    Did you see us today? The thing is 5th or 6th we'll be happy with once the dust settles.

    Let's hope man united follow suit.

    One pt from 9, against clubs in the relegation
    mire, when you are leading in all of those games.

    Form undeserving of a top 4 finish.

    The end of the season will see twists and turns.... I didn't expect newcastle to turn into Mike Ashley's Newcastle again Today though.

    take Kane out of the side, and we’re a bottom six club.

    Same situation as latter day Henry in Wenger times.
    League placing inflated by having a world class forward.

    I got an email from the club yesterday about tickets for our remaining games...have never had that before so I checked out the ticket line.

    Thousands available for today.
    Lots for the United game next week and plenty for the Palace and Brentford games.

    That is going to be very concerning to the club. They are charging top prices and giving us appalling football.

    I have said (like many others) that Levy should be removed from making football decisions and the fact that we sacked a manager in March with no one sorted to take over just 2 years after sacking a manager in April with no one sorted to take over only strengthens my view.

    But most of all, those running our club need to understand that if they don't get a manager that plays attacking football that they'll find themselves in the same situation arsenal were in up to last season when they played in a ground only 75% filled and a poisonous atmosphere

    I'm at that stage now where I just laughed when I saw the score , how the **** can you expect to manage a game with little or no midfield , this is beyond a joke now

    It's a mess and very amateurish the way we have ended up being managed by somebody with clearly no experience in management. For a multi million pound business it is ludicrous. Fans should stay away and stop feeding this nonsense until they realise that they are in the entertainment business. Levy is a proven financial manager but his lack of football nous has become a joke.

    Even through the pre-jol mid table mediocrity of the 90s and early 2000s I don’t think I’ve ever felt more despondent about this club than I have for 90% of this season

    The fact that the likes of Chelsea and liverpool are having Mares along with a stuttering Utd really is a pisser but typically Spurs follow suit

    We had youngsters on the bench - just at DM and CM

    It's almost as if Conte stockpiling box-to-box CMs and giving little thought to CB cover is the issue, but that would involve nuance and the ****erfied section of our fanbase think that nuance is Jimmy Saville's French cousin

    You’d think the Toon result would have the team chomping to make the most of it

    but nooo

    not these overpaid pansies who as Conte said

    don’t like pressure/stress

    I just can’t adhere to such a mentality

    **** em all

    we are exactly what Conte said

    Hate is a strong word but I think it’s finally appropriate to use it after the last few weeks about this club.

    I am not even annoyed or angry we lost, these days I struggle to celebrate our goals and just laugh when we let one in after yet another comedy show. The excitement and euphoria has been replaced with a large dose of apathy, this is what years and years of mismanagement and the club`s loser mentality has done to me.

    There are loads of corporate tickets being returned and season ticket holders putting tickets up for sale and that is a serious issue for the club as they are not attracting corporate tourists and are irritating ST holders.

    When we used to play attacking football I'd have bought tickets for Palace and United... now I think, why would I spend £50 on a Palace ticket and £65 on a united ticket plus £12 per game travelling, £4 for a programme per game and £10 per game for a drink and chips ... just to be bored ****less.

    I'm bored saying it but I can live without trophies (of course I'd like one) but detest us being boring.

    8 attempts on target against a team in the bottom 3 is unacceptable.

    That's not attacking football and nor is it a one off.

    3 on target v Brighton
    2 on target v Everton
    3 on target v Southampton
    7 on target v Forest
    2 on target v Milan
    6 on target v Wolves
    4 on target v Sheff Utd
    3 on target v Chelsea
    6 on target v West ham
    3 on target v Milan
    4 on target v Leicester

    So in our last 12 matches (7 against relegation candidates and one Championship club) our record is:
    4 wins 3 draws 5 lost
    51 attempts on targets (4.3 per game average), 16 for 16 against, 3 clean sheets failed to score 4 times, 10 points lost from winning positions and not a single game that will be remembered in a few months.

    That is a long winded way of me saying that I ain't spending what little I have left after bills etc spending £50-60 to be bored ****less
