I look forward to not reading his nuanced analysis.

"Just ask Hull fans" is the biggest "cake and eat it hypothetical" on this entire thread. Well done Strawlock, you never let us down on abject stupidity.

Great read. Thanks for typing out. Nice to see such a singular, specific strategic vision so well articulated. Well done Saints and Sir Les.

Not really. They're in the relegation zone, and have had a trip to Wembley already. Sunderland fans having a pop at Gus' s selection are pretty thick.

Go on, do a Hoddle gag for me. They're just so funny.

Oh Dalek. You and your made - up opinions are just so funny. You have me in stitches, you really do. Do your Hoddle stuff. Or pretend you think we are "sleepwalking to relegation". The laughs never stop.

Are you including being fourth at Christmas in your "going backwards" six months? Being that MP has got nowhere near that level, I'd happily "go backwards" from that point if we could get there again.

There's your answer.

I'm not accepting anything more than "perturbed".

Nah. Still no one.

That's pretty easy to organise as absolutely no one alive is 'distraught' about our FA Cup exit. No one.

Well, I'm convinced.

Not that funny really. Haven't been to any aways this season so hardly like I am making an exception for that Sunderland game. If you and Strawlock want to have a "I'm-the-greatest-fan" co ck wave then fill your boots. Means sh it to me, ladies.

Brilliant. Spectacular pi ss- weak point scoring from OldNick there. It was the biggest game of the season thus far, not the biggest game in our entire history. We aren't some tin pot L1 club who have never been in R5 of the cup before. Keep flailing about Nicky lad. Keep flailing.

Don't worry, you're never more than five posts away from some gimp launching into their "you people thought we were going to walk to Wembley" routine. Come on, OldNick, you're on. Wheel it out again.

Our current squad that only yesterday you said wouldn't finish in the top ten? Not sure what you're LOLing at you utter moron.

This, although I'd put Claus ahead of Fonte. Elsewhere there I'd say there is not much between Bridgey and Shaw right now, but the combination of CMFG and Bridge was immense - collectively more of a threat than, say, Shaw plus Gaston/Davis are now. Team spirit in our current squad is high but so it was back then: that squad was far more than the sum of the individuals. That's how they achieved fantastic things.

Not really - Strachan's back five far stronger than our current. That team lacked a little creatively but most of that team would get into the current squad.

2002-3. Top eight and a cup final. Solid squad with excellent performers in every department. This year's squad won't beat that.

Of course, anyone with a brain who has read this thread would know that absolutely no one, at all, is suggesting we should have walked our way to Wembley. In contrast, you can't move for dinlows making that lame-ass accusation over and over again. If this thread upsets you so much, nip off and join the party on the traditional post-victory thread saying we are now set to beat Man U, Spurs and Liverpool to a top 6 spot. I mean why not? Why not? Why not? If you like you can get all huffy and claim they think we'll be "walking to top six" if it makes you feel good.

He had zero hope for the WC anyway. Unless he has got himself a Honduras passport o the last few weeks.

I remain a huge fan of Pochettino, clearly he has been brilliant for us. I have no agenda against him. I do, however, have an agenda against you, as you are a tediously pompous feeble minded gimp.

Yeah, that Arsenal game will turn out to be the difference between us finishing eighth or ninth, and us finishing eighth or ninth.

I'm not anti our manager, and have never called him MoPo so eff knows what you're whining about. I've never turned a single thread into an "anti MoPo thread" let alone every thread. And certainly not this thread. And I think you'll find the Coventry/Portsmouth FA Cup tie that OldNick is still grizzling about happened a wee little bit longer than a month ago. Here's the thing. I'll post what I want, where I want. As long as is within the topic, which in the context of the couple of previous posts it was. Thank you.

Post of the season. What a plank.
