He hasn't. He really hasn't. There's been plenty of times he could have stripped some assets. Other than Carroll, which was a ridiculous sum of money for an average player, we've held on to players and renewed contracts. The biggest failure, which is openly admitted by the club, is that we haven't seen deals through to the end. We courted Remy for over a year, then got complacent when we thought the deal was in the bag. The money was on the table and available to spend but we fucked it up. This is naivety, inexperience and a level of incompetence from Llambias, who is the chief negotiator. It'll be interesting to see how things go in the summer with regard to transfers. We've had some deals that all seemed to go our way and we've had some that have been pulled from under us at the last minute. I wonder if lessons have been learned.

Au contraire. It should be documented and pinned up on the wall as a reminder to the players of what they've been through and what they must not let happen again.

The camp is split! They clearly don't get on with each other. See how Luke Edwards can spin this one.

Why do they play theme park music?

Poor, tired defending like. Wasn't even a good corner.

Fair dos. We all deal with it in different ways I suppose.

Each to their own, like. People can do what they want. Suppose its whether you're a supporter or a spectator.

No.

I've been late a few times mind, which doesn't seem as bad somehow...

Be wary of articles that use quotes originating from French articles. Words can be twisted whichever way. He may well want away, but this doesn't necessarily act as proof.

My view too. I don't see how booing the team off at the end will improve matters at all. The players know when they've had a poor game and they'll be many times more pissed off with a poor performance than any fan would. All it serves to do is whack the pressure up, as they'll know they're only one poor touch away from a torrent of abuse. I don't get that article though. The bloke says he doesn't understand people who leave early regardless of the score, but then left early so he could get a lift home, citing the faff on of getting out of the ground as a reason. Is this not the reason a lot of people leave early at every game - to beat the crowds? Presumably this sort of fan would have left when we were 4-0 down at home to Arsenal.

Could be a deliberate ploy to divert everyone's attention while we go after our proper targets in privacy.

Free Lonsdale sweatshirts for life. He couldn't resist that.

To be fair, we had played another away game 3 days earlier, while they'd had a nice relaxing Christmas break, aided by a convenient Tube strike. We owe them one.

Fuck me. I don't think I could be bothered with a discussion like that.

Just watched that on my phone. At first I thought I saw a bit of brunette rat, but the close ups proved me wrong.

On a slightly related note, I vividly remember the smell of the first Asics strip (the black and white one we debuted in the 7-1 vs Leicester). I remember going with my mam and dad to get the full strip from the old shed style club shop. I was in the club shop a couple of weeks back and noticed the retro shirts. Couldn't resist having a smell of the replica of that particular strip - it smells exactly the same as I remember.

We should do that strip, but with buttons all the way down like a shirt, so we can wear it on more formal occasions.

Aye, a sunny day would be nice. I have this childish ideal of the first and last games of the season being perfect, sunny days with all the players in short sleeves and a the pitch looking pristine. It's like either end of the football season bookends summer.

Lick Rimmy.

The manner of the goal was fortunate, but we wouldn't have scored it if we'd sat back deep in our half and settled for a point. We pushed forward and attacked them, and it paid off.

It may look like icing, but I wouldn't be keen on tasting it...
