Not a snowball in hells chance of it returning after the events of the last few weeks. Bottle thrown last night the banana skin the other week and Chelsea fans being arseoles will surely be a massive setback to the reintroduction of standing areas at stadia.
What possible logical explanation is there that the modern standing areas shouldn’t be introduced because 1 Arsenal fan threw a bottle (whilst using seats), some Chelsea fans were shouting racist remarks (whilst using seats) & a Spurs fan threw a banana skin (whilst using seats)?
I take on board Otter’s comments that football’s critics will use any excuse to beat the football fan with but these 3 incidents are of on relevance whatsoever to the reintroduction of some form of terracing[/quote]
Exactly
A certain miserable horrid Portuguese flop has become available.
No way.
Look at the last manager we got from there![/quote]
Hahaha true gl, wouldn’t want that whingeing buck passing has been anywhere near our club. Said it to Utd fans when he got the job it would be a disaster. He is washed up.[/quote]
I love the guy personally.
I agree cup winners. Changing manager mid season worked out well for is in our last 2 campaigns in this league.
Exactly Stu/Donny and unfortunately we can’t afford to have 2nd and 3rd choice players that are world class. We spent about £5m in the summer and brought in 7 or 8 players. They were never going to be top quality unless they were on loan, but if we did sign 1 player for £5m that was quality then we would have even less depth than we do now. It’s the club we are and I don’t see it changing too much with the new owners except we may see more of the likes of Gelhardt move up than we normally do.
I’m sure most would have taken 16th at the beginning of the season. I can’t say I would be enthusiastic to watch such uninspiring stuff. But if we could bank that 16th place, and prepare for next season, fair enough.Trouble is I don’t think we’ve bottomed out. I could be completely wrong and we go onto pick-up a healthy points haul. But we haven’t been ticking along, picking up the odd points, home and away. We have won 1 point from 27 away and relied on great home form.
Our next three home games are Brum, Sheff U and Villa. Is Cook going to be telling us we can’t expect too much? Because if we pick up any less than 3pts from those fixtures, and our away form doesn’t improve, we’ll be bottom three in January. A difficult window to bring players and turn it around at the best of times. Even worse if your struggling.
The sides below us only win when they play us ;)
It’s going to be a long season with plenty ups and even more downs. Personally, I think we will survive but not by much.
I wouldn’t say many of them have outplayed us either. Ipswich didn’t and Bolton didn’t, we just can’t/don’t take our chances.
We have been in a relegation scrap since the first ball was kicked SH77. We got a great start though and now our fans (or some) think we should be playoff material yet would have all snapped your hand off for 16th at the start of the season.
Unai Emery will be set to leave Arsenal tomorrow seeing as they just lost to Southampton who hadn’t won at home all season.
To add to the big club little club debate, same incident happened at Chelsea today as Naismith last week and a yellow card given.
