  1. It's quite some feat in the modern game and all above board too.
  2. Me too, dreading Arsenal winning the league, they're already insufferable.
  3. I wonder why he never bothered when he was here before then ?
  4. I agree up to a point , Chilwell needs to be coached to look up when crossing instead of just "putting it in an area" other than that he's not too bad , Cucu is coming along nicely , I did hear a rumour we were after a taller player to help out aerially so it wouldn't surprise me if Chilwell , with his injury history is moved on.
  5. I think that's human nature though , I was broadly supportive of Potter firstly because I was happy with the choice and secondly because my faith in the players was being eroded on a weekly basis , I still hold them more responsible for our demise than I do him , I understand that there was a great upheaval at the time but many of the players we were relying on to see us through this in my opnion didn't care and couldn't wait to get away . With Poch I was excited when he was announced , delighted how we set up pre season and then utterly dismayed how due to losing Nkunku he changed his approach completely and at times seemed to be actually trying to play players in positions which weakened the team and made those same players worse not better , it was almost a betrayal and that's why I called him out for a coward and turned almost immediately , I was hoping for great things and was given virtually nothing in return.
  6. Well it's certainly not agenda driven on my behalf . I contend still that the lack of any and I mean any structure in the side from the early days coupled with his "shit the bed" approach when at the time he'd lost one player to injury at the beginning of the season coupled to his known ruthless fitness regime losing players to injury cost us at the beginning of the season . When the players are all aware of their roles in the side , where to be when we have possession of the ball and where to be when we're out of position , how to move as a unit , how to get the best out of the disparate bunch he'd inherited we would have more points now . He's certainly a lucky coach , he's lucky that as time has gone on the players have learned each others games over time and are playing more like a unit now although the defensive side of the game is still disastrous , he's lucky the FM guys decided Cole Palmer was worth investing in. I'm at the stage where I actually think ripping up and starting again isn't the best option with the players we have seeing as they all appear to like him and appreciate him and I do believe that's far more important to the football club than any amount of speculation and critique on a football forum for novices who do not know the full picture .
  7. Well if you can stop the dithering because nobody has it drilled into them where they should be at any given time you can stop the dopey conceded goals that is the fruit of the dithering. He's capable of doing it, the pro Poch guys should really be looking into why he hasn't bothered and questioning him. I'm resigned to him getting another season now and there is definitely a "but what if the new bloke is worse aspect to it" on my behalf. As I've said time and again , I just want him to be better.
  8. We'd be twenty points better off if he'd done anything earlier on in the season. Chaos football is fine to a point and that point is where he fails, time and time again and he will eventually fail here.
  9. Yes agreed, we keep ours in the utility for this reason, we do get the occasional mouse though!
  10. I feel you, 20kg bags of seed, mixed with mealworm and added nigella and sunflower kernels
  11. We spend fortunes on it It adds to the majesty of the surroundings though so no complaints I've got ten dogs and we moved here so they can have a massive garden to play in which they absolutely love. As I write this I'm sitting out here drinking a London Pride, the dogs are running around and I have two pigeons on my bird table and there are loads of other birds chirping the evening chorus getting ready for bed.
  12. Same here, I love all the small birds that visit my garden, I sit out here all day watching them and we feed them too. Never thought I'd ever get so invested in it.
  13. Physician heal thyself springs to mind. Blokes a 24 carat asshat.
  14. He's had an excellent first season , I've been largely impressed by him , and very good value for money too.
  15. It was like watching the last game of the season when you've won the league weeks previously and have the Champions league final mid week. Obviously none of that will happen under Pochettino so this type of performance is all he can give us as a reminder.
  16. The times a Forest player has cleaned a Chelsea player out today and the ref hasn't noticed is incredible.
  17. Don't worry, I'm sure Pochettino has a plan. I saw him turn around on the bench and tell his son to start the car.
