So i guess in other words we will never win Fuck all again.
We might do but its very tough against such tough, moneyed up opposition.

Nope but you seem willing to sacrifice those principles to become a "winning club".
Yes i want to be a winning club whats wrong with that instead we are the nearly men
Spot on. We could have quite easily have taken a good lead to Italy with us and I think some of our players had too much of a rest prior to the west ham game. Sometimes it's good to have a game immediately after another using the same players as they carry on from where they left off and it can be better than a training session.I was more annoyed with our 2-0 defeat in the fiorentina game than this one. Beating Mourinhos Chelsea in a cup final was always going to be difficult. He's a pragmatist and an expert at getting the job done regardless of style.
But I really expected us to go through against fiorentina and I'm pretty annoyed even still that after all those group games we just crashed out so easily.
Think Poch will look back on these past couple weeks with lots of regret. Easy in hindsight but I wonder if he could do it all again if he would have went with a stronger starting line up in the home leg
So are most clubs mate, were in the top 6 clubs in the football league, better than 84 others, we should win more given our status in the game but there has been some terrible decision making behind the scenes for a good 25 years, its shit but its the reality.

Yeah, moneys got nothing to do with success.Wigan beat city whats wage bill got to do with it sounds like excuses again.
You are quite right that AVB did not want them. He want players who we could not afford, who did not want to join us. But of the players he could have settled for he chose those.Baldini maybe. But pretty certain AVB didn't want many of those players (except paulinho)
Sucks that we lost but I didnt really expect to win so im not too pissed over it. Im more pissed off that the NLD win continues to look more and more like a false dawn. We've been in terrible form since. Crashed out of Europa, crashed out of the top 4 competition and lost the final. It pisses me off that we continuously fail to capitalize on opportunities.
As for today, we didnt play well at all. Its amazing that people can say we did. We never looked like scoring and never made Cech have to make a great save. We didnt create chances. With all that possession, and failing to do anything in the final third, we did not play well in the slightest.
Losing today is annoying but we all knew it was the most likely outcome and it doesn't change our overall plan.
Win as many games as we can between now and the end of the season and see where that takes us in terms of final league position.
Then use the summer to shift the wasters in our squad and buy Poch some players he actually wants.
Same plan. Keep going.
SACK POCH!
AND LEVY!
AND KILL OUR ENTIRE SQUAD!
Right, now the knee-jerk stuff is out of the way, we still have an outside chance of 4th, and have made it to a cup final in our Head Coach's first season.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating selling our best players for healthy bank balance, but Townsend is certainly not one of our better players and we should cash in to improve the team.Not that old chestnut again. Not related to Joe Lewis are you?
