The season is all about stopping St Totteringham's Day now, I do not want to give them lot anything to smile about.

The problem is ..literally the next one starts right after and the way Levy is, Do we think we will have the players in Jose wants before then...no chance.
It will be 6 games in when we start introducing new signings and by then right down the league.

i'm beginning to disagree.. if Levy is going to change then the failure needs to be painful enough that he can't cover it up and bullshit around whilst other clubs sign players/managers for the future
Nice title change.

Yes I think this is right. If we finish 10th or something, no way could Levy justify doing nothing in the transfer market. If even Mourinho, one of the greatest managers ever, can’t get a tune out of this bunch, then no one will, and surely Levy will see that.

I unfortunately agree. At this point I’m sure he just thinks it’s the managers fault. Hope Joe sees this and pulls the plug and we get bought up or at least sees that the footballing shouldn’t be down to Levy anymore

Maybe just make it a more open-ended and hopefully realistic title. Something like “Journey to Not Being Bad Anymore.”

Basically all we have to aim for now is finishing above arsenal. Whilst I was very confident of this pre restart I’m now miles away from that.

Beating Wolves currently. Hard to see us getting past them next week. Your single objective looks unlikely to me.
Sadly that looks on the cards. After their debacle at Brighton Arse beginning to play like a team & it seems Arteta is having an affect on them, plus bring through a few youngsters.

Can’t say I’m surprised to see us sitting in 9th. Also can easily see Burnley beating Sheffield Utd at home tomorrow and is losing to Everton which would leave us in 11th which to be perfectly honest is about where our players levels are.
Can any of us genuinely sit here, look at our squad and think we are anything other than a mid table side. We have one world class player (Kane), one really good player (Son), and then a few potentially really good players (GLC, Ndombele, Stevie) and the rest are pretty average and are around mid table level. Are any of Dier, Winks, Dele, Aurier, Davies etc any better than what Newcastle, Southampton or Everton have got? Let’s actually compare:
Dier - Lascelles, Vestergaard, Holgate.
Winks - Shelvey, Hojberg, Gomes.
Dele - Longstaff, Ward-Prowse, Sig.
Aurier - Yedlin, KWP, Coleman.
Davies - Rose, Bertrand, Digne.
So as you can see, 5 players who have featured regularly for us are no better than mid table counterparts. I didn’t even use Sissoko as he would be further down the table with the Norwich and Villa players.
Now a massive thing is if you look at those players and compare them to what we had we would have prime Vertonghen, Dembele, Eriksen, Walker and prime Rose. An enormous drop in quality in basically the most important parts of the pitch, i.e the whole defence and central midfield.
We have no money to spend so they are waiting on the young players to mature in Tanganga, Cirkin, Sess, Skipp and White and will look to pick up bargains here and there in the meantime. It’s going to be a very slow road back to us even having a small challenge for top 4 in my opinion. Personally I’m not expecting a top 4 challenge for the next 5-7 years if the model remains the same.

Yep typical as we are on a downward spiral and that lot are starting to perform - I'd say it's looking highly plausible that we won't stop it
