Whilst there is some merit in what you are saying, what is really irritating is that over the last 2 - 3 weeks we have been thrown a lifeline of a decent shot at the champions league with 5-6 games to go because a team with greater spending power i.e Man City have faltered, and once again we have conspired to balls it up.This unfortunately is the level we're at with the players at hand. We need to spend to get better players end of

The least one would have expected was for us to dust ourselves down after that pathetic Utd showing and go out and put in a few decent performances and play with pride and a bit of effort against Leicester Villa and Burnley and had we done that it would have boiled down to a 6 game run in and shoot out against a very out of form Man City and an out of form Liverpool and the the Saints. That 6 game shoot out would then have come down to who wants it more out of us 4 not who has the most money.
You don't need money to roll up your sleeves grow some balls and bounce back to beat Leicester Burnley and Villa, even if they are fighting off relegation. I know we beat Leicester but
it almost felt like we went out of our way to throw that game down the kitchen sink.
Lets not make the excuses for the squad and manager, they were given an opportunity that maybe some would argue we didn't deserve but we had it whether we deserved it or not and once again we failed to show up and we have paid the price and for that we only have ourselves to blame that we threw it away as quickly as we were given it. That's what hurts.
