This is what I am doing now to save my own sanity!

We are not going to achieve anything this season anyway so just treat it as a massive preseason training schedule where any good performances are a bonus and any losses do not matter as Poch tries to implement his style of play and get in the personnel he needs.

The trouble is I normally destroy my house if we lose during pre-season friendlies too so not much will change :bigtears:

I think he's trying to get his point across to the victims who think we're all doomed because, ONCE AGAIN, they refuse to give the manger time like they promised they would.

It's fine for us but the players shouldn't be.

I agree with the sentiment. My comment wasnt a reflection on that.

More importantly, what the hell has happened to your avatar-I don't like change.

I've just bought my Spurs track jacket so we need to start winning some games so I don't look like a right idiot wearing it outside.

I would use another name for them to be honest. ;)

Tell Levy to charge pre-season friendly prices then.

Good advice I reckon . Well , not exactly pre season friendlies . Once you accept that we aren't going anywhere in the short term , it removes the outrage and anger .

Yes , you're less engaged in matches , I remember when we were round the top 4 places ,I found things very tense , but now defeats are less catastrophic . I guess the thrashings will still hurt, but regular defeats by a couple of goals or so...I can deal with these days . Victories and draws being nice surprises .
