It’ll be a long wait until Spurs play on Sunday night if we don’t get something, we need to seize the moment tomorrow.

Mugs game.

Still cheaper than Jacob Ramsey bargain.

If we get another Bournemouth performance on Saturday and results go similar to last weekend, we’ll be 5 points above the relegation zone with 3 to play. The other teams will all have momentum and it’ll be hard not to fear the worst. If he doesn’t get a performance out of them on Saturday it’s such fine margins now, we’d be undoubtedly the worst team in the league and in serious danger of relegation, the other teams will smell blood. Saturday is arguably the biggest match in his time here, he could present the greatest PowerPoint ever to PIF at Matfen, but I think he could be in real trouble if things go badly on Saturday. We could be sleep walking into relegation if we get another no show on the beach performance.

This is one I can see happening.

Stack of returns on website if anyone looking for a ticket.

I don’t think Amanda was the best in negotiating and managing our finances to be honest.

Fuck Murphy and Elanga off for this, absolutely sick of the sight of these useless cunts. I would play Woltemade up front with Gordon and Osula either side.

Saturday feels big for him, our form is starting to get highlighted nationally now and stories asking if we could be dragged into the relegation battle will focus minds, particularly if we get another shit show on Saturday.

Might even find out this week, would be the perfect time to finally announce training ground with Yasir in town.

He’s a squad player which is exactly what he was at Aston Villa. Definitely a tidy footballer but for 40 million i’d expect a bit more. He’s half the player of Fernandes at West Ham who we could have had.

Absolutely spot on. He made active choices in the summer, he had the keys to bring in who he wanted, how many managers in the modern game have the input he has. He chose to sign Elanga, he chose to sign Ramsey, instead of the young lad from Leicester, or even more grimly Fernandes from Southampton. The only signing I would actually give him credit for at trying to raise the bar was Woltemade and because he doesn’t fit his system he’s been binned. The Isak situation was shit but the level of fall off after the expenditure is hard to defend.

If we can’t win either of these 2 remaining home games, I can’t see how anyone can go into next season confident with Howe in charge. We looked more solid at the back tonight and thought the effort was there, but at home when we need to create and keep the door shut at the back, it’ll be far more telling next week if he can get a tune out of them.

In fairness I thought we looked more solid at the back today than in a long time. I think Arsenal looked pretty toothless which might have helped, however, it might be a different story if we play Burn against Minteh next week.

There were plenty of links to Elanga, they started in the summer Anderson went and was rumoured we first tried to broker deal then.

No it’s gone too far for me, might eat my words if we win 3 of last 5 but can’t see it. I accept every manger can have a bad season but not to this level of fall off and particularly after spending a quarter of a billion in the summer. It’s untenable and it’ll end badly by late September, early October if he remains.

I don’t surely need to put in my opinion after every post? Of course that’s in my opinion, I don’t think he can, it’s gone too far his pressers in last 2 weeks just confirm he’s stubborn and doubling now on his approach, not really a sign things will change next season.

I can certainly say people sitting on the fence will doubt him more with each passing defeat. It’s a results business and as our record gets worse the pressure intensifies each week, both in the media and with fans. Spoke to few people at work this week who are staunch Howe and are now wavering.

That we should part ways with Howe in the summer. There’s no chance he’s turning this around and delaying the inevitable is going to cost us big style next season.

Still a lot of folk on the fence in my opinion.

I can’t think of a worse team in the PL on current evidence than us. We look unmotivated, out of ideas, mentally weak and disorganised. I think this season gets a lot worse yet and the penny will drop for more each week.

I don’t think we’ll go down but I do believe we’re currently the worst team in the PL. Looked like Spurs had a bit fight about them last Saturday, which is more than anyone can say about us at the minute. An extra 5 games and I think we’d be in big trouble, I honestly don’t think Howe and Tindall have a fucking clue as it stands.

Exactly, our barometer as fans is what we see during the match, when you see players jogging back last Saturday, I would prefer he starts judging players on their performances when it matters.

Fabregas or Alonso would be the dream, think they would both help attract players and generate some real excitement around the club.
