With all due respect (which is none); do us all a favor and fuck off somewhere else you miserable bastard.
 
Pal, it ain't about being negative, it's about being realistic about where we are vs where we should be.

Now if you want to have an actual debate and grown-up convo, feel free to tell me where I got it wrong in your opinion.
I am realistic
I know where we should be
You are not wrong, it's the way you express it
It was a joke
Relax


I've said on numerous occasions we need about 8-9 new players to challenge for the title, but always been laughed at.

So i don't bother any more! I try to get people to laugh instead, it's the only way to survive supporting this club.

Ah yeah sorry I forgot, proper Spurs fans look at our squad and think we're peak Barca from 2011-2015.

I must be a Gooner troll.

Levy thanks you warmly.
Nah, you are not a Gooner troll. However you are a melter I would imagine in the eyes of those who see Levy as a misunderstood footballing guru . A man who his adoring fans think gets all the big calls right , football’s version of Boris Johnson

EDIT: About as trustworthy imho

There were no parties at number 10
I want to win the CL and PL

Hard to tell them apart

Ah mea culpa, my good man! Love & kisses!

It's just that the likes of The Extra Mile(sey) The Extra Mile(sey) Deuterz Deuterz Ed Vanderlay Honest John Honest John & I (plus many others) are so used to being called Gooners and such clever insults soon as we dare call the club out.

no, come on though, you're presuming the worst case scenario in every situation without evidence

"Romero doesn't want to be here"
"VDV will be injured for 3 months"
"Bentancur isn't good enough"

etc

All the young players won't get better - Odobert, Tel etc

there's realism and there's outward negativity.
 
....
16 goals and 5 assists last season and you would sell him?
If someone offered £50M ... in a heartbeat ... in Anges system it worked, but will be found out this season in Franks team, being unable to take on his man / 1 v 1, inability to cross, poor strength, off the ball work... Sad but true Kudus is everything he is not, a fit Kudus starts on the right everyday above him.

It not about being harsh , its just reality / facts ... hes gotta up his game in a fair few depts big time, else he wont last long... maybe it will give him the impetus to improve n get his finger out.

This is where I'm not sure any more.

I am underwhelmed by many of THFC's 'star' players but I also suspect there is a general decline in quality across all the best teams in the Prem.

There are less and less players who you can hang your hat on for more than 2-3 seasons.

The shelf life of players has been reducing for a while and I reckon it is the high press and running tactics that are responsible for this.

The pool of very professional and consistent players has been getting smaller and smaller so the money teams can clean up like never before.

Levy doesn't need a reason to not spend the money but tbf I can see why a lot of clubs are not bothering.

The wages and fees for slightly above average players is a disgrace in 2025.
