Bobby box I hear u. Unfortunately us fans want success and pay for it but levy wants a bank balance that's why we will always float mid table until he leaves.
We should report him to trading standard for wrongly selling our club to us. To do is to dare is our slogan.
Well I dare him to do the business then. practice whAt u want to preach to million of fans world wide

I think you mean we was floating around as a mid table team before he arrived Mr g, as since he's been in control of our club we've been a top 6 club! Report him to trading standards, do you think about what you write?

Yeah more of the same mindless nonsense aimed at the board. Yes they can be infuriating at times, but since ENIC took over we have been a lot better.


It's pretty easy to look at our league finishes since the PL started, and it's pretty easy to find out when ENIC took over. So it really doesn't take much to work out how much of an improvement there has been. Twice in the PL Sugar era relegation was a realistic prospect. When was the last time we had to worry about that? How many times in the PL Sugar era did we qualify for Europe?


Be careful what you wish for.

A daily poster and reader on here. I'm our own way we are all saying the same thing we the fans can see it but the suits at the lane can. no quality side need a peer house in midfield it's all about keep possession. B Rodgers is a great believer of this when he was at Swansea now with better players at Liverpool look what he has done so far. I think we missed a boat there.
The amount of money we have spent on managers and dof in the last 5 years including sacking them is a joke a fee if love to know if guess it's around 30 mil. Levy loves wasting money on that and things like the Olympic stadium bit instead of paying that extra 2-3 million on our first choice signings

Of course it's harping on about the past and it's long gone now but, what's so apparent from watching us now is the way the players are uncomfortable taking possession and when they have it they are afraid of it, not helped by the lack of options or movement around them.

We all used to laugh at Parker passing it 5yds square 95% of the time but, now we have a whole team doing it all over the park. The other difference was that he gave it to Modric or Rafa or Lennon (in form) or Bale. All players who weren't afraid of having the ball in any area. To say we miss Bale is fair, a world beater on his day but, not having players as technically gifted as Modric and Rafa is killing us. You cold give Luka the ball anywhere on the pitch and he'd control it, keep it and then use it well almost every time. Dembele is as close as we have to that now but is a poor man's Modric by a long way and never as consistent.

If you don't have those kind of players then you at least have to have a system with purpose and intent, we do not have that whatsoever. The result is abject 'attacking' and getting caught out conceding sloppy goals constantly.

4-4-2 gets you opened up against most sides (especially with our players) but, I have to say, the way we're playing now we might as well go for it and go down in flames as opposed to the slow-death of each game.

I did not think AVB was the right man but, Levy did and should've stuck by his man for this season - it has been proved sacking him when we did was stupid, just like on the pitch; no plan B!

Today; effort, possession, dominance of sorts, blah blah blah.we lost as usual. That was the worst @R$3nal performance at WHL in years and years and still they mug us. We give away counter attack chances easily with a sloppy high-line, usually exposed by sloppy and/or casual moments in front of them. They created absolutely nothing but still might have scored 2-3 comfortably.

Totally inept, we could still be out there now and not have scored. Adebayor did all he could in fairness but nobody else was going to notch or create anything decent whatsoever. Woeful is the word, it's not unlucky, it's not one of those things, it's Spurs all over.

Ironically, we cannot create a thing for ourselves yet manage to constantly create goals for the opposition out of nothing!
