    Overall today's, sqaud is better like. The standards are higher so its harder that's all.

    I honestly think Ashley's been fine since we last got relegated.

    He's not sold our best players and he's spent alot.

    Ok he's employed a turnip, but overall he's been much better than he was before his interview before the game carver kept us up.

    No. They were in the squad that finished fifth. You’re on a roll here.

    Those were the days of the purple players bollocks, where we had no depth whatsoever. So aye, probably right.

    Ashley is still a fat piece of **** though

    I just feel like if you stop and compare Ashley now to back then it's a huge improvement.

    We don't sell our best players easily and he's spent loads by our standards since then.

    I'm really just making a case that I tho k people overlook the good things he's done because they hate him

    He's hated for a reason

    Why didn't he give Rafa the money he's gave Bruce?

    I know he's a ****, but overall there's been a big improvement.

    The employing over Jones has been a masterstroke.

    It's weird but who would've thought that the entire time man united arsenal and Tottenham fans were right that their owners were worse... West ham probably are too

    Because you said the current squad (currently in 15th position in the PL) is better than the squad that finished 5th in the PL. It isn’t.

    And standards aren’t higher now. Watch the quality of football outside the top 3 or 4. The standards are not higher.

    Yeah he had a good season, but if people are telling me he was a good player then they're crazy.

    Rip I loved him, but that side really just lived off ba Ben Arfa and Cabaye.. The rest were all ****..

    He may have been boosted by Cabaye but he wasn’t rubbish.

    Punish them severely.
    Relegation and no parachute payments. It should be relegation to division two.
