I said weeks ago that this team won't have the fight in them for a relegation battle. No leaders, no strikers, no creative players, a manager that IMO isn't up to the job and a board (owner) that seems to have lost interest. Fortunately for us there are 3 worse teams.
Preston just missed a sitter and should be 2-0 up against Aresenal and are playing a real pressing game with two CF's.

Barton back in business for Burnley at Sunderland, with a solid performance and a yellow card. Dyche included Barton as one of six changes from Burnley's defeat at Manchester City. The midfielder, who could still face an FA ban for breaching betting rules, was solid as the usual away-day theme for the Clarets continued. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/38474794
Just scored a perfectly good goal disallowed because someone was in the same postcode as the goalkeeper.
Arsenal living up to the southern softie tag. Preston striker just booked for nothing. Giroud had a great chance and dinked it ten yards wide when he could have just leathered it in.
Quality stadium, good young players comfortable on the ball and a system they all understand - passing one of the best passing teams in England off the park........we can but dream...
It really is shocking the state we are in after spending so much money. It's almost impossible to believe we could be this much worse than we were before we spent £250m - it's quite an achievement.... Burnley, Bournemouth, Brighton and even Preston an example of what can be achieved with a sensible plan
That's the saddest thing about it, we could've spent net £0 and would still be better off. Never mind a quarter of a billion spunked up the wall.
It will get a lot worse before it ever gets better. A million miles away from that day at Wembley and getting promoted.
Agree Tooting, whatever happened to TF's Short, medium and long-term plan? We really are a basket case of a club.
Stroller I can't help it. I said the same to Nines. I am gutted how I am seeing my club ruined by idiots and can do nothing about it. The whole thing is a mess.
