Agree. But we've had a few poxy 0-1 defeats that if had turned around we could be coming into a run of form higher up the table. But yes, this season is one for consolidation and see what the summer brings.

From a relegation point of view, the pleasing thing is PL is making us difficult to beat. We don't leak a lot of goals(I'm not counting WHam). And Burnley were very fortunate to take 3pnts off us. But now PL has got us playing and goals are starting to come and spread amongst players, the tide is turning. Its just a shame there's not 10 more points on the board otherwise we might dare to dream!

Some call it booing, I call it constructive criticism. Ronaldo I can understand but Booing Brown is puzzling given his Unbelievable Tekkers...

Most sensible Refs would wait till the passage of play has ended, and blow when the ball is in the middle of the park. They always have some discretion for adding time on. I'd argue that ref has never played the game. Ludicrous.

We are in danger of a Chinese Takeaway if the major players are wanton away for more money. Modern players are nothing but money grabbing lychees at the best of times, but the money on offer is prawn crackers and It certainly leaves a sweet & sour taste in the mouth.

When the European big boys start missing out on marquee signings they will start throwing their toys out of the pram. https://www.dreamteamfc.com/c/reports-ezequiel-lavezzis-move-to-china-has-made-him-the-highest-paid-player-in-history/ Not a marquee signing at 30, but you can imagine if Messi, Naymar and the likes started getting lured away there will be trouble. There's one thing for sure, China might be able to offer top wages, but they have not got the football prestige.

This. The problem is and I was guilty of this myself, was that with those early wins, we started to sniff the play offs and it peaked our ambitions with promises of a new dawn.

Vinja, do you ever sleep?. You regularly post in the early hours of the morning. Do work night shift?

Ive had a gut feeling since Lambo(y) arrived that we would be OK and to be honest I still feel we'll be ok. But I will admit to feeling twitchy. I ve professed patience and we need to hold our nerve just now or we'll just put extra pressure on the team if we start getting tetchy. But Venkys need to take a look at them selves and start investing. The decline in quality of the squad under their ownership is unacceptable. We've got a decent management team in place, so its time to start backing them.

The Venkys Hex will stalk this Club until they're gone.
