What a disgusting night. S. Tiraspol denied a great win and PSG winning with Messi scoring. If Real score a winner, that’ll top it off.

But what is that? I’ve asked multiple times on here and never been given a solid answer. Your response the other day didn’t provide any substance at all either. We’ll agree to disagree on the Board because you’re quite rightly never going to criticise them and equally I haven’t seen anything to change my opinion based on my own observations. I agree with the second and fourth paragraphs in the main. Although I’ll still make the point all that is in the Trust’s own grasp and has been for three years without acting upon it. It needs to change.

Fuck knows but I’m sure Dermot Gallagher can tell us.

Be mad if VAR ignores this

Cancelo is so underrated. Such a fantastic footballer.

Mad that a team from Moldova are currently top of a CL group that consists of Real Madrid and Inter Milan. Would love them to get through somehow.

Miss of the season contender

Hope Man City smash these Qatari dickheads. Extra points if Neymar cries. Edit - ffs.

I’ll take your word for that, as you’ve been there and I haven’t. The difference between the 80s and now is the club are actively telling the fans it doesn’t want to succeed. It’s not even hiding it. Selling your best players doesn’t equal not wanting to succeed. Leicester have continually sold their best players, but have also improved year on year - because they want to. I’m sorry, but those attending are stubborn or wanting to prove themselves as the biggest sewpafan. There’s no other fathomable reason for it. Either way, they’re actively harming the club. Ashley is literally saying “give me your money, I won’t spend it on the club, I don’t want the club to succeed and I’ll dismantle your club piece by piece in the process” and people think, “oh shit, better go down and cheer on 11 blokes who won’t even care about the club when their contracts end”. The club is bigger than the players on the pitch, the idiot in the dugout or the tosser in the boardroom. One season of not attending matches (which people coped with through Covid), would probably be the only sacrifice needed to ensure there is a club there for you and your family to follow in the future. I suppose it’s a bit like climate change, people don’t care because it doesn’t affect their own day to day life. The difference between those groups and the Trust are those groups don’t have 15k paying members. Those groups don’t have the media contacts. Those groups don’t have the loud enough voice. I wasn’t suggesting the 10,000 free tickets was because of a boycott. I was suggesting it was an indication a boycott is more achievable.

It’s impossible to justify buying a ticket like. The ‘support the team’ excuse falls on death ears when our fans spend more time booing and moaning than supporting. What is it they are supporting? The club openly says it has no ambition. The club doesn’t want to succeed. Would you go horse racing and bet on or cheer on a horse that tells you it doesn’t want to win? Other supporters don’t understand it because they’re fortunate enough to not be in this situation. 15 years ago did I think I would be boycotting my own club? No. If you spoke with Coventry fans, Blackpool fans, Leyton Orient fans etc. you might find out that they all unsurprisingly completely get it. I think you’re wrong that a boycott is impossible. It’s certainly more achievable for the Trust to ensure is well organised, rather than wasted energy in schemes like the pledge. Ashley literally had to give away 10,000 tickets, people are and were accepting a boycott is required.

Is that not a massive problem? An organisation allegedly there as a voice for the fans, which doesn’t communicate with the fans? I’ll answer that question myself. It is a problem. That’s one of the biggest problems with the Trust. They don’t communicate for a good reason. They’re not interested in what their members want, they’re interested in what they want. I’ve tried to engage with them on multiple occasions, as a member and as not. I’ve offered support, ideas, constructive criticism and have been ignored every single time. I’ve been quite clear on this frequently so won’t draw over it again. However, it’s abundantly clear that those at the head of the Trust are only there for self promotion. They may be volunteers, but they are only interested in having a pedestal to stand on. That is evidenced through the fact they have achieved absolutely nothing to date, despite three years ago promising big things. The bee in my bonnet is the fact the Trust could have, and should have, achieved a lot more and their lack of action is partly to blame for Ashley still being here.

Are you mad? How can they possibly find time for that when they need to phone Jan about someone’s ticket for Wolves? Between that and speaking once to Tracey Crouch six months ago, they’re pretty canned until 2024.

Hatice Chengiz hasn’t had her pen out in a while.

Now that Whitley has stopped being strung along by Keith, there isn’t much to have a dig at. People were just frustrated at being told every five minutes their own opinion was irrelevant because Keith is ITK and the takeover is going to happen by [insert deadline here which never happened].

Judge him on results. I mean, judge him on performances. I mean, judge him when ASM and Wilson are both fit. I mean, judge him on surviving relegation. Judge him against Rafa’s start. I mean, judge him after three seasons. Judge him in comparison to Potter. I mean, don’t compare him to Potter. Judge him on the transfer business. I mean, don’t judge him on the transfers he has no control. Must be a nightmare being Edwards. Mad that the local rags don’t pull him up on this shite. Then again, it’s a boys club with them all patting one another on the back.

He’s probably not wrong on this occasion mind. Still a cunt though.

More chance of Bruce managing us in the Championship than him getting peddled. The only way he’ll get sacked is if the takeover happens, or becomes so close that the consortium are able to have an influence on Ashley. So basically, we’ll get relegated.

It worked perfectly though? Other than a few Ashley chants sung by those funding his club, what else has he had to contend with?

Can see a total Tottenham collapse here now, if Arsenal fancy it this could get embarrassing.

Think Kane is gonna regret Spurs not cashing in on Kane too.

Dele Alli proving every week why Mourinho was right to bin him off. Mad how his career has never taken off as it could have. Another massive waste of talent. Edit - will probably show me up now.

Really want Arteta to do well. Apart from their first three games they’ve actually looked fairly decent this season. Losing to Brentford, Chelsea and Man City probably won’t be seen as such a shock by the end of the season too.

Says a lot about his quality if he can’t get a game for fucking Aberdeen.

He was going to win the ballon d'or according to some after that. In reality, he looks exactly the same player as when he left. Dwight Gayle v2.0.

I’d hazard a guess when we thrashed Bournemouth. Other than that I’d be struggling to name a match, I’m not even confident that’s right.
