Lets thank God we arent realistic and know nothing football Anne.
Some of these posters or should that read posers think they know more about football than Kenny! some of them deffo have an agenda and thats why they infest this site! But I was prepared to give Jim the benefit of the doubt (rightly or wrongly) and hoped to get him to see a brighter side. Perhaps its hopeless!!
I have no agenda Anne whatsoever I just trey to be objective about all things - and that includes the football club I support
It's not because of my negativity that we haven't won the league for the last 21 years - just as it's not because of my neghativity that we've failed to qusalify for the Champions league in the last two
It's because we're not good enough and paying through the roof for some new jack from Sunderland who might have potential (although he didn't show a tremendous amount last season) and smashing the British transfer recored by paying an astonimical £36m for another player whose far from being the finished article doesn't fill me with a massive amount of confidence - especially if we're losing better-quality players who they have come in for (Meireles/Aqialani/Torres)
In the past 2-3 years three of our best players all submitted transafer requests. Of course no player is bigger than the team but if players of this calibre want out it's not great news.
Rather than write them off as mercenaries and shower them with personal abuse (although IMO that description fits Torres and Mascherano) I'd rather look atr why they wanted out so badly - and it's primarily because we're a club going in the wrong direction (or at least we were when they left)
Why i should be abused for saying such truths is beyond me - as is why this view would exclude me from being a true supporter
Next season I'll ne watching eveery game, cheerinbg Henderson, Carrol and the like throughout the season, but unlike the rest of you, I won't be shocked if we fail to mount a title bid
