You're incapable of responding to what people ACTUALLY write aren't.
Chat shit > Called on it > respond with a constant flurry of "yeh but what about"-ism, goalpost moving.
Gobshite essentially.
You said "2/3 years" of "Bollocks", Blakey.......
That's nonsense.
I siad bollocks of the last few years including the last 2-3 years of Poch. I clarified that 16-17 was good, but it was downhill from there. That's how I feel about it. 17-18 not as bad as 18-19 but I didn't enjoy either much because I could see it going to shit.
And nothing you will say will change my opinion on that so if 17-18 was good for you that's fine, let's just agree that we felt differently about it.
2017-18?
Wasn’t that the year we finished 3rd — banged 6 past Everton at Goodison etc?
Got to the semis of the FA Cup and got beat by an inferior United team and eliminated in the Champions League (last 8?) by Juve in a really naive few minutes?
Could be I’m getting the year wrong but if not then our fans have become quite the entitled bunch.
Oh fuck off....
You want to talk about entitlement, All the fans want is to see the club lift a trophy, any trophy.
Hardly entitlement given the money they pay to watch this club.
Fuck me, this clubs fans are among the most patient on the planet, 20 odd years with 1 sodding trophy and still filling a £61k stadium paying top prices. Either that or we are mugs. Take your pick.
I also notice you didn't mention Woolwich and Liverpool alongside City.
They are in a title race and operating without that Oil money on a similar revenue to us. Which is precisley why I suspect that you didn't mention them.
Up until Klopp arrived we were finishing above Liverpool, and its been only been last season and this current season that we suddenly find ourselves in Woolwich's shadow again? What happened? What changed?
Couldn't be anything to do with the ambition those two clubs showed to try and kick on to the next level could it?
Liverpool went out and got Allision and VDV (among others), as a result they overtook us, left us in the dust and won a league title and a CL. Woolwich doing the same now with Rice (among others) Even if Woolwich ultimatley fall short bet they go again with another couple of big signings in the summer.
And before you say, "we spent money we just didn't spend it wisely" So did Woolwich. They blew what £70m on Pepe? They just ate that loss though didn't they, and carried on spending big.
Why can't we compete with those two clubs? Why aren't we matching those 2 clubs for ambition?
Or are we just imposing a glass ceiling on ourselves because "we are plucky little Spurs" and they are footballing giants. Even though we have the means to financially compete with them on a fairly even footing?
Your narrative simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
He's the gooner. His original username was George Graham.
I do believe that’s going to be you, Felicia.
Frankly, I’d rather watch a season like 2017-18 than languish in 14th without European football than string together 5 wins — mostly against 2nd rate opposition — and win a poxy League Cup.
I pay for tickets to be entertained the whole year.
Bye, Felicia.
It was ‘The Ghost’, actually. You’ve probably never heard of him as you’ve never heard of Ted Hughes.
If I were you I’d be doing something useful like signing up for SC rather than cheering on Arteta’s biggest fanboy aka The Coke-Saka for your last half season.
Bye, Felicia.
The vast majority of people who aren't fans of poetry probably haven't heard of Ted Hughes.
But you count that as a win if you like, this is precisley why you are such a pretentious prick.
Not that Ted Hughes.
Can’t you read?
