Good evening.
All this weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth is all well and good cathartic but how do we and indeed will we take steps to …get a new plan, Stan? My fear is that Citizen Redschnapps is mentally in Hitler’s bunker right now.
The pity me routine has worn thin/been exhausted with the fans because the bulk of us aren’t mentally retarded. The squad isn’t awful. Sure, it’s serving up relatively awful performances, but then if you give a chimpanzee the finest ingredients known to mankind and the best kitchen to cook in, the odds are you will be chowing down on a takeaway while vets try to save the ape.
There is talk from our tight lipped supremo of winning as many of our remaining games as possible. Commendable stuff. If of course, your motor neurons fire at the same speed as a marble rolling through a tray of thickened paint.
The crucial element absent from this Lollypop Land equation is a wee thing called form. So let’s swerve naivety and not just look at our own, shall we? Ought we dare?
We face [in chronological order] QPR, Blackburn, Bolton, Villa, Fulham. Villa and Blackburn and Bolton lurk like bottom feeders, nestled in the drop zone. Blackburn’s current form reflects their season. It’s ‘roadkill’ and they are going down with t’Wolves.
Bolton’s form quite possibly guided by the hand of a higher being of course, appears to be resurgent. Better than Sunderland, than Norwich, than West Bromwich Albion.
Then onto the wounded animals.
QPR is at Loftus Road, the venue of 3 wins from their last 6. Away, they suck badly. This is a piece of professional analytical terminology I do not expect all of you to be savvy with.
Fulham could be a another skin de banane. Fancy Big Martin Jol not wanting to ruin our Champions League Parade, at The Lane?
Please, let me be your bookie.
Top, Top Player to agent: “so what about next season?”
Agent: “well I have a deal on the table from THFC”
Top, Top Player: “what Tottenham?”
Agent: “No, Titanic Hotspurs”
Top Top Player: “**?**, what’s tyhat about then?”
Agent: “easy really, re-arrange deck chairs and sink without trace…. something about a goldberg or maybe it was iceberg, I don’t recall. Anyway the band is really good there they play on apparently”
Top, Top Player: “what about the captain?”
Agent: “Well the owner is quite respected, but the captain is another matter, he tends not to know the best formation of the deck chairs and then sets them out anyway in the wrong arrangement, but the crew seem to like him even if he is a bit hapless”
Top, Top Player: “is the money good?”
Agent: “it’s mediocre”
Top, Top Player: “Will we win things?”
Agent: “probably not”
Top, Top Player: “is it a good squad of top, top players?”
Agent: “well at the moment it is, but chances are they’ll lose their top two or three stars”
Top, Top Player: “what will that leave them?”
Agent: ” Hmmm, two goalkeepers who fart dust, centrebacks with no knees and only one good leg between them, a top notch midfield player but he’s over 30, dodgy forwards and a dutch bloke on two thirds pay. Full backs aren’t bad on their day tho'”
Top, Top Player: “Is this the only deal?”
Agent: “no, there’s one to go to west Ham”
Top, Top Player: “what’s in it?”
Agent: “Apparently you get a blow job off your favourite Page 3 girl and you can give Karen Brady one up the bum…”
Top, Top Player: ” what are we waiting for? Oh and dont forget the plank”
Planktastic :lol: :lol: :lol:
arry’s gonna blame Levy for not spending in Jan.
No he won’t. Arry said in January that he didn’t need to spend. He had every position covered. Only a hypocritical, self-serving waster would say that.
I see your point.
So glad he came out in january and said that! Phew. Bet harry’s kicking himself. Still, he is the manager…Nelson??????????????????????????? boggled mind thee.
This 442 lark…how’s it supposed to work? Say we try to ease ourselves into it. If Sandro replaced Modric after 60 minutes and Defoe came on for VDV after 70 minutes. Would that be enough cover in front of the centre halfs while still giving us the four forward option?
PNB, Sandro, Modric, Bale.
VDV, Adebayor.
Lennon on for any of the midfielders.
JD on for VDV.
Sounds good, we just need to have the centre halves, preferably two that are actually fit. Just hope that Kaboom can get fit for Saturday and the rest of the run in. Ledley and Nelsen are too slow, that only leaves Gallas and he did not look fit on Sunday. What a mess !!!
Quick note while the secretaries at lunch…
The Loftus Road gig will define the guts and tempo of the run in. I believe King might have started his last game on Sunday…. its just suicide to keep him going. Give the band to VDV or even Rat Boy.
The 442 lark can work as long as Bale and Lennon stayed disciplined and not be so lazy.
Redschnappes has 5 more games with the club. Levy has got his fingers on the trigger, lets hope he’s the smiling assassin and call’s it a day.
Come on Barca!
Well I’m settled after the weekend.
I know what we need to do and when we need to do it.
The problem is I keep reading all this doom and gloom from inside the camp.
Gallas, Parker and HR all doubting the belief within the squad.
Scruff of the neck time! Get out there and knuckle down – back to basics. Like Manure did after their 6-1 drubbing.
Pack the midfield and consolidate on the small pitch at QPR.
We rely on others to do us favours. I don’t want Chelsea to win. A draw will do.
Stoke will need to improve to get a result at N’castle. Surely the barcodes cannot get as many points as us with their difficult run in…
Stoke (h) Wigan (a) Chelscum (a) Mancity (h) Everton (a)
A nice fixture arrangement of Chelscum/L’pooh in the FA Cup followed by the same teams at Anfield the following Tuesday.
Asking the scousers to do us a favour? Pah!
Still, after last night anything is possible.
