Seething. Fucking seething. Knew we weren't going to win but I didn't expect to be so pissed off.
Some performances today were truly gutless. I'm sick to fucking death of them 'raising their game' against us and us not doing the same. It's inexcusable for me. We know they're going to be up for it so why aren't we? Why aren't we prepared for such a game? Why can't we string 4 passes together against them?
It's all well and good saying, "we always lose against Everton," but we have done absolutely fuck all in last 3 years to stop it from happening.
i felt like that but you have to understand that its football and you gotta just chill!
Seriously let yourself relax, we can simply focus on the fa cup, take what we did wrong at everton and make ourselves into a brilliant team in the space of a week!.
but yeah shite performance lol
It is just football, I agree, but when you spend most of your earnings on it, it does become a bit more emotionally attached to you.
We might well be in the FA Cup semi-finals but who's going to start that game and play well for us? More worryingly for me, the game against the Scum at the swamp the week before could be a nightmare. They essentially get to do what we did to them last year and 'win' the league against the other one at home. That's what worries me. Add to that, Spurs are biting our ankles and ready to jump above us in to second. Oh, and we need to play them at the Lane as well. Mint.
Sorry but I do think we're relying heavily on the FA Cup for it to be an acceptable season. If we lose that semi (or the final) where does that leave us? What have we done this season in terms of progressing? (I'd argue from a fan's point of view that beating Arsenal away is the only thing).
We've not learned how to play against Everton, Stoke, Sunderland (like last year, [and the year before][[and the year before that]]) and we've even managed to forget how to grind out results against lesser teams away from home (West Ham, Southampton, QPR) and we've still got Reading and Swansea to go to!
I just think that the season has been on the edge of being 'a failure' but we've had positives to cling on for a while (FA Cup, 2nd, only lost 3-4, etc). If we don't win the FA Cup and end up losing out on 2nd place, then it really is a shit season.
