You have to wonder what the big club fans actually get out of it because even their wins appear to be joyless occasions for them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To be honest I can’t wait for the inevitable drop down to the championship and to get rid of all these self-serving mercenaries Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tepid game, tepid atmosphere. 40 or 50 years ago you would’ve been able to cut the atmosphere with a knife and both sets of fans would’ve been in full voice throughout. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sadly, money is more important than the trophy cabinet nowadays. Expect a ‘weakened’ team...not that we have any obviously strong line-up.

Puel put us on a relegation trajectory in the second half of last season - Pellegrino merely auto piloted us to it.

Perhaps Reed and Kruger should be put in there and someone forget to get them out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think the club probably sussed that it is all quackery. And expensive quackery. Quackery always expensive because it doesn’t work and it’s a con-trick perpetrated by charlatans, with the sole aim of relieving the money from those with more of it than sense. At best there’s perhaps a placebo response from such ‘treatments’. If someone can explain the physiological mechanism that leads to ‘benefits’ in the striated musculature of the limbs by applying superficial chilling to the skin, then I’m prepared to change my mind... It’s also impossible to do a randomized controlled double blind trial for this sort of thing so while you can never really prove it works you can’t prove it doesn’t very easily either...

The Fat Lady is in her dressing room, lacing up her corset, and gargling with a shot of whiskey....

the pitch has been in remarkably poor condition since about November - did Spurs poach the groundsman along with Poch and that super-scout bloke with the black box encryption codes?

TBF, we could do with more needle from the stands.

Hughes has done his best, and made a difference but this team are beyond redemption. Too many mercenaries.

Classic relegation result and performance.

^ Liverpool will be genuine title contenders next season.

I agree with pretty much all of it, save for the paragraph about us not having our "self-respect stripped away by a disconnected owner". We appear now to have exactly that. Further, Kat in my view, while outwardly "having to do the decent thing" with daddy's cherished heirloom club, in reality couldn't wait to divest herself of something she had no deep affection or passion for. That slowly eroded the culture of success and ambition, and ultimately silenced the buzz of a club that regularly tweaked the noses of the Giants.

Emirates is a dreadful stadium at the best of times, but half empty as it is likely to be, will be the pits. It is looking dated and was always soulless; the architects must have had a brief to design out any chance of an atmosphere.

Guardiola couldn't keep these ****s up.

Spoilt goods. None have covered themselves in glory and the supposed stepping-stoners (boufal/hojberg/lemina/cerdric etc) will have seen their price stagnate at best. The massed ranks of crocks and journeymen are essentially worthless. The bubble is bursting except for the very, very best talent.

The sooner we return to solid banks of 20,000 young, working class men stood singing their teams' anthems, rather than gaggles of bankers in the hospitality circle wolfing grilled chicken and nasty prosecco, and gormless phone-licking tourists at grounds, the better.

Awful leftist paper.

I suspect Hughes will drop a large swathe of the shameful team that went to Stratford. There's nothing to lose. I hope he does and we might just stay up.

At the moment I'd be worried that I might be referred to the local Child Safeguarding Board...

I think several years mired mid-table in the Championship awaits us. Possibly even worse. Can't see a bounce back under this ownership or executive.
