Dave Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Been any discussion about the dismal attendance today? Over 12,500 empty seats; only 70% full. The football on show was awful mind, so clearly they made the right decision. But it doesn't quite fit the Premier League's profile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Also, Villa were minging. They better hope Benteke comes back in to some decent form when he gets fit again. We at least had a semi-excuse of some new players adapting. Pardew-esque tactics from Lambert too. I swear he was much more positive when Norwich manager.

Fair play to them, an equivalent attendance at SJP would be less than 37k. Our lowest in the top flight for a long time I'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I'm not surprised it was such a poor crowd. We have spent a total 6.5m this summer, on a squad that has finished 15th, 15th and 16th the last few seasons. Now the owner wants out, he thinks that means he can stop even pretending we are trying. I know so many people who haven't renewed. Last season we lost more home games than we had in any year since 1874, ie when we were founded. I believe we won four home league games. Still, we only won one more the season before. Lerner has no ambition beyond survival, none at all and people have decided they've had enough. I'm not bothering until we change owner. I had my first season ticket in 1975, didn't renew last season and this season I am not bothering at all until we show some ambition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 So no goals scored after two games. I'm shocked and astounded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Incidentally, I genuinely think Lerner has had some sort of nervous breakdown. He just went nuts when he appointed McLeish (who makes Allardyce look like Guardiola) and just lost interest overnight. Since then it has been offensively bad. Three consecutive seasons which are amongst the worst I have ever seen, especially at home. He just doesn't give a shit any more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Perez is about 5'8 but he was still having to battle for the high balls to get a touch on the ball. All our passing is done in our own half not the opposition's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I think openly not giving a shit is worst. It's like "don't give a fuck, not going to even pretend I do". Depressing, the sooner he sells to someone who is even remotely bothered, the better. Till that happens it'll be season after season of arsing around the bottom half of the table like the fucking Albion or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything above relegation is worse than 48 points 10th/11th spot stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Cabella cant beat a man. This is worrying. Meh, he didn't have much trouble with his dribbling against City so I don't think it'll be too much of a problem. Just had to get used to the physical nature of playing here, we'll play more defences like Villa rather City so he'll now know what to expect, in terms of physicality.
