    The loan players and social media

    Nah, I don't think you're being grumpy. All three of them contributed very little over the course of the season, most of the time they all looked like they didn't want to be there. From January onwards, probably their main concern was just avoiding serious injury in the remaining games. As a...

    Mostly.....but depends what mood I'm in and what the subject is 😄

    This thread has been warmly received, thanks to all who have chipped in so far. The theme I'm taking from the responses so far is that my 4/10 marking was possibly too generous 😄

    Tottenham

    For me, Spurs slot neatly in along with West Ham, Leeds, Newcastle and Cardiff as the most laughably delusional in football. All 5 clubs possess the biggest chasm between levels of self esteem, and levels of actual on-pitch achievement. Cardiff probably being the worst offenders of the lot...

    Harry Darling only ever 'steps up' when we play Cardiff. The rest of the time he ranges from average to awful. We still need a complete overhaul at CB - you can't trust any of them over 46 games.

    Be interested to hear others views on this season as a whole. Few bright spots for me - Cardiff home, Rushworth's consistency, the mid-season boost that Ronald gave us, appointing Williams....after that I'm struggling. The Duff debacle, the summer transfer clangers, Oli Cooper (once a star in...

    Season 23/24 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City v Millwall FC | The EFL Championship

    Very apt end to a shite season. If we don't get this summer right, we are absolutely Dog and Ducked next year.

    Referee assistant punched

    This is completely unacceptable behaviour and I hope that bloke is jailed. Imo, you can blame VAR for things like this happening. It was pitched as something that would help referees. But in fact, all it's done is increase anger and mistrust of them. Howard Webb seems to be apologising every...

    A reflection on the season-Duff and Williams.

    Because it's easier to do that, than face the reality of where we are as a club since the parachute payments ended, that's why. The club is in a financial mess, run by imbeciles unqualified for their jobs - we've actually done well to finish where we have the last few seasons. Williams has...

    Stronger squad overall? Have a look at our matchday squad for the play off final in May 2021, and compare it to the first match after the September 2021 transfer window shut (a 0-0 v Hull). There's a marked drop off in quality, imo. Certainly in the starting XI anyway.

    I never said Martin wasn't backed (although most of what we brought in was inferior to went before, a lot of it cheap and cheerful). My objection was to the statement that he took Cooper's squad and made it worse. And you've very nicely helped prove my point there, huge turnover in players...

    Work in the summer

    Sounds a good yarn that last bit. But it just isn't true. It was nowhere near the same squad. We lost Woodman, Guehi, Roberts, Hourihane, Routledge, Dhanda, Whitaker, Lowe and Ayew that summer. Most were regular starters when fit, the others featured regularly off the bench. With the...

    A reflection on the season-Duff and Williams.

    So what you're saying is: manager goes to better run club, that has better players and better financial resources, and achieves better results, whilst playing exactly the same way as he did at the inferior-run club with inferior players and resources. Funnily enough, his two immediate...

    A reflection on the season-Duff and Williams.

    In summer 2021, we had to hand back Guehi and Woodman, and lost Connor Roberts, Ayew and Lowe. A year later we lost Flynn Downes, the best CDM we've had in years, and we didn't do a deal for Christie, because we wouldn't pay his wages. In all instances we replaced with inferior quality players...

    A reflection on the season-Duff and Williams.

    You can blame the fans for "negativity" all you want, it doesn't change the fact that the bulk of this squad has finished 14th and 10th the last two seasons and 13th-16th this season. It's an average squad with a lot of average players, at a poorly run club. Wave your rattle if you think it'll...

    A reflection on the season-Duff and Williams.

    Unfortunately, there is zero evidence to date that Coleman has even the faintest clue what he's doing. Within days of taking over he was posting weird shit on Twitter (using the club's account) to have a go at fans and media for "spreading rumours" about Winter that turned out to be true. Then...

    A reflection on the season-Duff and Williams.

    A truly forgettable season thanks to the idiocy and arrogance of Coleman and Watson, who thought they were being very clever last summer when in actual fact they couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery. They did at least put it right, although they took too long to sack Duff and way too long...

    I might have felt a bit sorry for Duff too, if it wasn't for the fact he: Told the fans the derby shouldn't matter, then went and lost the fixture a few days later Mocked the club for being stuck in the past with its passing football philosophy Spent his first couple of press conferences and...

    Rushworth aside, I couldn't make a compelling case for one player on that list. Not one. Would gladly let them all go and start afresh - a more inconsistent bunch of waifs and strays you will never see. It'll tell us all we need to know about how serious the club is about pushing forwards next...
