    Funny that it was on there last night and now vanished! Tell me wizard Omar how did you make it vanish? Voodoo? Spells? The accidental press of your left bollock on delete while tossing off to the latest pics of a princess with her baby feeders out? Keep up the good work (y)

    I will repeat myself again... He added the "dumb" to my post as a response to me disagreeing with his match ratings in this thread, not the other way round. So by definition for me to have a vendetta - he would have had to do something to me first, which he did not. I disagreed with his...

    Ok to be clear, I did not rate Omar’s post as dumb at any point, nor have I rated any of his posts as dumb. I disagreed with his original ratings, though there were others who did call it dumb and another person who - like me - disagreed with the original post. Simply put, the timeline of...

    I have no problem with someone disagreeing with my opinion, fact is in the Reading Ratings Thread 9 people disagreed with my ratings and none agreed!! (Despite these not being "crazy" or "offensive"). After those users disagreed with me, I did not go and find the last post from each and every...

    Dude, dont know how you can give Lloris 7.5, he had pretty much nothing to do. Also Bale, Lennon and Defoe were fairly poor in the final third. Vertonghen a 7.5 also? Played ok, but no better than the rest of the back four really. People seem to be rating some of the new players higher than...

    Match Ratings v Reading

    Friedel, 5/10 - No howlers and little to do. Not much chance with goal. Walker, 6/10 - Got to byline well and kept composure for 2nd Goal. Could have shown more commitment to track the runner for their goal. Gallas, 6/10 - Some very good defending during the second half. One very well timed...

    He is number 2 - which is slighty odd! Lloris is 25

    Levy must go

    I take your point, you are basically saying that the transfers that did come in were the easy (and cheap) options so he opted for them rather than going after exactly who AVB wanted. Totally get that and agree with you. I also now get why you are unhappy because AVB will be the one that...

    Levy must go

    haha yeah i agree with that also. The thing is, Moutinho was AVBs top target and although we did not manage to do the deal Levy did try abd get it done and it did not happen for whatever reason. Surely this showed positive intent from Levy with respect to backing AVB? Real shame that we do...

    Levy must go

    I think you make a fair point about the expectation of AVB and the strength of our squad and I agree with that, its tough to expect CL when the squad is weaker. What has happened this summer to make you think that Levy has not backed AVB?

    Levy must go

    Just to be clear on your question. Are you asking why people are not judging Levy as a failure when we do not reach the CL and you want everyone to judge him in the same way that our managers are being judged? If this is the case then I think it is a bit simplistic. Purely because Levys...

    Agree on both points. Shame we did not get Moutinho because I think that could have made a real difference to our chances this season. Without him I am just concerned that we don't have that "glue" in the team. Also tactically he would know more about what AVB would be wanting from him as he...

    Dempsey joins

    Exactly and Dempsey is a midfielder bought in for VDV, not to cover the wings where we do lack strength in depth. My point is that while Dempsey is a good player, he would not have been my priority if I had been manager as we already have cover in his position. More pressing concerns would...

    Granted Dempsey has played wide in the past, but has played a lot more centrally over the last couple of years when we have seen his best football. I don't really see him as a like for like replacement for Bale or Lennon as he will be wasted out there in the same way that VDV, Modric or...

    Levy must go

    In fairness to Levy I think he has done a tremendous job as chairman. He has grown the business side, done some brilliant deals for sponsorship and showed real ambition after we had stagnated as a club under Sugar. I am disappointed by our transfer window ins and outs - which of course is a...

    Dempsey joins

    Only time will tell. He is a player that we do not need, we needed a ball playing midfielder with defensive capabilities not another attacking midfielder where we already have players in that position. You cannot dispute that our squad is weaker now that it was at the start of the transfer...

    We made money but lost our Spurs

    Your stats might be right, but to be fair do they really reflect what we needed and what we bought in? Lloris is a good signing, I agree with that though there is a question about him physically with regards to the PL. Verthongen looks like a good footballer and I have high hopes for him, but...

    Congrats, you may have mentioned it but we have purchased a player we do not need in a position that is already filled. Smacks of a desperate purchase when the Moutinho deal was impossible. We still lack a ball playing midfielder, and cover on the wings. We have reduced our chance of getting...

    Clint Dempsey signs

    My question would be what positions can he play to make him versatile? A few guys have mentioned it, but I fail to see where he can fill in where we actually need?

    Clint Dempsey signs

    Not sure where he fits in with the tactics we are playing and the tactics we are going to be playing this season? Not convinced that he is versatile enough to give us more options and add balance to our squad. This deal smacks of desperation because Moutinho is not coming even though he is a...
