Some good posts by Dunc and Adrian, but there is an elephant in the room. Would we have the squad to deal with the Europa Cup games AND the PL next season ? We go tits up when we lose 2 or 3 players for whatever reason.

Oh come on, how naiive can you get ? I know which interpretation I believe. Money talks, f**k the rest.

Yes I am, but p*ssed off its same sh*t different day down at SMS.

I am a strong believer in looking at the back 5 as a unit. I remember how pants Niemi looked having to play behind Klaus at Krap Notarf in April 2005. Pochettino today elected to play Jos and Kelvin (not so sure Clyne vs. Chambers had a real impact). You can argue he changed 2 or 3 of the back 5. Not forgetting VW played for Morgan (utter insanity..) And we wonder why today unfolded as it did.

No its not, its his usual spin-filled toadying sycophancy.

Tiredness = professional athletes, training mornings, played for 270mins in the last 8 days. Riiight.......... Over the last 3 weeks, me with my sedentrary lifestyle have frequently had to shovel tons of snow a day, I had to work 12 hours a day to prepare for a week-long meeting in the US, fly there, conduct/negotiate the meeting as the most senior person from my company whilst suffering from jet-lag and the after-effects of the strong sedative I had to take to deal with my Bergkamp-magnitude fear of flying, come back under the same chemcial influence, communicate results of meeting to my company whilst catching up on more jeg-lag plus a weeks work I hadnt supervised in others, AND deal with more f**king snow, 3 sick kids and a wife suffering from acute cabin-fever. Our players are a bunch of poofy prima-donnas.

I think you are a complete tw*t, but are spot-on in this respect. I hope some scales have fallen from certain people's eyes today.

Today has unequivocally proven to me that we are the same little-league chicken-sh*t zero ambition outfit we've always been, only we've simply been through a few seasons of delusion, like a "virus going round" fever picked up from the other drooling toddlers at kindergarten.

This. Today was a massive "F**K YOU" to the hardcore travelling fans so appreciated over recent weeks.

for all those lecturing the whingers, spare a thought for our travelling fans who thought team and manager would give this cup run a good, honest go

Serious questions about MP for me now. The changes, and the preparation for this game.

just looked in for the first time. cant believe we are going for the cup considering the team weve fielded

Was f**king awful on the latest Ashes tour. A senior pro that constantly let the team down. Best well shot of him. I am sure he is gutted, considering how much money he is about to make from the IPL...

Only gone and made us his dark horses for the Cup. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/26145600 Kiss-of-Death if ever I read one..

Those buckets you clean the spuds in before peeling are big enough to fall into ? Besides, methinks you tell porkies; mobile phone signals do not penetrate very far under water. Or does The Royal Navy spend a fortune on satellite links so uppity matelots can spend their free time abusing people on footie chat-sites ?

You're a perv, but I like it... :poundit:

Jeez, not this again....

I dont see us losing to ManYoo. They will have nothing to play for by then, I reckon, and with the WC coming up, the likes of Rooney and Van Persie will be totally off the boil.

Will be delighted with 6th or 7th. Considering where we were in November, 8th sounds like an anti-climax...

Unfortunately this was my initial reaction too.

Curious how we will play this. Is FA cup now focus, or do we still fancy our chances for Europa League ? I think we are too far behind, personally.

Really pleased for him that its been going so well recently. Would like us to get another CB in summer and say bye to Jos, but would like us to keep Yoshida as back-up if possible.

Very impressed - just checked on Wikipedia and found out Bravo November is still in service. What a fantastic old lady. 4 pilots have won DFCs in her.

For me its still as fresh and funny as the Ted Bates statue mk.1 or the "time to cash in on Cork" thread
