More on about Kloppenpressing being released in him chasing down the ball before the no look finish. I can see how it would annoy other fans tbh I'm not a fan but it's not as gay as the Sturridge dance. Hated that but only seen it when he scored do it's OK.
Don't be too harsh, it's exactly the kind of thing Dele Alli will be practising over and over in pre-season rather than just improving his game.
He needs to get back to his football this season or it could never happen for him, sometimes all it takes is one fresh face to compliment others so a good summer in the transfer market is also essential. Big summer for you guys to keep up with us and city next season
Yeah i think hes got a poor attitude, thinks hes made it...bitches and clothing brands...what he needs is real competition for his place.
Yeh it could be all he needs, your squad needed it last season so failure to improve it this time round could have catastrophic results for the future, you have to take advantage of your current cl limelight and risk spending on real 1st team quality players to add to the ones you have. I don't think the gap will be as big from 2nd to 3rd next year but it still could be big if you don't improve correctly
But then you haven't had to suffer through the stifling lack of ambition that Ashley has shown for the last 10years. As Haslam has said he has turned us into a yo-yo team and each time we get in a position where hopes rise that we are on the up again he shows a lack of any forward thinking, not wanting to risk any investment to sustain the impetus. Happy to just escape relegation and reap the PL rewards. It was telling how keen he was to invest when we went down, keeping on a highly paid manager and backing him with cash from player sales, as it was protecting his investment. His cheapskate mentality has pervaded all aspects of the management of the club - he has cancelled investment in the training facilities and academy, he has reduced the Board to a 1-man show and he has managed to turn us into one of the poorest performing clubs in the PL commercially by effectively making us a Sports Direct advertising board and not allowed our commercial department to seek competitive bids for these sponsorships. Still I will still be supporting them next year and will try and get there as often as I can when I get back. I hope we can stay up this season, it will be tough now because whoever comes in will have little time to work with the team and will inherit a team where a few of the players are already attracting interest from other clubs and can claim to be unsettled by the managerial change. You may think we are a set of embarrassing twats but hey I have even heard of supporters who hoped their clubs would get relegated because they enjoyed the competition in the lower divisions more. Probably explains why you are so supportive of Ashley - you are the sort of fan his football club business model is aimed at.
I’d have had Ashley over the morons spunking money on good old East End boy I can’t live without Sandra, can’t use a mobile phone, not a facking wheeler dealer ‘arry and ****cunt Hughes’ signings for us.
No, but I nearly lost my football club 10 years ago, welcome to the point mate. A Southampton fan not understanding a lack of ambition btw? Umm okay. I'm not supportive of Ashley and understand some of the stick just gets, just saying that he by no means deserves all of it. I don't understand this sudden expectation from fans of clubs (not saying you've said this) for owners to plough their own money into clubs, not just talking Newcastle here but something that's crept in across all clubs. I bet they'd be the same people bemoaning the PL's fit and proper person test if it went tits up. You don't have to like to him, and I can see why fans don't (I probably wouldn't my point is he's no where near the worst out there and your not the hardest done by set of fans in the country. You may have been relegated under his tenure but he's always ensured that you have the squad to bounce straight back up, didn't you spend about 70 million the summer before your last relegation as well?
