Now you mention it, thank God last night wasnt the last game of the season..... how painful would that have been?!?!?
this is my favourite from their site today.
by the way - Chicken badge!? what sort of username is that
My word they are throwing their toys out of the pram aren't they (as no doubt we would too!!)
If we win at Wolves what a bleedin' week we would have had. (Or is that a big 'if'?!?!?!)
Havent read the harry thread but read the match thread from page 35 ish and it certainly makes comical reading I love the fact that on several occasions they refer to the fact that as a club they are serial bottlers - good to see self awareness

Blame the manager's tactics, the players' effort, the board for selling players etc.
Yes but Quartz the point you are missing is that when we do it we're making a serious point and are clearly right, when Spurs do it its very very very funny.

Except the fact that every football fan with any semblence of intelligence has always seen the media love in with twitcher for what it is........bulls**t His cv has never suggested a top manager and I dont understand how being a trophyless twitching c**t makes you qualified for the english managers job Of course the media who have built him up for the job wont accept any responsibility for doing so and will be the first to bash him when his clueless management is exposed at international level
Just shows how little the past matters to many fans.
As for Redknapp his team selections have been odd recently, I really think the fraud trial shook him up so much that he has been a zombie since it ended.
The media impression is that Redknapp is a great manager, getting the best out of players as individuals. Maybe so.
But he seems lost tactically, and does not have a strong squad at present.
Which is an important point Augie. People might question "Why buy Vertonghen?" when we have four centre backs, or "Why buy Dempsey" when we look to have signed Podolski, but I am very keen on a strong squad with genuine competition for places leading to a very strong bench.
Got to agree with Quartz on this one. While it's very funny reading their comments, it does sound very similar to the stuff some of ours write on here after a defeat. I can't even take the piss out of my spurs mates for booing their own team anymore as they just point to us doing the same a few weeks back...
See that is all well and good but we all know that deep down at the root of the criticism of wenger is the fact that he has had money to spend and he will not use it on proven quality Almost every resulting shortcoming can be traced back to that fact and it is unavoidable so for that wenger is entitled to every bit of stick he gets. Of course it seems that tactically twitcher is every bit as shit as guru wenger

Agree. What he did at half time at our place was mind boggling but welcome all the same and he's continued to behave like Ranieri ever since.
Keep it up Harry!
