to 2001 for us and all our oppo, adjust for revenue, income, national economy inflation and market inflation differentials etc. etc. etc. then be my guest, but I suspect like me; you're not inclined to do so.
Regardless; the year to year comparisons that people are commonly keen to draw stand anyway.
You mean that when your neighbour bought that BMW 3 series, you didn't immediately go out and buy a Range Rover?
Are you a communist?
No , I immediately went out to buy a land rover for Daniel
Just to show my appreciation for all he's doing for our great club
I'm a Levyist
Yeah we will.
Maybe not this year but another one Will come.
Harry Kane isn’t Tottenham Hotspur.
Anything over 80m for a 30 year old with a year left… good for everyone
The frustration, is seeing Chelsea sign yet another CB, when their options already pissed on ours (even post Fofana, but Badia bloke is also injured so they spew another £35-40m quick (hopefully not) smart.
We all saw “He’s Shit” from Cullen, we all know Dier is not capable, Sanchez targeted by crowd. We saw our defence under a defensive coach cough up 63 Goals, getting drastically worse as a unit as the season progressed.
Leaves Romero and Davies, it is business suicide to not give a new coach at least 2weeks for such a poor performing area to improve and shape it, bed in patterns at least a little.
Just reached a point at 2 weeks out, this is lunacy and fair time to vent.
Oh no. Now you've set the hounds loose.
I like all those players but they aren’t top tier and aren’t being complemented by top tier signings. They might turn out to world class but they promising signings not top tier. We would never pay 100M for Rice or 75M for VVD

Especially if it leaves his legacy untarnished and he can go play somewhere else, win something that some of us wouldn't even mind happening. I'd be rooting for Bayern in the CL final next year if he goes.
As opposed to joining pretty much any of the Top 4 PL teams on a free next year and seeing him average 5 G+A against us per season
Of course, they should have signed a CB by now.
2 actually.
They either don’t have the financial muscle or they don’t have the financial conviction.
Either way, a club based out of the best stadium in the world shouldn’t be operating at a level so far behind their Neighbours and local rivals.
Levy should be feeling shame looking at families finding £80 a pop for their kids to buy a ticket when he hasn’t even feigned an attempt to keep up.
Chelsea dropping 40mil on another CB shortly after finding out Fofana will be out with an extended injury, meanwhile we’ve known for months that with the exception of 1 all our CBs are well below the level we require and still with dither.
Or surely not? You can’t make the claim that Lewis doesn’t care about the football side of things— I believe he doesn’t too — and then claim that chants about the football side of things are going to make him unseat Levy, financially the EPL’s most successful CEO of the last decade.
I can’t fundamentally agree that rich people have an obligation to subsidize the entertainment of everyone else on the basis that they’re rich. I don’t expect it of restauranteurs, publicans, musicians or film-makers to name a few so I regard football owners in the same light.
Like you, I’m sure that the transfer was pre-empted by an ongoing investigation.
We took 31 players on our preseason tour and that was with about 5 first teamers left at home injured. We absolutely do have to sell before we buy, that is the sad consequence of our abysmal transfer business in the last 5 years. Even Chelsea, with all their money, had to flog countless players before they could start buying this summer.
Hmm. Even if we offered 100M for Rice, he wouldn't join, so that point is moot.
That said, a good team is greater than the sum of its parts. Look at Brighton last year. That's called management, not the amassing of a group of individuals
Lol I am fully expecting Levy to give Bayern the billy big bollocks £150m fee request and sabotage the deal
jesus, hes looking more and more like gollum with aragorns hair
