You are right it's a waste of time but I can't help myself.
I did ban myself from the post match threads last season as I got a bit obsessed with outing the bedwetters and the rags and dippers who descend whenever we lose but that the other night for nothing more than glorified friendlies really irked me.
I won't be going into them this season and I'm hoping there won't be many opportunities for the cryarsing entitled fans to moan as I feel the new signings, new coaches and a good rest will revive the team for next season.
Can't wait.
Not guaranteed but there's every chance of what you say happening.Some will accuse me of wishful thinking, but I think this squad is tremendously talented and will be great to watch.
The new team Pep is building will need time and will experience setbacks, followed by waves of criticisms on here, but my guess is, we'll witness spectacular performances next season, especially the in the second half of the season.
This time last season - and right up to the point that we were beating them 2-0 in Paris after 55 minutes - most outsiders wouldn't have dreamt that PSG would turn into the team that beat all comers in taking the Champs League.
With a little more time to bed in, fitness and luck, that could be us next season.

Can you do this for me please.I did ban myself from the post match threads last season
Where's Franz Beckenbauer (or the wonderful Bobby Moore) when needed?We need a sweeper.
Can I ask you something, will we get anywhere with Gundogan and Bernie playing in the same team and are you surprised Pep hasn’t seen this ?Watching the highlights, the defending was a horror show. We won’t return to winning trophies until we get two top quality central defenders and at least one class winger. We’ll never get anywhere with Doku and Savio playing on the same team. I’m surprised Pep hasn’t seen that.
Agree, the heat there was mind blowing having been out for a game so hard to judge anything.This time last season - and right up to the point that we were beating them 2-0 in Paris after 55 minutes - most outsiders wouldn't have dreamt that PSG would turn into the team that beat all comers in taking the Champs League.
With a little more time to bed in, fitness and luck, that could be us next season.
Without seeing the match, is it fair to say we dominated it but their keeper won it for them?
Mats Hummels (Roma) would be my shout.Still playing but at 36 not a viable option.Where's Franz Beckenbauer (or the wonderful Bobby Moore) when needed?
Ps don't answer and my response not meant to be in bad taste :-)
But just WHERE do you find a sweeper and a player who can ping a decent forward pass these days?
I think it is also true that he was surrounded by defenders when making those saves, where we are tending to concede far more one-on-ones because we do not play a defensive game. This is leading to stats suggesting our opponents as massively efficient. It is about balance for us - we are not going to change our principles and nor should we.It's fair to say we created much more chances than them, but they were more clinical on the night. No doubt their keeper was fantastic (11 saves, some outstanding), but it's also true we weren't sufficiently clinical.
He would have prevented their breakaway goal....might not have been on the pitch for the rest of it mind. ;)When Nunes was subbed would it have been a better option to have used Khusanov. From recollection he is very good at recovery and MAY have been able to disrupt the quick counter attacks. Just a thought.
