Good afternoon.
A footballless Saturday and here in jolly old Blighty I can tell you that direct and immediate action needed taking to prevent a severe attack of the Collywobbles setting in. There are only so many times a man can watch Carry On films…
Mind you. Nothing a Chinese meal for at least three ordered for one, several thousand ice cold beers and Sexy Beast on DVD can’t cure. Wallop.
The End of Season Survey was a success in terms of participation, a good couple of thousand joined in; so a big thank you to all those who had a go. Always appreciated.
Question 1. This was about the goalie situation. Interesting stuff. 58% of you want to shop again. Retaining Brad appealed to 35% and 6% of you would give poor old Gomes another spin. Carlo was on the floor here, I guess the Wembley fiasco didn’t help. Just 2% would give him another go.
Question 2. Kyle Walker. The people’s choice. 50% believe he needs coaching. 47% just wanted opted for ‘what a star’, with a brave lunatic fringe supporting the idea we play him as a winger.
Question 3. Benny Barnet. This was interesting. 84% said he wasn’t perfect, but he was first choice. The remaining 16% split themselves down the middle. 8% wanted shot of him. 8% suggested coaching.
Question 4. I do hope someone at the Club above the pay grade of Megastore Coat Hanger Manager is reading this. 93% want Vertonghen or similar. Only 7% thought that Eunice & Daws were the future. The jig is up. The existing pair are decent men, but we need to shop. And now.
Question 5. Modric is as could have been expected split opinion. 71% adnitted his sale would be a killer blow. 29% said they didn’t get the hype. So on balance Levy & Co. did the right thing.
Question 6. Pienaar. The man who never was. 64% want him just sold. The remaining 36% want him recalled.
Question 7. Adebayor. More sharp voting. 70% want him permanently on a deal that doesn’t cripple us, the other 30% don’t.
Question 8. This could be argued that it was a set up. But here goes anyway. 86% expressed shock at the quality of set pieces. 14% felt things were going just fine on the coaching front.
Question 9. This was about naming your most improved player. Top 3 were Kyle in pole with 35%, Sandro in second with 26% and Jake on 18%. Everyone else was in single figures.
Question 10. This was about naming your player of the season. Top 3 were Scotty in pole with 36%, Raging Kaboom in close second with 30% and Kyle with 11%. Everyone else was in single figures.
Never thought I would say this but totally underwhelmed at finishing fourth.
Particularly as the team we handed third to are the scum.
.
If you’re underwhelmed by 4th surely that shows how far we’ve come.
No, we threw third place away, it was ours for the taking and we blew it big time.
Happy St Totteringham’s Day to Spurs fans everywhere. ;-)
fuck off you inbred piece of shite
.
Thanks goon. Quite late this year wasn’t it?
Better late than never. At least a case of the tom tits can’t be used like the last final day decider!
Eat a bag of dicks. Or “Sundday” as you call it.
Are you a two dimensional cartoon character?
3rd spot nicked from us by
1. Terry’s racism leading to Capello’s resignation
2. Fulop – brought to England by, er, THFC
Go Bayern! We’ll get an extra match by being in the qualifiers. If we miss out then there’s no CL football to distract us from getting a top 4 spot to get us into the, er, CL.
COYS!
feel pilfridged at the mo….

List of last 10 seasons’ finishes from 2001/2 to today; 9th, 10th, 14th, 9th, 5th, 5th, 11th, 8th, 4th, 5th and 4th.
We shouldn’t really be judging our level of success in the league according to our local rivals. I don’t really give a toss where anyone else finishes, I just want to see us continue to improve with whoever as manager and whoever as players.
Levy deserves a pat on the head for having learned from his past mistakes, taking no shit from players and inching us ever forward.
COYS
Well said
and two of the old Sky 4 not even in the top 5 – good news
Let’s hope they learn by this years mistakes. We’ll still be be decent next season…
