Good win against Villa for sure and I see the AVB is wonderful brigade were out in force and one of our senior posters was giving me a bit of verbal as always.
Have any of you looked at a league table lately ?
Against other teams that are in the top 8 we have won one game. Yes one game. Hardly awe inspiring is it ? We beat a villa side who were nothing short of awful and I am being told how wonderful AVB is AGAIN.
Lets have a story of the season so far and lets have the FULL story not just a load of kids jumping up and down at the odd good result.
Firstly the Europa, despite AVB fielding a strong side for Europa games we have looked very average and it went down to our last game to ensure we qualified. Hardly awe inspiring stuff.
We have been knocked out of one domestic cup by an extremely average team who are actually 7 places below us and 8 points behind us. Hardly something to boast about is it ?
We have beaten ONE team who are in the top 8. Ok that one team was utd away. fair enough we all enjoyed that one but thats the only win we have had against the other 7 teams around us.
We have lost at home to Wigan ? Yes the same Wigan who are in the bottom 3. We also failed to score at home against Stoke. The only other 2 teams to fail to score in a home game against Stoke this season are pool and villa. Again hardly anything to set excited about is it ?
Our local woolwich rivals have had an awful start to the season but surprise, surprise they are only 3 points behind us with a game in hand and have only lost 4 times in the league to our 6. Their defence which has been totally slaughtered by everybody in the media have conceeded 18 goals in the league. Guess what ? Our has conceeded 25. 5 of them away to woolwich I may add.
We have also scored less goals at home in the league than anybody else in the top 7. Again hardly jaw dropping stuff is it.
This is not opinions these are hard facts.
We have won 10 premiership games so far this season and 5 of them have been against the bottom 5 teams in the league at the moment (lucky for us we have played villa twice). As I said earlier only one has been against a team in the top 8 of the league table.
Can you please tell me again what a wonderful job AVB is doing but this time try using a few facts to support your claims and please dont use a 4-0 win against an absolutely terrible side who lost 8-0 the game before as some form of yardstick.
Some people call me negative, some say I am never happy but the one thing you cant question about this article is its accuracy because its not based on opinions its based on fact.
So criticise me again Sindy for not rating AVB and then tell me again just what a great job he is doing. No skin off my back I dont have to make you look silly the facts do that for me.
Have a good New Year all

"we have done about as I expected barring I expected barring getting knocked out of the cup by Norwich I never really expected that"
Why not ??
Spurs had been put out of the League Cup by the first PL team they faced, in the two previous seasons.

you seem to be saying :
1. AVB wrecks a club's form
2. You expected our form to improve under AVB from bottom half of the table, to 3rd.
I dont know how anyone could understand that without an explanation tbf.

Yes with weakened teams fielded. To be fair to AVB at least he does not do that because that annoys the hell out of me

Is that what I said ? Try again and this time be accurate
2. You expected our form to improve under AVB from bottom half of the table, to 3rd.
Bottom half of the table last season ? I would check that out if I were you

"Yes with weakened teams fielded."
But was not AVB in the throes of the 80th min + defensive subs then ??
If so, then you knew what the outcome would be.

in the last 3 months of the season our form was bottom half of the table.
how is being in 3rd place wrecking that form ?
i would have thought that if you were expecting AVB to wreck our form, we would have had to have been in the relegation zone. we're nowhere near it - we're the other end of the table.

To be honest with virtually a full strength side I expected to beat Norwich relatively easily
