Levy will go mental if we miss out. Not saying he’d fire Poch. But would certainly use up a lot of his credit. And some players that were undecided would definitely be off.
surely it is more likely that Poch would boot some of the players out of the club....

Whats really starting to fk me off is the continued unfair ass raping we keep getting with fixtures at the end of the season. We're playing bloody catch up at the tail end every fkin season since we became top 4 just to put the pressure on a bit more.
I fully believe this is intentional.
Canhear the media bullshit now when Chelsea inevitably win at the weekend and we dont play until Monday night. 'Just 2 points off that 4th spot now' rather than seeing if we win our games in hand we are level with Liverpool.
Conspiracy I tell ya :mad:

Can't tell if srs :shifty:

Bookies giving better odds on Jesus making a comeback at Wembley Monday night than Watford getting anything.
Perked me up a bit. Miss JC :ROFLMAO:

Still have 3 teams that have history in, and also take a perverse pleasure in fucking up our season. Leicester, Newcastle and West Brom all have this weird obsession with our downfall, so whilst it's true we don't deserve it if we piss it away from here, it's by no means a foregone conclusion.

Two weeks ago I was more than confident, but we've been here before and we've seen how this story often ends...

I saw stats yesterday that they haven't scored in their last 5 away games, and haven't beaten us in 9 attempts. Cue the Deeney 90th minute winner.


Fuck me im pessimistic today!

It's a bit of a bonus for us that WBA are going down, we draw with them so often it's ridiculous. Fully agree on Leicester, not sure if Newcastle take pleasure in it but they do have history in doing us over...

I know several Newcastle fans and trust me, they love beating us. They still go on about Robert and Martins tearing us apart. I think there is a bitterness that we were on fairly similar paths which went in significantly different directions.

I remember them tonking us 7-1 when I was a kid. Must be annoying for them how things have changed since!

What I meant was as a team, I genuinely think the Leicester players raise their game against us.

A win on Monday and we're there IMO. Pools draw with West Brom last week means they have to try and get a result against Chelsea now to allow them to ease up and concentrate on the CL.

I can see this logic but we all know nothing is that straightforward with Spurs! :)

I want at least 3 wins and end the season on a high, like last season. I hope Poch has been able to lift the players after last weekend's disappointment.

Didn't know where to post this, but why is the Transfer Wishlist thread closed? Was enjoying that one :(
Me too. Think itk was being questioned and it got locked.

Tbh imo they shouldn’t have posted any itk in it if they can’t take being questioned on it. It’s not the itk thread.

I personally love the ITK. It's the dicks who can't take it with a pinch of salt that always ruin all the fun.

What am I meant to do, read a newspaper? Fuck that, you read a newspaper!

Yea I agree but it’s also the itks that get annoyed if it dares get questioned which in reality it will.

That’s why a thread like that away from the transfer forum probably shouldn’t have itk in it.

Just for posters to talk about players they want or we are media linked to.

It’s a shame as that thread was a big part of what I went on.

Yeah, it's a shame. I was having a perfectly reasonable discussion with Hercules in there about Levy's history of spending. Perfectly civil, and friendly. But I guess we can't have any risk of handbags breaking out .

It's not about not being able to take it(not that it was me involved). They are the site rules, and bringing it into this thread just makes it worse.

That’s why I said itk shouldn’t have been in it in the first place ??

All in all we’ve lost a good thread which is disappointing

I just don't see why it needs to be questioned. Just log it and move on. There's no reason why we can't have a site-wide rule which says 'if any of these posters share ITK then the rules are the same whether it's in the transfer thread or otherwise'.

Just because Herc or Trix are in a different area of the site, I like to think I treat their 'info' posts the same as in the Transfer Threads.

If we talk about this too much, then this thread will be locked. The problem (or good thing, depending on your point of view) is that Herc is very chatty, and he responds to other people's posts, and he initiated the conversation.
