I don’t get the general fascination for Tommy Tookle from all and sundry over the past couple of years and nothing we’ve produced under him or anything he’s said so far has enlightened me yet.
We still look half-baked and offensively clueless but we’re somehow within reach of the top 4. I don’t think Lampard would’ve secured CL football for next season but it still guts me both that he’s gone and the way it was done. Under TT we are yet to show that we can sustain a challenge for the top 4 and the next few games could get very messy indeed.
I hope I’m wrong but I fear we may be out of contention by the end of March. Please prove me wrong Chelsea.
Yes indeed. Until the 0-6 at City last season I’d almost forgotten what it was like for us to get such a hammering. Then I remembered 0-7 at Forest (I think Durie hit the post after 2 mins and it all went downhill after that) and the 2-6 at home against them in the mid 80s where one of the worst players in the world (Franz Carr) pretty much ended the football career of our left back (John Millar I think). Today was utter crap but I still have a reasonable hope that we’ll limp over the line this season.
I begged my mum and dad to let me have the week off school after that one. On The Big Match as well. Was at the return game later that season, which we got gubbed 4-1. Seriously unhappy with what I’ve just watched today but perspective is a nice leveller.
