It is, to be fair. Leeds got promoted and sit 12th, with a shiiiiiit squad.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They spent alot of money and got knocked out the FA Cup by Mark Wright and his brother.
Someone from Towie knocked Leeds out of the FA Cup.

he came on at 3-0 in injury time
Leeds embarrassing themselves in the cup isn’t anything new. Playing well in the league is. And they’ve done it with a shiiiiit squad. They’ve done very well the last 18 months. Patrick facking Bamford is one of the top scorers in the league ffs. And it’s because of the way they play, not because he’s any good.

But Bielsa is genius and Leeds are great Z z z. They have spent alot of money and were great at Old Trafford. If people like that style of football, go support them.

We haven't faced anyone of note in Europe - though it's difficult to forget that in the qualifiers, we were 1-0 down to the team laying 5th in the Bulgarian league with 10 mins to go. Fortunately, they had 2 men sent off and we got through by the skin of our teeth.
FA Cup - Marine.
Carabao - Good draw against a disappointing Chelsea, and then bye's and Championship teams.
We are sh!t mate. With a sh!t manager.
In Son, Kane and Ndombele, we have world class players who constantly get us out of trouble.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sh!t fans like you and most other posters on here. You forgot to write that mate. I feel for you though. Pinning all your hopes on King Jose being sacked by Xmas. Bahahahahaha
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why am I a sh!t fan? I want what is best for the team, I think Mourinho is a disaster for us and the longer he stays, the more damage he will do.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The damage was done by Poch. You should be glad Jose is here. Look how well he has improved Kane, Son Ndombele. Brought in Reg and PEH. Lloris is looking better. Transformed Dier. Brought Toby back into the team. It takes time to undo the mess Poch left us in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow, I'm absolutely staggered by that last comment. Do you really think over a year on that we've improved? Sure we had a bit of a dip in form at the end of Poch's reign but you can't judge him entirely on that. The football was great, got to a couple of finals, very nearly won the greatest club competition of all yet for some reason you think we should be glad Jose is here? The football is absolutely woeful mate. Plus in order to get to the League Cup final, we've had some serious luck with the draws. Same goes for the EL.
In short, we now play terrible football and are inconsistent in terms of results. We have no real plan other than giving the ball to our best two players to get us out of a hole. Under Poch we had a team, an identity and a plan. I'm so shocked that anyone can push their head above the parapet and declare we've improved without even a hint of irony. It's laughable to be honest.

In short when Poch left we were 14th in the league. Results/league positions have improved.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone always uses that 14th place position as a stick to bash Poch with. We had a dip, sure but we'd never previously been in that position. We were always in the top 4. Surely an average should be taken regarding Poch's reign. If we look at isolated points in a season, you could argue that Pep should have been sacked at City. About the same point this season that Poch was sacked in the previous campaign, City were in the bottom half of the table. Should he be judged on that? No. Should he be sacked for that? No. Teams have fluctuating fortunes at times and I think the fans have completely underestimated the effect losing the CL final had on our morale. That was the culmination of 5 years hard work and we tripped at the final hurdle. That's hard to lift yourself up from. The way you normally get over something like that is bringing in a few top players to reenergise the squad and rebuild belief, as Liverpool did after losing the first CL final by bringing in Allison and VVD. Levy didn't back Poch so we had lost the final and not refreshed the squad. Of course you lose faith and drop your levels. It's natural. But to drop it all at Poch's door is nothing short of moronic. The buck stops with Levy for me. One for not keeping faith with Poch and more crucially, not backing him in the same way Jose was last summer. If we'd done that at the right time, we might be in Liverpool's shoes now.
The one thing that separates Poch from Klopp and Pep is that the latter two have been backed by the owners financially.

Ok Sandy
I definitely remember Mourinho defenders saying "Wait till he's been at the club a year before judging". Funny how that's shifted to "another 2-3 transfer windows."
07/08 Spurs got to the league cup final, FA Cup 4th round and last 16 of the UEFA Cup so Maureen is on course to equal Juande Ramos’ achievements as Spurs manager so far

The best is when they realise that the ‘deadwood’ won’t be replaced by better players - more deadwood gets brought in - as those same deadwood players become key players.

Complaint sandy???
The truth is that we don't have the financial clout to spend the same amount as the big boys so the only way we can match them is by buying cheaper and coaching the hell out of them. That is not Jose's strength (I'm not sure what is to be fair) and this is why Poch or a Nangelsmann type are far more suited to the spurs model.
And I'm surprised Levy can't see it. It's so blindingly obvious.

Well aren't you praising him in the main article by declaring we're still in 4 comps (so early in the season where we've yet to be fully tested in the cups). It strikes me as rather healthy to provide some balance. Why would you want to join a forum and only talk to people that share your opinion? That's pointless isn't it? It would be a bloody short discussion.
Off the top of my head poch's first didn't have us get kicked out of the fa cup for another week or so

Levy didn't back Poch so we had lost the final and not refreshed the squad. Of course you lose faith and drop your levels. It's natural. But to drop it all at Poch's door is nothing short of moronic. The buck stops with Levy for me. One for not keeping faith with Poch and more crucially, not backing him in the same way Jose was last summer. If we'd done that at the right time, we might be in Liverpool's shoes now.
The one thing that separates Poch from Klopp and Pep is that the latter two have been backed by the owners financially.

We haven't faced anyone of note in Europe - though it's difficult to forget that in the qualifiers, we were 1-0 down to the team laying 5th in the Bulgarian league with 10 mins to go. Fortunately, they had 2 men sent off and we got through by the skin of our teeth.
FA Cup - Marine.
Carabao - Good draw against a disappointing Chelsea, and then bye's and Championship teams.
We are sh!t mate. With a sh!t manager.
In Son, Kane and Ndombele, we have world class players who constantly get us out of trouble.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sh!t fans like you and most other posters on here. You forgot to write that mate. I feel for you though. Pinning all your hopes on King Jose being sacked by Xmas. Bahahahahaha
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why am I a sh!t fan? I want what is best for the team, I think Mourinho is a disaster for us and the longer he stays, the more damage he will do.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The damage was done by Poch. You should be glad Jose is here. Look how well he has improved Kane, Son Ndombele. Brought in Reg and PEH. Lloris is looking better. Transformed Dier. Brought Toby back into the team. It takes time to undo the mess Poch left us in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow, I'm absolutely staggered by that last comment. Do you really think over a year on that we've improved? Sure we had a bit of a dip in form at the end of Poch's reign but you can't judge him entirely on that. The football was great, got to a couple of finals, very nearly won the greatest club competition of all yet for some reason you think we should be glad Jose is here? The football is absolutely woeful mate. Plus in order to get to the League Cup final, we've had some serious luck with the draws. Same goes for the EL.
In short, we now play terrible football and are inconsistent in terms of results. We have no real plan other than giving the ball to our best two players to get us out of a hole. Under Poch we had a team, an identity and a plan. I'm so shocked that anyone can push their head above the parapet and declare we've improved without even a hint of irony. It's laughable to be honest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In short when Poch left we were 14th in the league. Results/league positions have improved. Yes the football has not been great at times but there have been improvements to the players I have mentioned previously. With this and another window or 2, to get rid of the deadwood who have been talked about upteens times. Then allow Jose to bring more better players in we will only get better. In my opinion.

I definitely remember Mourinho defenders saying "Wait till he's been at the club a year before judging". Funny how that's shifted to "another 2-3 transfer windows."

07/08 Spurs got to the league cup final, FA Cup 4th round and last 16 of the UEFA Cup so Maureen is on course to equal Juande Ramos’ achievements as Spurs manager so far

The best is when they realise that the ‘deadwood’ won’t be replaced by better players - more deadwood gets brought in - as those same deadwood players become key players.

I've never said a year. He signed a 3 or 4 year contract. I fully expect him to be here for that long.

Even if I did say a year. Improvements have been made since he joined. Can't dispute that.

The truth is that we don't have the financial clout to spend the same amount as the big boys so the only way we can match them is by buying cheaper and coaching the hell out of them. That is not Jose's strength (I'm not sure what is to be fair) and this is why Poch or a Nangelsmann type are far more suited to the spurs model.

And I'm surprised Levy can't see it. It's so blindingly obvious.

Well aren't you praising him in the main article by declaring we're still in 4 comps (so early in the season where we've yet to be fully tested in the cups). It strikes me as rather healthy to provide some balance. Why would you want to join a forum and only talk to people that share your opinion? That's pointless isn't it? It would be a bloody short discussion.
