Anyway, now that the season is over, how do we fell overall? (apologies for Premiership focus)


I thought it was a cracker. I have obvious disappointments, and yesterday was possibly slightly anti-climatic but there was PLENTY to get your teeth into this season


Tight race between several teams at the top

Congested bottom half where so many teams got sucked in

mini-miracle revivals at Sunderland and Palace

sense of change in the Natural Order of Things

That Wilshire goal


etc etc

aye, well done city. on a more mundane note, sam can go on about safety and 13th, but we've been relegated on more than 40 points before, with better teams playing better football.

A horrible year. Distubed by reports in the press saying he's safe in his job.


On a happier note Cole retires from international football.

Man City fully deserved it. Scored the most goals and played some fantastic football along the way. Does Mick Mac watch a different game to the rest of us? Hurling perhaps?


A very disappointing season at Spurs. Played dead boring football under AVB. Not impressed with Sherwood. Took some hidings off the big teams and beaten three times by the Hammers. Wasted money on seven players who'd never played in the Premiership before. The chairman and DOF have a lot to answer for. We need stability at the club. I'm now of the opinion that Harry should never have been sacked despite him taking his eye off the ball when the England job came up.

Not keen to see the most expensively constructed team winning on this occasion. Good as they are I feel its a shame.


I think a Liverpool win would have been a success for coaching and a coach who achieved the sum of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. A team for less than 100m winning the league would have been good to see. Call me an old romantic, but I'd like to have seen that and Mourinho's tactics against Liverpool were just destructive, I don't like to see that winning through either. Rodgers showed some weaknesses too of course.


Man City are a possession team with the best players.


Liverpool was very much, we will score more than you. Great fun and the best season for a while, for me.


What will be interesting is whether Liverpool now spend as the others have done. They will probably need to as they significantly overperformed their resources this year.

i agree entirely

I'm all for taking a younger team to the WC and hope he drops the likes of Lampard.


BUT


If we do get to say a quarter final and Baines gets injured, I think I'd have liked to have had Cole's experience to step in. Not a fan of the man but can't really fault the player even if he is past his peak.

Latter stages? If England are good enough to get out of their group they are a better team than I thought.

Noone thought too much about the euro 96 team going into it, amazing how a bit of success can turn a national mood around and make legends out of players, people were screaming for shearer to be dropped prior to that, leave alone the likes of sick-note!!


Of course in reality I'm invclined to agree....but the national mood could do with a bit of lifting (or are my just projecting my own mood thanks to these endless EFFING GREY CLOUDS!!!!)

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
