Can all the doom-sayers just take a deep breath and calm down? 37 games to go..... No one's been relegated yet.
2 good signings and we will be fine. I'm his biggest critic but Cattermole will bounce back, the lad looks like he did when he had the bad back, off the pace. He can't be rested at the moment tho.
In a closely contested game I would shout from the rooftops when we have been jipped by the referee. But when we get totally outplayed and put in an utter pants performance, it doesnt bother me in the slightest.
Ok then a bit harsh, paddling pools on a hot summers afternoon? Having the rest of clan around to see who's got the biggest dick?
Does it **** still top 10 this year. Today's result is prolly down to dicks easy approach to the warm ups.
Well that game has knocked all of the pre season optimism out of me, I'm getting into the midset of it being a long season fighting relegation. In a way the final result sugarcoats how bad we were. In defence we were awful, Kaboul having an absolute nightmare, in midfield Cattermole looked a million miles away from being match sharp and when he's like that he's nowhere near a premier league player. Rodwell was his usual uninspiring self and was lucky not to get sent off diving into tackles when already on a yellow, Larson never really influenced the game either. Lens didn't look great, a few glimpses of his quality but it looks like he'll take some time to settle into the league, AJ was ineffective as ever and Defoe doesn't look well suited at all to being in the middle of a front 3. Fletch nodded in from 5 yards other than that he was dire his passing was terrible, on the plus side I though that Mathews did well when he came on, he certainly played better than Jones.
