First game I've not been arsed about in months

Sorry about me, I just have this thing where I watch us play awful and don't think magically come August we won't be playing terrible anymore.

You do know know we wouldn't have rested all our best players if this wasn't a dead rubber?

Not watching but those possession and passes stats can't be right... Can they?

Looks worse in stats than it does on the pitch. We cant keep the ball but theyve only had one chance, excellent save by Asmir

Maybe if you've just watched a guy lauded by 40,000 blues on the field having turned around the most important game in 25 years and then called him a moron three days later... Just maybe you're the problem.

I don't think it is unreasonable to be happy Frank has seen us through safely and also think that he's not proven he's a decent manager yet.

The numbers are still really bad. The way we play is still really bad.

Blaming the players is partially right but it is also wishful thinking regarding Frank.

Let’s see how they respond to the news of Spurs scoring

Spurs 1 - 0

Do you think we'd have approached it differently?

 

[Noble Savage]

I'm shocked a team, with multiple reserves in it, that finished 16th isn't flying, SHOCKED.

But, but but, but 10 percent possession.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Remember when Lampard said the fans were dead boss and then repaid the ones that travelled to London with a horrendous XI in a game we were likely to get walloped in even with a full strength team?

What exactly are we saving these players for???

 

[Dublin blue 75]

That should have been 2 nil wolves

 

[ToffeeTim]

Do you think we'd have approached it differently?

No but better players are harder for opponents to play against.

They aren't trying to do anything though. That's the issue, not that it isn't working, that it isn't even being attempted.

Well what would you expect from a moron?

Edit: you might also want to try the being happy part.

 

[kleew]

Just need to keep our shape and frustrate their onslaught
