    An age old argument this one, but I'm just wondering if you have unrealistic expectations?

    What are your expectations? I'm just wondering what people think nufc can achieve in the sport the way things are now.

    I don’t even think the average nufc fan has any expectations other than to try.

    So how do you judge that expectation? I would say they're trying it's just not working.

    Assuming they did something different, but living within the clubs means how much higher than 12th could the club get on average?

    I don't think much higher maybe 10th?

    Expectations are at an all time low

    If you're asking what could we realistically achieve, then there's clubs who have been doing worse than us recently, currently doing much better, without throwing money around

    Yes but not many stay there... Leicester and who else?

    Leeds? Let's not forget Sheff Uniteds mirage season

    Pre Ashley we where always trying to get as high as we could. Post Ashley it’s about survival.

    It’s a reflection of him and what he’s created. Your crazy if you think otherwise.

    And remember he could always sell for a sensible fee and **** OFF.

    No one is asking the test to stay.

    Wolves currently below us like, not the best example <laugh>

    Hammers are a London club too, big money.

    So are Millwall and QPR. West Ham have spent well over time though, they haven't just thrown money at it in 1 go

    Yeah Wolves wasn't the best example but they have just lost their manager to Spurs, who have 9 points from 3 with a manager captain @Roy Munson wrong said was useless

    Leicester are obviously the best example but they're so well ran

    Whenever they lose a player they just get someone better in for much cheaper, it's great. Perez is probably their biggest mistake, and Soyuncu either looks brilliant or hopeless whenever I see him

    They have a proper scouting team and network. We have nickson.

    It’s a cosy thing. They do it right. We do it cheap.

    You get what you pay for.

    Unless it’s Joelinton.

    İt's a point of principal for Fat Mike now. He ain't going until he's got all his money back, every ****ing penny.

    As he doesn't really need it, he's prepared to wait,. Forever!!!

    Also he hasn't forgotten the dog's abuse we threw at him, so revenge is a factor too.


    This is it boys, we just have to suck it up and pray for saviour to turn up!


    İt's HAPPENİNG. , eventually!

    Yeah the fans picked a fight with a guy that has handed them their arse completely.

    It's the footballing equivalent of big mouth gets knocked out.

    Nufc fans now behave like Biff after he gets sparked by mcfly.
